Just bought the exact razor you have for $118.00 total!! Best part...NEW OLD STOCK!!! Never used!! Thrilled to death! I usually see these occasionally and they want $200-$300 for one!! Nice pick up on yours as well!! We are privledged and blessed!! Always love your videos! Jim
James Gazdagh Awesome👍👍💈💈💈
Very nice shave! Lovely razor too! Enjoy!
vinyljunkie64 thank you 👍💈
@@kensurfs Welcome
There's a drive-in near where I live, and I think two others still in British Columbia. I have visited one in eastern Washington State as well, which managed to re-open after storm damage. The movie fare they program now is more family friendly, not like the 1970s when they'd do a four or five movie dusk-til-dawn mix of movies on holiday weekends.
robatsea2009 I remember those days👍💈
I want a Aristocat,very cool razor.We have a Drive-In only 20 mins from us,always busy.My Dad took us to see the first Star Wars at a Drive -In.I was a little feller but remember going.We go to the Drive-In at Beaufort SC when we vacation in Charleston.Thanks for sharing Ken.👊
Troy Jenkins That’s very cool Troy. Kids today out here have never seen a Drive-in.
💈😉👍🏼💈
I love the drive-in movie theaters!
SoCal Shave heck yeah👍👍💈
Looking forward to seeing some more Bond style shaves but wow, this vintage gillette series is going to be amazing as well. Can't wait to see your next vintage razor!
Anthony Palermo I have another Bond Shave in the works👍👍
I'm imagining the scent from that shave soap is very satisfying!
John Flynn very much so👍💈
Another nice score. You got a good collection.
Vintage Life Thank you👍💈
Nice razor ...Looking forward to 007...Thanks Ken 👍🏻
Lou Handberry Thanks Lou👍💈
Ken we're about the same age. I think I'm 2 years older but the first drive in movies i saw were a double feature of Tora, Tora, Tora and the Godfather. My parents thought my twin brother and I would sleep through the second movie. The horses head in the bed really got me at age 7. Wasn't sleeping...
BradD oh oh💈💈
Hi Ken- Great shave today; thank you! Beautiful razor, indeed; I hope you have many years of enjoyment shaving with it! Hope the weekend is getting off to a great start and all the best!
Mike H Thank you Mike👍💈
Just scored a brand new in box 61 g3 aristocrat. warranty card and all. this video will have to hold me over till it gets here.
NepaBMX awesome 👍💈
Excellent video and shave very nice razor I have a 67 M3 slim adjustable I really like the Gillette’s vintage razors.. thanks for sharing 👍
Stephen Smoot Thank you👍💈
Terrific shave video Ken loved your very informative cleaning ritual which should be very helpful for anyone picking up a vintage razor imo you also dialed that lather in to perfection!
Robert Justice Thanks Robert👍💈
Thanks for sharing another great video, Ken.
I have two non-adjustable Aristocrats, a 1946 and a 1947.
They are my favorite Gillette razors of all time.
I also see you're approaching 10K subs :). Cheers!
The Spectre hard to believe the subscriber count👍💈
I too collect vintage shave items, though ironically I rarely shave. Mostly Gillette stuff. Not sure why, but watching you shave while you talked to the camera was oddly relaxing... subscribed.
ResslerFarms Thank you very much👍💈
Very nice razor and great shave Ken ! Looking forward to your next Bond shave :)
scubash21 Thank you👍💈
Great video Ken! Thank you for showing what you do off camera after the shave.
J. Ko Several people had asked 👍💈
did you have fun in the snow? Everyone here in Vegas freaked out... I keep forgetting to tell you... there's a new James Bond Thunderball slot machine in Nevada... pretty cool!
Rob B I have to see that. I’ll be at there in April I’ll have to look 👍💈
Very nice video. Today I got 2 of those Aristocrats delivered, one w a box like yours (blue blades) and one w no box (was 1/2 price and better condition). Just ordered Barbicide. I also got a 109 (BlackBeauty w gold head) was cheaper and the head in better condition..not the handle. Used it yesterday and did't realize i had it on 7... good shave. BTW there is Aqua Velva Ice Sport in the US; my small supermarket has it. Plastic bottle 3.5OZ. I actually liked it and went back and got 6 (not sure they make it any more).
talega1 very cool. Did you get the razors on eBay 👍💈
Also look for Barbicide in your local beauty supply store. In my case, cheaper than amazon.
Great condition that razor is in Ken. Superb shave as usual. !!
Chris Morley Thank you Chris👍💈
Great shave Ken and that’s one beautiful DE!
Mike Nguyen Thanks Mike👍💈
Great video Ken! I just recently got my first vintage razors from my wife for Valentine's day. I got a techmatic and a black handle speed I believe from 1966! I also picked up a bottle of skinbracer this morning
rigby mordecai vintage👍👍👍👍💈💈💈
Nice razor Ken. The Schick Dial adjustable is a really nice razor to use. Great shave! 💈👏
Warren Burch thanks Warren. Have a great weekend👍💈
Great addition in your Antique De collection very good condition and like that cleaning tips Ken 👍🏻
Nate 4Shaving Thank you👍💈
Great video. Looking forward to the vintage series. Thank you for making these videos!
Chad Owens thx is for watching👍💈
WOW!!!! That razor is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Fantastic shave Ken!
Hello Ken and another very good video. The Slim Adjustable whether in nickel or gold (Aristocrat) is one of my favorite Gillette vintage razors. I have a 1963 Slim that was restored by Razor Emporium and it is outstanding...especially with a Feather blade!
Tim Omick Shoot me a pic👍💈
Great shave Ken, first time comment long time watcher. I just recently had the pleasure of watching Alita: Battle Angel. Great movie definitely wort watching if you haven't already.
Noble Lion Shaves I saw it twice👍👍👍👍💈
Nice snag on the Aristocrat. Was talking to my Dad (87), he switched back to his old Gillette couple years ago, got tired of dropping $20 for a few blades. Recall using Grandads adjustable razor on fishing trips back in the 70s.
So, yesterday, I found a like-new Fatboy w/ good case & am watching
some shave videos and shopping for blades, soap/creme brushes &
mugs.
Those old Gillette Adjustables are so are so cool! & none of them
were more than $15 - $20 bucks, usually $1.95.
Scott S. They hold up so well👍💈
1st Gillette Adjustable Fatboy arrived this morning! Sweet!
Has E 2 date code = 1959, 2nd qtr.
Great shave, Ken. I just sent my ‘62 Slim Adjustable into Razor Emporium for the full revamp service. I saw what they did for your red tip. I’m hoping to add another 50 years of life to it, maybe be able to give it to one of my boys when they’re ready to shave.
Todd Lewis heck yeah Todd👍💈
Nice shave ken . Great razor .
David Coleman Thank you👍💈
Thanks for the after-after shave! I'm looking forward to getting a vintage Gillette adjustable sometime soon.
JimBbBenge very nice Jim👍💈
Great shave. The vintage Gillette adjustables are what I've been dreaming of getting. If they do release a DE razor in the US market again, it'll bring a tear to a wet shaver's eyes, knowing their lifelong dream has been fulfilled. Have a great weekend
You can pick them up on e-bay for reasonable prices.
GoldenSteelTV 👍👍💈
Nice shave Ken💈💈 The Adjustable Aristocrat is a real beauty, mine is unused and came from a museum. Since I have several Slim Adjustables, I will keep it in it's "as new" state. Looked like a smooth shave to me and gotta love that burn man😉 Great video. Enjoy!
I got mine dirt cheap on E-bay. The adjustment plate didn't work but soaking it and boil freed it up. I use mine on setting 4.
Terry M Thank you Terry. I’d love to see a pic of your Aristocrat👍💈
Sir, thanks for your video. This is Gillette Aristocrat ♥️ Long back i dreamed, getting any Gillette razor as wet shaving lover. After long searching i realized, not possible. E bay not shipping and Original packed (Razor Emporium, USA) Gillette razor's price too high. Some where I read Parker 87 R similar to Aristocrat. I get 87R and happy. Today i see original Aristocrat in your video and it is adjustable razor !!!!!!! Sir, thank you so much 🙏🌹
Jayakrishna Bhat 👍👍💈
Excellent shave Ken. I have the huge Barbicide jar and it does an incredible job at cleaning chrome.
Stephen Davidson heck yeah. Plus the jar looks cool👍💈
Wow. Beautiful Razor Ken!
Edison Filho Thank you👍💈
Nice razor Ken, great video!
Brennan Claiborne Thank you Brennan👍💈
Great shave Ken, and an amazing razor wow :-)
PaulHFilms Thank you very much Paul👍💈
You have a unique style of lathering. I am working on the ability to make a thin lather that isn't bubbly and doesn't dissipate or get sticky before finishing the 1st pass. I would love to see you make a video solely describing and showing in detail your lathering technique!!!
John Hilton 👍👍
Nice video ken! And yeah of course beautiful razor you have definitely I would add this in my collection tou, thank you for your sincere reviews and building my knowledge on how to Use and clean one of these beauty.... ☺
Noor Hasan 👍👍👍
Great video Ken
Ydiscovered Ydiscovered Thank you👍💈
First James Bond movie I saw was Thunderball as a kid . Wow . I still love the movie .
David Coleman That had great underwater action👍💈
nice video as always..awesome box and razor
pkj77 Thank you👍💈
Beautiful setup! Man I wish Gillette would re-release some of the old classics.
TShull Vintage Shaver That would be very cool👍💈
I just received one today. I bought it on eBay. It’s also a G3, it has the blue box of blades, the pamphlet, and even the little slip of tissue paper. It appears virgin. A little wear on the outside of the shipping sleeve, but that’s it. It’s going into the safe, never to be used. I have a slim adjustable being replated in rose gold by razor emporium, that may or may not be used as well. I might have to get a third.
john blankenship Awesome👍💈.
Hi Ken, Just had a look for that razor in its original box on eBay. I’m amazed how many are for sale!
That's an all round beautiful adjustable aristocrat, nice to see your cleaning set up and fantastic to see it being cared for so that it's around for another generation. Out of curiosity have you preordered a Rockwell Model T? I can't remember if you have a 6s or 6c. I know you sometimes use cartridges and get a hard time for it lol but will you be doing a chave with the new skinguard by Gillette, 2 blade razor?
Sean McCloskey I have the 6S and I’ll have to look at the Gillette Skinguard👍💈
@@kensurfs yeah it would be interesting to hear your opinion as fellow 2 blade sensor user, although some may condemn us in a pinch they work. Have a great weekend.
Ken, when are we gonna see you back in the Forum? Been missing your input.
If you want a super rare vintage collectable razor, try to find a "Cooper Monobilt" that joker is a beast.
I have the 3 price, and I'd take it over a black beauty any day.
ordinaryshaver I’ll log in now👍💈
You are one lucky guy to have so many cool razors!
Yea, but he is broke now as well 😀💈
neil dsouza they cost me a fortune in my overtime pay though👍💈
Michał Skiba That is very true👍💈
@@kensurfs I've seen a toggle in your shave den. Would love to see a shave with that. Regards.
neil dsouza I’m lining it up👍💈
awesome vid ken!
Biblical Beast Thank you👍💈
That's a great looking razor! I think I like using the vintage razors better than the modern razors. Even like using a vintage blade now and then when I can find them in unopened packages. I've got some Gillette Super Blues and some Gillette Thin Blades. Even found some old Wilkinson Sword blades.
Mr Azulak Very good finds 👍💈💈
Thanks for showing the lather! One thing I noticed is that these badger brushes keep the soap on the outside. My first and only brush is synthetic and the soap goes right inside and has a hard time coming out unless I squeeze it out. Nice video
Ronnie Shirilla Thanks Ronnie👍💈
On a side note, wooden test tube racks make great razor stands.
They hold several razors, and are readily available on ebay. Just a tip for my fellow wet shavers. Cheers!
The Spectre great suggestion 👍💈
Great video as always! Those vintage Gillette adjustables are very efficient! If you catch them on eBay at the right time, you can aquire one for a good price!! I would love to see you try out the OneBlade Core razor. I just purchased one in excellent condition off eBay for an even $40!!! It is a cross breed between cartridge and single edge. Jim
James Gazdagh That is a good price. They are very spendy👍👍💈💈
you had me going for a minute putting the brush facing up like that otherwise good video old style razors always hav3e been my favorite no these new throw always, have you tried the rolls razor yet?
Great shave ,really nice razor
Dana Emans Thank you Dana👍💈
Nice shave Ken 💈👍💈 Have a good weekend. The Dick Tracy watch.
abe frohman Lol 👍💈
Where is the British sterling on the rack? Please also keep it .
Aneesh Vora 👍👍
I love The Vintage Spoiler Blades! Extremely long lasting, you can get around 20 shaves on it. Would've liked to see you use one.
With your whiskers I believe you can get full year of shaving from it 😀
...or lack thereof.
We have a drive in right outside of Nashville
ttroy350 excellent 👍💈
You and Joe Bob Briggs sure love the drive ins. Lol
Vector Man 👍👍
Hey ken, Mike from NJ here,
Do you have to buy a used one or do they sometimes remake the older ones??? 🤔Thanks a lot! 😎
Mike Rose They make similar new ones not from Gillette. But the older ones are more a collectible hobby related👍💈
NIce razor and in good condition. Thanks for sharing.
Magboy Creations 👍💈
Hey man, great video. Love the James Bond in the background! I am currently using The Dollar Shave Club but It’s not a comfortable shave. In your opinion, what is the best set up for the best shaving experience? Blade, brush, aftershave, lotion, creme, ect.. Thanks man!
Jon Cortez Best all around razor for me as a starter or keeper Merkur 34C, Semogue or Omega Brush to start, Nivea After Shave Lotion, Proraso Shave soap and Gillette Wilkinson Sword Blade (India from eBay)
Thanks man! You’re the best.
Jon Cortez 👍👍
Great looking razor
The Scottish Australian Thank you👍💈
Just out of curiosity I was wondering if you knew anything about Reef Point Soaps. Was looking to order some more today from Maggards but they are no longer listed. Did they go out of business?
mcassattack to be honest I don’t think I’ve heard of them 👍💈
So what is a reasonable price for one of these? I can find one without the instructions but pretty much mind condition and good box without broken hinges. Many thanks for the video!
Maria Butler that one cost me $500 shipped
Kensurfs thanks for that. Didn’t know they were so special!
I just received mine an hour ago and I'm very pleased. I knew it didn't come with the instructions and blades, but for $100 in mint condition in original box is not bad. When you find the original blades please give me a shout. I will let you know when I find them as well.
Cheers!
Have you tried those vintage ‘spoiler’ blades ? I’ve read on-line that some guys like them, even given the age. I’m not sure I want to risk it, with so many good modern blades available.
Not yet!👍💈
Nice razor Ken👍
abe frohman Thanks Abe👍💈💈
Another great shave... Informative, entertaining, interesting... Don't let the idots get you down.
Genesee Boy thank you very much👍💈
You need to do a Daniel Craig SKYFALL shave. That one could be tricky though. lol
MR. GENRES lol..straight razor
@@kensurfs yes, I was tempted to buy a straight razor at an Art Of Shaving store here in Austin but between price and my lack of technique, I'm not ready for a straight razor. lol
I never tried any of my 3 adjustable below setting 3. I’m going to try 1&2 just too see how it is
Mike Rose 👍👍 Happy New Year💈💈💈
My first James Bond movie was at the drive in too! Octopussy, followed by Flashdance. Nice shave too.
con milonas Very cool👍👍👍💈💈
Ken are there any forums that you're active?
Alex I try to go as often as possible to Shave Nook and Shave Den but I have to admit I haven’t been active in a while. It seems like work, family and youtube take up a ton of time lately 👍💈
@@kensurfs Thanks.
Challenge: If you should choose 1 DE razor, one blade, one brush, one soap and one AS to use for one year. What would it be? (Silly question about the Razor lol)
Fredrik Hansen Proraso Green soap and preshave, Merkur 34G, Gillette super thin, Shavemac Badger, Eternity Aftershave
Great video. I like my slim adjustable better than my fat boy. I have two slim adjustables and am considering having one gold plated.
Claude Johns That would be pretty cool. They have a gold plated black beauty that goes pretty reasonable on eBay time to time 👍💈
do you consider the slim overrated? and newer razors are better?
I like the older razors because my dad used them, and they still work great
Monti going insane back there.
Nihilistic Existentialist heck yeah he is always making noise👍💈
I have the gold fatboy & the slim.(no cases) beautiful razors.produced for the Christmas market.3rd & 4th quarters.if they were to produce them now with today's greed they would be quite expensive.I think I would have liked the fatboy- slim era.just missed the slim.I was produced in 68.I tell my son it was so far back it is said"in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty eight."
Jim Lawson Lol 👍👍💈💈
I have an old Gillette my Grandfather use to shave with but I don't buy any of their new products... Like most things seem to do, they have really gone downhill with time.
Richard Meyer They were great back in the day though👍💈
@@kensurfs They really were! I don't use my vintage razor but you can tell by looking at it, it's really well made.
It’s hard to find a butterscotch colored handle usually they are more orange but labeled as butterscotch.
abe frohman Kevy has an awesome one from Scotland in one of his videos 👍💈
First one here nice shave kensurf just like always.
wildemir enrique 👍👍💈
Sweet razor
Patrick Wroblewski Thanks Patrick👍
Ken just a side note. Disinfectants are not cleaners. They should be used after cleaning. Best practices would be to throughly clean then disinfect with barbicide. “Disinfecting is the killing of most microbial life that can lead to infection in humans-such as Influenza, Staphylococcus, HIV/AIDS, Herpes, Salmonella and Hepatitis. This step is done following cleaning and requires the use of a disinfectant such as Barbicide®, Barbicide® Plus or Barbicide® Wipes.”
I thought you said barbicide then clean. That could be interesting... Oh god oh god we are all going to die... I just don’t want you to get sick (or anyone) because of something so simple as not cleaning before disinfecting.
Alex Chisholm to be safe I often barbacide before and after
Alex Chisholm even on new razors
Great shave Ken and that razor is the one which I said the aristrocrat fatboy I just love that razor
Joy Ghosh 👍👍💈
what is the diffrences of aristocrat and ordinary slim adjustable?
nezir çağlar the plating
@@kensurfs so no need an aristocrat for me.. my slims are beautifull even so..
cool Razor
Peter Rothe Thanks Peter👍💈
Can you do a video on your car?
Ethan Fallert 👍👍
Ethan Fallert I have one of my car at the SoCal LX and drag racing👍💈
What a razor 😁
Anthony Martin 💈💈👍👍
Gillette doesn't watch shaving videos. They're too busy training the man out of men because it's 2019... 🤬
Damon right. They put an ad on my Facebook the other day. I let them have it in the comments.
CamberwellCarrot Lol..very true👍💈💈
I like using Brut
Brut aftershave ? But it is crap. No longevity.
Austin Barberee 👍👍
Michał Skiba fast and inexpensive but you are right, it doesn’t last 👍💈
You should had gobe for setting 9 and you didn't use both sides
Joy Ghosh 9 would be pretty aggressive 👍💈
😀😮😮😲😀😎👍🏼
Thanks
