Just come across this video. What a fantastic collection, it must be worth a fortune! Thnaks for taking the time to show us it and talk us through it. All the best, Dave
+David Evans Thanks Dave--I know that I've spent too much on the hobby lol...but life is short and its a nice hobby, I've met some great people enjoying it as well---all the best----Joe
Wow that was a great video! I have never seen so many nice old razors and shave gear. That is a great collection to be very proud of. You must have been collecting a long time. Take care.
Switched from cartridge to dry to double edge, and I'm never going back. Shaving this way is so much more than just an action, it's an art form. I'm still getting the hang of it, some nicks, and one bad cut, but I will never shave any other way from now on. Thanks for the great video, and the passion!
Great shave den and collection. Although Joe, you have a shaving museum, not a shave den. I loved the tour. Hope to see more. You were gone awhile. We missed you.
Well, let me see...Speick , Tabac and Proraso are my favs, I guess...favorite blades are Astra Green, Feather, and Wilkenson Sword are my go to blades--Vergulde Hand is a great shaving soap. Haven't really tried anything I didn't like yet...except for a protein 21 after shave--had a putrid smell---ended up having to pour it down the drain!
Thank you for this enteraining,informative tour. Very impressive, you speak with a caring fondness of your collection. wish you only the best! please continue with more great videos.
A truly remarkable gathering of the finest products,..nay, a veritable HORDE of things that leaves me reeling ( admiring AND, truth be told, madly jealous ! ). Many thanks to you for sharing your wonderful trove with us ( how paltry my own little set is ! )...
Thanks for taking us on a tour of your shave den sharing your joy of shaving and collecting that many of us wet shavers share. You have a wonderful array of DE razors, especially Gillettes. But I didn't see any straight razors. However I did see that you have the Cobra SE razor that uses Feather Pro blades. I suggest that you get a Feather Artist Club SS straight razor, either their folding or non folding type. Then you can begin a new adventure of learning to enjoy straight shaving. I learned to straight shave after life saving surgery three years ago. My new hobby of both DE and straight shaving has helped me to survive. I used DE razors for 6 months, then I used the Feather AC SS kamisori style razor with Pro blades for 6 months, then for the last 2 years, I've almost exclusively used regular new and vintage straights. The Feather AC SS has a rounded bottom which creates a tiny moving V-notch into which the blade edge glides across the skin. This gives a very close shave and also helps protect against nicks. The Feather AC SS razor is an economical way to start enjoying straight shaving because just like Gillette's old slogan. you get a close comfortable shave with "No Honing, No Stropping". Thanks for your videos, the music, the different scenes and themes. Your videos remind us how wonderful are the simple joys of life. Per your example of using more than one after shave product, I've started to finish my shaves with an alum block, some lime skin food and a splash of bay rum lime. Excellent!! Thanks Joe-
Thanks Ray--glad you're doing better..sounds like you went through a tough time. I do have a couple of shavettes, and a straight edge....but I seem to cut myself up every time I give them a try. Perhaps one of these days I will get the hang of it. I really enjoy the Cobra and the Schick Injectors a lot. Thanks for watching, and hopefully soon, I will get the hang of the straight and do a video!!
Hey Joe, awesome collection, I've just started mine. i've got a Red Tip, a ball tech, an Arosticocrat (that i'm probably going to send to Razor Emporium), and a Fat Boy on the way. Been wondering how to display them, got some good ideas from this video. Video #2, soaps and creams! Thanks, Anthony
Joe your passion for shaving opened up a whole new world for me! I was introduced to your channel when I was you tubing seltzer from Walter Backermann I saw the title "a shave and an egg cream and BAMN! I was hooked!
Great tour ! Official request for tour #2 video. The original display stuff is awesome. Great to see you put something up !I like that magnet for the blades too . Pretty smart !
Do a James Bond shave with injector type L and Coty musk aftershave . Pure 70’s shave. Use the good old Williams mug shave . The cheapest but the best.
Wow, what a collection, thanks for the tour. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Florida Water. Can't wait for part two. How about more on your soaps and creams, pucks, cups, and tubes.
Beautiful collection fine sir!! I too have the razor bug, and already my wife is complaining about the bathroom looking like an old barber shop! :) Thanks for your posts, I have subscribed, and love your videos!! Best Regards!
+Chippy Tucker Thank you Chippy--I was lucky and got an empty bedroom for use as a shave den--but I keep a lot of items in the bathroom much to the wife's dismay--but it sure is a fun hobby!!
Hey Joe, nice video as always, very impressive collection. I thought you stopped making videos there for a while, was starting to get a little sad, but thankfully you're back at it! Keep it up sir.
Dude, You blow me away! How long have you been collecting Shaving collectables! You not only have the best of the old but the best of the new! I personally would love to have the Futura. Maybe after this year is over: two of my 3 son's are getting married and one is graduating from West Virginia University in May so; "extra spending cash" on Dad's Shave gear will have to wait a while. I love your videos, keep em coming. Andy
I don't know Joe but I'm pretty sure the Gillette Silver Blue are the smoothest shave. I just got another box of Feathers and found they are sharper but drag on my skin and cut easy (using the same prep, oil, Arco soap, hot towel found that the Gillette astra are the 2nd best for me of course. Derby's I have found to be an average blade. What's your opinion Joe?
Both are excellent blades--as they say your mileage may vary-also depends on amount of growth as to which blade I would choose--either way--a win-win--thanks for watching!!
Thanks David--Software, blades, brushes coming up next---essential products for the wet shaver in my opinion--preshave oil, a soft brush and also a brush with some backbone for soaps, an adjustable razor such as a fatboy, futur, or progress-- some blades that are very sharp for a heavy beard and some not so sharp for a lighter shave, soaps and creams of choice--after shave lotion and balm--and of course a lot of practice!!
I noticed your Tootsie Roll can, I assume it's your blade bank? Nice idea if it is. Really enjoy your videos. Your videos make me want to go to New York.
I know you have a ton of razors, but I'd definitely like to hear you go more in depth on some of the vintage stuff, maybe a few that you consider to be important historically or that you just like the most. Very nice collection you have there.
Great suggestion John--The 1st part of the shave den video ran a bit too long..so I'll definitely speak about the razors with a history in a future video...wouldn't it be interesting if the razors could talk and tell about their previous owners?
Joe my name is Brian yakov sosa. To be honest I'm a wet shaver,nothing relaxes me more. I hope to get a shave den u u have my brother very nice.. hope to see. Much respect from the bronx
Arent all wet shavers on at least a few forums?--its half the fun of being a wet shaver!--Just to name a few---The Shave Nook,Razor & Brush, The Big Shave, Blade and Banter...as well as a few others.
Wow! I remember asking to see your shave den then I run on to your video. It's pretty incredible, now I see the secret to your youthful appearance! Question: The jar of Pinaud,(to the left of the Barbicide Jar) is that a pre shave? Also: what are your top 5 pre shaves? I've been using oils and they're fine but I'm open to change. You have a huge collection of DE's. I have one, a cheapie but I gave it up due to the fact that it was not shaving me well. I should probably look for a higher quality DE. There must be hundreds of good ones but which do you suggest to stay away from? I enjoyed your video. If you let me in there I could literally play in there for hours like a kid in a marble factory! Take care, stay warm and we'll see you again. ~Guy
Thanks Guy--The Pinaud is an aftershave. My favorite preshaves are my homemade ones, Proraso white, and sometimes Aquaphor by Eucrin, Corn Huskers, and Coral Skin Food by Geo F Trumper. My best suggestion to start your DE razor collection would be a vintage Gillette Fatboy and a Merkur 34C. If you're ever in the Long Island area let me know, I'll give you the grand tour.
Thanks for commenting. Interesting blend of pre shaves. It goes to show how trusted products can pull double duty. I'll look into the DE's you suggested. I could really go for something like that when I'm in a hurry. I haven't been any further east than Decatur Alabama but would love to hang in LI. My buddy is from there.
As THE connessiuer par excellence all all things tonsorial, I hope, Joe, that there might be a book that is dear to you. One that you'd recommend, say.
I'm not much of a reader--I'm currently reading a book about someone I knew for many years--his name is Carl Goldstein and the name of the book is Behind the Curtain--he was a very successful salesman--perhaps I am reading it because he was a friend of mine before his passing. Its a short read but a good one!!
Rodney dangerfield...oh yeah..lol..I see it....wow....also...love all the shaving stuff you have....im looking for any kinds of soaps to try...new old ...doesnt matter....can you spare a couple shave soaps ? Email me at carterwill63@yahoo.com
Here's a link to a new SE razor called the ""Mongoose" which should be on the market soon. I just saw this video today. th-cam.com/video/CVQy8u_aWOs/w-d-xo.html You may be interested because it's like the Cobra but is a 3 piece razor that uses the Feather Pro or Kai Mild type blades. I'm interested because I have a custom Olive wood handle for my EJ89 razor that I could use on this new Mongoose. For a very brief time I tried using a Dovo shavette using half DE blades but didn't like it because it was too light plus the thin blade gave me several nicks. The Feather AC SS razor is truly a professional razor, has more normal weight & the rounded bottom presses the skin down which gives smoothness & helps prevent nicks. The Feather took away nicks and taught me to use a light touch. I enjoyed using it and bought up a life time stash of Pro blades which I might now use in this new Mongoose. I almost bought a Cobra but didn't like the fixed handle. Keep making videos, take us on more tours. Happy trails
Mongoose looks like a nice razor--but I think its too close to the Cobra that I already have, to invest in another similar razor---If I didn't have the Cobra I would seriously consider it--but the Cobra looks so much sexier--think I'll pass on this one---Thanks again Ray!!
best regards friend !! from Argentina Latin America, you have a beautiful enviable collection, I admire in fact the products of such high category you have, unfortunately here in my country anything like that you can get to get, having to resort to the online market and paying fortune for any product, no more I send a warm hug briarwood138
Thanks Ruben--a lot of my collection was by using ebay and amazon---but I guess I'm lucky to have places like Pasteurs close-by. All the best in Argentina---I'll be the envious one when winter hits here, and you're enjoying the nice warm weather!!
Good Afternoon Joe, Question,when does a collection become obsessive when you need a bigger house, Joe.LOL,I love most of your vintage collection but don`t fall into a trap where you collect items just because.I keep to a golden rule` collect only what you will use,its no good keeping a painting locked up in an attic for you to see twice a year.You get more pleasure when you get to use the item than saying you have got the item.This rule will keep you in check when buying old razors and new,As you know millions of razors were made of all different shapes sizes colours material and you will not touch the service on buying anywhere what you would like to own,so get the pleasure out of the ones you really want and can afford,Always buy razors you want to use so that your collection becomes unique to yourself and they are being appreciated in the way they are meant to,some Razors were designed to be used and loved`yep a man thing LOL. The proud engineer that invented certain wet shave razors wanted his or her name carried out to the gentlemen using them.It would be a shame if all collectors just looked at what they had and never used them what a terrible hobby to have,So I hope you are getting the most from your collection Joe and all the best with it.. Best Regards Mr H
briarwood138 That`s good to here.Your Dads one I would place that in its own little glass face case,and place with your best razors because if you drop that one it irreplaceable,as you say he more than likely taken that to with him on his holiday breaks`so knowing what type of man you are by watching y/tube that razor would have a special place in your heart.
Just come across this video. What a fantastic collection, it must be worth a fortune! Thnaks for taking the time to show us it and talk us through it. All the best, Dave

Great shave den and collection. Although Joe, you have a shaving museum, not a shave den. I loved the tour. Hope to see more. You were gone awhile. We missed you.
Thanks Allen--more coming for sure!
Part 2 blades and aftershaves would be cool. What's your favorite? What don't you like etc.
Well, let me see...Speick , Tabac and Proraso are my favs, I guess...favorite blades are Astra Green, Feather, and Wilkenson Sword are my go to blades--Vergulde Hand is a great shaving soap. Haven't really tried anything I didn't like yet...except for a protein 21 after shave--had a putrid smell---ended up having to pour it down the drain!

Thank you Albert---before you know it, you'll be there too!
Awesome video Joe!! loved it..please keep doing them. I learned so much from your vintage collection.
Thanks Rodrigo!! Will do!

If I’m not mistaken-Sean Connery used a Gillette slim adjustable in a movie
Wow, what a collection, thanks for the tour. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Florida Water. Can't wait for part two. How about more on your soaps and creams, pucks, cups, and tubes.

Dude, You blow me away! How long have you been collecting Shaving collectables! You not only have the best of the old but the best of the new! I personally would love to have the Futura.

Thanks Shave the Man!!
Thoroughly enjoyed your video as always. Impressive hardware. Is software next? What products do you consider must haves for the shaver.
Thanks David--Software, blades, brushes coming up next---essential products for the wet shaver in my opinion--preshave oil, a soft brush and also a brush with some backbone for soaps, an adjustable razor such as a fatboy, futur, or progress-- some blades that are very sharp for a heavy beard and some not so sharp for a lighter shave, soaps and creams of choice--after shave lotion and balm--and of course a lot of practice!!
One word Joe - AMAZING!!
Thanks Ben!
Nice collection man. Look like a shave 🪒 museum
Thanks Albert
I noticed your Tootsie Roll can, I assume it's your blade bank? Nice idea if it is. Really enjoy your videos. Your videos make me want to go to New York.
The Tootsie Roll can became my blade bank as soon as I finished the last Tootsie Roll..lol..NY is a must see for sure Ricos..Thanks
Im jealous. I like your videos cause you seem like such a likeable guy. Thanks for sharing.
Aw shucks Billy...thanks...but don't be jealous. This is just me....what you see is what you get....thanks for the compliments and for watching!!
I know you have a ton of razors, but I'd definitely like to hear you go more in depth on some of the vintage stuff, maybe a few that you consider to be important historically or that you just like the most. Very nice collection you have there.
Great suggestion John--The 1st part of the shave den video ran a bit too long..so I'll definitely speak about the razors with a history in a future video...wouldn't it be interesting if the razors could talk and tell about their previous owners?
Lotions and potions for part 2 please..loved it!!
For sure Stephen, thanks!
Joe my name is Brian yakov sosa. To be honest I'm a wet shaver,nothing relaxes me more. I hope to get a shave den u u have my brother very nice.. hope to see. Much respect from the bronx
Thanks so much Brian----much appreciated!!!
Great video. I enjoyed it a lot. Can't wait for part 2
I have a question. Are you part of any shaving forums?
Arent all wet shavers on at least a few forums?--its half the fun of being a wet shaver!--Just to name a few---The Shave Nook,Razor & Brush, The Big Shave, Blade and Banter...as well as a few others.
You can easily make your own museum! I've subed.
+akis had Thanks akis!!
Excellent fun video. Thank you much.
+Keeper Oath Thanks for watching!!
Hey guys, at 2:25 there’s a white bottle of stroke shave balm. Anyone know where I can get that? I’ve only seen it overseas. It’s a great balm!
Wow! I remember asking to see your shave den then I run on to your video. It's pretty incredible, now I see the secret to your youthful appearance!
Question: The jar of Pinaud,(to the left of the Barbicide Jar) is that a pre shave?
Also: what are your top 5 pre shaves? I've been using oils and they're fine but I'm open to change.
You have a huge collection of DE's. I have one, a cheapie but I gave it up due to the fact that it was not shaving me well. I should probably look for a higher quality DE. There must be hundreds of good ones but which do you suggest to stay away from?
I enjoyed your video. If you let me in there I could literally play in there for hours like a kid in a marble factory!
Take care, stay warm and we'll see you again.
~Guy
Thanks Guy--The Pinaud is an aftershave. My favorite preshaves are my homemade ones, Proraso white, and sometimes Aquaphor by Eucrin, Corn Huskers, and Coral Skin Food by Geo F Trumper.
My best suggestion to start your DE razor collection would be a vintage Gillette Fatboy and a Merkur 34C.
If you're ever in the Long Island area let me know, I'll give you the grand tour.
Thanks for commenting. Interesting blend of pre shaves. It goes to show how trusted products can pull double duty. I'll look into the DE's you suggested. I could really go for something like that when I'm in a hurry.
I haven't been any further east than Decatur Alabama but would love to hang in LI. My buddy is from there.
Never mind a "shave den" you have a Shave Warehouse. Great video.
+Kensurfs Thanks Ken!
Joe, loved this video. You are the real deal. I bet we could be friends if I lived in your area. Keep up the good work. What did you do for a living?
Thanks KC--appreciate the kind words!!--I work for the city--I an't rich, but at least I can buy a few razors once in awhile lol!
So awesome!! I love vintage Gillette stuff.
The new stuff doesn't compare---I wish Gillette would tool-up and start making them again!
I do too !!
You coming back to do some SOTD’s soon?
I’m trying to think up some new ideas Mike
You have a lot of stuff nice ! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks again!
You are correct Sir
I’m going to guess and say, that tootsie roll thing is a handmade blade bank! 💈😁👌💈
Not handmade. It came with tootsie rolls inside
Are you still doing vids?
Haven’t seen any new ones?
I am way over-due for another video-been lazy lately-hopefully soon Semper!
FANTASTIC .........!!!!
+Chris Morley Thanks Chris
Whats your opinion on those products?
What is the name of that red brute is that your favorite?
Great products. The red brute is called Dominant. Unfortunately discontinued. Thanks for watching Jacob!!
Hope all is well
All good here-thanks!!
That's a museum.
As THE connessiuer par excellence all all things tonsorial, I hope, Joe, that there might be a book that is dear to you. One that you'd recommend, say.
I'm not much of a reader--I'm currently reading a book about someone I knew for many years--his name is Carl Goldstein and the name of the book is Behind the Curtain--he was a very successful salesman--perhaps I am reading it because he was a friend of mine before his passing. Its a short read but a good one!!
Too many choices every time to want to have a shave and choose which razor you want to use. Plenty of choices!
Awesome
Much appreciated Semper!!
you look like robert deniro....good video,,,,,
+will carter Thanks Will--sometimes I get Rodney Dangerfield also lol
Rodney dangerfield...oh yeah..lol..I see it....wow....also...love all the shaving stuff you have....im looking for any kinds of soaps to try...new old ...doesnt matter....can you spare a couple shave soaps ? Email me at carterwill63@yahoo.com

Thanks growing an Italian beard till then
Lol
Great Den My wife would kill me LMAO
Thanks John-I watch my $$$ fly out the window-but it’s a great hobby!!
Here's a link to a new SE razor called the ""Mongoose" which should be on the market soon. I just saw this video today.
th-cam.com/video/CVQy8u_aWOs/w-d-xo.html
You may be interested because it's like the Cobra but is a 3 piece razor that uses the Feather Pro or Kai Mild type blades. I'm interested because I have a custom Olive wood handle for my EJ89 razor that I could use on this new Mongoose.
For a very brief time I tried using a Dovo shavette using half DE blades but didn't like it because it was too light plus the thin blade gave me several nicks.

Best Regards Mr H
+wow dude Thanks Mr H----thats sound advice--and I can tell--from a wise man
I would guess that I use about 80-90% of my razors in the rotation
briarwood138 That`s good to here.Your Dads one I would place that in its own little glass face case,and place with your best razors because if you drop that one it irreplaceable,as you say he more than likely taken that to with him on his holiday breaks`so knowing what type of man you are by watching y/tube that razor would have a special place in your heart.
+wow dude True--I've been looking for a nice display case for it
Gillette в любом случае Gillette!!!
