I have to say, your channel is my favorite shaving channel. I feel like you're the Mr Rogers of shaving. I mean that in the best way possible. Friendly and warm, always informative and helpful. We get glimpses into your everyday life and the friendly banter is so welcoming. I look forward to every new upload.
Well said Clay...I concur with your assessment wholeheartedly regarding Ken’s style. Very informative, entertaining, and relaxing.
Thank you very much
This shave should be titled "From Russia With Love."

I kno u have a channel strictly for shaving but i myself been de shaving for 5 years and what i have concluded is its all about the blades. I have every razor you could think of and for me they all work unless i load a poor blade. Its all in the blade and collecting razors is just a fun habit lol. Great vid
I could not agree with you more! It is all about the blades!
Thank you James💈👍👍
Ken, as a few others mentioned, taiga is the thick coniferous forrest of Russia. It is essentially what we call a boreal forest, in the US and Canada, or a cold, swampy, high latitude conifer forest.
👍👍💈💈💈
Beauty of a razor. Good shave.
Thank you
Great shave Ken 👍
Thank you
So glad to hear that you found the 50 pence piece!
Lol. I use it regularly to scoop out soap into a shave bowl
This razor is completely disassembled and that's cool. There are marks on the top middle and bottom plate. Three letters, H,L,S, which means HomeLike Shaving. Today shaving is obtained with russian products.) Glad you liked the razor and the soap. Good shave and good review, a good gift for everyone!) Many thanks.
👍👍💈
What a beautiful razor
👍👍👍
Ken, Taiga - This is the world's largest area occupied by impenetrable forests in Siberia.
👍👍
Spoiled rotten tonight with SinatraLennon's, Kevy and finishing off the evening with Ken and the mystery of the ten bob bit is solved!👍😂
We're on the same journey today - though I'm a bit behind you.
👍👍💈💈💈💈
Great Video Ken, Supporting you all the way from England 🇬🇧
Thank you very much. Which part of England? I was born in Newcastle
I am from Manchester. not too far from Newcastle. Hope you and the family are doing well
That Razor is adjustable without open it up. Same with the Futur, the flexi and the Rex. Reason for the possibility to put the bottom part out is the possibility to put all parts apart cause you can change the closed comb plate to an open comb! plate
💈👍👍
Excellent shave, Ken! Thank you! Stay safe down there!
👍💈💈
Hello Mr. Ken, glad to see you again, hope you are having a great time. Stay safe. Always thanks for your videos
👍💈💈
I am glad you found that 50 pence piece I was thinking of that... I do not like when things vanish👍
I was truly puzzled where it had went
"From Russia with love", Ken ✋🙂👍💈 great shave and really nice razor! I live in Siberia, near Taiga 🐻 It's biggest forest territory!
👍💈💈
Great shave video and great looking razor. The Gillette “Psycho” Tech is just a nickname for the razor used in mental institutions and prisons. The real name is Gillette Security Razor. Keep the great video coming. 💈🪒🍦💈
👍👍
Thank you for this glorious channel, you got me started on the wet shaving but sadly I might not soon enjoy anymore due to my health. I say thank you now become will might never come. So I thank you now for all the review type videos
Beautiful piece of information. Soon u will be in the Guinness book records for having the most number of safety razors owned by an individual.
Lol
Always glad to see a new Kensurfs video posted! Another great shave and review! 😊
Thank you Dan

Anyhow take care & Be Safe
Alan H

Alan H

Hey Ken, great shave....can't believed you found your coin! Anyway I have a request,.a small one,can start doing a wrist watch check? I would love to see your collection, maybe you can make a video one day of it. Hope you had a nice President's day! Have a good one. Thanks and Best Wishes!
I will try👍👍 Lately I’ve been wearing the Seiko Arnie
Forget the 50p piece get yourself a mustard spoon, ideal for apportioning cream or soap.
👍👍👍👍👍💈
Here's what is kind of funny I just got done shaving and I put my aftershave on and I almost lost my voice!😚
😖😖😖😖
Ken nice video, I love my HLS Taiga. It comes with a solid bar and open comb. I’m a sucker for the open comb!
You can buy a double open comb head and safety plate off of www.amazon.com. It's just the head and plate, no handle.
👍💈💈
Lliked Voshhod blades, one of the best deals out there.
Currently running Gillette Silver Blue & they are working well.
👍💈💈
Hi Ken- Great shave and razor review; thank you! Nice razor and a nice shave! Just to add to the list of things subscribers would like to see in the family-style video, a shot or two of the red Mustang would be great! I hope your week week is off to a great start. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Ken!
👍💈💈
That's a nice looking razor ken, interesting design. That's funny about your coin... glad you found it!
Lol💈👍👍👍
Cool looking razor Ken.
👍💈💈
Nice shave Ken that razor looks good. So glad you found your 50 pence piece :) Have a great week. I like the Polo Green and Blue equally.
👍💈💈
Great video Ken! I hope you and your family are staying safe. I think you were thinking of the Merkur Futur!
👍👍
Ken , Razor Emporium have a video saying not to clean razors in Barbercide . I don't know if You have seen it but You might want to look into it ?? stay safe
Yes I have wondered about chemical reaction w/ different types of plating/finishes. Prolly ok for stainless tho
Thank you.
Hi Ken. Looks like an excellent well made razor. Good work Russia. Thank you.👍😀
I see that Twig vanished from the back shelf😁
My wife liberated it and really liked it
That razor almost looked like a James Bond secret gun once you opened it up 😂😋😋
👍👍
Voskhod: the sharpest blades around! Besides Feather that is!😉
👍💈💈💈
250.00 outta my budget.. Thanks for sharing
At $204.52 - That razor is in a league of it's own.
Too rich for my wallet! (Just bought my seventh DE razor😳🤔😁!)
💈💈
Those boys over in Russia know how to make guns that are easy to use, clean and that last; razors should be a breeze. I don't normally collect adjustables unless their vintage Gillette, but I'm going to consider this razor. (That adjustable Pearl is just no good.) Keep the good content coming and please stay safe my friend.
👍💈💈
Ken💈💈nice shave. I was told this Taiga razor can be completely disassembled for thorough cleaning. The handle should be "tight" even when adjusting the number ring. Soap looked to work good. No issues equals a good result. Polo a plus. Great video, thanks. Enjoy!
Thanks Terry
It interesting that you mention the psycho. I just recently learned about that razor series. There definitely an interesting item. I saw the name and had to learn more.
👍👍👍
15,000 Rubles?! Is it made from a recycled Su-27? Beautiful razor, but that is some serious jack. Thanks for the video!
Thank you
My favourite youtube channel ! Great Ken ! cheers from Italy !
Great shave 💈 let’s see the EDC and kimber ?
👍👍. I’ve been carrying the Glock 26 the most often
@@kensurfs great choice. I love my S&W M&P Shield. Be safe out there.
Glad you found your coin Ken,
Thank you
Old Taiga had Open Comb option.....if they drop it and price similar.....NIET....better the REX....immediate satisfaction....no Russian roulette waiting for Boris mail. It certainly looks cool.....I missed it last yr. Cheers
👍💈💈💈💈
Go with Taiga. Like tge forests in both North America and Siberia.
In my mind I use Ticonderoga as my example for pronunciation. Ti(condero)ga... Taiga
👍👍💈💈💈
At $250.00 , I'll stick with my Slim Adjustable thank you very much !
woooow! ouch! me too!
Yeah lol, fatboy for me!
Haven't checked but I'm assuming shipping's not free so that could be scary too
At $250.00, you could stick with eight pristine Slims. Just saying... 😉
@@G_from_G TRUTH !!!
Cool stuff....
👍💈💈
You found your coin !!
Ken, thanks for video
Lol...thank you
Hi Ken,the emphasis in the word Taiga is on the last A,and n the Voskhod the K doesn't pronounced. 👍
💈👍👍
Ha ha funny how you lost then found that coin! A senior’s moment, man!
Lol
Thankyou Ken. About to buy this beauty on your recommendation.
“Taiga” Adjustable Razor from Russia...with Love. Cue Bond theme...
👍💈💈
Happy to see that you found that coin, by the way the gillette old type also had the same design with a "barrel" section that comes out of the handle
Hi Ken, Love your channel! Do you have any idea who sells the Taiga?
There is a link in this description 👍👍
@@kensurfs Thanks Ken! Keep up the good work. I so enjoy your videos. Stay safe, Fred
Nice video Ken. I was playing with my ZT while wathcing the video when you flicked the Benchmade :)
Your mustang needs to get included in a video too
👍💈💈
Did you take a poll of viewers "Psycho Razor"? great video Ken
That's cool
👍💈💈💈
I have an old Soviet era razor, of course idk the exact model, but its a 3 piece, closed comb, with rather short knurled handle.
I tried the Voskhod blades that came with it and they were no good, so I switched to a Gillette silver blue or platinum, and it worked great.
But I don't really shave with it often , the handle is too short for my liking.
Great shave Ken, always looking forward to your next video haha. Would you be able to do a shave with good Ole barbasol?
👍💈💈
Great video as ever Ken. I’m new to the double edge shaving game and only switched from cartridges in the last few months. I’ve definitely caught the bug, and already collected a Progress, Futur, Edwin Jagger and a Gillette Fat Boy! I would love to see a comparison between this and the Rex Ambassador and Pearl Flexi. I have a V2 Flexi and it’s my birthday next month so tempted to take the next step and order one of the others. That said I love the Flexi so if they aren’t that big an improvement I will hold out and go for something else to add to the collection. Any advice over which you prefer?
Hahaha been worrying about that 50 pence for weeks. Great video mate.
Lol👍👍💈💈
I noticed the new 50 pence piece is smaller than the 1973 50 pence pieces
Yes definitely smaller, back then a 50p piece kept you in sweets for a week with a tin of pop. Doesn't even buy a small chocolate bar these days so devalued to now.
After finding that 50p you should have used Lucky Tiger AS!😆
👍💈💈💈
Hi Ken, I just saw an ad for a cartridge razor from a company called Shavelogic and I do not see any reviews on it yet.... in case you want to look into it. It is a 5 blade cartridge, so probably not my thing.
As usual, a nice, smooth shave. So, do you prefer the Taiga, the Flexi, or the Rex?
I need to get a few more shaves with each of them. They are very similar
Hey ken,i really enjoy your videos and i wanted to ask you what do You recomend to start with wet shave.
👍💈💈
HomeLikeShaving never has the razors in stock when I visit their website, I have emailed them several times, they say it will come, that's months ago, I gave up.
💈💈💈
Hi Ken. Did you get the open comb base plate with the razor too?
No, just the one baseplate
It's not so much just replacement keys for the psycho razors, but Gillette only included one key for a box of 10 razors.
👍👍
You adjust between 2 and 3, can you explain what that numbers means? Sorry for stupid question, I am beginner.. Thanks!
Do your homelike taiga razors come with both open comb and solid bar base plates? Website doesn't mention open comb but seen youtubers with it...
👍👍
Yes sir!!!
👍👍
Could you review the Kai blades. Would like to hear your thoughts and opinions. Cool razor.
👍👍
With the bottom of this razor being removable, is this razor easier to clean and maintain than normal 2-piece razors? Also, is this technically a 3-piece, even though it opens like a 2-piece? Lol
Lol
To my personal experience, the Taiga is far the best safety razor ever produced. Not even the Rex Ambassador is anywhere near the quality and excellence of the Taiga. The Taiga safety razor beats all other safety razors all the way.
Yay the famous coin has been found!!!!
Lol
Ken (and others chime in) of the high-end adjustable razors - if you could own only one, which would you buy?
