These razor videos are so calming.
👍👍👍
Ok, so I meant to comment on one of your videos for a while now but I never did. But now I just have to. Well, first of all: I could listen to you for EVER! Your content is great and always applicable and interesting .And second (which is kind of already said by that first point I made): You, Sir, are just generally someone that a guy would want to listen to. The stories you told about your times in school and the attitude you seem to have towards that time are just wonderful! It makes me kind of think of you as a guy that, in general, just has a great attitude towards life, which seems to shine through as well, whenever you talk about your job or your family. Additionally, one can not only learn a lot about a whole bunch of different shaving products from you, but one can also witness, by watching you, a down to earth and sensible way to use said products in your daily routine. And on top of all that, I can see an Englishman (? - if I am right with that assumption), and therefore a European, who's living in the States and kind of fell in love with that country (which I, as a German, who is also greatly fascinated by the U.S.A an North America in general, can appreciate a lot) and someone who tries out shaving creams and razors, which I can find in the supermarket around my corner and gives very informed and honest opinions about them. I am, though being involved for a little while now, still kind of a novice to whet shaving (especially regarding my grandfathers straight razor that I shave with now) and I can definitely say, that your channel is one of the most enjoyable ones I have subscribed to in a long time.
Thank you, Kensurfs! :-)
PS: That being said, it would be great if, somewhere down the road, there would be some Kensurfs-videos about straight razor shaving. I think I remember you saying in one of your videos, that you are still a novice to that yourself, though I do not know how old that video might be. But if you ever decide to do straight razor-videos, I would very much appreciate it. And even if you'll never do them: just keep on doing what you're doing already! Great work! Maybe you won't even read this (since the video is already kind of old), but maybe (and I'm actually quite sure about this) some other people around here feel the same way.
Greetings from Germany!
Happy and healthy new year to you and family Ken-thanks so much for the shout out-much appreciated-I didn’t realize it’s been that long since my last video-I must get “cracking” in 2018-all best from New York!!
briarwood138 Thanks Joe. Happy New Year. Glad you are doing good 👍💈🍾🥂
Nivea Shaving & Personal Care Products have been in my rotation for several years now. Great Performance and Value!!
John Carinci Thanks very much John👍💈
Time really does fly by watching your videos! Thanks for the video.
I swear my dad still uses this razor. Also the Nivia shave cream are really good.
sixyears Excellent 👍👍💈💈
Thank you for your video- great shave. The razor sure takes me back! I love your stories. It reminds me of my own experiences. Enjoy your weekend and all the movies you plan to see.
Peter Photopoulos Thank you Peter and Happy New Year👍💈🎉
Great shave as always Ken. Here in Missouri it's a heat wave of -12 degrees with winds and no rain. You brought back some good ol memories of the Gillette atra lol. I had the atra, the atra plus then the Gillette senor and mach 3 series before going to DE wet shaving. Hope you and your family have a very happy and safe new year. I'll see you on your next video! Keep them coming!
Smokey 1471 Thank you. Happy New year👍💈🥂🍾
Just got a X4 Black Beauty for my birthday! I was born in 77.
Hey Ken,
I was one of the contest winners and I received the brush yesterday and used it today and it's a great brush. A 1000 thank you's!
For a soap I suggest you try Fendrihan lavender and sandalwood. It's the best sandalwood scent I've come across and the performance is top notch. Plus it's out of Canada so it'll be cheap for you.
HouseofChains81 I’m glad you enjoy it. I’ll look into that soap👍👍Happy New Year👍💈
@Kensurfs i got the cooling shave balm. haven't used it yet. still have a half bottle of the non-cooling shave balm to get through first.
Todd here from Maine. Yesterday morning it was a balmy -16 degrees here. I have two young boys in school, I’m really glad right now they don’t have to be standing out at the school bus in this cold
Todd Lewis Maine was the first state I landed in when I moved here from England. Bangor, Maine. State of Steven King...lol
2017 was certainly a good year for me Ken as I retired at the end of November and now spending a lot of time at the golf course! Happy New Year.
Tim Omick That’s what I’m looking forward to doing too👍💈
Now i got it , that how to shave on a right way. I am using Gillete double blade sensors. Before i was using Mach 3 turbo , that create pimples on my skin, Now i feel so comfortable on double sensors, I used Denim Black After shave .
Ammar Jawed Awesome👍💈
finally got to see this vid. polo in the green bottle is one of my favorite.
Another fine instalment of the "Adventures of Ken"....
In my case high school absolutely sucked and college was only marginally better...I am glad you have that great year to look back on.
And a Happy New Year to you too. ;-)
WolfRanger2008 Thank you and Happy New Year👍💈🎉
As far as I understand, it is better to use the aftershave splash first (the one that burns) and only then, after about 3-5 minutes apply the balm. I took heed to this advice from some shaving video on TH-cam that I saw about a month ago and the results are better. Your skin burns less and the soothing effect is complemented by the cool sensation of the aftershave splash.
Happy New Year Ken, for you and yours!
tanathos0414 Happy New Year👍💈
Thank you Ken for your time and dedication making these fine videos. Wishing you and yours a truly safe and happy new year. CHEERS!
William Emil Celeiro Thank you very much William👍💈🎄
I wouldn't use a mentholated soap/cream right now because of the treacherously cold weather afflicting the Midwest where I live. I absolutely love the Polo Blue, and it's quickly becoming my favorite
GoldenSteelTV Awesome 👍💈
Great shave Ken. I really don't have any good memories of college or highschool to be honest about it. Hard to believe that it's been 40 years since Gillette had the Atra razor. I was a baby when that one you used was made. Now I'm silver headed. Can't wait to see the comparison video and Happy New Year if we don't see another shave video.
Stephen Davidson Thanks Stephen👍💈
Loads of rain here in the UK I will request some to be sent across . Great shave Ken happy new year.
Richard Preston Thank you. Happy New Year👍💈🥂🍾
Old blade cuts you pretty good. Nice
Congrats on the weight loss! I know how hard that is.
Bryan Smith It takes a long time and lots of effort for sure👍💈
With how course my hair is I need a Second pass with the Cart lol. mostly to do with my neck, all different directions lol. Nice Video again, getting the perspective of a DE shaver using a cart is great.
B-MAN Thank you👍💈
Love my Atra. Blades still available from Gillette. But, I also use the Personna carts. 100 for $13 on eBay. They also fit the Trac II.
Patrick Durbin I think that’s what these were👍💈
Thanks for sharing the video, Ken.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
The Spectre Happy New Years👍💈🥂🎉🍾
Hi Ken- Thanks for the video as always, and looking forward to them in the year ahead. Happy New Year! All the Best, Ken!
Mike H Happy New Year Mike👍💈
Happy New Year Ken! Wishing you nothing but great shaves in the new year.
Warren Burch Happy New Year Warren👍💈
Wonderful video, keep them coming!
XtremePWN Thank you very much👍💈
Ahaha, getting a reply from the man himself! What a day!
Great Shave Ken ... Have a Happy and Healthy New Year......
rmaggi3019 Happy New Year👍💈
Graduated class of ‘77
BTW, ordered a EJ DE89 today despite having 3 Merkurs already
Roy Smith Alright Roy. You can never have too many razors👍👍💈💈
Kensurfs I've given 3 away recently, hopefully the boss won't mind if I get a few more.
I have a list, hehehe
Hi Ken. Happy New year....again. Been meaning to try Nivea for a long time but just don`t seem to get around to it. Anyway, nice shave. Thanks.
Brian B. It was a quick and easy lather for sure. Happy New Year👍💈
Happy new year to you and all your family Ken.
Cam Mac Happy New Year 🍾🥂👍💈
I see you used the polo Blue EDT but ever try the polo Blue aftershave? I just ordered today the polo red and polo green after shave splash along with the matching balm sets. Can’t wait to try them out. The set also comes with the matching edt as well. Get my safari polo in next week. Can’t wait!!
Have a great New Year's celebration Ken...
porty dert Thank you. Happy New Year👍💈🍾🥂
So we learned the secret of your ring! Happy New Year, Ken!
Dismont DeSire Thank you. Happy New Year👍🥂🍾💈
Wats up ken how are you California is great it the It I live in Beaumont ca 20 miles west of Palm Springs.got my first safety razor and shaving soap from van der Hagen.
Lcorcoran Excellent. I pass by your city all the time going to Hemet or Palm Springs👍👍💈💈
Be careful starting out. I remember cutting myself on the daily for a week. Use after shave every time and buy a styptic pencil for the bad cuts
thanks ken. I've being looking for the original old spice lime. loved that one. if you know where to get one let me know.
You should try the cremo cooling shave cream and cooling aftershave balm
I found it to have very little scent and zero cooling effects 🤷🏻♂️
Happy New Year Ken! 🎉
Tony Tony Thanks Tony. Happy New Year👍💈🎉
I was wondering if you coyld try a configuration that I use almost every day? It consists of Palmolive cream, the brush of your choice, a gillette tech, personna stainless steel blade, and aqua velva ice blue aftershave? It gives me a good 3 pass shave
m z productions I’ll see what I can do👍💈
Happy New Year, 🎊🎆🎈, Ken!!
David Coyote Happy New Year👍💈
Happy New Year! Good for you losing the weight. I'm fighting that same battle myself. Are you exercising along with limiting your caloric intake? Tough battle!
Charles Smith Trying👍💈🥂🍾
Happy New Year, Ken!!
Alex De Leon Happy New Year Alex👍💈🍾🥂🎉
I have the Polo Green, I need the Polo Blue!!
David Coyote The Blue is really great👍💈
hi matey - nivea , really like their products - it takes years off my crows feet :) - just bought these two - Taylor of Old Bond Street No74 Victorian Lime Fragrance - Taylor of Old Bond Street St James Collection Luxury Fragrance - both very good ... itll probably cost for you guys stateside ... worth investigating ... st james smells of freshly clean washing machine fragrance - its lasts a good 8 hours ... the 74 ... debatable - ill have to use it alittle before my final verdict . - take it easy fella .
Technically Brilliant Thanks Mark👍💈
I Always Make My Own Homemade Aftershave Plus it's Cheaper 😊😊
👍👍
Happy new year Ken!
Christian Shaves Happy New Year👍💈
When you started shaving, what did you use, Kensurfs?
Merkur 34C
@@kensurfs I didn’t know that they made the 34c back then lol
@@Tristin471 oh, sorry. Trac 2 Gillette back in the day. The 34C when I started wetshaving
@@kensurfs I know you don’t use one much anymore, but how’s the Personna Twin Pivot Plus blades for the Trac 2 and Atra?
Thanks Ken ,Another Great Video.
Ken what is your favorite type of Brush knot ?
Graydog The Boar really break in well and do a great job. Boar is probably at the top👍💈
Happy new year Ken,all the best for 2018.
The Suffolk Shaver Sane to you my friend. Happy New Year👍💈
Do you know where you can purchase this Nivea Men shaving cream tube online?
Dude I love your stories. Ever tried any of wet shaving products t formula?
Mobow72 I haven’t tried yet👍💈
Hi Scaramanga.
If you had to just choose a razor, razor blade, soap or shaving cream and after shave. What would you have chosen?
Best regards Bojan/Sweden
Bojan Milojevic Merkur 34, Wilkinson Sword Gillette, Taylor of old bond street grapefruit, eternity aftershave.👍💈
Hi Ken,
I've been off for two weeks too for xmas vacation. I know what you mean by staying up late alot watching tv. I've noticed lately the shave videos here have been less frequent. Do you have a theory on it?
I still use a good cartridge from time to time as a change of pace. Using a brush and soap makes all the difference
robert stockton I have been trying to step up the frequency of my videos. I hope all is well with Joe. Happy New Year🎉🥂🍾
Kensurfs I noticed, Busta, Chris bailey and Nick shaves had slown down too. Although Busta was moving I heard.
Ken, what about the smell of the Nivea cream? To me the more mainstream aquatic scent is ok, but the old cream of Nivea was way better. It smelled very special, like a fresh jump into the cold ocean=).
Northern Frisian Always the older formulas were better in my opinion
Hi Ken! Happy New Year! Wondering when you’re going to use the alum block? I wish I still had my class ring. Simi Valley High School, Class of ‘79. Lost mine in a home burglary.
LBS alumni here! XD
Your SpaceX video has been used by several channels now.
abe frohman really? I had additional footage that Shaving With Rich suggested I upload👍👍
Kensurfs I have a friend really into ufo stuff. He showed me two other channels and a website with your first clip. I told him it was SpaceX and he told me that's a cover story. Then I said I sort of know the guy that filmed it and his face lit up like a Christmas tree. So I showed him your video.
abe frohman what does he think it is?👍💈
Kensurfs He thinks it's a ufo piloted by aliens. The same aliens he thinks built the pyramids using levitation beam technology. The same aliens he also thinks created humans by modification to ape DNA. I love to get him going on conspiracy stuff too.
shave with arco soap ps awsom video gritings from croatia
Dario Radicevic 👍👍💈💈
It looks like Gillette vector plus
Last year was great but this year wasn’t that good for me
