How did you ever manage to get that aftershave and edt through customs?! Can you teach a few European shaving vendors how to do it for me?! I'd like the Homelike myself since that .90 blade gap is almost a setting 5 on the Progress. Check this review: www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/homelikeshaving-ctapt-razor.574826/post-10434188

Thank you once again Alex for being such a kind hearted individual. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀

I’d love to try a Home Like also it sounds so amazing. I love Stirling Products and use nothing else

they do take paypal as i purchased the start full razor kit today

😀👏

Thanks 😀👍

👏👍😀

Ha ha! Good luck 😀👍

Thanks Rob. I like that Stirling has lots of different scents to choose from. The performance on their stuff is solid. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

Cheers Terry. 😀👍

Thanks Manny. This razor is one smooth operator! 😀👍

​@@kevyshaves4109 Your description of the smoothness of the .90 mm plate is pretty amazing as that's nearly a setting 5 on a Merkur Progress (.94 mm gap)! Good review of it on B&B here: www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/homelikeshaving-ctapt-razor.574826/post-10434188

Good to hear Paul. Enjoy it mate. Kevy 👍

Thanks Mark. I've heard great things about the One Blade Genesis. Let me know what you think of it. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

What a great comment! I agree with what you say but there's just something about the Rockwell 6S that I prefer. But the Start razor is so smooth. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

Good review of it on B&B here. Have you ever tried the Karve that they mention in this thread?: www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/homelikeshaving-ctapt-razor.574826/post-10434188

It's the smoothest razor I've ever used John. Kevy 😀

I have the same super knurled handle on my RR SLOC

Good one! I can't even remember the last time I received a birthday gift!

😂😂

I'll send you something. Let me know when it is 👍

It is Feb. 16

Thank you. I will update it soon. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

Ha ha! You'll have to order something else to open on Christmas morning! 😂😀👍

Alex has a very kind soul. It is a nice idea for the blade gaps. I hope you,don't go turning the house upside down trying to find your gifts! 😂Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

Brilliant Julio. The "real" Fleetwood Mac 😂😀👍

@@kevyshaves4109 Aye, before Buckingham/Nicks ruined them for good.

I will do that for you Lee 😂👍

Cheers. I love Greeny's playing. Kevy 👍😀

Ha ha! If the Timeless is working well for you Graydog, there's no need for another razor...or...is there...?😂

Nice one getting a Gillette Heritage. I'm sure Shaving Station here in the UK had some .68 Gamechangers in stock recently. Kevy 😀👍

Try shave station I think

Sadly Shaving Station only have the .84. As a newbie I think the .68 would be a better milder option for me.

@@kevyshaves4109 The Homelike is the kind of razor Gillette should have issued.

I think my gear will outlive me too, unless I live to be 480! 😂

@@kevyshaves4109 I hear you. I am afraid to accurately count my razor blade totals. I keep buying when I already have more than I will ever use. Can we say addiction?

I think addiction might be the right word to use Todd 😬

Hello Ma'am. Zorrick is not among the best. Its an Indian blade and not even that much respected in India too. It can last one or hardly two shaves with extremely aggressive razors.

That's OK, Kevy's English isn't that good either, 😂. The joys of our Scottish accents 👍🏻

Hey Vadim. I'm not sure why there's no subtitles. Cheers. Kevy 👍

😂

Викторович, приветствую! Если в общих чертах, Кевину странок очень нравится, говорит "мягкий-мягкий, мягче Роквелла". Зачёт!

Cheers mate. If you want aggressive, the R41 might be the one for you. This is just as efficient but much much smoother. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

I must admit the R41 is aggressive dare I say more so than mercur futur by the sounds of this it really is a top razor I think it’ll set u back €150 and about €50 for R41

@@raymonddean2835 That .90 mm blade gap on this one is nearly a setting 5 on the Merkur Progress. If it's as smooth as Kevy says (and I need setting 5 on the Progress much of the time for the 1st pass), I'd go for this one. Read this thread and the review here: www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/homelikeshaving-ctapt-razor.574826/post-10434188

Good stuff Adrian. Sounds like you're on the way to bankruptcy already...just like the rest of us! Lol 😂 Some great things you've got there. Enjoy it all. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀

The 0.9 0late could easily be used as a daily driver, it's that smooth. That would be the one I would get if I could only have one plate. Kevy 👍

I am looking forward to Christmas. I think I'll ask Father Christmas to shave his beard off! 😂😀👍

@@kevyshaves4109 😂😂😂😂 what Tahoe would you recommend he uses? R41

Yes, for smoothness and efficiency, the Start razor beats the others hands down for me. Kevy 👍

But see my colloquy with Steven Lim below. I would reserve judgment as to the mild end of the spectrum, where the Tatara Masamune would be compared to the mild START base plate.

Hi Sean. Thanks mate. I'll pass on your kind wishes. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀

It's along the same lines as the Tatara for performance but it's much smoother feeling. Kevy 👍

Thanks. Interesting.

Nice one Martyn. I appreciate you getting it back to me quickly. I'm enjoying using it. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

But asmr in your video was more cracking Martyn😝

Yes, even smoother. Kevy 👍

Kevy didn't shave with the 0.63 mm Masamune but with the 0.90mm (Masamune) Nodachi. (The names are confusing.) To do a full spectrum Tatara/START comparison, he'd have to acquire and pit a Masamune against his 0.69mm START, their mildest plate. I wouldn't assume the outcome. I've been shaving exclusively with the Masamune for 3 months now and get BBS every time. I've very nearly eliminated nicks. I know because I'm on a blood thinner that turns every false move into a patch of crimson. My Masamune shaves are much like Kevy's (and Cris's from Another Cut Above) with the Nodachi, except that as a daily shaver it's more like mowing a putting green. I've been telling friends, family, and fellow wet shavers that to get a closer shave I'd have to wax my face or use Nair; I can't see throwing in a START 0.69mm as a third possible upgrade. The Masamune boasts a negative 0.13mm blade exposure, which is what I believe does the most to eliminate nicks. (The rest is from the razor's lock-tight construction, which includes a handle that screws into the base plate. The START doesn't have this feature. Nor does the Nodachi: some Masamune customers demanded handle interchangeability from Tatara, so they dropped the feature.) Now if the START 0.63mm has a blade exposure in the Masamune's range, it could be a worthy rival to the Masamune. But maybe not otherwise. Don't worry about the Russians, however. If the START proved to be worse than the Masamune, they could just tweet my president that the 0.69mm plates were made in Ukraine. The rumor would circle the globe faster than you can say "Tatara Masamune Nodachi." :-)

As an owner of a Masamune, and yes, I am in blood thinners too, I do get where you are coming from. I am actually using my Masamune with the Nodachi Top cap (addendum, edited due to brain fart ) to bring the blade exposure back to a true neutral exposure geometry. So, as they say, YMMV, as with all things shaving. It is at the moment, the smoothest Razor I own. Love it. And yeah, I forgot that Kevy used the Nodachi.

I have the Masamune base plate which I bought to use on the Nodachi and it is fantastic. The 0.69 plate on the Start is very very mild. For me, it's almost too smooth to get a close shave with my wiry stubble. Cheers. Kevy 👍

@@kevyshaves4109 Hey Kevy! I was thinking of doing similar, Pairing the Nodachi base plate along with the Masamune Top cap for a very slightly negative blade exposure (neg 0.07mm if memory serves me right) along with that 0.96mm gap. It is always interesting to see how a razor plays out. 😁 But yes, the Nodachi Top cap and Masamune base plate pairing is fanfrackingtastic!

I've never tried ThenStirling Spice. The best one I've tried so far is Phoenix & Beau Night Witch. It gets very close to the original Schulton Old Spice scent. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

@@kevyshaves4109 I have Stirling Spice, it's a lovely scent and have Night Witch on the way.

@@kieranrenouf603 Nice. Let me know how they compare. Kevy 👍

I had a sample of it and it’s very close if not a little bit better in my opinion *(Stirling Spice)*

I would say it's as good as all those those razors Jill, but to me, it feels smoother than them all. Cheers. Kevy 👍

Thanks Joy. Nothing like the R41. 100 times smoother. Kevy 😀👍

Superb! 😀👍

That looks great. 😀👍

😂

I prefer the 6S because of its rugged feel but I would say the Start is smoother than it. Bring back the banana 🍌😂😂

It was a limited edition. It was from Shavemac. I think you can buy one from them. Kevy 👍

@@kevyshaves4109 THANKS KEVY HOW WAS THE SHAVE WITH THE START RAZOR LOOKING AT BUYING IT

Errr...you could be right! 😂

Check the wavelength that Virtual Kevy is on by watching his videos with the closed captioning on! It's a completely different radio band!

Shave- a-thon 🤣😂😅😆🤙🏼

Everyday is Christmas when you're a traditional wet shaver. Treat yourself 😀

😉👏

It lasts around a couple of hours on me, not great. Executive shaving Nevis aftershave is the same scent and lasts a lot longer in my opinion. Cheers. Kevy 🙂

It was a limited edition made for the Gentleman's Groom Room shop in Dundee. There were only 50 made, and it was put together by Shavemac brushes in Germany. I think they still sell this as one of their regular brushes. Kevy 👍

@@kevyshaves4109 like to get that brush think i am going to get that start full razor kit

Cheers Mike. This is the one I was talking about...www.amazon.com/Before-Beginning-1968-1970-Sessions-Remastered/dp/B07N711JRG/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=Fleetwood+Mac&qid=1576181514&sr=8-6

@@kevyshaves4109 sorry, yeah I seen that after I bothered you! Thank you!!

No problem. You didn't bother me at all. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

shave-a-thon your back :o

They're both great but for me thenStart gives me a little bit of a smoother shave. Kevy 👍

Very good video Kevy I would love to pull the trigger on this razor but a little leary about ordering the product from Russia but should this razor make it to a vendor in North America I’ll jump right on.

Yes. I can't find any machinery in it. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

Please elaborate, what makes it terrible? I would very much like to hear why you think it's bad. Am thinking of getting it so a more detailed explanation would give a better idea of what makes a razor bad / good. Sometimes it's engineering, if so what about the razor makes it bad. Sometimes it's because of a combination of razor and blade, ... Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

1301st lol 😂

Tony Tony 🤣🤙🏼

Sorry man but their soap base is weak compared to their competitors and the scents don’t last. I will say their liquid body wash is on point. But their shave soaps, not so much.
