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
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.
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
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.
Amazing the story of the razor key💪💪💪 I'll buy it once on your and Kevy 's review and also for the key story, completely different and disassembled from Ambassador
Great shave Ken, nice cooling finish to the shave. The razor looks lovely and well made. Will look forward to your next video. It will be great to see Monty. Have a great week. Very best regards Gordon.☺️👍👊🏴
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 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
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!
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. 💈🪒🍦💈
Very nice Video Ken 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 It’s funny was talking about you to Douglas from PAA regarding Cecil Hotel soap and such a high demand I said ohh yes I seen KenSurfs making a review about Soap and Hotel which I never knew about.. Anyhow take care & Be Safe Alan H
@@kensurfs 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼as always Ken great to see you and shaves mind you we have similar dens lol except I got too many WW brushes lol I’m getting one from Peter soon with Interobang Shape and flutes at the bottom Timberwolf Knot 25mm.. it’s my last WW brush for my 40th B-Day☺️ Take Care Alan H
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.
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.
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.
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 , 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
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?
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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
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.

My favourite youtube channel ! Great Ken ! cheers from Italy !
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.

Here's what is kind of funny I just got done shaving and I put my aftershave on and I almost lost my voice!😚

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...

There is a link in this description 👍👍

Forget the 50p piece get yourself a mustard spoon, ideal for apportioning cream or soap.

Yes I have wondered about chemical reaction w/ different types of plating/finishes. Prolly ok for stainless tho
Thank you.
Voskhod: the sharpest blades around! Besides Feather that is!😉

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.
Ha ha funny how you lost then found that coin! A senior’s moment, man!
Lol
Hi Ken. Did you get the open comb base plate with the razor too?
No, just the one baseplate
Ken (and others chime in) of the high-end adjustable razors - if you could own only one, which would you buy?
At $204.52 - That razor is in a league of it's own.
Too rich for my wallet! (Just bought my seventh DE razor😳🤔😁!)
💈💈
That razor almost looked like a James Bond secret gun once you opened it up 😂😋😋
👍👍
Glad you found your coin Ken,
Thank you
Hey ken is the muramasa on your list for review soon? And yes it's a pricey razor.
You adjust between 2 and 3, can you explain what that numbers means? Sorry for stupid question, I am beginner.. Thanks!
Hi Ken,the emphasis in the word Taiga is on the last A,and n the Voskhod the K doesn't pronounced. 👍
💈👍👍
Witch do you like better that one or the REX?
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
Could you review the Kai blades. Would like to hear your thoughts and opinions. Cool razor.
👍👍
Hey ken, have you tried nioxin system 2 shampoo?
I’ve been using Nioxin 1 lately
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

What is the maximum aggression level?

“Taiga” Adjustable Razor from Russia...with Love. Cue Bond theme...

Your mustang needs to get included in a video too

I see that Twig vanished from the back shelf😁
My wife liberated it and really liked it
I've wanted to try those Voskhod blades. Do you know if they are aggressive blades?
No not aggresive at all very smooth.
They are very sharp and smooth
@@kensurfs thank you!
Great shave Ken, always looking forward to your next video haha. Would you be able to do a shave with good Ole barbasol?
👍💈💈
Cool stuff....
👍💈💈
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 !!!
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
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
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
