Ciao non mettere il velo di acqua calda sopra al Proraso non ne ha bisogno bagna solo un po il pennello e vai direttamente a lavorarlo,altrimenti il disco di sapone con la troppa acqua diventa piccolo e si stacca dal vasetto..dopo tienilo 1 giorno a asciugare aperto 😉👍🇮🇹

Congratulations

Did you like the cream? Did you find that the razor fills with the cream and doesn't rinse out well?

Irritation/redness was due to soap/cream. One way to discern if it's the blade or the soap is to check for areas where the skin is visibly reddish/irritated, like the area between the eye socket and sideburns where soap still makes some contact while blade doesn't make any.

Great review Heiko!! Alles gute aus old good Germany 🇩🇪. Was machst du beruflich in den USA…… etwas handwerkliches vielleicht???

I have found that holding the alum block on a (small) cut for 30sec will usually stop the blood. 🪒

Great review Heiko. Have a wonderful week. 👍😀

top review👍have a nice day

Ditto Buddy 😂

That I did not know. Thought it was like my Rex Ambassador/Konsul. Will watch more closely next time. Have seen one other Avanti vid, you have nothing to worry about Heiko.

P.s. to my last. There is at least one other vid review (have not seen). With respect to the numbers, set it before loading the blade. You never know.

Looks like a good product, a few potential tweaks to come notwithstanding. The stainless is always welcome. With respect to the Rockwell T2. My stainless version shaves on all settings, and it appears to be relatively blade insensitive - though I tend to use the sharper blades. Nice vid, always interested in your reviews. Thanks and cheers

Awesome Shave Heiko !!!!!

I am guessing, the alum you used under your nose made the lather coating for the following pass collapse and appear thin.

Nice Shave Heiko! The Razor looks good and well designed but I wouldn't trust it at all because I've never used this kind of style razors and from what it seems is that whenever you go on a higher sharpness level the less there is pressure on the Blade to keep it in place because I didn't see a spring mechanism like with the Yaqi TFC tho I may actually go and end up with the Yaqi that you reccomended me which was the Yaqi Adjustable Slope with the smaller head

I think I will wait for their new slant adjustable..The Torqz The Avanti head is too bulbous.

Despite having a gazillion adjustable razors, and not being all that interested in the Merkur Progress, I have to say that the Avanti has piqued my interest. Much will depend on the price point, and if they sort out the minor issues you raise.

It’s a prototype razor

It's going to be $165 and they're working on making it + with a blade in 😬💚

6:53: Hi Heiko, Jörg von Glatt-Rasiert hat in seinen Videos mehrmals erwähnt, dass er einen guten Kontakt zum Inhaber von Merkur hat (Herr Ulrich Wiethoff). Vielleicht kannst Du Deine Kritik ja über die Vermittlung von Jörg einmal direkt an Merkur richten. Ich wäre gespannt, wie Herr Wiethoff reagiert. Aus den Ausführungen von Jörg würde ich annehmen, dass er ein sehr offener und zugänglicher Zeitgenosse ist. Mach weiter so, liebe Grüße aus Germany!

Looks like a nice mild progress esk razor. Shame the # ‘s don’t line up. Sounds like it has great audible feedback!

Outstanding vid Heiko, Just what the doctor ordered, thank you and your colleague.

Good job Heiko, esp after a week. The Leaf razors are great and never an issue. Agree, with a stainless or Ti version. 😊 Alum block is the mineral without being refined into Aluminum. After over half a century of use, no toxic impact - thus far. Will have a look at the disassembly vid, as my leaf razors may need a service at some stage - they do get the full cleaning treatment after each use, but deeper maintenance knowledge, and how things are put together is always a good thing. Keep them coming, cheers for now.

Great video, I love seeing side by side comparisons. And great shave on both sides too.

Nice comparison Heiko, you take care💈

I recently fell for all the hype about this shaver and having a sensitive under chin looked forward to my first shave with it. Thecfirst surprise, the nice flat surface of the razor that was to allow it to feel its way to the best shave angle, was so small it didnt do that. From there on, it was all down hill. Thecshave was no better than a fifty cent razor, under my chin was so sore, Tgere was no way I could dream of using ut a secind time. In a nutshell. Bloody waste of money, clever sales patter . But no help atall with the shave. And I did all tbe special preparation as the exprrts do. Fking useless. Currently waiting and hoping the company I bought it from, will refund my money to purchase the crap. Ive returned to my cheap adjustable model, that also pains me under the chin. But cheaper.

Great shave comparison. I would never have guessed the Twig would have performed so well compared with the R41 on that amount of beard growth. And thank you for the German word of the day, which I enjoy.

Have you tried using a Synthetic Brush by any chance and what's your opinion on them? I've got one From DS cosmetics and I've never had any issues with the brush stinking

very nice comparison Heiko👍Have a great weekend

Hey Heiko! Nice shave. Imo you don't need to use aggressive razors at all unless you shave once a month and have no trimmer. Thanks a lot for german word, I'll wait for another one! Have a great week.

Great review Heiko. I gave my Twig razor away because I just could not get use to the different shave angle. Have a great week. 👍🚁

Great video!! How do you compare the Leaf Twig to the Leaf Thorn?

Nice Shave! Heiko. Also you not going to lie but when you said "Let's crank it to up to a '3'" I got nervous cause that's the setting where I always end up with Nicks and cuts on my Yaqi FTC😅😅

long time no see, everything's fine my man?

Wie Gehts Heiko....Nice to have you back - hope the deck build went well. Love my Twig and it's as comfortable to use as you say, yet very efficient. Got a Mühle R-41 but afraid to use it too often. 😃

When i'm going over the corner of my mouth, like you're doing at 21:17 i kinda push out the corner using the tip of my tongue.

Mentioned it in a comment of a previous video. Glysolid is really a good product. Manufactured in Darmstadt, distributor obviously sits in Munich (at least for DE). Price in US seams to be quite high. 9,34 $ for two tins. Here in DE you can get it for about 1,75 € per 100 ml tin. 21:18 remaining stubbles are so annoying. :-)

Man the leaf twig looks like such an awesome razor, I like the way it loads and the way the blade is helped by the magnet that just screams quality in my opinion!

All my favourite knots are synthetic, and I find they perform better than my natural hair brushes (I have badger, boar and horse hair). I find my best badger and boar knots are great for face-lathering from a hard puck, but for most purposes, synthetics are excellent.

Freut mich dich wieder zu sehen. Habe den R41 und den R38. Den R41 benutze ich wenn ich viel Zeit und Ruhe habe. Wenn es schnell gehen soll dann ist entweder der R38 oder der Rockwell 6S an der Reihe. Danke und schöne Grüße 🖖

So what pistol were you target practicing with?

Good to see 👀 you, i like proraso green too a wonderful shave today 🪒💈

Alum block is NOT aluminium... It's potassium alum. It's a kind of salt basically. So there will never be aluminium in your blood stream. As far as I know, there is no heath issue using it. I use alum block for my armpits too. Helps eliminating the bacteria thus eliminatiıng the odor.

14:18 I too found an inch long hair on my neck just below where I normally shave and it was strange. No idea how long it's been there but I hope nobody had seen it.

Nice review

TOBS irritates my skin, so I can’t use it, unfortunately.

Really like your interview style. Great insight into each razor.

looks like a good razor but a nightmare to clean and maintain😅😅

You're installing the blade wrong.

@Heiko-shaves If you had to compare the Yaqi's TFC between Yaqi's Stainless Steel Adjustable versions and the Rockwell T2 which would you say is has the closest Blade exposure and Curve between the two?, also nice shave!
