Doctor of the shave, I learned so much about shaving watching you a long time ago. Nice to see you still doing well. Building that lather is king.
I bought a 34c after your recommendation. It’s awesome and I’ve been using it for about 5 years now. 1000-1500 uses and it still looks like new!
Most of the DE razors are so good quality, they can survive a nuclear fallout...
Wow - Jefferson got huge! He is really cute. I am glad you are able to be active on your channel again NIck. You were the one who got me into wet shaving.
Let's see if he can get the entire group of orthopedists at HSS In NYC into wetshaving so that they all have their own channels and we can ask them about our sciatica!
Dog steals the show!
I'm 77, but it's still fun to see your episodes and to experiment with different razors. I have a 1952 Gillette, the one I learned on, but my favorite, to this date, is Murkur. Good luck with your shaving adventures. Thanks for all the information.
Which Merkur safety razor do you like?
My man has a jaw chiseled by gods out of an entire mountain
Outstanding. The dog and baby were awesome. Welcome to the fatherhood club.
Nice Video Nick,
Beautiful Dog !
I'm not a big fan of Wilkerson blades
Hi Nick. Really enjoyed it. I picked up that razor about six months ago and liked it right away. And like you said the price is right. I always try to make it a point to keep my hands dry with any razor reguardless of the knurling. No real slipping that way. Thanks for the video.👍
Are you still using that double edge safety razor Wilkinson sword
This is what I lovingly refer to as the "gateway drug" razor... I picked one up on impulse two months ago and immediately noticed a huge improvement in my shaving results. Now I have at least ten razors, a half dozen brushes, a dozen soaps, tons of splashes, balms, etc. and there appears to be no end in sight. Despite a brand new Rex Ambassador, I with the Wilkinson Sword razor today just for the nostalgia. Or something. :)
I’ve had the WS safety razor for over a year now, it’s an amazing shave and a nice throwback touch
BTW , your hair looks great bro 👌🏻
After the Gillett debacle I dumped both the razors of theirs and treated myself a Wilkinson Sword Classic undoubtedly the best razor I have ever owned.
Which razors did you have
Hi Nick. Loved this video. I am really pleased you are back in the saddle🙂. I have just started my own channel and posted my first video. Your beginner series started me off with DE shaving and I mention you in my video along with other well known shave channels. Keep your videos coming, you are one of the TH-camrs that inspired me to start my own channel.
Jefferson is a big boy now. Glad to see that he is doing alright.
I have this razor. It was my first safety razor. I think it is milder than my Parker 87R. It is a great razor.
I wish that someone would talk more about handle length. It is one of the great unsaid of wet shaving.
Great shave! Jefferson's a beautiful dog! Glad you're back on TH-cam!
Wilkinson Sword has always been a awful blade for me. I've tried and tried again... But it remains in last place of all blades I've used.
Would you say the gilette wilkinson blades are better ?
The blades are really good but that safety razor isn't..........
It gave me a bbs shave last night, so for me it was good.
It's very mild. I use it to shave my lady legs. I appreciate the twist to open that removes most of the intimidating part of using DE Safety Razors
I refuse to use safety razors that aren't TTO because I sliced my thumb open when trying to ooen my old three piece razor
Just a reminder: with TTO or butterfly razors, always remember to tighten it before each pass, they can loosen a little and that can give you irritation or unwanted pull or bite.
Glad to see you back! You should feature a Stirling soap and aftershave soon! They are one of the best soap maker out there and the best "bang for your buck"
drunkn711 With this razor it doesn’t matter what you do, it still nips and pull and brushes against your face. Very poor razor. There are better TTO razors out there.
@@Phessington such as
I bought one a couple of months ago. I think it’s rubbish. Too clumsy, too heavy, the top of the razor brushes and clips your skin. But the blades that came with the razor are excellent. For a bit more money you can get a better Butterfly razor.
Great Video 💈Nick..last time I used Wilkinson Sword was when I came to Canada 1997 long-standing brand and it’s alright for starting in wet shaving...
Take care
Alan
P.S still waiting to get Karve Razor Polished Stainless Steel and You have to Try “Semois Valley” Soap from Karve Very nice I heard 👍🏼💈
Man, stop making videos when you're exhausted! GET SOME SLEEP! I work in medicine, and this shit can wait! Good luck and God bless, bro!
I own 5 DE razors, and I have never cut myself using a Wilkinson razor. A good lathering in critical to a close shave. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video. Please, review the following DE blade: Gillette Nacet. Thanks again.
This is my razor, excellent value. Wilkinson Sword's shaving soap is also good.
I'm in the UK so can pick up razor, blades and soaps in most medium/large pharmacies.
Excellent review Sir. 👍🏻
The little interruptions made for some light hearted and well received amusement too.😎👌🏻
Wasn't the first Super Speed head in the late '30s Gillette Milord Tech, followed by the Ranger Tech in 1941, and the 40s style Super Speed after WWII? I think the black handle Super Speed started in the 1960s, and continued to the 1980s. It's strange that various manufactureres still copy the Super Speed head, others copy the 1960s Gillette Tech head, while Gillette is now copying Edwin Jagger and Mühle's head.What goes around never ceases to come around. FWIW, I agree that Wilkies are good blades, but decidedly middle of the road. Best wishes.
I am fan of your videos! I've bought this razor in the last month. This classic line from Wilkinson Sword has nice products! Brush, soap and aftershave balm from this line are also pretty good! They are all more low budget products, pretty cheap, but pretty good!
And Jefferson is awesome! That little guy looks adorable! Greetings from Brazil! 👍
Thanks Nick. Good to see that jar from 2014 still giving you great shaves! Shoot me an email if you want to try one of the newer formulations.
Nick, you should bring someone on to your team with a grossly disfigured jaw to counterbalance the effect of the showcased products on a perfectly square, chiseled jaw line.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Haven’t watched you in a while used to watch your vids a lot when I started shaving years ago. Learned a lot from you. Even a 47yr guy needs to learn new things every now and then. Was curious about this razor just for fun to buy on Amazon and there’s no one I trust more for an honest opinion. Best to you an the family and hope all of you and the nice dog are doing well
Welcome back to TH-cam. I hope the Big Apple is treating you and your family well. I’ve used the Wilkinson Sword razor for a couple of weeks now. It’s a good razor in my opinion.
Nick, good to see you! You always inspire me and although I am not a doctor you make me want to be a better person in my field of work, software development. I've been watching you for a long time and want to thank you for being who you are!
If possible, use Edwin jagger de89 on one of your upcoming videos please.
Desided to try one of these cause of this review and the razer ate my face
This looks awesome, I have the Wilkinson Classic, it looks the same except it's plastic and lacks that fantastic opening mechanism. Also metal looks much better.
I'd have to say try the razor with a better blade and you'll love it. Those blades are pretty bad. I do however recommend the Gillette Wilkerson saloon pack blades. They are much smoother.
When Wilkinson came out with the bonded blade, they sold the right to make DE razor blades under the name Wilkinson Sword, to a German company; the blades in this video are Wilkinson Sword in name only (and very mediocre). Gillette bought Wilkinson Sword (the company, not just the name), and are making the DE blades in India. I've shaved with both the German and Indian blades, and the Gillette blades are vastly superior to the German blades.
I think Jefferson needs a shave
Hey Nick, how about filming a field trip to Pasteur's?
Great idea!
I would agree on those Wilkinson Sword Blades. I used them in my Merkur 34C and found they started to bite a lot in the neck area. Also, would like to see you try A&E’s SoCal Hipster Soap in a future video. Awesome soap, smells amazing and performs well.
Awesome shave thanks for reviewing that razor... I'll recommend that to some newbies...
but you recommended these blades 7 years ago. What's the difference now?!
Keep it up man! Was the first video I ever watched. The way you shave is an absolute art! 🔥
Any clarifying shampoo can be used to get rid of the wet badger smell. It is also good for rejuvenating a brush with soap scum build up
How about shaving with actual wiskers not shave while your already clean shaved
think theres quality contr0l issues with the WS cuts some people to bits and not a smooth shave
Cute dog :) Awesome shave video. Very informative
I really like this razor, my favourite blade out of all the ones I tested in this razor are the Gillette Nacets. They provide a really good shave and I manage to get upto 10 great shaves before the performance drops, my second favourite is probably shark platinum followed Gillette permasharps but both of those only last 4-5 shaves and are on par with cost.
I only have one other razor though, The Lord L6, I find this is better if I've gone a few days without a shave, it cuts through longer hairs where the Wilkinson Sword classic premium struggles. Its a more aggressive razor then the Wilkinson Sword, you can actually feel the blade with the Lord L6. The Wilkinson sword feels super smooth and is also less prone to nicks, the Wilkinson is my daily and the Lord L6 is my goto when I've not shaved for a few days. I'm attempting to use the L6 a bit more to hone my skill a bit but it feels super close and I've still not perfected using it or found the best blade to fit the aggression (my comfort blades tend to pull in this razor).
Nice.
Women will never understand the pleasure men get wet shaving.
Nice video Nick. Great dog, nice to see you're back and making videos.
I'm still chuckling at wearing a shirt while shaving....No way on my part. I'd destroy it. hahaha. Good video Nick!
Awesome to have you back, Dr. Nick! Great video as always. I never had luck with Wilkinson Sword blades, always caused mucho irritation, especially on my neck. I would love to see your thoughts on the Edwin Jagger 3one6 SS razor. Thanks Nick!
I watched this vid and purchased the razor and am so happy with it I do use R41 and R89 so I was so pleased not to cut my self I even like the blades thanks Nick
video starts at 11 minutes, you're wellcome.
Can you please try the lord safety razor?
Hey Nick just discovered you! Great videos man I subscribed. 👍🏻
I found that with the WS blades, I would get one blade (on average) per pack that would irritate me. I would potch the blade and grab the next one. Wont buy them anymore.
They're not exactly cheap either. I found the blades included with this razor to be unusable for me, I would have probably given up if I didn't pick up some personna blades (for 1/4 of the price of the WS blades) which I found was extremely smooth in comparison to the Wilkinson's sword blades which seem to pull and nick. The personna blades just glide through the hairs with no drama.
I have this razor and defo find it a high medium aggressiveness for me. She can bite!
Welcome back Nick, glad I kept following your channel, I love Thayer Witch Hazel and Nivea for Sensitive Skin too.
I bought one of these for travel since it's easy to replace at the local Walmart if I lose or damage it. Pretty happy with it.
This is the blue Shave t-shirt right??? characteristic all these years
can i use that razor with gilette foam in a can shaving cream ?
I bought one and performed one shave, it’s mild but very good. It takes 3 passes. It’s well made, heavy and beautifully chromed. You can get a Shavette in the range too. It’s like the Gillette TTO from the 60s, my dad had one. For a beginner it’s a very good price and with a Palmolive soap stick and a €5 Omega boar brush you’re in DE land for less than €25!
I’m selling it again now and I bought a Muhle R94 Rocco and a Fatip slant!
Hey big guy! Good to see you again!
I hope you can try out and give a review of Timor blades!
Cheers and have a good one!
The safety razors do cause razor burn on the neck.
Good to see you again nick total legend ♥️👍
In Germany you can buy the razor in many drug stores. it is a chinese Weishi razor with special handle. The blades you can buy here in every super market. for me they are one of the worst blades. somtimes there is a sharp and smooth blade between many rough and blunt. Also they are very expensive.
I agree, these blades are tough on my skin. In my next video I’m going to pair it with a better blade
Really good to see you back Nick
This was my first razor
Been shaving with a van der Hagen razor from target for years now. Looking for a mild razor. Any suggestions?
John Zephryhills the 2 best mile razors you can get for the money are the Merkur 34c and the Edwin Jagger DE89. I own both of those, have for years. I still go back to them all the time. I use a Feather blade in them and get a fantastic shave every time.
Park 94r 28 bucks best shave in town!!!! Or you can grab a parker semi slant shave is smooth!!!!!
The van Der hagen is well on the mild side. I have two in my collection, and they are very mild. So you already have a mild razor.
Klevis is right. Try a vintage Gillette Tech (60s or 70s) or a Baili Upgrade/Maggards V3M/Yaqi Tech head: www.aliexpress.com/item/32870050460.html .
DE89, Merkur CC and Parker are all way more aggressive.
MonoLoco that a great choice but any yaqi product is a good choice
I have two Merkur razors, a 23c and a 34c and a Rockwell 6S. All 3 razors are awesome! Wet shaving is the best!
Those are all of the razors you need! If I had to pick 2, I’d keep my 34c and grandfathers Gillette super speed
@@nickshavesI just need one ..my mercur progress..that's it..
I don't mind the interruptions, shows that your channel is more to life. Love it.
Been waiting for this one.
Is it available in india?
Today I tried this razor. I bought all wilkinson sword products. Razor, blades and shave soap. I am switching from cartriges to de. Well I am probably spoiled from dollar shave club and I think I pressed to hard. There was a bloody mess but I guess it just takes practice.
How's the aggressiveness of the razor? Looks nice for a cheapo. FYI I have a 1967 black Super Speed. It's mild.
I've got the old black plastic Wilkinson Sword classic, not sure if I should upgrade to this new tto one. Anyone got any advice?
Hi Nick, check out C.O. Bigelow in Manhattan, they carry all Proraso products there. Wilkinson Sword blades are not good for me either.
Wilkinson Sword were there right at the beginning of the DE razor development, a traditional British company based in the steel city.....such a shame their razor is made in China, the whole point of these products is the quality, heritage and ceremony.....I'll buy their blades, but not this razor.
7:47 💕 dog content!
Tomorrow I'll be using the Catie's Bubbles Le Piment de La Vie Luxury Cream from the 2015 era. Possibly my favorite shaving soap in my entire collection and I pair it with the high end Creed Royal Oud cologne (actually it's an eau de parfum strength). So glad Nick Shaves came back.
I bought it yesterday and try it today and I never cut myself like that on my life... It was terrible for me.. I should have watch this video before.
Wow $16! Here in Germany this thing goes for 6,62€ with 5 blades + free shipping on Amazon.
Looks like the van der Hagen head. Wouldn't surprise me. Haven't seen the shave yet but u mentioned it looks really mild... Lol the razor was 16 dollars.. We know what's going on here lol
Can you recommend a brush, blades and razor for someone like me who has never used a safety razor? I wet shave with disposables but would like to do it like this but there is *so* much product out there I am confused. Thanks :) ps I'm in England so I may not be able to get anything you suggest
It's really curious to me: how would perform cheap disposable 1-blade Bic Metal to standard safety razor like 34c or this Wilkinson. It's also 1 blade, but what the difference?
BTW, I'm looking to buy a proper safety razor, but now I'm learning from your advices with cheap 1-blade Bic.
Wow, missed your videos But would understand if you shaved for your own pleasure and never made another review. Congradulations on your accomplishments Man, take care of your self!!
Beautiful golden doodle. Thanks for taking a moment to show him off a bit.
Soak a badger or boar brush in a 10% peroxide 90% water, overnight. This isn't strong enough to remove color, but seriously reduces the aroma.
I prefer the TTO razor as well,. I twist open a little when rinsing, as this gets all the stubble and soap out. Tighten back up, keep going.
Thanks for covering this razor. Most TH-camrs show razors I'd never spend that much money on. This one is one most could buy and use. And as a mid aggressive, it could be a daily shaver.
I recommend Feather blades. Yes, they are considered one of the sharpest blades available. You're shaving to cut hair, not tug and pull hair. In a mild to medium razor, with a lite touch, they cannot be beaten for the smooth shave, in less passes, and lack of iteration from grabbing hair instead of cutting it.
Hey Nick, I bought the Pre de Provence No. 63 shaving soap and it is loose in the tin. How do I maintain the soap and keep it from getting gooey and slimy from water getting underneath the soap? Do I lather in the tin? Or out?any idea how to care for soap pucks like this?
It smells amazing btw, you are 100% RIGHT
Mam you sound always pretty good ,like a teacher
Well done 👍🏼
Just started getting back into safety razor shaving again. Personally I like it a lot. I've got one of the wilkinson sword black 3 piece razors (where the top pops off) it's small, maybe a bit small for my tastes, but works great.
There are two different versions of these blades...Ones that are made in Germany and ones that are made in India...The India blades ones are the good ones...read the amazon reviews. I ordered a 100 pack of the India version and they worked great. Takes like over a month to get them though.
New York!!!? Greetings from Chicago! 20 degrees here right now. Haven't perused the shaving channels for awhile. Glad to see you're still around.
Wow! Jefferson!!! He id get big lol! What a great shave Nick. Keep the videos and reviews coming!!!!
After watching your video I bought this Wilkinson Sword Safety Razor! Thanks for the video, I like the butterfly feature on it. Have you ever tried using the Merkur Super Platinum blades before? Given how expensive they are, I was wondering your opinion on them? Thanks again, and looking forward to the next video!
Hi there, I've enjoyed watching all your videos and thank you for the good insight to shaving. I am switching over from using disposable. please can you tell me right off ! out of all your shaving trails- what razor will give me the best and closest shave ? what razor blade would you rate the closest sharpest shave? also- if I bought the Wilkinson Sword Classic Double Edge Safety razor- would these blades fit into razor ? Feather +
Blade: Gillette 7 oclock> or would i have to buy he actual manufacture of razor to match the blades ?
I don't think I've seen you review the Rex Ambassador adjustable stainless steel razor yet. If you haven't had the opportunity to use one, I can attest that they are on a different level. The Timeless razor with the .95mm gap is also worth a try. It also is on a different level. Excellent video, as always and thanks for the info.
I bought the razor just to try my first twist to open. I used an Astra blade (1st use). I felt a hollow chatter to the blade which wasn't too comfortable,and haven't used it since. I think I will try it with a known sharper blade next time.
I think it is a mistake to test two unknowns together (i.e. the razor and the blade, both new). How do you know the burn was not due to one or the other or both?
