Dude! That shirt!
Just discovered your channel and like it. You are now added to my favorites and am a new subscriber. I also like the nice wide shot of your shaving den as that adds interest to the video. Also, the fact that you regularly answer your commenters is nice.
Thanks, Norm! I appreciate the sub and feedback! I genuinely enjoy engaging with wetshavers, sometimes I answer back a little later than Id like to, life etc. I'm still new to content creation and always welcome feedback, have a good one!
Yes! I've been waiting for your next video!
The Fatip is a beautiful razor!
Tobian, you did it again! Another great & useful video. Up at 3AM watching this one.
😊 sorry for the late reply. Go to bed 😅
Great list and information. I do like the Merkur 34c and 37c. I have the 6s which shaves like the 6c. Some great razors under $50. There is no “Need”to spend more for a great shaver. Honorable mention - Spend a few bucks more and get into the Razorock GC - all SS.
Thanks Ronnie! I'll check it out 🙌🙌
I've been shopping around and didn't know where to start for my second safety razor. This video was so helpful thanks Tobin
🙌 awesome! Thanks James!!
Thank you, very helpful
Tokyo Rose is one of my new favorites
Great list! Nice shirt 👍🏾😎
Thanks Marc! I absolutely love this shirt! Have a great one!
Awesome vid Toby, thanks brother
Thank you!
That is a great looking top ten, Tobin. I like the looks of the Fatip and the Filament.
I have the KCG, DE89, and the 6c and love them all.
Thanks Lee! I absolutely love the looks of the Fatip. It's a truly elegant razor. Have great week!
@@Tobins_throwbacks you have a great week, too!
We love ya brother!!!!

Good video as always Tobin. I can count on that from you. You’re one of my favorites to watch
😊 thanks David! I try to deliver 🙌 hope you have a great day today, later I'm throwing ribs on the bbq😁🙌 any holiday that encourages barbecues is alright by me lol

Awesome! I'll keep an eye out for your review video! Thanks Sig! Have a great week!
@@Tobins_throwbacks It should be in one of the Odd-One-Out October shaves.
Good morning brother, great 10 and very interesting. I got the double open comb from PAA and the sloc from Razorock and actually find the Razorock milder. But both are very good razors. I'm not into slants, but again that is just my personal preference.
Have a great Labor day and stay safe. 🌎💈🪒
I want to try the sloc from Razo. Is the sloc a double slant? It's a single right? And thanks brother! Throwing ribs on the BBQ tonight 🥳🥳
@@Tobins_throwbacks the sloc is a double open comb 😎Have a great evening with your bunch 💈🪒🌎
@@Tobins_throwbacks sloc is no slant!
Nice choices of razors!
Thanks Matt! Have a great holiday!
@@Tobins_throwbacks thank you!
Great vid, Tobin, and excellent list! I've recently picked up the PAA Meta4, but really curious about their double open comb lineup. The original doc looks good! I have had a run of bad luck with Merkur, as my travel Merkur and the replacement heads I bought both misalign the blade. I was about to give up on Merkur but took a leap of faith with the 34c and have been pleasantly surprised. Looking to get the 37c now (which I think is the slant version) . Epic vid! Have a great day! 👊😁
Thanks James! The Meta 4 is amazing, if you have the extra dough grab the Ascension over the DOC. It's a higher end newer version of the DOC. The DOC for the price is one hell of a razor though. I have had a few issues with some of the Merkurs too.
Have a great weekend!
@@Tobins_throwbacks Thank you for the recommendation! Will definitely consider the Ascension!
Great list. I have to stop watching these kind of lists, I can't afford it.
Thanks Scott! And lol, I know EXACTLY how you feel 😁🤣🙌🙌
Hi Tobin, great and unterstandable selection. Having a quite extended collection I only had two matches (Merkur CC, King C. Gillette). In my opinion the PAA El Fantasma and the Fasan shave noticeable different. One of my choices in this category would be the aluminum Razorock Lupo. Another great option is the new milder Version of the Greencult razor from Austria (0.65/0.1mm, stainless steel, CNC). Chris (IAMCD) showed the more aggressive version (0.95/0.25mm) of the Greencult in one of his videos. I followed your recommendation for the PAA Solar Flare as PAA's softest brush - you're right, the size and balance are perfect too - Thank You !
Thanks Artur, the selection we have available is maddening lol. So curious, you have a double slant fasan from the 1930s? Or did you mean the Fasan Twist? I had a Fasan but then sold it when the price was right and have regretted ever since. I need to check out the Greencult, I've heard others talking about it and loving it
And glad to hear about the Solar Flare, I just used it again the other day, I'm already looking forward to whatever it may be that Doug has in mind next 🙌🙌 thanks again!
@@Tobins_throwbacks Hi, my Fasan is the "Der doppelschräge Rasierapparat Fasan" with the insane torsion, got it as NOS but I don't know wether its from the 30ies or the 50ies. There was also an East German copy of the Fasan "Trumpf Schrägschnitt". Other less known German slants are the "Golf Schrägschnitt" (unplated aluminum) and the "Mulcuto Schrägschnitt". Living in Germany you can still find them in the wild. Just last month an older neighbor brought the holy grail for a German wet shaver - a travel set with a gold plated Apollo Mikron. Saw Fasans quite often on the German ebay site.
@@Tobins_throwbacks The Solar Flare is now my most used synthetic brush - the softness is unbeatable. My favorite brush is still the synthetic Mühle brush (23mm "Silvertipfibre" 33 k 256), it simulates a badger brush almost perfectly - better lather release and less wasted lather remaining in the knot. But it is not the softest or the most dense brush, so it took a while to understand this brush. With the strong dollar at this moment the Greencult is now more affordable than ever. There should be a kind of "random picker" for the gear, it takes every time 10 minutes to make a decision for the combination of razor, blade, brush, soap and after shave.
If you have a IPhone there is a shaving app for that, I don't have an IPhone but a few guys I know love the app. I still need to add that Muhle fiber to my Arsenal
Nice collection and choices. I have a couple of those. I know and understand your feelings about Amazon but the Gillette heritage is a great option. I’ve been looking at the plastic PAA but wasn’t sure about durability. Thank you
Thanks Mike, with a little TLC the Filament has the potential to out live us both. Have a great holiday today!
I ordered the Rockwell 6C and some Paraso white for my first try at wet shaving. Going to try shaving my head too.
Prices are going out of control though!! Seems everything is 30-100% more then videos from a year ago
Going from a Mach 3…wish me luck. I might look like I got into a knife fight!
You'll do great! Start off with plate 1 or 2 and work your way up. Light pressure, 30 degree angle and be patient with yourself. It takes a few attempts for most guys to get the hang of it. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help and don't hesitate to send me a direct message on Instagram. Thanks for for watching and good luck!
Tobin, I am new to DE Safety Razors, as of Oct 21, 2023 !! With that first razor, I cut myself up really good, blood everywhere! It did not matter, as I was convenced that DE Safety Razors were the way to go !! So in November, after some research, I bought the Merkur 23C (Closed Comb) and 25C (Open Comb), and with those two razors, the blood shed was put to an end !! I can live with just having those two razors! In this video though, the Merkur 30C Classic Double-Edge Safety Razor with the Black Resin Handle has really caught my eye, as I love black !! SILLY??? Maybe so, but I can't help it !! I have a question though ....Can the heads be interchangeable ??? I ask, because I really love the 25C (Open Comb) !! But maybe you have a better suggestion all togeather !! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL TOBIN !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !! Ephesians 1:3
Hey! Absolutely! You can put the 25c on the black handled one. I believe it's the same head as the 23c. But that black handle looks sharp and is less likely to slip out of your hands. I LOVE Merkur! Great shave, affordable and built to last! I'd recommend the Merkur Progress too. If you buy it in Amazon you can return it if you don't like it. The Progress is adjustable. Also, you may like the Edwin Jagger DE89 or the Muhle R89. Both are similar to the Merkurs.
Ephesians 1:3 Spirtual gifts right? Or is that where Paul was talking about Redemption through Christ? Either way, I love all of Paul's letters.
Merry Christmas!
@@Tobins_throwbacks Ephesians 1:3 is just saying how we are blessed in heavenly places!
Great information, THANK YOU A TON !! It excites me that the heads are interchangable, that is AWESOME !! I will now research all your suggestions, and then make my dessision !! THANK YOU AGAIN, SO MUCH !! Ephesians 1:3
@@Tobins_throwbacks And Yes, Merry Christmas!
Tobin, I just bought the last idem of my shaving setup .... The Variant Adjustable Parker Graphite Double Edge Safety Razor ...I don't know if you have any experiance with Parker DE Razors, but I took a risk in buying it, based on some really good reviews that I read about the ... Variant Adjustable Parker Graphite Double Edge Safety Razor ... and it is returnable if I do not like it . If I do like it, then this is my setup that I will have to work with for the next several years .....The Merkur 23C and 25c, The Adjustable Parker Graphite Double Edge Safety Razor, Fendrihan Black and White Synthetic Shaving Brush, Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades ,100 Count, and Stirling Shave Co - Executive Man Shave Soap ... I really believe that my shaving future is now a very bright and enjoyable one, with the choices that I have made here! Your insights on this matter would be greatly apreciated !! If all is good, then I am done with my shaving setup! I do know that there are preshave and aftershave products that I do not have, but those things have never served me very well, with my skin type, other than making me smell good, and I have Cologne for thet purpose.
@Ambassador-For-Christ In my opinion The Variant is Parker's best razor! Currently, I'm my den I have their slant. I gave my Variant away a few years ago to a new Wet shaver. I have the Progress from Merkur. The Variant is the same razor as the Progress. Exactly the same when it comes to the heads dimensions and shaving capabilities. I think you have set yourself up perfectly! With the Variant start on a low setting, then work your way up until you find your perfect setting. My advice, be patient with yourself and the razor while finding the perfect setting. Let me know how it goes 👍👍🙏
Well done top 10 Brother. I don’t own a FATIP razor. Do they make a mild one?
They do! I'll send ya two great options to check out!
And thank you!
Have you been in Germany ? You have a picture from St.Pauli on your wall ! Greetings from Germany !
No, but I wish I had. I studied German for 3 years and have wanted to travel there since I was a teen. A good friend of mine in the shave community lives in Hamburg (Mike) He and I mail each other gifts back and forth. I even have a Hamburg ball cap🙌 Where exactly are you? I live in Oregon
@@Tobins_throwbacks I'm from Berlin !
