yep there is always a way to save money. I tend to buy sterling soaps these days because not only do u get 5.8 oz for a fair price the soaps are hard and you don't waste soap like with softer offering.So that is my take on budget soap without sacrifice

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 sterling soaps sales coffee i use dove soaps thanks for your reply huggggs wheechair larry

Thank you T-Rex I though I should show my face ... cause I still get questions on DEShaveTalkwithKit ... Hang in there and happy shaves Kit

Wow thank you for the kind complement on my Brush video's Kit I stopped shaving videos several years ago now but I am just getting a new review channel started GoAskKit TH-cam

Thank you ~! Kit

Yes when I still used synthetic Brushes the Mew Brown Knot had the characteristics I preferred. I only use two 24 mm Boar brush knots exclusively now when shaving ~!

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 thanks i have an omega 10098 it’s a big knot but i think makes slightly denser lather compared to synthetic , I need to keep using it

Maybe I keep using my omega instead of buying another Yaqi

Thanks for your comment but I am die hard on my boar brushes..... but that doesn't mean they are for everybody. I think we all have our favorites and when I was still doing my channel vids I would often say for me or my opinion. My opinion evolved as I learned what I like over time and testing different products just as yours has I am sure. Kit

boars are a pain and the hairs fall out save your money Merry Christms ho ho larry@@deshavetalkwithkit8935

sorry I stopped making videos long ago now and I did because I said all I had to say back then . Kit

I like a good two band because the silvertips lay over too much for my liking...... But I only use two great boar brushes since I quit making videos. Kit

Thank you , Kit

Hi Mert, Nice to see your message ...I am not doing my channel these days. Got hard with the Leukemia and all but I keep my chin up and doing fine and I hope you and those you care about are fine as well~! Kit

Silver tip 24mm However I use only boar brushes these days ..... Kit

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 thanks 🙏

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 Yaqi has a 24mm boar brush , my skin is sensitive, it may be suitable after breaking in

@@fr-cj5bt Okay one of my only two shaving brushes is the Yaqi Boar 24 mm that is black by the knot and clear color at the base of the handle. NOTE not all the Yaqi boar brushes as as good as that one. I followed my own 36 hour breakin video procedure and it is now my best shaving brush ~! I can not say what it will do for you but I find a good boar is less irritating than a two band with the sharp hair points. Boars as they break in split the hair ends ....makes them amazing . Boars hold heat better than synthetics and they don't hold the lather in such a way that they will give it up on your face. This is NOT the case Silver tips and two bands. Boars lather soaps better Period. So a good broke in Boar is my forever shaving brush now. I can only tell u what works BEST for me . Happy Shaving Kit

My go to Razor to this day is still the same it is the "Razorock GAME CHANGER (.84) Model....... RAZOROCK IS THE BRAND GAME CHANGER .84 is the actual name .... Find it at Italianbarber.com I do use Voshod blades exclusively now ... Kit PS I did change my handle in the Game Changer Razor with a Yaqi colored razor handle ... I like the balance weight and grip with the Yaqi colored handles.

The minimum I have used is 36 hours and the number I saw online from others on the time frame was 3 days. I don't think it is that critical really but I does seem to help the Boar hair split which is the goal . Kit

Steve I only use two very good boar hair brushes now and yes natural hair brushes can smell pretty bad at first depending on your personal nose tolerance ~! I can tell you personally I think boars brushes are far superior to any other type and for me the break in is very much worth your time on a brush that can potentially last decades . Hope once you get more into wet shaving you will see things a bit differently. I know I will never go back to cartridge shaving and cheap shave foam in a can ~! Happy shaving Kit

Glad to help my fellow DE shavers ~! That was my motive when I was making video's. Moved on to riding my motorcycle now LOL

Doing just fine thank you friend ...Spending my time in Organic gardening and motorcycle riding now days... but I still look a good DE shave ~!

Funny with the flipside the open comb side is less aggressive .... both sides shave smoothly and well but the closed comb side will get your shave closer.

I only use ONE razor these days period though. I use my Razor Rock Game Changer .84 exclusively now .

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 thank you very much for your fast response! I was looking for the razorock gamechanger too, but over here it is a bit pricy, don t know why?!? For example, my razorock MJ-90 ist over here 38.90 which is close U.S. price plus our 19% Tax, but the gamechanger is really a gamechanger also in price over here, instead of 54,99 U.S. price and so round 65-70 over here, it is sadly shocking 115 over here! That s why I have to wait a bit more 😉 But I am glad that you like yours! Have a great day and thank you very much for your friendly answers! Best wishes Christian P. S. Will you do some TH-cam videos again or still trouble with TH-cam Upload and so no more time and "just" Roding the motorbike and gardening?!

@@ChristiansWetShavingWorld I am done making videos. Lots of time went into them and I ran out of things to contribute . Take care , Kit

Thank you, Kit

Comments like yours make me feel the two years I put into making videos actually had a positive impact ~! I love DE shaving and I really think it will come back to it's former glory days ~! Kit

Hot women too

Sorry but I don't have any experience with a Trafalgar t3 brush?

It has been a while now since I tried the bali butterfly but I do remember thinking the BD 176 to be superior in alignment.

IMHO Bali is about a non aggressive 3 and the Melon for me was a 1 ~! I absolutely could not get a shave with a Melon head ~! I invented the Beast head that uses the Yaqi Melon top cap with another Yaqi base plate which turned out quite aggressive as in an 8-9 aggressive ~! Kit

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 I know about your mix of Melon and cobbed, Melon and DLC scalloped. And of course I know about your "Beast". WOW... I have several Yaqi razors. Thank you for the explanation!!!! YOU did a great job! I have seen almost all your videos!!! I have a Baili 176, I want a little aggressive razor! I don't have Melon and cobbed with Yaqi. Should I buy Melon? Sorry for my English, I'm from Ukraine..

@@Bogdan-ci3pw Hi friend in Ukraine~! If you want more aggressive than the Bali than go with the cobbed head and If you want less aggressive then the Bali go with the Melon Yaqi head. Like I say some people like the Melon head but with my beard it would hardly shave my face. Yet still you might like it because some people swear by the Melon head. Kit

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 Hi my friend. I've been using dlc scalloped black for 3 years. I had two scalloped heads, black and chrome. Chrome seemed to me a little more aggressive, although they are the same (r89 copies)..!? Thanks to you I understood the aggression of Yaqi heads and bought a cobbed head. the cobbed head is 5g heavier than scalloped. Together with the black brass handle, you get a very pleasant shave! there is no need to press on the razor at all. I like Cobbed more than scalloped! So I like aggression - 5. I used Gillette platinum blades. What blades can you recommend? We don't have persona Israel! Do you still like voskhod blades? These blades are the cheapest we have. Can they go cobbed or scalloped?

@@Bogdan-ci3pw I have one razor and one blade I use these days ~! My blade is still the Voskhod I just got my last 100 blade for under 9 US dollars from Amazon.com. I have now gone back to my all time favorite Razor the Razor Rock Game Changer .84 . I was using the Yaqi Adjustable Razor for a while but it is really my second choice. By staying with a very consistent blade and razor and shaving every 3-4 days I keep my irritation to a minimum ~~! When I was still making videos for the channel I was sooooo over shaving for my skin~! Kit

that would mean to me that Gillette contracted with Bali and not the other way around !

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 Gillette should make a profit 😎💫👍😀

Hey T-Rex I am doing pretty well considering 21 years with stage 4 leukemia ..... Hope life is treating you well ~! Kit

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 Wow Kit that is awesome! Stay healthy and I always returning to watch your videos to get info.

The melon head never worked for me either ~! Kit

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 top cap it's nice to combine with other razors

@@alexmitros4959 Yes I know ~! Did you know I was the one that named and ask Yaqi to market the Beast Head ? So yes I know what you can do with the melon top cap ~! Kit

Yep that is one of the best ones for sure ~! Kit

I suppose you could substituted what ever cleaning products you have on hand. I just mentioned what I did that worked for me and they are cleaning products I buy anyway. Kit

Yeah it is cheap enough to try to see what you think~!

Wow what a kind message ....LOL I am into Container gardening so you got a chuckle out of that one -! Take care , Kit

It's great to find your "BEST" shaving gear , right? Kit

Hey Mel the ratio's on the borax and Arm and Hammer laundry Soap are about One third cup borax in a and 2/3 cup of laundry soap but the ratio's are NOT that critical here. Secondly the video was intended to be applied to a brand new brush right out of the box so you DON"T need to take a year to break them in through normal use. I don't like the smell of boar brushes and my break in gets rid of the smell in 36 hours. Now if you have a boar you have been using for a year the break in I use will NOT damage your brush but the question is how much at that point do you need to use my method? I would say this if the brush does not smell and if it has broken or split hairs and it splays well than you do NOT Need more break in but if not do the break in anyway it surely won't hurt the brush to do the break in ~!

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 Thank you for your response. Have seen a number of videos re: breaking boar brushes in, but yours is the most thorough, makes the most sense - and effort. I'm looking forward to the process and thank you for breaking down the process further for me. I have a number of shave brushes including pure badger, badger/boar combo, synthetic, but only one pure boar. The old warrior I obtained as a kid in college. I'm retired now and it's my favorite brush albeit a good amount of it is sentimental. Thought I would give the old boy a little break and have the heavy lifting done by a couple of newbies - an Omega Pro 48 and a Zenith Scrubby Chubby. The latter has a pretty stiff spine, but I like it- a lot! Again, thank you for that great video, your time and effort with the additional information!

Thanks Beto I was quite dedicated to my channel for about two years.... and now that I have retired I am still happy to see my video's are still benefiting new DE Shavers. Kit

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 Thank you very much for your reply, Kit. Take care and good luck for you.
