One thing I love about this style of shaving, or craft, is that it's just a part of your day where all the BS of life goes somewhere else. It's your own world. It's relaxing, and it's fun. And I will say, the smell that some of these soaps and creams have are out of this world amazing. Its fun to have a stand and a brush and a bowl waiting for you. It's a great experience.

@@crimsontide1980 once you make the switch to a double edge safety razor, you'll never go back to the cartridge razor. I've been shaving with safety razors for about six years now and I love it. I've got a straight razor too, but more just to have one. Safety razors are the way to go. Superior shave, no razor bump, lower long-run cost, and the craftsmanship of a quality safety razor are all reasons to shave with DE safety razors. It takes about 3-5 shaves to get the technique down, but once you do it becomes second nature.

Here in Germany they go for 3.50€ minus a 20% sale that was going on. Just finished my first shave. What can I say? Awesome result and no cuts. My wife saw your den and now she's scared :-) Thanks for your channel - I love it! Greetings from Hamburg, Germany!

Well, to be honest it is mostly that Wilkinson Classic that they carry in the drug stores. The rest is a bit more complicated. But at 3.50 including 5 blades it would be pretty stupid not to try it. If it works over the next couple days I will use it as a travel razor and get one of those Mühle R89 I think. Think that makes sense as a beginner? Henrik

Nice video, Ken. I actually like your longer videos, personally. I know you average under 10 mins. but I think you should take your time... That's part of what makes it relaxing... If it's too long for people they can always fast forward. But anyway, I hope this video encourages the folks who are "on the fence" to commit to wet shaving. I'm certainly glad I did! It's been probably 4 years now... A really enjoyable experience and "addicting" like you say... But that's okay, it's a positive addiction...haha... Actually it's really just a hobby. Some (most) people don't understand how wet shaving could be a hobby... But there's a lot worse things to spend your money and time on. Thanks Ken!

I love your Live and Let Live attitude. Great Job, Ken.

Honestly, this was really enjoyable. Getting into straight razor shaving myself and trying to educate myself on the process. Absolutely love your video and appreciation for a hobby. Thanks so much.

Thank you for your video! Helps me out as I just started with my safety razor today. You Rock Sir! Thank you!

Very helpful video! I just started wet shaving. It’s more time consuming but I love the shave. I always thought it was cool seeing my grandfather using all these interesting brushes and bowls. Great video 10/10 👍🏼

Great place to start for the beginner shaving enthusiast.. I like how you mentioned the father and son moment of your youth...that's what it's all about!

Just found this video - as a neophyte I bought a Merkur slant and Feather blades on a recommendation from a coworker. All of which you don’t recommend for a beginner which is good. Needless to say, I wound up with more than a few nicks and cuts the first few times - glad I hung in there - a couple of months later and anything less aggressive leaves me impatient. Man oh man though the soaps, aftershaves and brushes oh my! I am glad I found this hobby and your channel. Wet shaving is really a salve that soothes the soul. The variety of scents alone have activated a childlike joy in me! Take care, Model B in Texas.

Wow, great video and lots of great information. Really helped me understand how it all works better. Have a great day!

Ken, good video. Just felt like adding that basically what is different about safety razors is that the head is fixed. On cartridge razors the head pivots. This means that with safety razors you do need to pay more attention to the angle and generally you need to learn not to put pressure on the razor. You could use shaving brushes and soaps with any type of razor. You don't have to use a brush in order to use a safety razor, but it is worth mentioning that a lot of the canned shave gels or foams do contain more chemicals compared to some shaving soaps and creams, and as you mentioned the brush will help getting the soap worked better into the whiskers.

I started exploring more traditional wet shaving when an embarrassing error prompted me to up my game. I bought the King C Gillette DE Safety Razor as a starter (still need the rest of the kit and goodies), but already, I can say that using a safety razor is not only a lot nicer feeling on the skin, but how much more concentration you need throughout is a therapeutic, head-clearing pleasure. I merely just went to clean up my stubble and ended up feeling so relaxed and ready for bed. Lovely!

DE shaved for the first time and best shave ever..the blade glides across! Other than going to the barber best shave ever! And no major leakers! Sorry for the long post and keep posting!
