i find it interesting that this video is 3 years old and the man is still answering and replying to questions and comments.. much respect from germany

lmao what a lad, reminds me of saul goodman

You look and kind of talk like a 50s TV personality. You should do a black and white video...

My Dad is really sick and has been suffering from hair loss for years. Very thankful that internet man could give an explanation about how to use my three-headed hydra of a christmas present.

Most Dad thing ever. Respect to Dads and Fathers.

I actually came here for an electric razor review but after watching you I think I'm gonna order one of these vintage style safety razors instead. Thank you, good sir.

Just a tip, with rotary shavers you should use slow circular motions.

Im young and dumb and my father is not so father-like and hasn't really taught me how to shave but you good sir, you have single handedly have me the information i needed but wasnt given and for that i appreciate you

Really enjoyed this man’s personality. Kudos to you, sir!

You voice is a cross between Mike Rowe and Walter White!

To have a fair comparison, you'd have to use the electric properly - in a circular motion. I use my Philips wet - takes a while but no friction against the grain at all after a few passes. It's nice to see people still using the old safety razors. Cheers!

Great personality, great voice, great video!

After many years of shaving my experience has been that my Norelco provides a closer shave if you take an equal amount of time to shave with both systems. A very light back and forth motion works best. The key is that if you are in a hurry the electric will give a pretty good shave in a much shorter amount of time. But you can't beat a blade for that "Clean Face" feeling!

Netflix! Give this man a show!!!!!

i just enjoy watching him shaving and telling a story lol ..

These videos are so simple and well-articulated. Timeless and always helpful for young guys from all across the world. Thank you so much man. Much love all the way from India.

My electric razor gives me smooth skin with no stubble after two or three passes. I've also never sharpened it or replaced any parts and I've been using it since I started shaving over ten years ago. My complaints would be 1) the mess it makes 2) number of passes required, especially when the beard has gotten beyond stubble 3) the noise it makes, waking up everyone else 4) losing power sucks. But it requires no support, no sharpening, no replacements, no preparation, no additional products, and you can do it practically asleep without cutting yourself. It struggles a little around the adam's apple but I can't possibly imagine how anything could be more convenient.

Came for a quick comparison, stayed for the conversation

Agreed, when I used a Norelco it took a lot more passes in all different directions and a lot more soreness and redness until I felt satisfied that I had caught everything, and then I didn't feel like shaving again for several days. For the most part my safety razor feels way better and way faster, and my face recovers quickly enough to be ready to shave again the next day. However, there was one electric razor I did like, that was made by Panasonic and was a wet/dry model so you could actually use it on your wet face which made it easier. But who knows when I'll be able to afford one of those again, or if I'll even bother by then, when double edge blades are so cheap.

Thank you for sharing this video here,was very helpful!

Such a cheerful guy. Watching him makes me feel happier lol More power to you, man👌

I don’t have a dad to teach me how to shave and I clicked on this video to learn how to use an electric razor and just played it in the background while I shaved... it went pretty well haha

I like Barbasol as well. The stuff came out way back in 1919 and was created with the express purpose of giving people an alternative to brush and lather. I have also tried Taylor of Old Bond Street with a brush but to be honest I can't tell a great difference. The main thing I can tell a big difference in is old fashioned DE razors vs cartridge razors. They just provide a much more comfortable shave, and the blades are way cheaper!

This is the most dad dad I’ve ever seen I love it

Omg, it's Nicolas cage

I just picked up my first safety razor today and im about to go give it a try... oddly excited for it. the last time I was excited for shaving was before I had to lol

I love my Braun 8595 shaver. I also love wet shaving. And the fact is that I've been combining them for more than 20 years! I do the first pass with the electric shaver and the second one with the razor. That way I minimize skin irritation. I'm not saying it'll work for everyone; just for me.

Wow. Thank you!! I found this video very interesting. I’m a teenager about to shave for the first time and this video really helped!

Videos are so entertaining, it's just a guy shaving I know but I enjoy them :) love to see more!

I sometimes use an electric razor. If I may suggest something that might help you, I would suggest a 1 day growth on the beard, and when shaving go in circles so you're sure to get a lot of stubble out. Also, make sure your face is well hydrated because if its too dry then it might suck the moisture out in a hurry leaving your face dry like the Sahara. :) i love your video by the way

Thank you for making this video!

Very informative. Many thanks from South Africa!

Kind of a silly comparison. The Norelco/Philips shaver is an Aquatec model, designed for both dry and lather shaving...and it's going to perform best when using a lather. ALL dry shavers are more speed and convenience than super closeness. Lather up BOTH sides and give them another test. Those results may surprise you!

Great vid!

Thank you SinatraLennon very cool!

I use the Nerlco for my pubic area because I like to keep that area shaven but not completely gone. This helps to avoid ingrown hairs and that awkward uncomfortable regrowth period where it itches as the hairs grow back. This isn't the product for you if you're looking for that smooth freshly wax feel or completely hairless look, but if you prefer to keep it neat and very lowly trimmed then this works great and it's quick.

You have to go over the same area a couple of times when you use a electric shaver. If you take some time you will get a clean shave with an electric shaver too

i was strangely comfortable watching this

Good ol faithful. 60 years still going strong. Love the videos man.

The big thing that people may get on you for barbasol for and even as a beginner to this I can tell from trying gel, shaving foam(cream or whatever you want to call barbasol) and shaving soap is that shaving soaps and creams from a tube will give you a better lubrication and glides on the razor and the barbasol has sulfates in it which can be bad for your skin and the hair underneath. It's not a problem to really use it, but the other stuff does work better.

I'm a 16 year old male teen and I have to shave a lot because my school has a strict shave policy so I always use my money on foam and basic razors and its really cost me a lot of money. So for my birthday I got a Phillips 1000 eletric shaver and honestly the benefits of this is amazing I don't have to waste money on foam etc. And also it gives me a really close shave when done right so I really prefer the electric shaver

2019 is about to end. Heard you still reply to the comments. Please show do the needful.

Never heard of a safety razor until I stumbled upon your videos and now just ordered one on eBay for $19 with a walnut handle and am ordering a bunch of feather blades for it also ! Thanks for the info so cool

Man I could listen to you all day.. Very entertaining shaving vid.

"In the instructions it recommends shaving your face for several days so that your skin gets used to it." This is why I can't switch - I don't have several days to spend shaving.

Suprisingly i stayed till the video ended haha. Thank you for sharing sir, great video! You should do more topics on how to be a man kinda video, if you could share so much on shaving i wonder what else you would share on other stuff, i would stay and learn :D

Thank you for your videos! I am a 14 yo who just started shaving and i am super into this! your videos are fascinating and i am learning things my father didn't tell me. I am currently using a Gillette ProGlide but after seeing a couple of your videos i might get a DE razor.

one of the best youtube channels. I'm 20 years old and looking to go into safety razor shaving and I'm so glad i found this !

I used a Norelco until 2 weeks ago. I already knew before I watched the entire vid that the DE would win. To be fair to Norelco, I had the thing (cheapest corded model) for years and never changed the blade. Philips says you should get a new set yearly but these cost almost as much as the razor. The Norelco never got my neck cleanly and I'd use a disposable razor and Barbasol every once in a while to clean it up.

Talks to hisself ... humorous ... you are a wonderfully strange and funny man, bro. So tell me, did you have imaginary friends as a kid? Mine was named "Chomby" and that was in the late 50's - long before Pee Wee Harman ripped me off. So I've been shaving with a Gillette Trac II since graduating HS in the mid 70's. I haven't had a safety razor in 50 years. Approaching 70, I'm tired of shaving and often go for days without until the wife complains. The Trac II gets so backed up it I have to clean it with the WaterPik. So I ordered a Norelco 3500 and a Weishi safety razor a couple days ago to knock down the forest before cleaning it up with the Trac II. YT must troll my Amazon account because I'm getting lots of video recommendations for shavers. Glad it recommended your video. Your user name suggests you're a musician too so I'm off to see if you have any music oriented vids. Thanks for the grins and your recs for my chin. Best! Jack

Your personality was really fun to watch😊🖒🖒

This was a really helpful video thanks for making it

A wet razor will always give a better shave because the blade is directly on the skin, whereas electric razors have their cutting blade behind a protective shield

FF to 2:47 for relevant content :)

Sold off all my safety razors about 2 years ago now. Purchased a few straight razors and a hanging strop and haven’t looked back. Straights are really the Rolls Royce of shaving instruments. Now that I’m retired, I can take my time and enjoy the shave.

I use a safety razor too, love it. I start with a hot towel, soap up with a badger brush. Finish off with with an Alum block.

this guy when he speaks seems like Tom Hanks from Cast Away. Great video though!

"What mystery lyes within? Ah HA! Still a mystery...anyways" lol

Thank you!

Dude, omg THANK YOU!! I was thinking of buying that Philips AT890, but now you convinced me not to waste 150 bucks on it! Old-fashioned way wins!!!

Your voice reminds me of Walter White from Breaking Bad and Mike Row from Dirty Jobs lol

The Norelcos with the HQ8 heads perform much better than the old standard heads, like the shaver used in this video. I don't doubt that a safety razor will outperform an electric -- even with the newer heads. That said, I'm not switching anytime soon. Electrics are very portable, do not require water or soap, decent ones will still shave "good enough," and are far less expensive than safety razors or cartridge razors over time. I tend to get 7-10 years on Norelco rotary shavers, give them a good disassembly and thorough brushing every 3-4 years, blow them out daily, and have never found the need to replace the heads until long after the battery becomes useless or the motor dies, at which point I buy another electric. My first Norelco was a Christmas gift, which lasted me about 9 years before the motor died. My second Norelco lasted about 7 years, and still worked when my GF bought me a new Norelco for Christmas. That one lasted me 11 years, at which point it was lasting maybe 2-3 days on a charge. I bought my most recent Norelco about 5 years ago, for about $60. It's still doing its job. Over the past 30 years, I have had 4 electrics, and paid for 2 of them, a total of less than $100. Add up the prices of the other two, and I estimate perhaps less than $300 spent on shaving, including electricity. Amortized over 30 years, that's less than $10 per year, soup to nuts. After all that, I am still immensely curious about wet shaving. I may try it out at some point, just to see what it's like. Just don't hold your breath, it may still be a while. At a minimum, I probably still have at least 2-3 years left on my current shaver.

It's nice to shave with an electric - to cut down the stubble some - makes shaving with a DE or straight edge a lot nicer in my opinion

I think you might just be the most chill guy on the internet.

I'm really surprised that I enjoyed watching a man shaving. hmm.

saul does this in his free time😭

awesome vid man!

Awesome video friend. The reason is cos Razor takes of the top layer skin where as electric doesn't.

Often wondered what it would look like if Jonathan Ross and Nicholas Cage accidentally got stuck in that machine from the film 'The Fly' now I know. Great bid btw

The convenience of electric shavers. They don’t even require you to be in the bathroom to use them!

Possibly the most entertaining shaving video ive seen thank u earned a sub my friend

very informative. Thank you.

Almost 600k views 0.0 Da*n son!!! Nice work.

This guy is my second dad ;-)

I think that with that type of razor it is most appropriate to make circular motions in order to get a better shave.

Never seen like this safe manual shaver, you just amazed me

Electric shavers are good in an emergency situation... Just don't drive and shave..

This guy answers the phone and says "yellow!?" #dadjokes

I came to this video because I got a girlfriend a few months ago. She definitely notices the tiny little hairs on my face that's left over from my electric shaver lol. I've always never noticed them, but when we are intimate, she definitely sees them lol. So now, I'm ordering a safety razor, blades, and some cream off Amazon! I'm excited hehe thanks for the videos!

Thanks so much from the UK - my partner has never had an electric razor before, I'll deffo invest in one for Xmas since seeing this. Will save him a lot of time!

I recommend safety razor.

...i was searching razer as in the mouse brand

I like the comparison you made, thank you, saved me some money avoiding me to purchase the electric razor for my boyfriend :-)

Thank you for the tips.

I grew up in a house of women and while I’ve seen electric razors, I do not comprehend how they work. I have a Master of Science degree and I *do not comprehend how this basic shit works.* I stare at my husbands and all I see is that it vibrates and hair gets all up in the nice, clean sink XD Edit: Finally found a video (Shavershop AU’s Choosing an Electric Razor) that explains it perfectly.

wrong manner of use with the rotary shaver..circular motion

This man has such strong chaotic good energy

How those work is by inserting into the middle causing a blade to spin around the areas and cut the hairs. You can sort of cut yourself with electric depending on your skin but it is more sores from irritation / dry skin.

Fatboy wins!

Why do people use the safety razors to shave? Why doesn't everybody use the electric one?

Thank you for the nice information

When they say to use it a few times for face to get used to it they are referring to the fact that you shave in the opposite direction as you would with a manual razor. It simply suggests to use it a few times to allow skin to adjust to the new pattern in shaving

You must always shave against the grain with a electric shaver. And this guy doesn't do this. So it's no wonder that the result became so poor. I can tell you that a Norelco/Philips series 9000 shaver or a Braun series 7 or series 9 shaver is more smooth than a DE shaver. Except for the neck area. Believe me on that.

he seems like a pretty cool guy! also unintentionally funny! lol

Just used the Braun 3040 foil razor and shaves pretty damn close. I am impressed. I am not going to say better than wet shaving but for me it is the only option as said here before little nicks are hazardous for me and after last one I had to have an operation, yes really, so wet shaving is no longer an option for me if I hope to stay out of hospital and you can do a lot worse than the Braun. I know this may fall on deaf ears but I am saying it anyway. I never realised how dangerous wet shaving could be for some people. I took it for granted as I am sure many do but became very serious for me so if anyone is in the same situation as me then this is an option for you.

2 of his videos poped up in my recommend do il give up and watch this

I enjoy your personality.

Gud work man thanks for showing your experience with those two product

I actually bought a double edge razor after seeing your videos. hope to continue in future.
