Tobin, Thanks for the shout out😊👊 I am honored. Great review. The price is great for that razor. It would be a BBB...Best Budget Buy😂

Oh, man! BBS gives me an idea for a whole other series! I already bought seven other razors from Amazon. If you don't mind I may actually use that in a short video series. Thanks, Sam, your comment was very useful!

Thanks Carlitos! Such a great film! Emily loves all the 80s films. We've watched so many of them with her. We just watched Ferris (again) last week! Have a good one!

Excellent razor review. I'd wish more people would do it like this because for a newbee ( and perhaps even the well experienced user ) it is so informative that even without the basics of shaving itself, it is helping you to choose wether you would buy it or not just based on the razor itself. It covers all the nescessay information people need to hear about a razor, without the need of knowing the 'differences' between razors themselves ( I hope it makes any sence ). So thank you Tobin, and I am waiting for the next one. And please remember people: "Life Moves Pretty Fast. If You Don’t Stop And Look Around Once In A While, You Could Miss It."

Hello Tobin, I am a new subscriber to your channel and I am impressed with the quality of your videos. I am also a new shaver, having purchased my first razor last summer. I find your tutorials to be both informative and entertaining, and I particularly enjoy your outdoor shaving. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.

Thank you very much! The outdoor shaves are definitely my favorite content to make. Don't get me wrong these are fun tok😉

Great video, Tobin! I really liked that you compared against familiar razors in terms of blade gap, but also proved that gap isn't the only factor in efficiency. Looking forward to more razor reviews!

Thanks, Patrick! I have a handful more of cheap razors from Amazon to share in the future too. Have a good one!

I've been looking forward to this 🐐! I consider myself a newbie ish, I started wetshaving fall 2023 and I too purchased a popular razor from Amazon. Thank you for explaining "chatter", I kind of knew what it and seen people talk about it but I've never fully known what it was until your explanation. Also I didn't know or really think about the blade "angle" because I also always wondered why razors with very similar blade gaps/exposure can feel completely different so that was good info. I do have a Rockwell 6C and I'm familiar with plate 3, so that's a good point of reference for me. Looking forward to this series! 💯

Great! Yeah, I think you're right on track for what you want to accomplish. It's a different way than if seen, but it's right in line with how you do your soap scents and it gives you more time with the razor to really get a feel for it. I know for sure that it takes a little while to get a feel for a razor and sometimes you end up loving one that didn't start that way. I wish I had started with this one as it does look like a good one and you'd be hard pressed to find all the value with this set. I bet it's super hard juggling a bunch of new stuff and trying to talk about each thing. These should be great and I'm looking forward to more. Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Ian! I'm trying to come at these reviews from all angles and give the viewer as much info as possible in as little time as possible. I hope to hit the ground running with the Athena.

Excellent! Well done Tobin!!

Nice review. The one thing I would say is to me blade chatter is a characteristic that is worth noting, but I do not think there is a universal opinion of whether it is desirable or not. Some people like it and some don’t. Some razors are great without it some with it. I like the audible feedback from a razor with chatter. Sometimes for me, razors with a really tightly clamped blade can be tough to read - both aggressive or mild. Chatter is a funny attribute. Keep up the great work bud.

Love the shirt! Nice review. Looking forward to this series.

Would love you to do this type of review on a Razor Emporium revamped 1960’s Gillette Slim. I like your approach to this, don’t need to watch someone shaving all the time. Thanks buddy

Great idea for a series, man. I should do something similar with razors off Amazon Japan. Do you mind if I borrow your idea? It wouldn’t be anytime soon though. I’m still in the beginning stages of about 50 sample soap reviews. Haha!!

I recommend doing blade gap and exposure in mm not inches. It’s a more universal measurement. Just saying.

@Tobins_throwbacks

Ай бұрын

I thought about that, but as a stubborn American, I refuse to use the Metric system 😅

I agree that it’s best not to review too many products in the same video. It waters things down a bit. Good idea to keep the reviews quite short as attention spans seem to be getting shorter.

Very well review Tobin. I love your idea of not just shave videos, but a little of everything. Lots of gpod information on brush videos razor videos and soap videos. Can't wait till you do some aggressive razor reviews. My go to is the merkur progress. You get an aggressive shave at the right setting. Especially when you set it passed 5. I been looking for something aggressive besides the Muhle R41. What are your recommendations?

To Hyperinflation we her in Croatia also! Before Euro came for example the German Chocolate Milka 80g about 0.76€ now 1,75€. Because they say the fuel prices have gone up so much! I found a fuel bill from 2019. Diesel cost €1.41 per liter, but now it costs €1.38 when I filled it up yesterday! Inflation is being artificially created to bring us down!
