Really cool stores! I also saw a Davidoff Cigar store. I used to be way into cigars and went to the trade shows here in the US when I worked in a local cigar store. Fond memories.
Cheers, Kev! Good shave today. It's been many years since I've been to London. Actually, just as long since visiting Edinburgh also. I used to visit the UK often in the mid-late eighties, as a touring guitar tech. Your photos brought back fond memories of my youth. I look forward to the next shave with great eagerness. Many thanx...
***** I saw one of your videos where your brother got you a Blues Harp.Were you considering jamming a bit after a shave? Are you primarily a blues musician? A guitar, and harp are the weapons of choice for a bluesman.
Last year I was in London and went to Old Bond Street Shave Shop. Wonderful place and purchased some nice shaving soap and a razor there. Great experience!
Well done Kevy and a slightly belated happy birthday to your wife. 😌👏 Looking forwards to seeing all your fancy new purchases! So pleased you found something good to do whilst she went shopping, just don't tell her I said that 😂
I'm currently using the Geo F Trumper, GFT Shaving Cream (Bowl, 200gr). Like it. Really pleasant shave every morning. Can't wait to use the GFT limes. Any reviews?
Hi Kevy. Love Jermyn St. The reason why all barbers use a shavette is for hygiene purposes. Guidelines from the EU, but let's not go there!! Keep up the good work. Thanks for the comment on my Sandalwood sotd.
I can get this in the States for 14.03 USD from Amazon Prime. Come next payday, I will get me a couple tubes. Thanks. I've been a fan of the English Leather scent for the past five decades. I don't know if I've ever smelled the scent of Spanish Leather.
+Kevy Shaves I placed my order for the Spanish Leather from Amazon this evening. If I can fine my original English Leather AS/Col, I'll let you know. You must smell the original. Women will melt.
+Kevy Shaves: You can purchase English Leather After Shave and Cologne by DANA on Amazon. I hope it is the same smell as it was in the 1960's.....Women loved it back then, and I bet they will yet today. Good Luck to you. I only hope you have the stamina. :>)
Well, I just place my order for the Merkur Progress Long Handle from Amazon. You and I seem to have similiar taste in Shaving.....which is cool in my book. It means I can trust your opinions. Let me know what you think but more importantly what your lady friends thinks of you wearing English Leather. I really hope they are the ones who love it. You will owe me a big Thank You. :>)
Question regarding the merkur adjustable razor. Do you feel that it provides a greater ability to "dial" in your shave based upon your beard growth and face prep? Is the merkur adjustable really worth having. Of course, I realize it is your personal opinion. I am torn between buying a vintage Gillette or a brand new adjustable.
Andy, I like the Merkur Progress for 3 reasons. 1. The build quality of Merkur razors is fantastic. 2. I like the longer handled version I have which gives the razor a nice weight. 3. I like having the options an adjustable razor gives me in terms of how aggressive or mild I want the shave to be depending on the length of my stubble. I've only tried a vintage Gillette Fatboy - on loan - and that was a fantastic razor too. If I were you I'd...get boththe Progress and a nice vintage! 😜
I just ordered a tube of this Spanish leather shave cream, I hope it's worth the big dollars I just put out for this high end item!!! HA!!! $18.00 for 2.6 oz, is worth it I would think! lol OH where can I get that aftershave?! Thumbs up! Cheers lad!!
Chippy Tucker it is worth it Chippy, I love the scent and think you will too. I don't know why they only sell it in the tube and not the big tubs. You can get the aftershave on Amazon in the USA. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Kevy - How many soaps do you have?!!! Do you buy all these or are they sent gratis? After watching a load of videos from many different uploaders, I've noticed that the more familiar soaps, creams and products garner the most views. Personally, I don't have much interest in expensive soaps. I find blade and aftershave reviews the most interesting, with the more familiar soaps and creams coming in a close 2nd, although I don't mind seeing how Trumper lathers. I think the casual shaver really wants to see products that are readily available, and those that don't subscribe to videos search for the familiar brands that are in title descriptions. Compare the total views of a title with a familiar product like your Proraso video to some of the others you posted.
I have a...few soaps! I buy most of them or trade them. Good point about the more well known brands. I like to try and give a balanced view of well known things and less well known stuff to make others aware of what's out there for us shavers 😀
@@kevyshaves4109 Will be good if you did a shaving bowl review of different kinds of bowls i.e. Edwin Jagger, Captain's choice, Proraso etc. There are so many on the market, difficult to know what I should be looking out for.

Great video Kevy. I'm glad you and your wife had a great time in England, great to hear.
Cheers Steve. It was a great weekend 😀
I had the Spanish Leather soap as a present a few years ago Kevy. Lovely deep scent! Yet to visit the 2 shops but hopefully in the next few weeks 😃
Nice one Paul. It's one of my favourite scents. There's more than 2 shops you should visit if you go there. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀

Nice one! I love visiting London and Edinburgh. I play a bit of guitar myself. Who were you a tech for?
Lita Ford for 3 years. Bad English, and Vixen.
+Alexander de Leon Brilliant! I bet you have some great stories.

The Latin Samurai That shaving shop in London is fantastic. You can really get a sense of the history in that shop. Wonderful. Cheers. Kevy 👍

So happy I subscribed a while back! Great video as always, Kevy!

Thanks Erica. Your vids are great too. I hope you're doing ok 😀
Aww thank you ***** I'm ok I'm a bit stressed and having to get more surgery on my back but I'm trying to stay positive
Well done Kevy and a slightly belated happy birthday to your wife. 😌👏

Ha ha, Cheers Dave. Your secret is safe with me 😉
+Kevy Shaves Thanks ever so much Kevy 😌🎊🎈🎉👏 you won't believe it but strangely I'm always getting into trouble by making silly jokes 😱
+Kevy Shaves did the barber use a brush to apply the shaving cream?, I'm sure I read somewhere that they're illegal too in some places
+Dave C They used a badger brush to apply it. Lovely ☺

I've not tied the GFT Limes but I hear it's very good. There are reviews from others here on TH-cam. Kevy 😀

I've never smelled the English leather but I would imagine they're both similar scent wise. Thanks for the comment 😀

+Keeper Oath who makes the English leather cologne?

Two words for the shaving shops that disallow video recording..... "spy cam".... :D Enjoyed the show. Thanks.
Ha ha, great idea!

***** Sweet!! I will look for it there, and I agree, tubes suck, and tubs and tins, are the way to go! Cheers!
i guess if Spanish leather smell like Floid the genuine?
I've never tried that Floid so I'm not sure. 👍

Which shaving bowl are you using there Kevy?
It's from www.bidefordpottery.co.uk
@@kevyshaves4109 Thanks mate.
Tell them Kevy sent you 😀
@@kevyshaves4109 Will I be charged more? 😂

you should use a alum block :-)
Sometimes I use an alum block after a shave. Thanks for the comment 😀
