Another good shave after the blade change. Made it to that third pass!
@@johnjaeger9148 the third pass was exceptional. There wasn’t much to clean up. Thanks for watching John!
That's a new soap to me. Nice lather..
@@pjwroblewski I think Eric just dropped it last week or so. He does small batches as a hobby. Thanks for watching Patrick!
Smart move using another razor when the first wasn't good enough. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a good one.
@@nonamebear1136 thanks for stoping by and watching. I knew it wasn’t going to be comfortable at all on my neck so I decided to move on.
Good one Matthew👌 Can't say I'm a fan of bozzy scents and tend to avoid them. The Thor was a nice looking razor even though it wasn't real smooth. Hahaha ... extra pass off camera👌🤠👌
@@unclelshaves I think you are the only one that caught the brownie points pass. Hehehehe. Thanks for watching uncleL!
Matthew that one made me laugh! Even though things don’t always go according to plan.. it’s how we deal with it that makes the difference 😉👍🏼 Great video
@@RobertPascale that’s right. I’m use to adapting and overcoming. Thanks for watching Robert!
Nice shave! Yeah Chris got me on the Weck and also the Kismet blades. I haven't tried Diane's blades, but I have tried several others like Personna's and I find them rough. The Kismets are super smooth and sharp and are favorite of any blade I've tried. At some point I hope I can come up with a safety razor to use them and kick some dirt on AC razors-haha! Take care!
@@lastshadow9351 I’m sure you can make one. I would like at the weck med prep razor and go off of that unless you want a threaded top cap and handle.
I understand why you prefer your own edge, but did you happen to shave with the edge it came with? If so how was it? Did it not accept your edge do you think because of inferior metal. I know own Naked armor is not that expensive, but might be around a gold dollar In quality.
@@danielarchibald3247 the edge it came with was tuggy and left a lot of stuble behind. I’m thinking it can be one of two things. Either the thickness of the spine creates a different angle on the edge or the metal is a different material. What’s strange is it does pass the hanging hair test, except for the very tip of the toe. Thanks for watching Daniel!
Great shave Matthew 👍
@@jimmysmith1879 it was a quick save by swapping out that razor! Thanks for watching Jimmy
Great shave. I keep looking at this soap. Is the scent strength close to A Cajun Blades other soap scent strength?
@@carlangstrom3025 yes, it’s a mild scent. For me that’s perfect, I don’t want an overpowering scent. Thanks for watching Carl!
Have that soap on my want list on etsy.
@@shawngagliano4376 you will enjoy it when you get it. Thanks for watching Shawn!
By hook or by crook you get it done!
@@garys_shave Hehehehe. I may pass this one along. If shipping wasn’t crazy I’d send you some stuff. Thanks for watching Gary!
I have Bourbon Cowboy from Eric’s products. It is a very slick soap, which is just right for a SR. I enjoy it. I can pick the boozy and leather. I am pretty darn sure that Eric has the scent notes on his Etsy site.
@@Wittar7090 I looked on the site but didn’t see anything listed. It could be that I’m not super familiar with Etsy’s site. Thanks for watching Witt!
@@lawrence1md Bourbon Cowboy is a TCB2 beef tallow base shave soap. Scent notes include aged bourbon, saddle leather, with spicey cedar wood and bitter citrus. The “Bourbon Cowboy” experience is curling up by the fire with your favorite cowgirl while enjoying a fine aged bourbon. This is no dupe, it’s an original seductive medium fragrance shave soap.
@ I’ll have to figure that out. When I clicked on the items details it didn’t have anything there.
@@lawrence1md When I look now, it states that the item is unavailable. That may be why. I use My Shave Den app and have learned to copy things like scent profiles because I know that it may disappear.
Hahaha…clever. You and are both top notch. Ken recently ran down his top 3 DE razors. What are yours? Thanks.
@@donaldlyons7143 I may have to do a video on that topic. Thanks for watching Donald!
@ ….get’r done son…lol
Excellent shave, Matthew.
@@danielhannon5319 I was hoping for a nice shave with the Thor but something told me ahead of time that I’d better have a backup plan. Thanks for watching Daniel!
@lawrence1md I understand it's always good to have a backup plan, no problem.
Hi Matthew. Thanks for being honest. It's 'always' good to have a backup razor 🙂 nice lather on Eric's soap. Have a good one
@@borbelyhaz321 his soap is very slick too, makes straight razor shaving even better. Thanks for watching borbely!
That was a fun shave ! Perhaps it was the bourbon in the soap..... @Eric_TheCajunBlade how much bourbon did you put in that thing ? All joking aside, you were right to switch razors, no reason to shave uncomfortably just to make a point. You still finished with a nice shave, no cuts or weepers. That's a win.
@@saguarosmart4100 I did get the giggles : ) thanks for watching!
Great looking lather on that Cajun Blade soap! Really have not heard great things about the Naked Armor straights. Best regards, Glenn
@@theluxuryshavinghobbyist you are right I haven’t heard too many good things about them either. The strange part is it is hair popping sharp except for the very tip on the toe. So it’s a little mind boggling how that can be. I’m guessing the type of steel or the angle created by the thick spine throws it off. Thanks for watching Glenn!
That's a beautiful looking razor. 0:51 Thumbnail
@@jefferymiller30 I wasn’t sure if I should thumbnail the razor or the soap. Thanks for watching Jeff!
Well, sometimes you just have to bail! It's the wise thing do! The hair does get coarser as you age and I do go through blades faster than I used to. I'll have to send you a Weck with a Kismet blade sometime for you to try out. I'll have to see if I have one that's in working order, because I've taken most of the apart. I do have a custom Weck that I made into a kamisori if you wanted to try something like that or a custom AC kamisori? You did answer a question I've wondered about with the way that razor's shaped. Yep, the ergos are not good with all that fancy stuff and a hard fit for a lot of people's hands. Hope you're having a great week!
@@lastshadow9351 if I am remembering correctly I do have a weck hair shaper and a Annie’s razor. I can break one out for a video if you want. I can’t remember if I did videos with them in the past or not. Thanks for watching Ian!
@@lawrence1md Oh, I didn't know you had one! You can if you want, I just thought maybe you hadn't tried one.

To me bourbon cowboy almost smells like cherries haha I get that type of note in there but I’m not sure if that’s the case
@@seanstapelfeld I do like the sweetness in it. Thanks for watching Sean!
Sometimes I feel like I am shaving a wild boars ass 😂. I always go in with a backup razor. Man when you get older your hair gets coarse. Thanks for featuring Bourbon Cowboy and I am glad you like it. It's become one of my favorites. And you are spot on, you picked up the hint of sweet leather. You must be one hell of a deer tracker with that nose.
@@Eric_TheCajunBlade at one time I was a excellent split tail hunter but those days are long gone. Hehehehe. Thanks for sending me your soap. I appreciate it. Be on the lookout for a surprise box. Thanks for watching Eric!
That blade looks...interesting! Definitely not classic looking. I need to check out those soaps out. Good call on the razor swap!
@@carlitos_shaves I’m thinking about sending it to a buddy so he can try his edge and do a video with it. Thanks for watching Carlitos!
We all have off days. I feel you on going past your normal routine and not getting the same feel of a shave. Have a great week
@@mikeperritte the good thing is I can revisit this razor or put a different edge on it to give it another go. Thanks for watching Mike!
Beautiful razor. Is it more aggressive than Ares?
@@constructorway it is a beautiful razor. I can remember which one was more aggressive. Both razors were sent to me on a pass around so I didn’t have a lot of time with them. Thanks for watching!
You’re right about wanting to try all these different razors and soaps. I’m currently in that situation and it’s fun. However, I do need to sell some razors that I don’t use enough to make room for new ones. Have a a good one. : )

Good stuff! Appreciate your perspective!
@@johnjaeger9148 I’m tempted to pick up a couple more a&e soaps as this is my last one. Thanks for watching John!
Watched Kensurfs a lot when I started Traditional Wet 10+ years ago, yes he's been around that long. Loved the Kensurf magic Den swap😜 I started with Omega Pro brush and 34c, I still use them, safe and readily available combo locally, I used Proraso soap and similar when I started up. Totally agree on a simple approach to starting up in the hobby/wet shaving and shaver should decide whether they want to be just a DE shaver or a hobbyist early on and not go overboard at the start, don't make our mistakes😜 Have a great day👌😎👌
@@unclelshaves I do enjoy watching Ken’s videos. For a long time all I needed was my omega boar brush and my Semouge brush. That was about the time I started to slide. Thanks for watching uncleL!

Matthew I got my king c Gillette blades from Amazon they are made in china but they are great blades
@@jackkeller737 ok I will have to check them out. Most likely they changed from the production at the Russia factory
Great shave! First, A&E makes great splashes with skin food and I’ve moved away from buying soaps to just splashes (I mean I can only go thru so many). Leaves your skin feeling great. Next, I agree with you on some of your suggestions for newbies. I found two razors early on that I just love, the Rockwell 6C and the Merkur progress. I could’ve and should’ve stopped there, I shave with those more than any other razor I have, but I do love my Yates Merica and my PAA double open comb I got later. The rabbit hole you can and most people do go down can be brutal and you do need self-control to just say no.
@@azbababooey for me when I see skin food it makes me precautious because my skin seems to get irritated with too much skin food. Thanks for watching!
Matthew, have you ever tried the King C Gillette blades in the white tuck? They have become my favorite blade, maybe one day you can do a review.
@@jackkeller737 I haven’t seen the kcg in the whit pack. I may have to find some. Thanks for watching Jack!
Great video
@@shawngagliano4376 thank you! It was a nice shave
Great Shave, watching Ken is how I started onto Wet Shaving. Nicely done. There are so many hobbies within this hobby, no shortage of things to collect. The only thing now welcome in the hobby is restraint 😂
@@Eric_TheCajunBlade restraint is hard to do. I’m looking for a razor right now. Hehehe. I still watch Ken’s videos. Thanks for watching Eric!
Awesome shave matt you should check out more A&E products and their splash is one if the best splashes around. Plus they have like 3 different soap bases and a very good cream.
@@dj_JaRule the other soap I had of theirs was the barbershop one. If I get any it would be the cherry pie one and the tobacco scented on. Which ones do you recommend? Thanks for watching Dj!
Oh wow so many. Lavender Noir, tobacco cashere, tobacco road, brooklyn, 60s cologne (based on brute), woods and spices just to name a few
@ those will definitely be something for me to look at.
Great shave Matthew. I will have to give that soap a try. Love the video effect. Since I got my Timeless Ti .68 and paired it with a Personna comfort blade 6 months ago I have not changed razors. For me it is a perfect match up. I just need to curb my soap and aftershave addiction. Have a great week. 👍
@@williammurphy1756 It’s a great feeling to find the perfect razor and blade combo. Thanks for watching William!
I have that exact same version of A&E’s Spartacus but mine totally smells like regular soap. Nothing close to Aventus & I’ve only used it twice. Shame! ☹️
@@brennanapostolo7870 that is a shame. This one smells nice, on the medium side of scent strength. Thanks for watching!
Man, did not know you could "teleport" from the STARSHIP/Shave Den Enterprise! The A&E Splashes are very good (lots of skin food and scent strength also! Have a great Sunday Matt!
@@carlitos_shaves watch out I might shave in your den next. Speaking about your den, if you see anyone letting go of an ace of spades (white or black scales) let me know. Thanks for watching carlitos!
@lawrence1md 😂. I'll keep an eye!
Creed the OG
@@Anthony-zw1qb it’s a nice scent for sure. Thats probably why some many artistsans make doupes. Thanks for watching Anthony!
🎶Clap on! Clap off! The Clapper!🎶 Nice Clap moves to transport, Matthew!
@@jeffdenker145 I was thinking wizard of oz but didn’t want to video my high heels. There’s no place like home… Hehehehe. Thanks for watching Jeff!
@lawrence1md 😂😂😂
Ok I laughed my a$$ off! Awesome stuff. I have A&E Lavender noir arriving tomorrow and can’t wait! Have a great week ahead!
@@klav5930 I have thought about getting the cherry pie one from a&e but I have so much stuff. Thanks for watching!
Yeah I hear ya! I took over the top shelf of our closet! Lol But I’m seriously thinking of carrying 2 or 3 of my favorite soaps and just getting the aftershaves
@ I have this idea in my head that I could be happy with only 5 soap sets.
I recall when I first started wet shaving in the late 1990’s. There was only 1 soap that I had readily available and used it exclusively for well over a decade. I can say the same about the razor I used, the DE89. Since the last 10 years I have accumulated more soaps/splashes than I realistically would be able use up. I can shorten that time frame even further to the last 1-2 years. Razors, brushes, you name it, they fall in the same category. However, as you stated, it is FUN and I am enjoying the hell out of it!😅
@@Wittar7090 what was your readily available soap in the 90’s? I completely understand about actually being able to use it all. Thanks for watching!
@ I lived overseas in the late 90’s. When I started, I lived in India. The only soap that I could find in the towns I lived in was Geo. F. Trumper in the wooden bowl. Limes was my scent of choice. When, I moved back to the US, which was about 7 years later, I stuck with that brand because it gave me a good lather and scent. It was not until after 2010 that I started finding other soap suppliers. I might have been able to find others before then but as I said, I like the GFT Limes soap.
@@Wittar7090 nice!
I feel right at home when I watch your videos Matthew! I have no idea what creed smells like I might need to go to the local perfume place and give it a smell. Seemed like a really good shave my friend I hope your Sunday was a good one! Cheers
@@seanstapelfeld I was going to shave with a straight but then thought maybe I would wait for Wednesday. A last minute change of mind. I’m glad you feel my videos are welcoming. Thanks for watching Sean!
@@lawrence1md I'll be waiting for that straight razor shave video, I always watch everything you post but I have to say I have been enjoying the straight razor shaves hehe
@ I completely understand. For me the straight razor shaves give a longer lasting close shave. I think I’m using a Cajun soap and the Thor razor.
I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Aventus is the most duped scent out there. You spoke some real words of wisdom. What stopped me from purchasing was retirement.
@@pjwroblewski I’m sure there are many nice things about retirement. I’m still a little ways away from it but it’s approaching. Thanks for watching Patrick!
Thank you very much🙏🙏
@@kensurfs what a nice combination of shave goods. Thanks for stopping by and watching Ken!
I almost couldn't tell that was a video trick! Ken was someone I watched a little after I got going, but not long after. He's been around a long time and I still catch some of his vids. I actually did follow the advice that you gave here and for a long time, using Arco/Proraso with Fine Superlite and later the Icon X. I did try a couple of samples from the early beginning PAA, but I didn't get into artisan soaps. If you get into wet shaving eventually "the chase" will come for you-hahaha! "I'm having good shaves, but could this be even better?" GOTCHA! You do have to be vigilant with an iron will not to fall down the rabbit holes and even then you'll occasionally slip and the next thing you're need deep in one. Hahahaha! Sage advice, but eventually you'll hear the siren's song. Have a great one Matthew!
@@lastshadow9351 I think it gets the best of us. I have reduced my den, even gave a bunch of stuff away. Next thing you know my cabinet is full again. I’m like what the heck. Hehehhehe. Thanks for watching Ian!
Nice tribute to Ken 😅 good shave 🪒😊
@@tomsmith522 I figured he might get a little laugh out of it. It is a nice shave combo. Thanks for watching Tom!
Great shave! I do enjoy watching Ken's videos. Great guy.
@@saguarosmart4100 I’m not sure if I mentioned in the video but I still watch his videos. Thanks for watching!
Clever video. I'm sure Kensurfs will feel honored by the recognition. I think Ken's was the second channel I came across. The first one was by Brian from Executive Shaving in the UK. Unfortunately, that company is no longer in business.
@@BartBuzz I think Ken will smile. I have seen several TH-camrs come and go. Thanks for watching Bart!
