    I remember using Stetson Cologne back in the Disco era. I used to have a bottle in the glove box in my 73' Firebird . Now those were great times. The Movie '' Saturday night fever'' was very close to reality . Damn , what happened to that guy...I used to dance the "Hustle , now I'm learning how to shave.

    Oh, that was fast. Awesome! Thanks for doing that for me, my good friend.
    Well, exactly the same feeling that I get. I find my super adjustables, either the Super 84 that you used here or the Black Beauty with the black plastic base are smoother and more efficient than the slim. In my face is more important the smoothness than the efficiency, since I get less irritation. BTW, I tried the Astra green yesterday, and it was the smoothest shave I've had in months.
    Fun fact: I pitched a slim adjustable to my 2-month-old wet shaver Son, and he said it smelled like metal, and returned it to me and went back to his trusty black handle super speed. He just loves that razor.

    Great shave. I have long sideburns extending to the jawline which was what people rocked during the 60s and 70s. A few of my friends sport a goatee, but most of them have a disconnected goatee and it's just their personal style. The Black Beauty and Slim razors are both one of the most wanted vintage razors in my den. I haven't bought them yet, but I'll love to someday

    I believe the Super adjustable came with slighly bigger blade gap at the same setting. Could not ask for a better shave video, Ken! Thanks again

    Nice comparison shave there Ken. I have both of those razors and find them very similar in performance. The Super 109 "Black Beauty" I have is a 1976 (W4), last one with the metal adjuster plate. There may be a difference in aggression with the ones starting in 1977 (X) having the plastic adjuster plate...IDK. TOBS Grapefruit is fantastic. Great finish, love the burn man. Enjoy!

    • @kensurfs
      @kensurfs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Terry M I think you are right. I have s later model with the plastic plate. The steel ones see better👍💈

  • @robatsea2009
    @robatsea2009 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The TOBS Grapefruit is excellent shaving cream - both in scent & performance. Stetson was my Dad's go-to and I liked it - I certainly tried it but haven't done so in many years. As for the goatee I've had both those and full beards at various times, but at least for me during the summer / hotter weather months it tended to feel more itchy than anything else...and there was the concern that when shaved you'd have this rather distinctive outline where you were less tanned than the rest of the face lol.

    Great shave Ken. I have the Gillette Slim & it's a really nice razor for those who have a fast growing beard but want a mild shave which changes when you go to setting 4 or higher. I would love for you to do a shave with PAA's Autumn Factory & Pumpkin 3.14 soap if you have that set. The burn it has is epic. Tear jerker type of burn on the PAA Autumn Factory.

  • @pauldance7387
    @pauldance7387 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In my option some of the old school after shaves have had changes from their original formula, most adding more alcohol ( hence the extra burn) to keep cost down, they’re using less original fragrances diluting with alcohol.

    Great video, Ken! In my experience, the Gillette Slim Adjustables shave better than the Black Beauty.
    Your mileage may vary. On a side note, there was a girl I dated in high school that loved Stetson.
    Great memories.

    Love these Classics shaves you're doing. I'm still looking for an Artisan shave soap that smells the closest to the Shulton formula Old Spice. My Stirling Spice sample's on the way. Any other suggestions?... I know about the B&M Reserve Spice, might try that after the Stirling.
