Just started shaving with DE razors. Never go back to cartridge.I swap from elect.to wet, I have a very good Braun and feel sorry for not using it, but wet shaving is the way to go. I have to stop my wet shave product purchases getting carried away. I forgot to say your video's are great and informative thanks a bunch.
Thank You

Smart choice. DE shaving is much more agreeable to the skin. The best cartridge cannot match the DE for comfort and closeness, after technique and lather have been established, of course.
Ken, I just bought a 1957 Blue Tip from Razor Emporium. Can’t wait to shave with it.
Awesome
Hi Ken I found this an interesting combination ,I did a kind of copycat shave usins m Mitchells soap ,1966 gillette travel razor a restored Gillette C40 brush from a restorer over there in Fort Worth,Texas and Geo F Trumpers Paisley cologne,it was an interesting good shave.Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Steve
Very relaxing bud👍
minister jap Thank you👍💈
Another great Shave Ken!!! One of my 9 year old daughters has started watching your videos with me and she always crosses her fingers that you don’t cut yourself...and try explaining why we enjoy the burn from the aftershave so much....lol....have a great date night!!!!
When I went to California find it hard to breathe very different air from Scotland you deserve a million subscribers good quality videos
alexander townsley Thank you very much👍💈
I deeply appreciate your reviews.
Honest, straight forward and informative.
Michael Gossett Thank you very much👍💈
The air quality you described what we experienced all summer in Sydney Australia
Alex Karapalevski Has it cleared up yet? Hope all is well
Kensurfs yes it’s cleared up once we got the rain broke the drought and put out most of the bush fires
Very nice shave Ken, and congrats in the big 17k subs! That's incredible!!!!!

Hi, Ken 🖐️🙂👍 Beautiful shave 💈 Mitchel's soap is one of my favourite!
Кирилл Смирнов Thank you 👍💈
Woah! Almost at 17k subscribers! You deserve it!
Hi Ken, looking forward to a good video. Just received a couple of vintage Gillette’s I got off eBay. 68 knack and a 71 flare tip. Arrived in excellent shape, the flare tip had a blade in it. No cuts. I noticed at the last moment. $25 for the pair. Thanks for the videos and the education. Cam.
Shafty1609 Thank you👍💈
Nice restored work!!!
Nice color pattern of this shave, Ken, love it :)
Have a great one!

I just got into wet shaving n it bought a van der Hagen butterfly double sided razor and I had tried the blades that came with it and no luck it didn’t get a close shave. I had to go back twice with another blade. I am going to try some Viking blades that my pops gave me n see how they will work. I do appreciate your tips for newbies
Great shave. The custom painted Gillette Slim is something that everyone envies of and wants to get. It’s enough to make anyone jealous of whoever owns it
I used a 7 o'clock for the first time a few shaves ago. It's in my top 3 DE blades now! Hope all is well, Ken.
What are the others Thomas? Feather + Persona? :-)
@@palmiccz Close -- Feather and Astra Greens!
@@palmiccz ah, but to be fair, I have never used a Persona, to my knowledge. I know there are a few different Persona blades, which do you prefer?
@@RealTalkThomas To be honest? I never tried persona, its just that they are so popular! (But i have them in my bag now)
I just started with wet shaving like a month ago.
I bought Merkur Futur as my first razor and after 3 weeks i decided i need Feather ASD2. And it was a good try for me, i just love it!
So, in Merkur Futur i have Kai blade now and its best yet. Previously best for Futur for me was Derby Premium, while Derby extra was not good fo me in it.
KAI is also japanese as Feather and its also VERY sharp, but not so aggresive, they say that its because its a lot softer.
In ASD2 i still have the first one Feather blade and its absolutely perfect pair for me. I never shaved myself so close with anything before without ANY razor burn.
But yes, you have to take time with that, its not on one pass, but its definitelly not like some people saying that ASD2 dont shave. It does a very good work, but its Guarding your face from blade very well and you have to use rather 45 degree angle than 30.
@@palmiccz I don't have the Future but I do enjoy Kai blades as well. In my last video I used a Kai blade, so that's a nice coincidence. I prefer Feathers just because I can typically get one more shave on the blade without it "dulling" and giving me a little razor burn (probably due to Kai being a little softer metal).
As you said, whatever you find that works, giving you a great and smooth shave but no razor burn, that's what this is all about. Find what works and use it as a standard for future products. It took me several months to find my standard but everyone is different.
I hope you have many, many more great shaves, brother!
That restored razor looks amazing!

Great shave Ken hope you and the wiyha e a wonderful weekend.
Love the Blue Tip Ken. I have a 1955 model.

Hmmmm......sounds like he's got the blues!!😁😁
Lol
Love Friday’s. Love shaving. Good job Ken.
Mr Cool 👍💈💈
Nice to see you back Ken, great vid!!
David Watson Thank you 👍💈
I love all the vintage Gillette and it's missing in my collection the black, blue and red tip and that one it's in a very nice condition. The restored razor are really nice. Nice video as always.
Cheers
AGV Rider Thank you👍💈
“You can’t please everyone”. Very true sir. 17 years of marriage have confirmed it for me 😂
Hi Ken- Great shave; thank you! The Sherlock razor looks beautiful! I hope you have a great weekend and all the best!
Mike H 👍👍💈
I Will cross my all fingers for the give It away!!!
Very nice vid. That blue tip looks amazing. The last TTO Gillette made, a similar one with a black handle is very efficient....like a red tip. I got one in a large set, and then a 2nd one months later.....finally tried it and it is really good. I like Woolfat.....it's amazing how people make it a big deal to lather it.....it's just like most soaps (maybe moaners only use creams....) . Have a nice weekend
talega1 👍👍💈💈
That orange and black razor is nice. Those are my high school colors. If I don't win it might have to order one. Haha.
Oh my... That restored razor looks killer. 😎😎
Gonna look up his page. Thanks Ken. 👍
So now what do you do with the MWF soap bar...just leave it in the bowl, uncovered and full of lather?
How do you manage these dry soap bars?
Any cool tins or containers you recommend for storing the soap bars afterwards?
I use round Tupperware type
Can’t go wrong with a blue tip! Thanks Ken, Zac.
I do understand that giveaway razor is copper and black colored, but as I am a 30+ year Harley owner and rider, I see orange and black. I can't wait till 17k!
Have a great weekend👍👍👍💈
Just another good video ! I love Mitchell´s Wool Fat Shaving soap. Nice Weekend for you and your family
Good shave, thanks Ken! I’ve only bought new razors, I should try to find something from the year my folks were born. Any suggested razors from 1956?
FireBG10 The Blue tip is great👍👍
My God that restored razor is unbelievable!! Nice shave Ken, looking forward to seeing your vlog on the big shave west 2020 🙏🏼
great video as always....cheers Peter
that restored j3 looks absolutely beautiful
Ken,
Thanks for video
Love your talks
Like your shave
Thank you 🙏💈
I got the Mitchell's Woolfat a few days ago, and I'm really struggling with it.
I've followed lots of advice online and all I end up with a thing airy lather that dissipates quickly.
I've tried loading with a drier brush, a brush wet but not dripping. I've tried bowl lathering, face lathering, but the same poor lather. Tried loading for in-excess of a minute. And my area has soft water (I read that some people struggle with MWF if they have hard water) so hard water isn't the issue.
I've even threatened the MWF with violence and colourful language, but still no better 🤣
👍👍
That Sherlock Razor is Beautiful!
Kota Coy 👍💈💈
Thanks Ken for getting the Wool Fat on :-) I notice you reloaded the brush over the soap between passes rather than loading, working a lather then putting the soap away. Seemed to work well for you too, might have to try that instead of pissing around trying to whip up the worlds most perfect lather before hand!
Great video Ken!!
The blue tip may look good but for me, I have to work hard to get a decent shave with it, even with a feather in it! The razers for the giveaway look awesome. All the best 👍👍👍👍💈🏴
That razor looks fantastic!
Great video and shave nice razor really like 7 o clock blades 👍
Ken surfs, refreshing as always!
Great vid ken, and cracking shirt! From ya Newcastle contingent.
Colin G Scrowther Thanks Colin👍💈
Hi Ken great shave
Love the restored razor! I’m looking for a new cream at the moment. Any fun creams that don’t smell like everything else?
crazygunnar 17 I’ll be trying a new one out next shave 👍💈
Great shave as always brother;)
Love the Glass Skull. I got one to soak my badger brushes in too!
I have a scar on my chin from a childhood accident that gives me something of a challenge to shave over, but slowly going over with a steady hand gets the job done for me.
themightyvanguard Very good👍💈
Hey ken I have been watching some of your videos and some others about wet shaving and you guys convinced me to try it. Well first I tried a shavett because I have a beard and just wanted something to line up and shave most of my neck with well I tried that for about 3 weeks. I kept having trouble in my neck area around my Adam’s Apple always get like a rash with minor bleeding and most disappears after about 2 hours. So I decided to try a safety razor and it worked better on my cheeks I don’t cut myself anymore but the neck is the same thing no real cuts but just like a rash minor bleeding
and then 2 hours later it’s gone. I’m using a Viking chieftain with a mild blade. Basically I’m wondering what type of blade I should use I have very thick facial hair with sensitive skin.
Thanks Ken for the video. I like that shirt!!!
Great shave there Ken!!! Happy Friday to you!!! I love my Blue Tip, and I really love Mitchell's Wool Fat. It's one of my top 5 soaps. I just got a mail call for my birthday from my brother of Sebum Gold and sebum Red Aftershaves, which I'll try out tomorrow. I know you know first hand how good this stuff is. Have a great date night and fantastic weekend!!!!
NY Diesel in Fl Awesome👍💈
Hey Ken, do you have any Taconic products we could see? It's from my hometown and I would like to know your thoughts on them. Thanks and Best Wishes.
Joseph Kraemer 👍👍
Great video Ken thanks brother. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Ken,
I’m 68 and just got back into wet shaving. Threw my cartridge razor in the trash last weekend and started with a butterfly razor from Wal Mart. I can’t find my old Gillette black beauty, I think it got tossed :-(. Probably will end up buying one of the new Gillette’s.
Anyway, thanks for the videos. I’m learning a lot. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Hard to beat the vintage Gillettes at any price, new or vintage. Great Blue Tip shave with the Fat.
Btw, I can't begin to tell you how much I want that '64 Sherlock razor!
Schön it’s amazing 👍💈
@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel @5:00 in the video :)
Loving the shirt. Great video once again.
Great video, thanks! Greetings from Germany ;-)
All About Classic Shaving Thank you👍💈
Hey Ken! Happy Friday.
I’m not a huge fan of multicolored razors, but that razor is beautiful. Amazing restoration.
I’m really looking forward to the James Bond movie.
Have a great weekend.
I'm told that 7 O'Clock Super Stainless blades (green pack) perform better (i.e. smoother & sharper) than the SharpEdge blades (yellow pack). Ken, can you try the Super Stainless blades next time? Thanks!
Hey Ken! Did you pre order your replica Fatboy from Global Shave Club?? I pre ordered the chrome and the gold versions. The chrome is $89 and the gold is $109 for the first 300. That is 40% off!! After the 300 is complete, they go to regular retail.
Jim G. 👍👍👍
Justin Sherlock does some great work ken!! I purchased one from him and he was also nice enough to give me one for a give away as well definitely recommend his work
Nice
Daniel Yonan 👍👍
Hey ken great video.. I have watched a ton of your videos lately as I am new to wet shaving. I am having a bit of a problem though. I keep getting razor burn, any advice?
Joseph Haga change the blade for a sharper one. It helped me
Are you putting a lot of pressure on your razor ? Try using a a lighter touch of try different blade try a variety pack from razor emporium to find what's right for you or something the nice things about blades there are so many to choose from you
James Allen very light pressure
You want rain? Just jet over to the UK; we've got plenty of it! Nice job keeping the shirt spotless throughout.
Great shave, Ken! I have a '57 Blue tip, too... Iconic and eternally great shaver. Polo Blue is another old favorite... There used to be a Stirling copy of that, I think? Have a great week!
Love that opening screenshot on this video the color coordinated layout looks great and yet another awesome shave video! Should've had some nice Blues music like a little B.B. King playing on low in the background to set the mood for this shave!
I've been following you, and I'm starting to appreciate the art of shaving and I also appreciate the art of photography.
In the time that I have been following you, I started collecting razor models, but I only trust Gillette, my first model of machine I have is the Mach 3 turbo, after eight years I tried Fusion.And, now I took a risk buying Sensor Excel!
As I'm Brazilian, here in Brazil, it doesn't sell anymore ... so I decided to buy on eBay, with the seller, in Wisconsin.
Taking advantage of the hook, do you frequently change the cartridge?
Alexandre Bittencourt Ramos The sensor excel I try to get about 10 shaves out of it
I find it works best for me if I move my head and leave the razor stationary when I shave me chin.
Hopefully that makes sense.

Hey Ken,
MWF is not really made for your style of lathering. The more you swirl on the soap, the more soap you'll pickup and it wrong thicken up properly. It definitely needs more water until it's dense and heavy and glossy.
That's the lather that makes this my favorite soap of all time.
I hope you'll give this a go next time.
Ken, I recently picked up a British Rocket Flair Tip at an antique shop. I've used it a few times but without much to compare it to, I'm not sure how it would compare to the American Flair Tips. Where would you say it falls on the scale compared to the coloured tips?
Love that Sherlock razor! Of course they are sold out of everything on their website :(
TheDobbermn I hear they had a run on their items after this video went up
Nice razor Ken.. Best of luck for your date.
Nice 👍🏼 That 64 Gillette For The Giveaway Is Sweet It’s Halloween Colored Thanks Justin For Donating it to Ken for The Channels Giveaway 😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

hi ken ,, I would like to buy stainless steel safety razor ,, what do you
think about Edwin Jagger 316?
I need your advice
I wish you a happy day
I started using Mitchell's Wool Fat when I switched over to using a safety razor, but my silvertip badger brush just will not produce a good lather, doesn't matter if I face or bowl lather. Seems like it is too soft. The only way I get it to lather is to use my old Tweezerman black badger that I picked up at the grocery store when I started using shaving creme 6 years ago. I guess I just need the extra backbone.

our winds top yours lol, a while back we had strong antartic wind blowing dust from the interrior... it looked like those photos of the martian sky, and the were concerned that the winds were picking up dust from Maralinga, where the Brits tested their nukes
Nice shave reckon your on 17k now lazy 25deg centigrade here
Hey Ken...have a great & blue weekend...Ciao
What do I have to do to get a chance to win that safety razor?
How many razors total do you have??
KM4GON 20 or so
Better blue tip, bowl, and polo than blue balls lol!
Do you have PAA the cube I ordered it
Great shave Ken. I believe I have the friggin flu. It's a shame that you can't shave with that restored 1964 Gillette Slim adjustable. To the viewer who is having trouble shaving their chin, just repeat the with the grain pass and across the grain pass. That's what I do to get my chin and moustache area cleaned up with a straight razor.
Stephen Davidson oh no, get well soon
@@kensurfs thanks man.
Blue Tip is the mildest of the 3.
She Shaves with Jill I always screw that up. Thanks Jill
Ken💈💈 Nice shave, should have gone against the growth🙄 Yep, you know she'll find the stubble. Mitchell's takes a little work to get an excellent lather, but it's worth it😊 Polo and the burn..great👍 Enjoy!
Terry M Thank you👍💈
Next time you use that soap try to use a boar hair brush. I find that a nice stiff brush works best against hard soaps like that.
hey do a straight razor shave!!! that would be awesome
make me sneeze a lot during shaving with Wool Fat Shaving soap
Hot damn that is one fine looking razor!!!!! I’d love to get one revamped to look like that!!
Also on the wool fat been holding off on buying it because on the forums read a lot about it’s harder to lather and use but you made it look like a piece of cake! Might get me a puck.
Great shave as normal!
Got some preshave oil I wanna send you to get your full thoughts on. Sent u an email. It’s best preshave oil I have tried to date!
You got'ta love The Fat. I use it every weekend. Nothing else leaves my face so smooth and soft. I know a lot of guys have trouble lathering it, and it took me a little while to get it dialed in in my hard water, but it is worth it. The best prices I've found are from some of the English on-line shops. Even after shipping it costs less for me than ordering from domestic US shops.
