The BiG Shave Sunday 18th September

The Merkur Slant/Feeather combo continues its unstoppable I may rest it if it doesnt surrender soon or I may just may get bored of it but not bored of the results, I'm not noted for hyperbole but its pretty astounding and so cost effective, Its probably the desert island of the razor world. Anyhow watch.

This was a spectacular shave Steve. I guess that slant works like a charm. And maybe the excellent lather helps also. Great to see that DE shaving comes so easy to you in general. Very motivating/inspirational!

About the brush you used, just like hoskins1100 I also think it is so coarse because it is of the pure badger hair grade.

@bobbyboldy cheers bobby give the slant a go if you can get hold of one, they are pretty unique and not as technical as you might think

Hi Steve - The bowl you flash at 05:49 - you said it's working better - is it just a question of size of the bowl or what it's made of? - Thinking of getting a bowl and would be interested to know what's your preference for getting a lather up. Thanks

You got it right the last couple times saying it, names pronounced like (Wine-E-gar) tho I say it with a V sound t sound all cool sometimes haha, like ya said the first time! It's very interesting to see how your collection has progressed, I remember a long while ago ya just had afew. I recall there being like 3 older looking turkish razors ya had on there. It was also cool seeing the room from the other angle haha, usually just recognize the room by the round light to the left & the panel haha.

Respond to this video... to tell you the truth the lather is much better but not made a great difference to the shave, the other thing to say is turkish barbers wipe the lather off with the blunt side of teh blade, maybe its the presoftening which is so important?

Nice video Steve, I liked seeing the collection of mugs, razors, and blades, go nicely in the cabinet, thanks for the mention, I will back you up as regards to the Arko cream, when I have it on, my face glows for hours.haha. Enjoyed the behind the scenes of this video. Thanks Steve. Paul :-))

Hi Steve

Great video and interesting to see the difference in the lather. Did it make a difference to the shave?

Thanks for the "shout out" (as people much younger and hipper than I say!) and keep up the great work. I'll be particularly interested in how you get on with the different soaps.

Take care

David

P.S. Nice to hear that you are an old boy of the “Wad”; I went to the Grange in Runcorn.
