Rare for us in England to be warm ,let alone hot 😅. That's such a lovely gentle smile on Trevors blade , the only good stainless razors I know ....and 20k edge is hard to beat on any steel . You always achieve a great lather , no matter what soap, and I agree synthetics are brilliant 🎉 great shave Gary 😊.

Great video Gary! I wonder how different is a 20k suehiro edge against a high grit pasted strop? Thanks my friend

Hi Gary. Nice shave. Glad you posted a new video. Have a good evening

Thanks for the review Gary, and I am stoked you liked it. I got nervous when Martin told me he posted it to you. I really appreciate your kind words.

Great shave! New subscriber here! Cajun blade pointed me your way!

Great shave Gary glad to see you post another video and especially one where you tried Eric’s amazing soap!

I thought you'd like it Gary, especially as you've sensitive skin , I find it totally non irritating, and great post shave feel . You confirmed my opinion on Eric's abilities as an alchemist of Cajun soap 😊. It takes a real expert in shaving to make a great soap . The Cajun blade is on utube , fabulous channel 😀

A job well done. Always nice to see someone who knows what they're doing.

It was nice to see you put out a video again. They are nice to watch. Thank you for sharing.

When we start learning dilution methods we think, “One day this won’t be hit or miss anymore” but it never happens…😂

Your welcome Gary , great video, your a good bloke very kind and knowledgeable, enjoy the razor and strop mate 😊

Great shave Gary! I will have to try shaving with a flat angle, I think I use way too much and I’m also very heavy handed… these videos help out a ton my friend. Cheers

Great shave as always, you only missed the head!

nice shave Gary, gorgeous strop. Kropp rings nicely on the strop, wonderful technique

😢its so sad Geoff has given up straight razor shaving 😢....I hope he comes back to our clan one day and doesn't regret his decision. Your expertise has driven me onwards , sensei 😊. Excellent shave ❤

Hi Gary 👋 im very late ! But watching now , as ive been in Marrakech Morroco... You're instruction video's are the best 👌 your the professional barber 👏 .

Nice teaching vid. Love the Swede and the natural scales. 👍 I had a couple of small Herold ‘RI’ hanging strops that I mounted to balsa. I really liked the feel of them & noticed they make a loom strop from the same leather cut. Maybe one day I’ll get one.

Hi Gary, do you think Naniwas are suitable stones for this method? You know Naniwas that need flattening. They change shape quickly. I just got the plate from a friend, but I'm not sure which stones to start with :)

Good show Gary. Love your vids. Keep on. Cheers mate.

Awesome shave, I think you should do head shaves aswell mate. You really rocks the bald head. Just go down to the skin.

Hi Gary. Nice shave. Super smooth razor that and I really like your loom strop. Nice gear for sure. Cheers, Mick.

Hi Gary, have you ever tried the naniwa hayabusa 4k or fuji 8k? If so, what do you think of them? I already ordered the 4k, although it has not arrived yet but I have read in some forums that these stones have the problem that they deform when they dry, do you know anything about this? Thank you

Hey Gary! Great commentary and tips. Hope you have a good upcoming week, cheers

Hi Gary. Great tips. Glad you posted a new video.

I have full older stone that is mid range and a slurry stone that is lower range, so mine are only good for removing steel quickly. They work well with the hindostan stone that I have for setting the bevel. One day I hope that I can get one that will work as a finishing stone. Thank you for sharing.

Yuri really puts some silky smooth edges on his razors.

Hello gary the reason why the razor is tight when closing and not tight when opened is quite simple really, the pins were tightened with the razor closed and the variation in thickness of the inside of the scales causes it go from tight to lose. I don’t think its anything wrong with the scales, i think there’s something wrong with the pin. It must be bent thus why the razor doesn’t close center. Send it to me i’ll fix it for you if you want you just pay shipping.

Hey, have you ever shaved your head with a razor? It looks great, but a smooth head is better. You should upload head shaves too, greetings.

old spice is a classic for sure, both soaps performed excellent. the older soaps are richer in tallow, hence creamier. best wishes Gary

Hi Gary. Nice comparison video. Nice shave

Great video Gary! Love the comparison between the soaps. That's a great razor and an awesome honing on it. Now you have me looking up at suehiro kousekis haha Cheers have a good tuesday

I remember buying my dad old spice for Christmas when i was a boy. He was a wet shaver for 70 years . Old school is usually better on most things . Glad you're using quality brushes , i tried a parker badger brush last shave , I'd have been grateful for your old spice to kill the wet dog smell 😅. My test now is whats the post shave feel ? ½hour is my test , if no irritation, and smooth its a good soap. You've a good nose Gary! ( ive a cold 🤧) Your Filly is a masterpiece on 10k kouseki edge , what a great shave test 👌.

Hello. Where can you buy one like yours? thank you.

Great shave Gary, I love that TI where did you get it?

Great video Gary! Glad to hear you rested your skin and had a really nice shave! Cheers!

I shave daily if I can but it can’t be good for most people in the long run… Great video!

Hi Gary. Nice one. I can't shave against the grain every day either. Sorry to hear the MdC soaps irritate your skin. Have a good rest of your week.

Yes it's a nice stick leaves no after irritation I might actually mould it into a little bowl then again it would be a shave stick 😂 those Palmolive sticks were really nice

Shave sticks are so quick and easy to use , but some smelly ones can be harsh , chemical irritation? ....scent goes with time . 7days stubble for you must be a bit of a record Gary. Beautiful lather, and stubble generated ! 😅. (Crox experiment sounds good idea 👍 as that blade was doing such a great job . 👏. ) I've only one little ⅝ Ti ....your the expert on them . Great shave 👌, ps your right about shaving too much , so easy to misconstrue the reading from a shave .

si tuvieras una sola piedra cuál te quedarías para refrescar el filo de la navaja?

I love that razor blank form. Best of France production in my opinion. Congrats on the acquisition. When I see just the right one on this side of the ‘little creek’, I will be opening the wallet.

Hi Gary, what a beautiful Thiers, where did you buy it? How hard is C135 steel, is it the same or harder than Swedish steel?

Hi Gary. Nice shave.

Wow Gary! That is a piece of art of a razor!

Thanks for another interesting Video Gary, I’ll try the pyramid method, I have a lovely 6/8 TI, I am just getting better at honing, 12k Naniwa is just too sharp, so I bought a lovely Charnley forrest stone last week on eBay, very hard, it came to me reasonably flat, but after 30 minutes on my diamond plate it’s dead flat. I have not honed on it yet. What are your thoughts on a Charnley forrest as a finisher Gary?

Very nice razor that Gary. Looked to be super keen and smooth. Great vid.

I’ve been trying to find a way to calm down the post-shave sensation as well. It seems one can hone a razor a little too well…😂 Despite my shortcomings with Coticules they do seem to offer a way to limit the risk over exfoliation. Great video!

Great shave Gary and a lovely razor, I have not got much experience with shaving brushes, I have a few Boar bristle brushes, I guess I need a Yurri synthetic brush to try. Get well soon.

That's so interesting, pyramid method! I saw Devan alternating between 5k and 8k only yesterday , I wondered why ? ....I should try it ? Nice big razor ! ( I keep experimenting , but really, I still prefer the larger blades ) lovely to hear the Freddie in the background 😊....Great shave 👌 😀.

lovely razor and shave Gary. best time of day for a proper shave, even the birds are appreciative. perfect way to start any day! best wishes mate!
