I feel this so hard right now. I only found this wonderful video because I was searching "how to shave with the gravity straight razor", because I made a mess of my face. lol.
I am also new using shavettes, so I have been mostly learning shaving my cheeks and neck and finishing with safety razor for now. I am retired and no longer shave everyday. I find that shavette goes thru multiple day beards much easier than safety razor.
Shavette is my go to. 3 tips for you to make sure you get less irritation: 1) like you said, the heel and toe are key. It's made me more aware of the "heel" and "toe" with my neckline with a DE razor now too. take your time, and for nooks and crannies make sure you just use half the blade and keep the corner away from the valleys. For places like front mid chin below the lips or below the nose. Scoop, don't try to pull it through. 2) for regular places like cheeks, a good way to tell if you're using the right pressure is to make sure you can hear the crackling feedback sound of cutting hair. If you don't hear it, it's a good chance you're pressing too hard. I find myself doing this too often. The feedback matters more with DE's in making sure you have the right angle, but it's a great tool for pressure with shavettes. 3) For the first pass, it'll be about that 35/45 degree angle. For passes with less hair, that angle will decrease. Especially for the last pass on the cheeks. Otherwise, you might dig into your skin.
@@davec1768 I have been using my parker shavette every day for a little over a year now and i think i got really lucky with it because i actually did think they were for learning.
Im still young lol and I started with 5 blade razors. Gave me intense razor burns. And I wouldn’t be able to shave until a week after. So I went to safety razors! Love them so much! Then I was like why the heck not you know, bought my first shavette and I practice on my hands shaving my hair off my hands you know? And it worked really well! Just work on the angle you know? And get comfortable using that angle for the whole shave. I love your vibe and humor! I subscribed for that! And I love how daring you are trying a shavette for the first time! You did very good and love your content dude!
Hello Brian. Good to see you giving the shavette a go. I was really nervous about using them when I started out. Try practicing using it without the blade in. Just to feel comfortable holding it. Take a look at the shaving channel called SHAVE AND BUTCHER. He holds a straight razor like a bread knife. Using only one hand, he shaves both sides of his face. 👍
I picked up wet shaving almost exactly a year ago when I was 16 and I actually started with a shavette because I wanted to use it for my beard lines, I then picked up a Gillette New LC and found I cut myself more with that than the shavette. I also really like growing out a beard for 1 or 2 months and then taking it off with the shavette, I like the way the brush and lather feel with the beard and it’s kinda cool to see all the hair come off along with the change in appearance. I haven’t fully shaved in a few months but I think I’ll wait till the new year to shave again, starting the year right. I think my shavette luck was probably just because I was using derbys, though I know that’s not your style.
When I have the day off and can take my time there is nothing like a nice kamisori shave. I live in NYC if you get up this way I’ll show the good not tourist spots. Lol.
Im born in california to all those who served thank you for your service im proud to serve those served our😃🥳🎊🎉🎖🏆🏅🥇🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸 country american pows your never frogten
You should try some Facon Shavettes, I think their better quality. Their definitely a lot easier to use without insane amounts of blade exposure. My favorites from Facon are " the warrior", " the knight" and " the Maestro"
In my experience, if you hold the shavette the way you are suppose to, you are going to cut yourself really bad. Hold it the way it is convenient for you, so your hand does not block your view and you won't have any issues. You should have stretched the skin. When I don't stretch the skin, I get bad irritation later in the day.
You're a brave man my friend...I one day will try a shavette.. I have enjoyed razorine type razors..the razorock switch V1 is phenomenal..the razorock switch V2 is good albeit more aggressive.. The down side is they're aluminum so if you drop it it'll ding.
7:16 saw a forum post a while ago where someone posted commercial pictures or something like that, where the "professional" looking person really didn't know what he was doing
When you said "my nose was in the way" I remembered why I do not use a shavette: I must use glasses, so they too are staying in the way of the shavette (and on the nose...). Therefore I believe that cut-throat razors should be used, preferably, only by the barber while you are havin your beard cut...
I don't know about steak, but I remember hearing lobster was originally considered "poor people food". Also Wurstfest sounds wonderful and I've always wanted to go.
I remember talking with you a while back about using barbasol 1919 for the shavettes due to it's slickness. You'll have to let me know if you try that out!
Happy Friday Brian! I was curious what you would recommend for someone who suffers from shave irritation. I have been using a King C Gillette Safety razor and I think it is my technique. Any tips for shaving around the neck area?
Have you ever tried the Lord L6 razor? I've been watching your videos and want to get in to wet shaving but I'm trying to decide on a beginner razor to pick up. I heard the L6 was a pretty good one. I also watched your review on the Van der Hagen one and am considering that too. Love the videos man!
There are some guys on TH-cam who can do a three pass straight razor shave inside of 8 minutes or so, and a shavette shaver who does three passes in under 5 minutes, usually.
Have a great weekend friend. Wish me luck on job pursuits at University Health Hospital in NW San Antonio Texas. Looking to be in a professional services position by next year. Jeffery
I held my breath from 5:00 and passed out around the 7:50 mark. If I brought one of those things home - wife would divorce me on the spot as I am a frequent bleeder: 1. My interest in instructions is minimal at best. 2. My left hand and arm are only their as a counterweight. 3. My motto is: "I'm sure it will be fine..."
I live in lafayette indiana the funny part geofatboy lives in chicago ill and i have all my dads side living their uncles aunts and couisin all 1st degree
You are braver than I am my friend! I don’t think I will ever be brave enough to try using a shavette or straight razor. I remember one your last videos using those plastic ones where you gave your upper lip a really big slice, yikes! I do hope one day that Space Soaps does return, I missed out when Bob was making them a few years ago. Quite a few of the holiday soaps are starting to appear, are you going to pick up any this year? Macduffs “Bad Santa” looks great, Cherry, Tobacco Leaf, Oak, Vanilla, Whisky, Spices are the nots. Cheers SL!
@@nathanieldaiken1064 I honestly do not know. I am wanting to say yes. I think I remember him using a brush that looked like rocket, the handle (rocket) was all white. It would have been a few years ago when he a made a video using it.
If you end up liking it you should try the Parker Ptabk or Ptawh. They have three blade inserts that allow you to choose the level of aggression or blade reveal
@@EnriqueSanchez it all depends on what your most comfortable with. A Safety razor gives you choice, there are hundreds of razor brands out there and you can experiment with them. I personally use a shavette but the safety razor will never fail you and the blade are cheaper then the cartridge razors. A good starter in my opinion is the Wilkinson sword DE razor. It's cheap and mild.
You're a brave man. I will never use a straight razor. There are far too many good DE razors and blades to bother risking cutting my face into ribbons.

The best part about trying out different stuff is realizing how wonderful your "normal" razor actually is when you return to it.
I feel this so hard right now. I only found this wonderful video because I was searching "how to shave with the gravity straight razor", because I made a mess of my face. lol.
*intense flashbacks to the Lord shavette*
Oh no he's at it again
I’m a sick man.

great tips thanks a lot man. appreciate it
i use a traditional straight razor daily and can say with confidence that shavettes are terrifying
They’re so sharp!
huh i got a shavette to learn before getting a straight razor but i am now being told that shavettes are more terrifying.

Your right watch those heels and toes! I’ll stick with straight razors over the shavettes.
Cool video Sinatra Lennon greetings from Perth Western Australia I also enjoy watching ken surfs and geo fat boy shaving channels.

Always stretch your skin when using a shavette or a straight razor and you can use your hand for your whole face
you will get there. i believe in ya
Encouraging me to actually use my Holy Black shavette 👍😎👍
I don't know if I am crazy or very brave,but I just bought three shavettes from this company.
Because of this video.
Let me know how you do with them!
@@SinatraLennon yes sir I sure will.

Man I love shavettes nd straight razors, I can do my whole head and face with one pass each , nothing like it , great videos Sinatra!!!👍👍👍
Another great video and I actually think it would be cool to see you learn how to use a straight razor etc on your videos.
Just started watching today, seen a few vids/segments. Love the content, very informative and full of personality.
Glad you’re here!
"Took a shower, did my hair" would make a great t shirt.
Or as Pa Kettle say´s to Ma in the movie Ma and Pa Kettle at the fair: "THAT AIN´T NO SAFETY RAZOR MA" as Ma strops up her ax in the Saving Contest.
Hello buddy great video i enjoy it very much i hope you have a great weekend ahead

Dude I want space soap to return as well.
I bought one.. Ice planet.. it's all I have.
It's phenomenal.
Coming up next: Brian taking on the Feather SS loaded with a Super Professional blade.
When you said what am I going to use for an aftershave I immediately said the big green bottle and you pulled out the Osage and I went yessss! 😂😂
Winner!
Oh wow, you guys should meet at Pasteur Drug Store (34th street location) and meet Leon and see his amazing wet shaving inventory.

i dont dare use a straight razor or Shavette my Left hand simply won´t co-operate. Great fun shaving Video, stay safe....cheers...Peter
I remember talking with you a while back about using barbasol 1919 for the shavettes due to it's slickness. You'll have to let me know if you try that out!
Usually my barber in neighbourhood a professional shaved my beard maybe 1,2 slight cuts gave 5⭐

That sounds like the start of a joke. SinatraLennon, KevyShaves, and KenSurfs walk into a bar. Please keep that shavette away from your jugular.

I tried a Dovo straight, not near as close a shave S my Pearl Flexi, too much drama for Me.
looked good with the gravity! go for the chin/neck next time you got this!

It takes cajones grandes to use a straight razor. And, if used for manscaping, let’s hope they remain grandes!
Beyond meat is now out with Beyond steak..great video again
Both Kevy and Paul H are postman
Nice
I had a shavett, I used it 3 times and bled pretty bad so no more for me thanks , I'm drivin.

Nice shave. Geofatboy just came out with a video of Parker PTABK Adjustable Shavette Razor. Shavettes are not for me.
If you end up liking it you should try the Parker Ptabk or Ptawh. They have three blade inserts that allow you to choose the level of aggression or blade reveal
4:20 I think this replaceable blades of straight razor 🪒 is worth it than the old fashioned straight razor.
McSorley's is a great place !!!!
I still haven't made it there yet, but I will!
SinatraLennon, which blade gives you a smooth skin, straight razor, safety razor or disposable 5 blade cartridge razor?
Safety razor is my favorite!

which razors gives u smooth shaves against the grain in upper lips
plz name some razors
Sounds dangerous but great razor
My co worker said Which safety razor is better modern or vintage safety razor I said what works for you.
Indian Barber's use that kind of shavettes
The 21 club no longer agists anymore!
Dang it!
Why aren’t You taking those quick short strokes as usual 😆
Well, you're a braver man than I am; straight razors aren't for me 😂
Not first or second. How about wurst.
That counts in my book!
