That Black Beauty - Feather combo took a few shots at you but you stood tall in the pocket and completed your three passes.
Great job bro!!!!
Ha ha. Thanks, brah!
That had to be an awesome shave , man! Beautiful razor. And you brought back the “Campañaaa!”
Ha ha 😂
Great review sir !
Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Fully getting into the DE razors. Nice gift from Jimmy G.
Yes, Jimmy G is the best!
I have a Black Beauty and really enjoy using it, all the old Gillette razors are really great.
Next stop, Willoughby! Yes, I enjoy them too!
Great shave, Tony! I must say that memories of my dad with a hacked up face always made me a happy cart user. Hope all is well. Best from Karl and Carla.
Hey Karl, yes, I love hove shaving brings back memories of our fathers and grandfathers. Send my regards to Carla 🖐🏽
@@averageguytested Hey, Tony, do you remember what products and razors your dad used?
I use the feather and the Gilette 7 o clock Black blades on my every shaves and works like a charm
#Gora
Tony that featherblade must be incredibly sharp for you to get weepers you're one of the most careful shavers I've seen. I actually missed you talking during your shave LOL have a good one
Thanks, Robert! It was pretty sharp and I had the Black Beauty dialed up to the most aggressive setting.
I'm a mild razor shaver. Too much blade gap and too much blade would leave me bloody too. But I am impressed with how you handled both. Nice clean and close shave. As we say, you can't get any closer than blood 😉
Truth!
We all slice pimples for sure but I think setting 9 and a feather blade was a bit more than was needed lol. Anyway I love the videos with vintage razors. Congrats on the black beauty
Thanks, brah!
i got the metal bottom one from 1970 but the nickel finish is a bit worn,however,it's shaves great. That 9 setting would be some major beard growth setting like 1 inch hairs.
Ha ha - I took one for the team!!
I own a super 84 adjustable, and I feel that setting 9 is possibly more aggressive than the muhle r41. It goes to show that everyone has different skin.
Agreed.
Definitely got to be careful with those feather blades, I once cut the bottom of my nose open and it was not pleasant lol
Yes, indeed.
Bro you need more water for the foam.
it comes from a guy who is mastered at traditional shaving.
Yes, I know I need more water. I’ll get it down soon. Thanks for your help👍🏽
Tony, that's a good looking razor on a good looking man 👍 Great shave mate
Likewise, brah! How’s your channel doing?
@@averageguytested haven’t been able to post in a while now. Work in the current environment has definitely taken a huge chunk of my time. But I will be back with some bangers soon 😉
Hi, have you ever tried alum block after shaving? Did you like it and is it good to use that type of product?
I’ve never used it, but people swear by it. It helps condition your skin to reduce irritation and sensitivity
On my 109 I only go up to 5. Anything higher and it's too much aggressiveness for me. The 109 is definitely more aggressive feeling then the Fatboy and Slim. However the Fatboy and Slim I noticed have a smoother glide across the face. I definitely prefer the older razors in that regard.
However if you haven't already tried it out the Rockwell T2 from my experience shaves closer but shaves just as smoothly as the Fatboy and Slim.
I will try the T2 - so many razors, so little time. :)
I heard on the fatboy u are supposed to loosen the bottom knob before you make adjustments . Do you know if you are supposed to do this with the black beauty too? I couldn’t tell when u adjusted it here.
Yes! You should open the head prior to adjusting on these vintage adjustable razors. There’s also a lock feature after you change the settings. Once you tighten the head you can make an additional turn to lock the blade in place.
Or even try cold fushion shave soap & aftershave
Good suggestions, thanks!
It's very tough to shave with de razor angle is very important and that should be 30 degree angle to be precise that's why I think cartridge razor is better but as I'm planning to buy Parker injector razor I hope that gives me better shave.
Angle is key with the injector razor, but on that Parker you can dial down the aggressiveness for a milder shave.
@@averageguytested indeed
Hi. I really need some help. I've been shaving since 2008 and I've been using Mach 3, then switched for mach 3 turbo. Recently I've started to get razor burns and bumps even if I use a brand new razor cartridge when I shave after 24 hours. I'm perfectly fine and get a very nice smooth shave if I shave after 48 hours but if I do it after 24 with only timy bristles on my face, i get screwed. Any idea what should I do? Thank you in anticipation.
You may be dealing with knock off or counterfeit blades. You can try Gillette’s new SKINGUARD razor, which is designed to reduce irritation and ingrown hairs.
@@averageguytested even if I did get the fake blades, I don't understand why the same blade would give me burns and nicks if I shave after 24 hours but it will work perfectly and not give me the tiniest of nicks if I shave after 2 days (with a little more hair on my face).
Do you still use the one blade core?
I haven’t recently. I should pull it out soon and give it another go.
Feather’s are rough. They’re good if you don’t have time to take a shower first, but other than that I think they’re too sharp.
Yes, they are as sharp as they come. Loved the shave tho!
There's a 4th adjustable called the Toggle which was the very first one. But the price for one goes for $500 - 1000 😹
Wow!
You got a cut. I tried De safety razor a week ago and cut up my face. Maybe I was applying pressure. Hey Tony I heard the Amazon brand Solimo makes comparable 3 blade and 5 blade cartridges that are great Mach 3 and Fusion Proglide 5 alternatives. Their prices are cheaper than Gillette. Gillette's cartridges are pricey even though they are excellent. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You’re right. I’ve never tried those razors. I should tho!
HI, what is the weight OF THE RAZOR
It’s pretty lightweight- it’s made of plastic
What a bloodbath
Ha ha
So i have a great idea for your next shaving video de razor with gillette 2 in 1 shave gel try it out and is it average tested average guy approved
👍🏽
so a shot for every time you say campania?
Yes!
Hey kid….. I have that one…. Picked one up for $9……new old stock…. At an online estate auction
Great find! I love it!
tiny bloodbath aside, great video n´shave brah....stay safe, cheers....Peter
Peter!! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Great razor 🪒 brah! Jimmy_G is the man 😎👍🏾 Nice brush 👌🏾
Thanks for the Soap and aftershave, brah!
Don't use aftershave on hair because it will make them Grey
Ha ha. I see.
How's it going brah? Cool 📹
What’s up, brah?
@@averageguytested it's all good brah, happy new year to you and your family 👪 ❤
Likewise 👍🏽
@@averageguytested 👍
What. No one does a count down shave? 9/7-5-3-2.
Is that how you do it?
Yes, it is! Start on a high number, then dial down on each pass, including "pick up time".
