Great job ! I just stumbled on your vid. I boycotted Gillette several years ago for these BULLSHIT rip-off razors. Now I see the light thanks to you and will be getting a double edge razor soon. Whats the best quality Parker or Merkur ?

Terrific instructional video. I use a beautiful 1962 Gillette Super Speed. I was born that year, so I though it would be nice to replace my first shaver with a vintage Gillette. I've never needed to shave as close as you do and a second pass is as far as I go. Sometimes just one pass. Anyone could learn to shave properly using only this video.

Ive heard that safety razors are much more gentle with your skin (if you dont use pressure, never use pressure with safety razors), what you could do is use some sort of skin treatment after you've used After Shave (depends which one is the thinnest, use what is thinner first), since i havent started shaving yet and since im still pretty young i was thinking about buying myself something to help prevent acne and razor burn.

Man I agree with that! Geo my Friend, nobody does these like you do. I'm thoroughly enjoying my Edwin Jagger DE89 I got from you. I can't believe how this thing shaves. Everything they say is true. That lather you mixed-up looks fantastic! Voice-over was a good call for this type of instructional video. Thanks for doing this Parker Video.

I really enjoy watching your videos, I've been learning alot and I find them very helpful. I won't ask what safety razor blades I should purchase as I know those are personal preference, but I was wondering what safety razor would you recommend? I saw your review on that straight razor with the replaceable blades. Would that be a good model to pick up? As I've been interested in straight razors minus the care and prep as I don't feel confidant in my abilities to strop etc.

Whether i'ts Cut throats or DE's, you've always got em covered and right on the spot. It'll be hilarious if Sir David Attenborough voiced the commentary and treated it like a wildlife episode.
