  • hey man make a vid of the blade at 0:54 !!! whered you get that? i want one~!

  • 0:59 what the hell is that???

  • nice song

  • Great video! Awesome taste in music, and a great creative commentary on the hierarchy of shaving. You're a legend. When I grow up and my kids ask where I learned to shave, I'll be telling them geofatboy from Youtube! It's great what you're doing, bringing oldschool shaving to the newschool, and making it fun. All the best.

  • love this!! ive watched it about 5 times now. great job on the syncing! My fusion is in the trash, and the Jagger is on the stand! barbasol was shot and buried, Taylor of Old Bond Street sandalwood cream is nestled in the cabinet! aqua velva was thrown out, TOBS sandalwood aftershave and RazoRock alum stick is in its place!!

  • Cool videos!

    I have sensitive skin and have been wanting to purchase a "real" razor for some time now, maybe something like Merkur 34C HD.

    Do you have any recommended razors for first timers who has sensitive skin?

    Peace!

  • Hey, Geo.

    I recently purchased a 1957 Gillette Blue Tip Super Speed. I have very sensitive skin, and the Blue Tip is one of the only razors that can give me a comfortable shave. However, I've tried using a whole bunch of different blades in it (even Feather), and it only gets me down to a close stubble.

    I was reading on the forums that you have to use a slightly different angle with a Blue Tip. I was wondering if you could possibly make a video showcasing how to correctly angle the razor.
