    I've tried these in my Merkur 37c too and they are the business: sharp and smooth. I think even better than Polsilvers for me.

      They are great blades. I can't decide which are my favourites between these and Polsilvers. Cheers. Kevy 👍

    I have tried a Perma Sharp in my DE89LBL using Arko soap. It gave me a great close shave. Keep up the good work.

    In the "States" there is college football on Saturdays with Pro Football sometimes having a game on Saturday, but mainly the schedule is Sundays (Day and night), Monday Night and Thursday Night games. Most of the time on Saturdays, if we are free, we will go to a nice restaurant, do some shopping, catch a band or two at a local venue or catch a movie. Different things depending on the area. May go camping or have a cookout if it's nice. I have been watching all your videos from the first to this point and it does seem that your brush is really loosing some hairs. My first was a synthetic and after a year, a local soap maker in the town up from me had a Kingsley badger brush with her supplies and I bought it. I had looked at the boar brushes she had and my Grandfather did have a boar, but I went for the badger. That had to be around '97. It's a basic white resin like handle and it has maybe lost one or two hairs in that time. I washed it not long ago and it is soft as can be but, doesn't have the stiffness of the new one I bought this year. It still lathers like a champ thou. There isn't much bout Kingsley I have read about, it is made in the UK. Do you know if they are just like a low tier brush or what have you?

    When I use a pre-shave like the Proraso Green or Sandalwood, I let it the beard and skin absorb it for 5 minutes before I apply the shaving lather.
    The test of any blade is how it shaves on the neck with the XTG and ATG passes, and above the upper lip on the ATG pass.
    I'm not sure if any blades are going to be smooth on the latter, so if you get a close shave with no cuts above the upper lip after the ATG pass, then it's a good blade. I've read alot of good things about the Perma-Sharp. The cheapest prices I see for it are on Ebay, so I'm going to find out which vendors are reputable. Can you report back and tell us how many shaves you get with each Perma-Sharp Super? How long does the scent last on the Floid Black? From now on, I only buy aftershaves that have the longevity of colognes.
    Kevy - I wasn't sure that your videos were produced in Scotland. If I had known, I would have suggested this as your opening:

    @positivelySlime 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    The best shaves IMO are with 3+ days of growth. Stallion is one of my favorite RazoRocks. It performs incredibly well and the smoothness is unmatched. The only RR soap I put above it is Triple X, only because I like the scent better. I got the Stallion aftershave and the scent is waaaay too strong for my tastes. I have to remember to go super easy when I use it. My 830 seems to shed a bristle or two every time I use it, too.

    • @kevyshaves4109
      @kevyshaves4109  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're right, the 3+ days of growth are always great shaves. I like xxx too, love the scent on that. I need to pick up some Stallion soap and splash. I'll keep an eye on the 830. Don't want it shedding too many hairs 😀

      @kevyshaves4109  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      David Marshall I'm not sure if there is such a thing David! I've not heard of it anyway! Lol! The Boots tea tree and witch hazel works great and it's cheaper than Thayer's, but doesn't smell as nice but it's still a nice, clean, fresh scent. Kevy.

    • @davidmarshall6339
      @davidmarshall6339 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hello kevy I watch your videos in random order .
    I never used a slant , what's the point of this kind of razors, the way of shaving (angle, holding) is the same ?
    By the way i have three Gillette adjustable razors, if you want one i will give it with great pleasure (my way to thanking you)

    • @kevyshaves4109
      @kevyshaves4109  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The slant razors cut the hair at a an angle. This supposedly makes it easier for the blade to cut the stubble and gives a closer shave. You hold it just like you,would any other razor. It takes a bit to get used to but after a couple of strokes it's pretty easy to use a slant. I fine my Merkur 37C does a great job of giving a close shave. Hold onto those razors and sell one to buy more gear! Cheers. Kevy. 😀

Or do you prefer to support an English club? I'm a referee in the US, but I love to watch Liverpool matches on TV. Scottish leagues aren't televised here, but I would likely support Celtic or Hearts. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for promoting the hobby.

Liverpool are doing well just now. A referee? That's great! I enjoy your vids too mate 😀

    New subscriber here. Great shave today. I've been thinkin of tryin some new blades. And now I have an idea as to what. I too am a firm believer in the preshave treatment. If you ever get a chance to try Mickey Lee Soapworks lime preshave butter do so. The scent is magnificent . In answer to your question. During football season, college or university football is the saturday diversion. So friday nights, high school, saturday college, sunday pro. When it's not football season, you sundays wishing it was. And yes, some of us yanks like footie as well.

    Theatre Group + Wet Shaver = Sweeny Todd. :D Coincidentally, it is the weekend here even though I am watching a while after the video was produced and the answer to the question--nothing happening...Dullsville...I never do anything...
    In answer to your question about weekend activities in the US...In general;
    Spring: Baseball Season--local( schools, high schools & college as well as professional)
    Summer: baseball/softball season still ongoing, cookouts & Bar-B-Ques become typical weekend fare. Memorial Day( Late May ) is the Unofficial Start of Summer so that is really when the barbecues take off right through 4th of July. This is the hottest time of the year and weekends often include drives to beaches, lakes and farm ponds(which also raises the accidental drownings).
    Fall/Autumn: Baseball Ends, College-Professional-Local Schools begin Football AND Soccer Season concurrently..
    I am not a fan of spectator sports so I don't watch any of that stuff..I spend my spare time watching strange guys scrape their faces with sharp pieces of metal....

    This is the first I knew you were involved in theatre. I was for quite a few years back in Michigan and in California. "Hell Week", as we call it in America, is quite tiring and harrowing for sure before opening. Putting it all together with set, actors, crew, lights sound, for the finished product and then you see the magic.
