    I used Proraso Red Shaving Cream (in a tube) for the first time. Absolutely was blown away. Used only 1/2 tsp and it made plenty of lather for a 3 pass shave. It lathers up so quickly and provides great cushion. For someone new to wet shaving or for someone in a hurry, Proraso is the ticket.

    Hi Kevy- Nice Sandalwood shave today; thank you! Nice looking brush with the flat-top knot; very interesting! It The does look it did a nice job painting the lather. If I needed to choose one razor, it would be the Rockwell 6S. It has been a game-changer for me since the first couple of shaves with it. As far as a razor that I would like to try, it would be the Rocnel Elite. I’m definitely going to need to re-try the Super-Max Blue Diamonds. I tried one or two at the beginning of the year and then passed the rest along to a friend. But if they have made your current top five, they definitely need a re-visit! I hope the weekend ahead is a good one and all the best, Kevy!

    Mike, the 6S will take some beating as my top razor. I'm looking to try out the Karve and it will have to be some razor to knock the 6S off my top spot. Rocnel Elite looks superb. Blades are so subjective as you know, I'm just glad I've found one that seems to be working well for me. But as you know, that could change with me putting one of them in a razor and I get a horrible shave. Hopefully it won't happen. Cheers. Kevy 👍

    Kevy, love the humor in your videos. A definite plus that sets you apart. I'm hoping one of those high end razors you have on order is Rockwell's Model T. It seems amazing! There are very few reviews about it. I have been burned by a different made-to-order company, so I'm hesitant with the Model T -- especially considering the few reviews. So perhaps you have had the guts to order one, and can give us another one of your fantastic reviews.

    Great video as is usual by now. I love Poraso soaps. I tried all so far now that I bought the white. When I hear that they don't lather well ,I just have to scratch my head. I find Poraso to lather very quickly and rich. The answer to when it dries on your face is, add water or add more shave cream. It's a no brained. Great soaps at a very reasonable price.

    Kevy, they are both amazing razors. I like that the 6C comes with all the plates available. The Karve is ala cart and you pay extra for each different plate. I have the B & C which are sufficient for my needs. Shave wise, I need some more shaves with my Karve under my belt. I am testing blades still so my rotation with the Karve hasn't come up enough. But the shaves I've had are all BBS and comfortable and non-irritating.

    Great shave and chat Kevy. Proraso Red is a super good product, I find the scent fantastic and very wearable, consistent throughout. The Rockwell is definitely a keeper razor, I have both the 6S and 6C, I reach for the "C" more often as it's a little smoother I think. Can't go wrong with either though. No way can I select just one razor, of course I'm not forced to..😜 I'd have to roll the dice on the modern razors as there are so many that shave excellently, if a vintage; probably the Gillette Slim Adj. or Super 109 Black Beauty (pre 1977). Another fun and entertaining video, thanks. Enjoy!

    I really enjoy the Proraso products. Unfortunately with many other soaps in the den they tend to take a back seat to the others. When I eventually got back to finishing off the Proraso green after a couple of years, I didn't realise there could be side effects on the skin with an out of date soap, and I had a very bad reaction needing a trip to the doctor to clear my skin of the reaction. Great shave Kevy👍🏻

Lather was not really dense, but coverage was excellent. It is worth a shave video if you ask me. I had written a review for the White soap Super Formula back in the day. Read it if you have time. It is more detailed. The razor was Yaqi Scalloped and blade SuperMax Diamond Titanium. Smooth, easy 3.5 pass shave.

    YEAH!!!! IT'S A PRORASO TIME!!!! I am sorry. You know I am Proraso addictive Kevy. What a amazing video man! Thank you so much. Hey...We already have the October season (as a Sept Sandalwood?). It's really gonna be "superb" 😉. And...Yeah...People can easily find Proraso at Ebay. I am buying in a good British supplier. Thank you again. Cheers!

    Hey Edward. I don't use preshave all the time, only if I feel like it. But I would advise a beginner to use it as much as you can. Your skin needs all the help it can get when you're just starting out and I think a pre shave will definetley help you and your skin in getting a better shave. Stick with it. The Proraso pre shaves are great and not expensive. There's lots of pre shaves out there, even a moisure cream will work as a pre shave. Cheers. Kevy 👍

    That brush! It has the profile of two famous cartoon/comic book characters. The first, you cleverly identified- obviously J. Jonah Jameson. The second, is Flat Top, a villain/ freelance hitman from Dick Tracy fame. These being said, it should be mentioned that ShaveMac makes a brush with a flat silvertip knot called the Broc. It was featured on your first tour of the Groom Room. Ian had said that "Broc" was Gaelic for badger. It performed well! I was skeptical of the knot's shape. I don't think there's anything that can touch the 6S. It is indeed your deserted island razor. A unsurprising BBS. The Rockwell delivered it's goods, and did the job. Since you were chewed on by midges, the Myrsol Plastic would have made short work of the irritations. after all, that's what it was formulated to do. BUT, this is Sandalwood September, so I'm glad you stuck to your guns. I'm sold on that Super-Max!! Excellent shave to behold! Well done, Cheers!

    Not keen on the Rockwell Kev I prefer a Muhle R89 an Edwin Jagger DE89 and a Feather AS-D2 as a go to's with either Feather or Rapira LUX blades the Rockwell I found a tad to rough and the adjustment differences between the plates too wide. I now have two vintage revamped Gillette razors I am desperate to try one a an adjustable Fatboy and the other a Super Speed adjustable. The midges I remember as a kid in Sussex - now in Australia and there are similar ratbag things called sandflies and other nasty bitey things that make ones life a misery when out side in warm weather.:D

    I don’t know if you knew but those super max blades have number 1-2 on one side and 3-4 on the other. What I like doing on the first pass is using number 1 on less sensitive areas, then number 3 on a more sensitive area, and on the next passes I use 3 or 4. Seems to get me a very close shave and doesn’t irritate my skin quite so badly either. Really awesome blades.
