    Another great time, Don. As per the Yaqi Excalibur vs Occam's Enoch; I'm with you, his responses to your queries, were; at best, evasive. A surefire way to tell someone isn't being truthful with you, is when they come up with a different excuse every time you present a question. His responses definitely fit that bill. First he claimed, yes Yaqi produced them, but upon his molds. When you pressed him to say what the difference was, he gave the "I'm driving can't talk now" excuse. Then, later, he responded "I'm in an HOA meeting, can't talk now", followed by "I don't like using talk to text". Promised to address this with you, and yet again, nothing. He completely ignored it. Don't understand why he didn't just design a bunch of handles for the excalibur. He could've easily sold those as upgrades to the excalibur. Sold them for $15-$20 a piece, and cleaned up. Probably would've gotten multiple orders from the same point of sale, as guys could easily change out the handles based on their preference that day. Long/short, knurled, diamond grip, brass, stainless, etc. Honesty is the best policy, and when caught in lies, it just sinks a business. Well, enough of the negativity, see you next week Don!

      Great recount of exactly what happened I'm more disappointed in him than anything. He is turning into a grifter and we have more than we need right now. Thanks for watching and a trip back to that discussion- All the best my friend

    Three things i love about your
    soaps : soft, the lather is out
    of this world and the scents
    are second to none. Real
    great soaps my friend. It is
    always a pleasure to have a
    chat with you. Take care.
    Hope Mary is ok. Bye.

      @MrDonXX  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dan both shaved well I found no real difference in both, the handle was a little better with the classic shave but it was heavy and after a few min, I wanted to put the razor down. Thanks for watching my friend you can see my review here - th-cam.com/video/bExza1zLKbE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=F-9X2SLReDVSBfwm

    now then , the what i would call “ original “ razor is the black lands vector and that is a very expensive razor the excalaber or raster as it was then known as is a knock off of that . very different material and build quality however the shave was pretty much the same vector was made with 316 stainless but it’s up there over $150 . i owned both but the knock off i gave away to a buddy and he loves it . have to say tho k you were spot on in the bowl stakes increasing the wall hight , that’s perfect keeps the lather in the bowl not over the edge 👌

    • @MrDonXX
      @MrDonXX  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for the kind words Paul I always compare the razor to Occam's Nano as you already know it's the one I use the most. it was a $45 razor and I thought it would be around for a long time but alas who knows what going to happen. So every now and then I'll try something new but I always come back. Thanks for watching

    Don love your products. I have a lot of soaps but yours is my number 1 on lather. Quiet man and Vanilla tobacco are my favorite 2 of all the artisan soaps I have. PAA, Stirling, Shannon soaps, HC&C, Elysian soaps, A&E and others I have are all fantastic, but yours are simply the best! Hope your wife is doing well.

    Badgers shed and the lather goes down into the brush a lot of times on me lol…Good shave I like Vince Vaughn in anything too lol

    • @MrDonXX
      @MrDonXX  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      One of the reasons I stopped using badgers in the shed and breaking them past the smelling stage is a pain. You don't have to soak them before you use them it's just many reasons. As for Vince, every move he is in is a better movie because of it. thanks for watching

    Great shave Don. That company would be Yaqi Shaving. And I believe you are talking about Luke Webster over at Classic Shaving. The other 2 you mentioned Bruce Weber and Matt Glass of Mongoose Razors were terrible. Luke Webster is terrible at customer service.

    • @MrDonXX
      @MrDonXX  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, my friend Dan told me about the craziness with Mongoose I don't even use mine anymore but live and learn I guess which is why when I found something that worked for me I just stuck with it. The best part is it only cost me $45.00 because I was an early bird in the Kickstarter. thanks for watching

    Nice shave, Don. It is so disappointing when someone in business behaves so dishonorably. Those bowls are a true success. You had quite a journey with that, but it worked out in the end.

    • @aomalle
      @aomalle 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, I don't understand why he didn't just market the handles themselves. Could've cleaned up. Design a few different designs, and features. Folks would have bought them to customize their Excalibur. Instead he went for broke and tried cashing in at the "new razor" $150 price tag. Basically sunk his and his business' reputation.
