His store is fantastic, many items that are hard to find in stock in other places, shipping is stupid fast (I had items shipped in less than half an hour after checking out), the employees write a nice note (by hand) on the receipt, and send a nice gift on every box (I LOVED the hand towel).

R41 is one of the best safety razors. Open comb and aggressive. Such a close shave!!

Thnx for all the videos and tips you give. I must admit that I use Muhle R89 and R41 both twist, Feather and Astra blades, Feather SS artist and Parker SRX shavettes, TOBS sandalwood, Arko, proraso soaps and aftershaves, proraso brush...mostly because of your reviews. I watched manyu reviews and explenations but I fund yours are the best. The only miss for me was the Parker 22R, idk if mine is a bit defected but the blade is more exposed on one side and never really liked to shave with it. I want to get a more serious natural brush in the future, but the cheap Proraso by Omega one is doing a good job since more than 1 year. Muhle and Simpsons brushes are on my radar, idk witch one to chose and they are quite pricey tho. I use a bit of everything, cream tubes (proraso and TOBS), hard (Proraso and Arko) and softer soaps (TOBS), I like the Proraso brush size, I wouldn't go smaller. Tips?

Congrats, love your videos. I would like to see a Irving Barber Company (IBC) shavette review, I've searched for one on your channel. Greetings from Denmark :-)

Great video, I love Proraso Red sandalwood. I have top 10 soaps, aftershaves and blades well 3 blades. I get my alum block from shave nation! I also have 10 razors 7 vintage 3 new, my favorite is the Gillette Heritage razor.

I wish you many more successful years. Greetings from Greece ;-)

I didn't expect to see the Henson up there! Is it really that good? Like better than any Merkur, Edwin Jagger, Rockwell or Parker that you've seen in the last 11 years? There seems to be very divided opinions about the Henson DE and a lot of people dislike it or call bs on the whole hype from what I've read. I've only just started watching your content a few weeks ago, but I'm curious to hear more about what makes it so much better besides the friendly angle? Cheers!

maybe you can do a video about your experience when traveling. Storing, hotel bathrooms.... Planes... ? - I switched from cardrige to DE When I was a student by accident. But stayed. Now, I bought a shavette for the first pass when I haven't shaved for a couple of days. What makes me think about buying a nice straight razor once I find a good and beautiful one. But when traveling all that is more complicated. Often they take of the razor blades at the airport. The bathrooms have no ideal mirrors and light, not enough space to put on all the things needed etc..... Last time I went for a 5 star hotel just because I wanted to have a nice shave in a nice bathroom too 😅and they actually had an adjustable magnifying mirror. That's fantastic!

I recently discovered my new favorite DE blade, after having tried dozens including most of the biggest names. It's my favorite, and is on the low end price-wise. It's Lord Blue Sword. GeoFatBoy, if you're reading this, have you tried the Blue Sword? I can't find it on your website.

Hey Geo, need some advice on a great razor. I'm looking for something that's just as efficient, if not better, than the Muhle Rocca razor you recommended 3 years ago. I love how baby smooth my skin gets with a Feather blade, but it's a tad aggressive. Tried many blades like the Astra, Nacets, and other smoother blades, but I'm having a hard time with the aggressiveness on my cheeks and chin. What's a good alternative I could look into? The first few razors I had in mind were the Muhle R89, Feather AS-D2, and Henson AL13. Is the R89 still your go to favorite razor? Should I look at something else? Thanks!

Hello Geo, thanks for the new one. Here are some ideas for new vids: Please make a thorough tour of your store. Maybe two or three parts. Make a video of an order process from A to Z. Make some videos of your team. Who makes what, how is their day in the company.? Visit your local suppliers and make some videos about the production process. Please make some videos of weird shaving supplies. Make some tests of shaving creams and soaps. Any trouble shooting known about shaving supplies? If yes, a video can be made. A video about maintaining your shaving supplies as a fresh up. What about a monthly news video about shaving stuff and new innovations as a teaser for future testings. Maybe a video about long term relatability of certain shaving stuff. How to extend the life of your brush, straight razor or DE razor? What about a long term test? How long can a blade last? Do you think is is feasible to make videos of the shave dens of you fans. Maybe they can send you good videos. Q&A videos. Your youtube subscriber’s have questions or need tipps and you answer them in videos. Do shaving supplies fairs exist? Maybe you can make a walk around video. What about a video about comments regarding your videos? So thats all that came in my mind. Hopefully you can adopt some of my ideas. (sorry for my grammar.) have a great time. Werner from Germany

Greetings Geo. I have a safety razor that belonged to my grandfather. My dad remembers him with that one razor all the time. My dad inherited that safety razor from my grand dad and three years ago my dad gave it to me. I do not know the brand or how old it is, most likely 80/100 years old. Here is my question: What razor is a good present to give to someone hoping it will last many for years even generations to come. Is feather AS D2s the answer? Are the other razors that can last for many years?

Geo, I always wanted to make a shaving video, maybe during Halloween, where you are demonstrating a straight razor and accidentally cut your jugular vein and bleed to death from the neck. I don’t think this is your style, but I’d love to see someone do it.

@@geofatboy i have had the van der hagen safety razor for many years and would appreciate your feedback on it. Also was wondering what your thoughts are on switching to a straight razor such as the Spartacus?

I got a homepage and my orders goin here in north sweden, i have one that makes razors by hand and i got alot of the famous gear like the futur and merkur and the others for less than half price. But i think i have razors that can use shark stainless and chrome version and do one single pass on my thick thick beard and head too and one single pass is enough . I rarely have to do two , i think alot of the razors are just not close enough and the blade is the problem when using like voskhod on my italian super hd csr i just are fine after one pass and with merkur i need like 3 with a feather blade. There are so great safety razors from india and china too coming that kicks serious ass and razorock tries to copy them and alot of others too but just dont come close to the same crazy good shave. And im all in for the soaps that have oil in them for thick hair growth i like the northen lights and north star razor also the mellon razor and with the swedish de blades there is closer shaves and sharper blades than feather for sure , i would pick Kai blades , Personna lab blue , Gilette rubie plus, Merkur super platinum , Personna platinum (germany),Wizamet super iridium ,Matgicol Swedish steel platinum blades , Polsilver super iridium blades, Razolution (germany made blades), Timor stainless , all of those blades works better for me than feather . Feather and not as smooth either as those for me, i recomennd the shark chrome first and the most get the best and closest shave with my razors and one pass are as smooth as you can get also there is zero need for balm with the right soap with oils just warm water and rub it in the skin loves that in winter. There are alot more better shaving than merkur and edwin jagger and the others now , and why would you use a razor than need so many passes? And like the Futur thats a big scam , that razor is from china and cost 8dollars and they have better versions than that one. Zaqi razors have released some crazy good ones but i got my handmade ones that will be awailable this year . My prices are so low on ALL of the products some soaps are 1 dollar , a 100 pack of shark for 4 dollars and the razors never over 40 dollars . Brushes from 5 dollars to 15 badger white top and special made ones for everyone . The new shavette stuff coming out will be hot on the market too.
