BloozeDaddy damn straight lol..

I hear ya.....

BloozeDaddy kinda like Groening’s little ‘Life in Hell’ comic ‘don’t drink and drill’...

And don't use it when undergoing chemo therapy; cuts won't heal.

Facts.

Dude, welcome to wet shaving, and that's exactly what i was shooting for... You are smart to do exactly that.... Right on man

Dude, i agree... and there are so many blade choices i have never tried them all, no waaaay

Sinistral ArcVI thank you I've always thought so it seems to work well with for me

No problems at all I'm glad to help...Astras are great but everyone's different, sample packs can help a lot

PurushaDesa that's how it works for me, different blades different razors for different situations I mean you can get away with probably one razor and one blade and get a decent shave every single time but if you want to do certain things in certain situations well that's where the real fun begins and you can buy all kinds of stuff LOL

It takes a while to find that set of Goldilocks shave gesr...

Josh Smith thank you so much!!!

sharks.. really... as he was talking i was just thinking to a pack of sharks i have i think i like less than derby... wouldn't cut the cock off a snow man

Roy Williamson it really is about technique isn't it? i used to think having more than one razor wasn't necessary but it kind of really is, once you, like you said, map your face and master technique

Rod George thank you sir I'm trying to make them better as I go LOL

Love these things!!!!

Tom Diletti i agree that's why I'm like hey get as many as you can

Armani Code I've not tried those yet

Armani Code I'll have to pick me up some

I do try new blades as that is the hobbyist in me. But i have a few go to's that i use...pol silver for example, but i have a few that i have been meaning to try just to see

Stephen Graham i haven't had much luck with the clone of that one, maybe because its a clone? I really like the gillette slim now

The feather blades are tough, you either love them or you don't like them at all. I found that people who don't like the feather blades because they're too aggressive seem to like the Astra ones quite a bit. Astra has a couple different models of their blades that you can try. I found those blades tend to pair well with most razors. As far as the lathering is concerned if you're looking to cut down on a little bit of time I would suggest using a shaving cream versus a soap and buy cream I don't mean the garbage that comes in the can. I mean either the stuff that comes in a tube or even some artisans make a cream base shave soap. I think on some of the shaving supply sites you can filter it down to just creams and there is quite a bit to offer. I know that Taylor of old Bond Street has a really good formula for this because you can pretty much just dip the brush into the bowl throw a little water on it and you can face lather in about a minute and a half

@@CDShavinMurphy great advice! Thanks for taking the time to reply. I’ll definitely give Astra blades and a good quality cream a try.

I've recently tried the Rapiras again, although I can't recall which type it was rather impressed

Yeah they are nice... i use them on my head

Rainbow blades are nice too ... dont last long but smooth

Try a Nacet from Gillette or a Wilkinson Sword Saloon Pack.

The thing with feather blades is typically although not always but typically the first shaved with them is not always the greatest comfort wise because they kind of have this break in. It's not a bad shape by any means but you find that your subsequent shaves are much better. That said I get a serious amount of shaves out of one blade from them before I call it quits. I said Astra is a fantastic way to start with I can't say enough about that company

Yeah sample packs are nice

Have you tried feathers?

Thank you

+warnher safety razors? Or the razor blades? I have the razor blades I have yet to try them LOL but I am actually heard that from more than one person you're really good blades and they have a lot of respect

CD Shavin' Murphy yes sorry the blades.

CD Shavin' Murphy my bad they are Wilkinson blades lol I highly recommend a alum block for nicks because I love mine

+warnher gotcha... I love all the different blades

Black Wilkinson Sword Classic is my daily shaver , it's not attractive but is very efficient with any double edge blade in my opinion

Thanks!

Russell Barton thank you!

I would suggest anything from PAA, A&E, The Club, Catie's Bubbles, Through The Fire Fine Craft, Murphy and McNeil, First Line Shave. Stirling is good but these are all a bit better.

@@CDShavinMurphy just placed my first order and grabbed a (Lancaster Leather) from Catie's bubbles. I saw your review on them and figured I would give it a shot. Thanks again!

I would use a more mild blade to start with...i use feathers

Yeah I tend to stick to only three uses for a blade except for the feathers, those things I get a ton of shaves out of and they're all good shaves with the exception of the first two

Your mileage may vary!

Agreed, that's why i have different blades for different situations

African Twin derbys don't do much for me, they are great for learning but i feel for a tough course beard they won't do... feathers i swear by

I am not sure on that one as i have never used it. I will say it seems to have a huge following and people have a lot to say good about it

Thank you sir

I only used the matte one so im not too sure. My guess would be that it depends on your definition of durable. It's been my experience that razors that are matte or stainless steel with that dull finish, seem to not show fine scratches as much as say a polished chrome one might. Beyond that in terms of metal corrosion of sorts, I don't believe i can speak to that as I have not used the Chome plated one you speak of

@@CDShavinMurphy Exactly my assumptions and thoughts... Your input is much appreciated... I just bought one in the matte chrome finish. Trying to convince myself of buying a second in a different finish and have been curious about durability between the two. Ive been thinking about buying one in polished chrome.....One for my head with feather blades, and one for my face with Astra blades.....Different finishes to identify which one to grab when needed. Thanks again!

I have heard from several sources….that the King C. Gillette blade ….is just a Gillette Platinum blade (Russian made) that has been rebranded with the KCG logo. I concur with that as I have used both branded blades…and they seemed the same to me. If you liked the King C. Gillette blade (or G. Platinum)…..try a Gillette Nacet blade (Russian made). The G. platinum was very good…but not quite as sharp and smooth as the Nacet.

WARPHEAD not every blade is for every beard that's for sure :-) it's a good thing there's so many out there right? Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming trying to find the right blade in what seems like an endless supply of companies and models if you will. My suggestion to you would be if the feather is seemed to be a little harsh then you might try something like an Astra SP or maybe even a voskhod? These seem to be quite popular and people have really good luck with them. I used to use Astro SPS when I first started wet shaving. As my technique improved I found I needed something sharper and the feathers are my go-to.

Try Gillette Nacet or Wilkinson Sword Saloon Pack blades.

Thank you

Ahhhhhh good choice my friend!!!!!

That is very true however I've noticed that barbers will not purchase a bad blade per se but they will purchase an inefficient blade on the side of caution. They tend to choose mild to really mild blades, I found the few times I've gone for a legit shave and they use something like a shavette the blades tend to be really dull and never get it nice and smooth

I would say you are correct!

Hugh Neek I'm sorry this took me so long to reply I think I missed a bunch of comments somehow but I've actually never heard of those blades but it's always good to have different levels of blades in your shaved and as far as I'm concerned

Parents are, im from NH

Ok. You have the accent though

You know I've never actually used a muhl blade LOL

I have and they're not great. Certainly not worth what they charge for them

Scalpelo 92 love feather blades

Milad Ne what razor are you putting the blade into?

+CD Shavin' Murphy well, I use the single one (the barber shop type). I use it every week for neck hair and had no problems with it for years, except for Derby's, awfull rash that I cannot explain. maybe its the formula made for "depop".

Derby does nothing for me either

Thank you and you have a favorite blade choice?

CD Shavin' Murphy right now I rotate between Nacet/Crystal/Dorco Prime Platinum.

The razorock? It isn't something i use a lot of anymore. I like the yaqi heads, but that razor is awesome in that it has a lot of forgiveness...i feel it's a good teacher of slants. You can throw an aggressive blade in it and have an aggressive shave. Or tone it down a bit with a lesser aggressive blade but still get the slicing type of shave a slant bar gives

CD Shavin' Murphy I already have been using the Adjustable safety razor . I got my Gillette blades in today after watching your KZfaq video I haven’t tried them yet Your opinion what is your Choice on a safety razor for shaving your head

@@Rogerwayne96 for me, i enjoy the muhle r41 it's a razor that gets the job done, especially with the right blade

Because I was a beginner and I could Adjust the aggressive level

CD Shavin' Murphy I can find that Yaqi razor

Joe Landis so many brushes because i wanted to try different ones, badger, boar. Synthetic, i purchased a bunch and just kind of hung onto them. Some i like the handle, others perform better than some. Etc

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. Which one do you like the best?

Joe Landis synthetic the boss not or the full moon not

Just part of the hobby using all the different blades to some people but i do like having different blades for the different razors i have

Lol thank you for watching!

Robbie McGill mission accomplished then:)

Potato, potahto

CD Shavin' Murphy exactly. Keep up the good work!

@@ricker76er will do sir!

Reeaz Ali well this is a wet shaving Channel and yes I enjoy shaving now that it is not a painful chore. So yes I guess I would say that I like to shave

dusty rhodes you get a boar brush or maybe a nice synthetic for around 10-20 bucks. (Omega for boars) and they perfome great... So... Not really expensive..

Get a RazoRock plissoft brush. Enough said. I hope your words make a good meal.

Yeah these things are extremely dull for me they don't do a damn thing
