    I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now. I’m in my mid 20’s and am a graduate student so I like to keep a professional clean shaven look. You taught me how to shave through your videos. For years I grew a beard but once I started wet shaving I fell in love with the process and tradition of it. For me it’s relaxing and soothing. I really appreciate your teaching method and channel, Sir.

    I'm doing my research on wet shaving (I was raised on disposable razors and barbasol) and just seeing how smooth and clean the first few strokes with a safety razor did - I'm sold. I'll see that on commercials, but all know there wasn't hair for those commercial shots to begin with. I'm still blown away how "dated" this technology is and the results it produces. Wowowow.

    I just got mine in the mail. I put it all together with the stock Merkur razor blade it came with and wow! What an incredible first shave! It was so such a nice first shave with it, I didn’t nick myself, I could feel a cooling sensation after the shave, and I didn’t even need after shave! I love this razor and I am glad I found the right product for me that suits me. The flawless German engineering in this two piece razor is fantastic. Thank you for your vids GEO I can watch you all day. Have a great shave and have a great day!

    I'm shopping around to buy the finest safety razor possible for my kid brother this Christmas, so it's lovely having videos like yours to judge products with. I can't really tell jack shit from just pictures and sales blurbs on a website, and Reddit reviews aren't that much more informative. Thank you for a simple but EXTREMELY helpful service.

You can up the game with a 6S stainless steel razor at twice the price of a 6C! That is a razor that should be last one you'll ever need and will last generations to come.

    I’m 34, and I’ve been using the plastic 1-2blade cheap 10 pack of the Gillette razors, with the cheap Barbasol spray can foam. I am now going to try using the safety razors thanks to your videos! When I was in culinary school we had to be clean shaven everyday, and I never could get a close shave, usually my chefs would not believe that I was clean shaven. I obviously had no clue what I was doing. But now I am actually learning the art of shaving and am pretty excited to order my new safety razor and setup. I’m am thinking of getting this razor, also looking at the muhleR89 or the R41… I have sensitive skin with moderate beard growth…any suggestions as far as piecing together my setup?

    Hey geo, I have a question... do you think it's sufficient enough to do only a one pass shave (assuming after first pass the shave is satisfactory) or is it a traditional rule to ALWAYS do a second and third pass? I'm asking this because I want to minimise the contact of the blade on my cheek with minimum passes.... Thanks in advance for your advise. P.s. can you do an Arko shaving cream in a tube review video

    hi.. can u guide me.. I've been shaving since last 20 years using cartridge Gillette razors... But i don't shave regular so i have a soft face. I got interested in safety razors and feel like shaving regular now and i don't understand the terminology like mild moderate or very aggressive.. what does all this mean and how do I know what's good for me that will last atleast few years

    • @leoncolwin8645
      @leoncolwin8645 ปีที่แล้ว

      A mild razor is forgiving. It offers a mild shave and is easy to use. An aggressive razor removes hair very efficiently and with improper technique you can cut yourself easily.
      Just buy a Merkur 34C. It is a mild razor and I have never cut or nicked myself with mine. The 34C is a very high quality razor that will last you a lifetime. Just get one--you cannot go wrong.
