That soap looks great Cris, will have to try and get hold of some, the old spice is still in the glass bottles here in the uk but I know there are some strange rules around shipping aftershave now 👍🏻
Hey cris what a great shave i dont mind seeing the same razor over and over the content you put out is awesome cheers mate cant wait for the next video
+Jeremy Quinn that's it mate! Some people become frustrated when they can't lather a soap if they load their brush too heavy it's a nightmare to begin with!
OH wow, the stinkin' feckin dgg story, the "is there fuckin alcohol in here, I had to subscribe! lol Cheers n' beers, from Ontario Canada lad! Over 'en eeewt!! :)
Great shave Cris! I ued to wear Old Spice when I was in High school, and have been wanting to use an Old Spice inspired shave soap since I started wetshaving. I really want an original puck of Old Spice shave soap, but they can get pretty pricey on the Bay, and you don't know if it'll have the scent still. But I do have this on my "must buy" list for sure! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this soap. Have a great day buddy!
I have one of the Amack game changer brushes and I've yet to get comfortable with it. Is it just me or does it trap a lot of water in the base of the knot? It's like you get the brush loaded and you start lathering and "where'd all this water come from?"
+Brad S I like the games changer but I find it to be short lofted and quite narrow feeling. The boss knot has a similar feel but seems too work so much better! I don't use my game changers much now as even though i still like it it's nowhere near the best synths. I hope that sort of helps mate! The game changer was my first synth knot and it's still a good knot just not great!
I've tried 8 GEM razors and about 14 injectors and didn't like any of them. But then I'm picky with DE also... After trying about 35 DE's, I've settled with the Progress (both long and short) and Rockwell 6S.
I've been wanting to try that soap but I already have PAA oud spice and cold spices so I've held off. Let's see how much longer I can go before I give in lol. Great shave again mate 👍
Great shave again, with a sturdy blade. Taken back by how many shaves you've put that blade through, quite impressive.
+Harlan Smith and it's ain't slowing up!

+Electrical Education it's shit mate hahaha
Another Cut Above its bollocks..I really want the vintage old spice lime aftershave but not taking the risk of them destroying it at customs
I have several gem razors and I enjoy them all. Also enjoying the valet auto strop. 😎🇨🇦
+Paul LeMay never tried the auto strop! Very intriguing, would probably be an ornament to me lol
Another Cut Above it might be worth a try. Gives a nice close shave like a gem razor. Hope you enjoy your day 😎🇨🇦
+Paul LeMay it's finding one it good condition I could trust that's difficult
Another Cut Above So true. Etsy might be worth a look.
+Paul LeMay you know I never even thought of etsy hahaha

+Joshua Mclain thanks pal I'm glad it still cuts the mustard lol!
Another awesome shave mate 👍 glad to see you're feeling better
+Spencer Frankel just finished footy so feeing fucked now hahaha
Another Cut Above yep. I've just come from gym and done my shave. I'm absolutely exhausted
I can't load TTFFC The Beast like I hate it because it's extremely soft. 3-5 swirls of the brush and I have more than enough for a shave.
+Jeremy Quinn that's it mate! Some people become frustrated when they can't lather a soap if they load their brush too heavy it's a nightmare to begin with!
It really is. Load it too heavy and then you have to add a ton of water, then you add too much water. It's a vicious cycle.

Nice shave I love those single edge razor's 😎💈😎
+Second Kind Of Cool so so good mate!

+Gnomeo it's a very nicely done soap! I haven't smelled old spice soap but my mind tells me this would be it!

+nav m I'm still to try a 6s or 6c! I love my Mergress! The Merkur head is awesome! I'm reasonably picky, over 40 razors have come and gone lol

+Tony Tony cheers bud! What makes it worse is that it's only $24 at stray whisker! That's cheaper than buying from the States!
I watched a video ages ago were a guy used a blade like that for 30 shaves.He stropped it on an old leather belt.
+The Suffolk Shaver holy shit hahaha! This could take a while then mate! They really have taken me by storm.
Leo is making me a new york yankees custom brush right now how do you like his work? Everyone he's made I seen is beautiful
+jeff weaver I have 3 of his brushes mate and they are impeccable!
+jeff weaver you going natural or synth
If you want a kick ass handle for your GEM Rod George makes some amazing one off unique handles. Best kept secret and great prices.
+icerocket i don't think they work on twist to opens unfortunately.
Cris, what's the blade that you're using?
+Richard H ah yes that would be a good thing to mention lol
It's a Ted Pella PTFE coated blade.
That razor and blade is just scaring me now 😂
Nick I have both. Love them 👍👍
Nick check my channel. Just uploaded a shave with one :P
Nick I meant scary as in how long it's lasting him. 11 shaves is just nuts! 😋
+Spencer Frankel hahaha I had to put dots on it mate as my memory is fucked lol
+Spencer Frankel hey stop poaching my viewers hahahahahahhaha 😜
Gem...old faithful
