Gotta love that sentence at 8:59 "Your razors are delivered free each month to your door for just a few dollars." I know what he meant but as a writing major I'm required to point this out. My nerd brain finds it hilarious.

Thank you! We, in my family, are fanatical Sherlock Holmes fans; so this video was delightful. In addition, I found one of our choices for a Father's Day gift this year. (Tell Dollar Save Club) This video was a twofer! Thanks again. Love all of your videos!

After watching a numerous amount of your videos I would be very interested in seeing how you guys get so many quality/interesting videos out every single day

The best part about that story about the man in the professor's class is that in the books it's almost spot on with only a slight adjustment of Sherlock's first meeting Watson which makes it even more interesting.

Another bonus fact: Despite the fact that the phrase has become famous, Sherlock Holmes doesn't use deductive reasoning. The process of reasoning from an observation to the most likely cause is called abductive reasoning, also know as "inference to the best explanation." In deductive reasoning, the only possible conclusion is one that necessarily follows from the evidence - which would mean that the answer to the mystery would be so clear to anyone able to follow logic that a detective like Holmes wouldn't be needed.

Geez... Comments are saturated with the Physics graphic which is an obvious mistake, but people are going to obsess and get all bent out of shape over the damnest things. Really enjoyed the video and the information. Thank you. On a different note, the shave looks good! Granted, I haven't used a razor in years but am curious as to trimmers. I'll go check their site and see if they have anything that won't yank the hair out instead of cutting it.

It's not a mistake. Back then you actually studied Physics to become a physician. Curriculum at university has changed much but then it was all just science.

I OBJECT sherlock holmes was inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's Dupin from the 1841 short story "The Murders of the Rue Morgue". The portrayal of Doyle''s professor's deduction skills is identical in method to that of Poe's detective. That is wayyyy too much of a coincidence to ignore, especially given that Poe's work predates Doyle's. Of course Poe had his influences as well, but The Murders of the Rue Morgue arguably created the detective genre, and so it is impossible to deny the story and Poe's influence on Doyle.

Hi there, Simon. A little while back, I made a comment regarding the high temple areas of your beard. I fussed a bit (my absolute FAVE thing to do... fuss about non important things) how it seems to my eyeballs that one side is a bit higher than the other. I think it was your left. But you know what? Glad you asked "What, Michel?" I have decided I don't really give a rat's pahtootie, as I think you are THREE of my fave channels of the 60+ I follow. Really, you and the other guy, who's name escapes me just now... is there a THIRD also?... do something I find quite enlightening. I feel I have found something brilliant in that I found your channel. It is SO informative. Some things you yak on about have NO interest to me... only a few to say for sure... but MY GOSH, your channel is MOST times a real eye opener. And to that end_ THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Now, if I could just get you to say some of the words I have heard you say in a more correct manner... naww - fah get ah baght it. You are PERFECT just the way you are, buddy. And I will be looking forward to the daily "I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! THANKS!!! Take care, and keep on keeping on. Respectfully, A HUGE fan Michel J. Gaudet PS_ my first name is said as 'MICHAEL' I just don't have the 'a' in there - not my idea.

Hi Mr Simon Whistler! love the show you guys have put together.

My brother-in-law subscribed to dollar shave club last year, his shaving technique is great! My sis was like "His skin is way more smoother! I'm gonna buy more of those shave butter cream!" Thanks for the informative video Simon!

Haha, as a fellow bald/bearded man I truly enjoyed your plug for the Dollar Shave Club. Bravo, and keep making amazing videos!

Holmes was at first to be 'Sherringford', before the tidier Sherlock was chosen - as Mortimer Mouse became Mickey. I believe the early name slips in once in the Holmes series as a sort of homage.

OMG you actually got that right. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a major inspiration for Sherlock based on his deductive reasoning in diagnosing diseases.

Why hasn't there been a movie about Dr. Bell and his involvement with the Jack the Ripper case?

Today I found out "Today I Found Out" a fucking awesome youtube channel. Your channel is awesome. Subscribed.

Been using Dollar Shave for a couple of years now -- and it's great! In fact, all their products are quite good.

Fine video about Holmes, Doyle, ..., and you're funny with your sponsor ads or promotions. I perhaps would benefit from cutting my head hair but have only trimmed it (very infrequently) for many years now, for I'm not coordinated enough to be able to give myself a nice hair cut, as some people sometimes are very capable of doing for themselves, and I'm not interested in paying 15 $ CAD (plus tip) for a cut that'll take no more than 5 to max. 10 minutes. Also, I wouldn't want to thoroughly shave my head. This is Canada and it can get quite cold here some periods of winter, so some hair adds to the protection provided by tuques. :) As for the beard, I just trim it a little once in a while, though much more often than my head hair; beard being facial hair, vs head hair being on the tops of our heads. The beard does help during winter months. I's very, very seldom that a scarf (as nice as some are) is needed over the face, so this makes the bearded part a "little handy". The only bald people I've noticed around where I reside are like truly bald, rather than people who just cut their head hair so short that they can look bald, depending on distance. You're not truly bald, for if you were, then you surely wouldn't need to shave your scalp, so you're just preferring to have your hair this short, which, of course, is surely convenient when bathing or showering, for the little hair you have remaining will dry in ... what, 2 or 3 minutes; as opposed to a person with long hair needing to wait, ... what, an hour or more, for the hair to dry naturally, that is. But you live in the UK somewhere, maybe England, and the winter climate surely is normally milder than it is here. Cheater, cheater, ...! "Shame on you" for living in a milder climate. :) It must be convenient to have such short hair for another reason that now comes to mind. You surely are protected from head lice, or whatever those nasty pest insects are called. I never got anything of the kind but have heard of the problem sometimes occuring in the USA as well as Canada. Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap, a concentrated liquid herbal soap, however, can surely get rid of head lice, as well as working against "crabs" people sometimes get in pubic hairs from use of ... well, infested toilets, f.e. Gotta be very careful with that soap though, for it's very strong and needs to be diluted in order to avoid burning yourself, for it's a STRONG disinfectant (organically herbal but very strong), and with one bottle, it can be made into several properly diluted bottles of equal size/volume. He also has other excellent organic soaps, Castille, Lavender (wonderful body wash), Rose, Sandalwood and surely others, all, from my experience, directly usable, unlike his peppermint soap (packs a punch, to say the least). www.drbronner.com It's sold in stores in the US and Canada, but possibly also elsewhere, and you get real value for your $'s.

thats cool how doctor bell assisted with the actual jack the ripper cases. never did that much research into them to find that out myself

Simon, you might want to take a look at the rise of the modern detective novel. Conan Doyle was *somewhat* late to the party. The book The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (ISBN 080271742X) is a good read on it all and goes into some depth about the development of the detective story genre.

Re: Dr Bell and Conan-Doyle being his student: If you haven't already seen it, look up "Murder Rooms: Mysteries of the Real Sherlock Holmes", starring Ian Richardson as Dr Bell. Fine viewing for fans of this genre, but also...he kinda looked like that photo of him at 1:18.

Dr. Carver's Shave Butter is the best! But in a pinch the Executive's blades work just fine with only water.

I actually use dollar shave club! They have great razors and they're highly affordable.

I had heard Watson was based on Doyle.... they served in similar wars in similar ways... and his key feature was documenting

I wish companies that have "first month for x dollars" would just say what it will cost for the months after the first one in the advertisement so people don't have to look into the fine print to find out what it is.

My anger is still well placed and the theory is sound, you almost never get the info. without some serious digging.

Nitpicking, perhaps, but it seems that Sherlock Holmes's method is not deductive, even if he claims so. Deduction needs the conclusion to be necessary given the premises given, and goes from general premise to specific conclusion, I believe. This is not generally the case in crime solving

"Elementary" Did you know that Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson" in any of the stories by Conan Doyle.

Yeah, Paul Harvey told this on "The Rest of the Story" years ago. Still fascinating though.

I've used dollar shave club in the past, was convenient, cheap and no hassle to cancel when I had to.

What about Doyle's alleged stupidity for being taken in by a couple of pre-teen girls who convinced him that they were visited by fairys and had even taken photographs of them ?

One small point, Holmes didn't use deductive reasoning, he used abductive reasoning.

You should do a video on Frederick Augustus Heinze "The man who outsmarted Standard Oil"

not a single mention of Edgar Allan Poe, who wrote a similar character years before Doyle.

Wasn’t he Also inspired by the first sleuth like investigator and pairing dynamic from Edgar Allen Poes stories

Dollar Shave Club may be out of business pretty soon, as far as their head razors go, because cancer researchers accidentally found a cure for baldness at the University of Texas last week.

Could the character Gregory House from the show House M.D. be inspired by Bell as well?

Okay so like, can Daven make a video on why 4 hours of sleep makes me function better than 5 hours of sleep? Because I've noticed that if I get 4 hours of sleep, that it's sufficient and I can function almost as well as if I had gotten a standard 7 1/2. I wake up well rested and ready to get up and do stuff. But if I go over 4 hours but under 7, I feel like I only got like 5 minutes of sleep. Shouldn't more sleep be better? I don't get it. And also, if I sleep more than 8 hours I feel almost the same, like I didn't get enough sleep. I got more than enough, can I just not bank sleep hours? Lol. But please, no offense Simon (I love you and all, but I love Daven just a teeny bit more), please have Daven present the video? Oh that would make my world! I'd be so happy :)

Sherlock Holmes was a real person. His real name is revealed in the last Holmes story written by Doyle. His Last Bow is the story. But, you have to read it carefully because Doyle puts your own deductive skills to work. Doyle was infuenced by Bell but his stories were based on his own experiences and his chronicles of the real detective. All of Doyle's stories are set in the 19th century but inspired real law enforcement of the 20th century to use Holmes'/ Doyle's methods to solve crimes. Fingerprints are just one thing the Holmes stories used as a way to find a killer. Bell and Doyle both named the suspect in the Ripper killings but Scotland Yard and higher-ups in the Monarchy never revealed who it was. Numerous movies have been made about Holmes stalking the Ripper. A Study In Terror is one and one starring Christopher Plumner is another. It was called Murder By Decree.

I remember of reading something like officer story in sat practice

Dude. I like your beard.

How many other people were very worried when he started talking about the other important aria he needs to shave?

8:58 "after that your razors are delivered free each month to your door for just a few dollars" Oh dear...

LOVE this series...

Dollarshave sounds all nice and everything... unless you live in the US - then even a expensive superstore crap is cheaper.

can confirm that shave butter is top noch.

I already have DSC so I'll show my support by attesting to the quality of the razors, regardless of gender. I've been using them for years now and there's no reason to go back.

No mention of how Owen Wilson inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle while helping Jackie Chan avenge the death of his father?

I thought that Holmes was also inspired by Vidocq the french private investigator from the 18th/19th century.

Excuse me but Monson was not found "Not Guilty". He is one of that select group of Scottish murder trial defendants (like Madeleine Smith) found, "Not Proven" by the jury, that middle verdict based on measuring the evidence as to whether it is beyond a shadow of a doubt - it is usually of such a middle point range it is called, "You're not guilty, but don't do it again!!" Most commentators (like the later mentioned William Roughead) feel Monson was definitely guilty.
