Natural soap is not only useful but also pleasant. New song.)) Wow!) Very usefull tip. But I have long been using this technique to hold the end of the handle of the razor. I learned looking at your video and it really works and helps to gently touch without too much pressure. So thanks a lot. Paul. And my brother tell his gratitude for the use double chin. Оо alum block, is back, very good. We are glad to see you here and on your second channel. We will not even bother you at Facebook. Thanks a lot for your reply.
Hello Paul, excellent video and please tell Mrs. H that Mrs. O really liked the flowers today and enjoys the closeup. I have a 1973 Black Beauty...fantastic razor. Oh, and my Christmas wish list includes a Delta Echo Red Tip and the new Simpsons synthetic Duke 3 brush.
I will start by saying thanks for the videos. I didn't think I would still be watching them but I do enjoy them for the most part and have learned a little more about DE shaving. I have been shaving for 30+ years and started DE shaving at the beginning of this year to try and help with the nicks and irritation and so far it is working out well but of course I still get a bad shave here and there from trying blades and soaps once in a while. In all this time I have shaved the way my Dad did it, from the neck to jawline and then the sideburns to the jawline and he never did more than one pass with his Schick Injector. I have never been able to shave in the opposite direction in all those years until I started DE shaving and been working at going the opposite direction in a 3rd pass but seem to over shave when I do my touch ups and it ends in irritation. The last couple shaves I have changed the way I shave and now my first pass is now sideburns all the way to the neck line. Last shave I did a 2nd pass across and then a 3rd in the opposite direction but this morning I omitted the across the grain and did the neck to sideburns pass and then some touch ups and I can say it was great. I still over did it a little but the price I pay for enjoying the shaves. I am glad I grow a mustache because I over do it and draw blood, actually shave it once to twice a year for a week or two and I have a hard time in that area.
So thank you for the videos and who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Sorry for being long winded.
That's great to know Dean.....fantastic, I think we are all still learning really....nice when something works isn't it...all the best.....Paul.
Paul, another good shave. I believe that the Gillette Adjustables are commensurate to the Superspeeds and so forth at about "3" - except for the plastic-undertray version of the Black Beauty, which is less aggressive, and needs to be turned up to about "5" for that level off aggressiveness. I've just been shaving with the Knack, which was the U.S.A. equivalent of the Slim Twist. Great razors - surprisingly good. One small note - the Gillette Super Adjustable, AKA Black Beauty, you were using did not come out until 1969. Even the first of the Adjustables wasn't on the market until '58. It's likely a '71, rather than a '51. Best regards.
Thanks Patrick, yes it was my mistake you are right, this razor was actually a "W" date code, which was 1951 and 1976 which this razor is....so thanks again....Paul.
Hi, Paul. Those flowers are exploding like a great lather. Nice choice of razor and other products.
Thanks Don.
Excellent shave Paul I love my 76 black beauty gillette adjustable.💈💈💈💈
Very nice video Paul. That razor looks awesome.👍👍
Great shave, glad you brought out the black beauty. I love mine, it's my regular shaver. It's pretty hard to beat. Have a good week Paul. I need to go and stock up on some of my favourite creams. I'm almost out of all of my types of TOBS. And that simply won't do.
Enjoyed it, as usually. Have a great week, Paul!
Great video Paul, you've kept that razor in excellent condition. 👍
Something therapeutic about your videos. Thank you.
Great video. Thanks Paul!
great video Paul i just got my first Black Beauty 1972 my birth year and wow what a nice shave just love it.
Fantastic, means more when you have your Birth year...all the best....Paul.
love the music for the flower zoom in. lovely flowers.
Paul You Really Have A Awesome Personality Its Refreshing. !! The Sky's The Limit For You ... 👍
Strange coincidence! I had almost the same items for dinner as you, used a 1968 Gillette Knack( I think it is probably very similar to the Twist in terms of pefrormance) for the Weekend Shave and used a Lord Blade(which had been substituted by the Vendor for Big Ben)...Sychronicity! :D Thanks for the Show. :)
Great shave Paul! Thayers Witch Hazel and "no pressure" are two of your best tips. I've yet to get the medicated but it's on my Christmas wish list. Outstanding flower arrangement Mrs. H, you've outdone yourself! Take care, Ossie
Thanks Ossie, the Medicated is great also, hope Santa brings it for ya! :))
Congrats in advance for( nearly ) reaching 7000 subs.
Thanks, yes amazing how it's growing, really lucky...all the best and have a great week ...Paul.
Paul, You always look like you are enjoying yourself and make it fun to watch. The other thing that is great about your
Videos is that you always can count on you to put up a Video on Wednesday and Sunday and you don't take time off like some of the other You Tubers. and one more thing is you don't run others down .Paul you are the BEST!
Great Shave again...... I sent you a E-Mail about the Black Beauty .
ps. I liked the behind the scenes "Hot & Spicy " any Chance of doing a Behind the scenes Shave ? Lol, you know getting out of the shower, picking out the shaving gear and such.
Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos, and just done a well how I film my videos, not exactly behind the scenes...lol.
With your new camera, the quality of your video's is just 'fantastic', I would say the best available right now. Also the brightness is superior, it's a joy to see. Well done! Cheers, Achim from Singapore+
Thank you very much.
Well I was going to get out of bed until I seen the notification pop up for this SR. I really enjoyed it...like you say there's always tips within comments...and I myself have been grateful for such tips. I love Lucky Tiger...my only slight gripe with it is that the smell doesn't last long.
I see not many posties sold their free shares.
Hope all is well in North Wales?.
Mark.
Thanks, yes love Lucky Tiger, but as you say, wish it would last longer, there are a few selling there shares, but probably most may keep them, staff own 10% of Royal Mail....lol...great stuff...all the best and have a great week.....Paul.
love that razor paul...great video
Sean Connery impression Done today Paul ! Love the Black beauty razor, I like the setting @ 5 also . Beautiful Flowers from Mrs H ! ATB. nilo.
Very nice Paul, I do enjoy my Sunday mornings, grab a coffee and watch you enjoying yourself and some would say sometimes being silly too, but not me 😌👍
I went through a puck of Haslinger Calendula (I didn't get Palmolive, English nose😂) earlier this year, great performing soap, I will be buying more ! A few people rave about their Sheep's milk soap too.
I'll have to try your tongue twister after a couple of J2O's 😇
Stunning flower arrangement, MrsH 😌👏💐
Thanks as always Dave.
Another great video Paul. I was born in 1951. It would be a dream come true to acquire a 1951 TTO adjustable razor.
Sorry Allen this is actually a 1976 Razor, it was my mistake, but a great razor all the same.....Paul.
Excellent shave Mate! Finally some Haslinger action too ! GREAT soap. Haslinger is quite a thirsty soap. It loves a drink and gives up brilliant slickness.
Really enjoyed this Soap Mark....liked the water as you say....but great shaving soap.....all the best....Paul.
Hey Paul, it's been a while since I got to see your videos, I had an episode of depression unfortunately but I'm doing good now. Felt really out of sync for a while. Good to see your in good health and all bubbly. The Gillette Black Beauty is a nice adjustable. I have a 1971 R2 and it works wonders. Give Mrs. h my regards for the flowers. I got catching up to do with your videos from atleast a month ago.
Glad your feeling better Aaron....all the best mate...Paul.
Great shave Paul! Hope you have a great week.
Great job as always Paul, congrats on approaching 7000 views, like very much all Your videos, by the way enjoyed Your Lordship!!!, keep up the good work with vids and of course best regards to Mrs. H. for beautiful flower arrangements.
Chris
Thanks very much Chris.
thank you paul
love the videos. just did a birthday shave with my birth year black beauty on a setting 5. great shave.
Hope you had a great Birthday, and what a way to shave on it too...all the best.
Good day Sir. My son Keegan is still shaving with me. He really loves our shave days. We are actually shaving tonight. He wants to use my Muhle R41 with his dulled razor blades, and my Derby Lavender cream. :) Keegan says hello by the way, and to have some great shaves. He has requested that you use the Muhle R41 razor for your next video.
Thank you, and say hello to Keegan too, glad he is still enjoying the shaving days with Dad...great...yes must use the Muhle R41 again soon...all the best....Paul.
Great video Paul, I must admit my Christmas list has been started and I'm sure I will be adding to it shortly, the main thing on the list at the moment is the new Proraso Sandalwood aftershave which I have seen a few reviews of and seems very good. - All the best Mark.
Thanks Mark, and that it also on my list too....all the best.....Paul.
might give the lucky tiger a go. I've had the big ben blades but can't get on with them. all the best.
beautiful flowers paul
great shave Paul I have a 1969 black Beauty adjustable it,s a very good razor
Great video as always Pablo :) I was wondering if you have ever tried Catie's Bubbles shave soaps? If not, you should give them a go. You would love the scents!
Not tried them as yet...have heard they are good yes....thanks.
*Thanks for the vlog Paul!* I believe I'll set my _Gillette Slim (K2)_ to setting #5 tomorrow.
Thanks David, hope the shave went well.
PaulHFilms Yes it did. Thanks.
That Black Beauty did a great job. I must resist adding one to my collection if I can.
If you don't resist getting one, then welcome to the club...lol...all the best Mark....Paul.
Paul - I'm not sure if you're aware of this but you really loaded up on the witch hazel with this shave. You used the Thayers Medicated Super Hazel, then applied the Lucky Tiger which contains witch hazel, and then finished off with the Nivea balm which ALSO contains witch hazel! Nivea even adds witch hazel to their shaving cream!
Lucky Tiger leaves the face feeling great and moisturized. I usually use that alone without witch hazel or balm. Since that orange scent lasts for about 5 minutes at most, I throw on a cologne or edt before going out or just to make me feel better when I'm staying in.
That Nivea balm has been our for a few years. There's also a sensitive COOLING version. I bought two bottles of both on sale here in a supermarket for US $2.99 each. This is the cooling version at a store near you: www.boots.com/en/NIVEA-MEN-Sensitive-Cooling-Post-Shave-Balm_1484996/ (By the way, I think Boots was purchases awhile ago by the US Walgreen's chain: www.walgreensbootsalliance.com/about/)
Now what other viewer regularly gives you this kind of information?!
Where would you place setting 5 on the 1976 Gillette adjustable in comparison to the Futur and Progress? How about comparing setting 9 to the Futur and Progress?
Never thought about that, yes thanks, really appreciate your input in the comments, as I know it helps so many people, so thank you for your comments of great information....Paul.
Keep them on their toes with the black beauty age Paul.
LOL
Yes, they won't realise it's a 1976 really. :-)
Good shave mr Paul...I watched your 007 channel also...so for me it was a Hot and spicy Shave...lol....well done....Flowers were A+...cheers!
Thanks Bill :-)
Always enjoy your videos. When you place a puck of soap in a mug, do you leave it in the mug until its used up, or do you take it out? If you do take it out, how do you store it? Thanks for another fantastic video!
Thanks William, I take it out and rinse it, let it dry naturally, then place it back in this case , into it's plastic container....ready for next time, but with any soap I rinse then let dry, your fine then no matter were you keep it really.....all the best and have a great week......Paul.
before I knew you did these videos the day before Paul I always wondered how in God's name you managed to be so normal after eating a hot and spicy dinner the night before!😂 great shave vid once again though my friend take care 👍
Hey Paul George from Western Canada just watching your video I have a couple of safety razors that have overhang on them, Parker Variant, Rockwell 6c Muhle R41 and Yaqi DOC what I do to my razor blades to prevent the overhangs I have a good set of sharp scissors that can cut threw wire and razor blades and I cut off just enough that no overhangs shows on the safety razor it does not affect the way the razor shaves now I know people will think that I’m crazy but it’s works for me no overhang to worry about no cuts or nicks around my nose or ears anyways great shave man and I’m bidding for one of those Gillette Slim Adjustables on EBay any way great shave have a good one
Thanks for sharing your tip, always helps people .
for your next shave I think you should use Wickham 1912 shaving soap
Don't worry Paul about the long videos. The longer they are the better for me and where did you get that shave soap from?
I bought it on eBay Steven, a while back now. thanks for watching :-)
Hey Paul. Hope you're well. I'm convinced after watching your vids to man up and try an adjustable razors. I was wondering if you had any preferences. My beard is fairly soft and i must shave almost daily for most of my whiskers have turned prematurely white, so i look like a bum if I don't stay shaved... : / I think this one looks good for me as i don't really need too aggressive a razor. Any thoughts? Thanks for great vids and assistance..
These are great razors Greg, not aggressive, just a good mid range aggression, and built to last.....good luck if you get one, not sure what blades you may like , but I always had good shaves from Wilkinson Sword, Personna Reds or Blues.
i see the lady has been helping herself to his lordships formal display lol
i have the haslinger schafmilch rasierseife very rich and creamy
used my black beauty two shaves ago, fantastic razor
i don't often use my lucky tiger aftershave, but when i do i wonder why i don't if you see what i mean lol
great vid mate
catcha laters
Thanks John, you always enjoy things more, when you haven't used them for a while....all the best....Paul.
You're applying far less pressure than it always looks/sounds on video, correct? You are right about the no pressure tip. It's counter-intuitive but the 'light touch' cuts more efficiently with zero irritation. Many thanks.
Yes that's right, it can be difficult to show on camera sometimes....glad it works for you too.....thanks..Paul.
Ohhhhh you will have quite the hot and spicy when you come to New York. Too many fine eateries to list. Now I'm hungry .... I need a pastrami sandwich!!!!
'Black Beauty' is really beautiful ;)
Good lucking razor :) I just bought a 1985 F3 on Ebay (birth year and quarter :) ) Looking forward to it. How's it compare to the Gillette slim? I've got a 65 slim so I'm just curious. I've been hearing good things about that Haslinger. BTW I'm going to pm you for your address I have a soap who's scent I came up with and had made by an artisan in New Orleans and I'd love for you to try it.
I adore your videos and I would have loved to have had some of those pork chops for dinner with you my friend take care
Fantastic shave Paul! On the screen you have a large round circle on the corner, is this a different camera? Nice flowers Mrs. H!!
Thanks Kerry, no it's the same camera, I think something has splashed on the camera lens...sorry about that...Paul.
PaulHFilms no worries. I always look forward to your videos while I have breakfast with the wife.
Say hello to your wife, and thanks again Kerry.
Paul have you tried the sharp brand name those are very smooth shaving blades
That rings a bell, I think I have John....and must have liked them, as they are not in the pot of "won't use again"...lol.
Awesome stuff Paul. And those flowers. Blooming marvellous! Mrs. H is setting herself some very high standards these days. Thanks for the Christmas Wish List emitter. Merkur 34 C is on mine. What's on yours????
Had some good shaves this week and ended the week with a straight razor shave.
Thanks for sharing. I'm off to enjoy my Sunday dinner. Roast pork, roast potatoes and everything. yum! See you Wednesday.
Thanks Mike, much appreciated, one thing which is on my Christmas list is Proraso Sandlewood Aftershave, other things will probably be added..lol....hope you enjoyed your Sunday Dinner.......Paul.
how good is that Proraso red! that's on my birthday wish list ;)
Do you have the Geo F Trumper Sandalwood cologne? if you're into sandalwood, from what I've read, that's a real powerhouse.
no I've not tried it or smelt it. But I will. Thanks for the recommendation. Much appreciated.
@ 720: Have you checked to see if other blades won't slip around inside the compartment? Perhaps it is a manufacturer's defect of the blade?
Hiya Paul. another great tutorial. I have become an avid watcher of your videos. they're great. I've got the chance to purchase a Black Beauty, but am considering a new Parker Variant or Merkur Progress. I don't know what to do frankly. I already own an Edwin Jagger DE89 & Parker R66. I'm looking for an adjustable to add to my range. Your help and advice would be massively appreciated. By the way, I've reintroduced DE wet shaving to my father (he's 72) and my best mate. I put together a couple of packs of products and cheap DE razors that I used when I first started. it's becoming an obsession which my good lady struggles to understand. Cheers dude
Thank you, I don't own a Parker Variant, but have been told it is like the Merkur Progress. The Progress is a very nice adjustable razor, not sure if you like vintage razors....but the Gillette Slim Adjustable is one of my favourites....great your Dad back into wet shaving...fantastic, hope you both have some good shaves to come....all the best...Paul.
Cheers Paul. Your feedback is hugely appreciated. Might plum for the black beauty.
Sensational shave Paul! Enjoyed it very much. About to write my first exam while in medical school at Swedens top university, would mean a ton if you could wish me good luck. Cheers
Well good luck with your exam, hope it goes really well for you, all the best....Paul.
Great shave paul. Tell me if im wrong but did that black beauty handle just turn white lol.
Lol...that is the Slim Twist, which I was showing also in comparison....even got me thinking then..have a great week...Paul.
Ahh i see i couldn't have been listening lol. Thought you where just testing us there. You too paul. Thanks Mrs H for the flowers as always.
A very random question Is your house haunted keep on seeing so white orb floating about on your film at about 7:30 and again at 8:40. Do you know where the razor came from?
No, not to my knowledge, as it's a fairly new property....if it is haunted, I would like to think it's my late Father or Uncle...the razor came from the USA.....many thanks.
they really didn't skip Q. but only made the Q for one quarter. I have a Q1 Black Beauty in mint shape. and by the way it's for sale.
Greg Wagner I'm interested, how much is it going for?
Ringelblumen scent = Marigold flower and empfindliche haut = sensitive skin. Just thought I would translate for you!
Thank you Garry, very helpful, so where does the Calendula come in, as it states that too when buying it....all the best....Paul.
PaulHFilms. Calendula is the scientific name for Marigold according to Google. I used to live near Austria in my younger days, hence my knowledge of German.
Gary H Really appreciate that Garry, Thank you.
I am looking for a razor that can remove say 3 or 4 day growth quickly and without much irritation. Some say the perfect razor for this job is merkur sledgehammer 39c. Would you agree? with which setting on this razor you would compare the sledgehammer? Thanks!
If you shave with a light touch, a Muhle R41 or a Merur Futur would take down 4 days growth like it was 1 days growth....but the 39c is more aggressive than this razor....this razor would shave 4 days growth but would take longer of course....all the best....Paul.
I have the r41 but even with a derby blade in it, it feels quite unpleasant.
There's no movement of the blade in my Black Beauty once I lock it down with the final quarter turn...
That is why I shown this really, I expect some razors may be different....it was locked down correctly too....good razor all the same.....blade doesn't move during the shave , only when prompted by the hand.....all the best...Paul.
Hey Mac give us a hot dog!
too funny
paul, the birthmark on your left temple has gotten larger. if you look at your first video and compare it you will see it's bigger....just thought I would point that out:)
Yes, I have been to a Doctor once and asked about it, but he said nothing to worry about as long as it doesn't itch, change colour etc....they can remove it quite easy he said.....but not worried as long as it's OK....thanks....Paul.
PaulHFilms OK, GOOD TO HEAR! just watching your six, old chap!
hi Paul, do you still enjoy makeing this videos after the years...?It takes a lot of time and work...Have you been sometimes bored from it ,or you are looking forvard to make the next video...? I like watching your videos and always put the thumbs up and i improve my english with your videos because you have really good pronunciation for me... thanks. And last thing i have to say : You are really GOURMET for real ! :-) Thank you and have a nice day
hi Charles, still not working. Iam going to rehabilitations ... Yes , my shaves are great.What razor do you use?I used lord l6 yesterday with barbus sport - cream and mennen aftershave (skin brancer).When ill be ok i put here some video "back at work" mabye :-) thank you and have a great week
Hi, yes I still enjoy making the videos, and always look forward to filming the next thankfully, and thank you for watching them, hope your legs is getting better too......Paul.
Seems the neck is always the sensitive area for most.
Can I buy that razor off you? ;)
The black beauty was first produced in 1968. What is the date code? It's located under the head of the razor. 1 letter 1 number.
Ditto that. Gillette's date codes repeated every 25 years (skipping "Q"), and Gillette didn't begin using black handles until the 1960's. 1951's letter code was "W," which repeated in 1976, then again in 2001, long after Gillette abandoned TTO razors. This video's razor is undoubtedly from 1976.
Correct, 1976 "W" date code.....my mistake......thanks....Paul.
Greg this is actually a 1976 Razor, my mistake, the date code "W" was 1951 and 1976....I stated the wrong one....all the best....Paul.
mushy pees errr id pass on that if you dont mind. great shave vid nice to see your using different shave bowels i see you have a lot behind you.
if any one is wondering my captains choice bowel came its wonderful
I think that make of soap has a Mitchell's wool fat version in their line up.
