HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mrs. H, and thank you for the flowers! I've noticed the same defect with the Q-Shave razor, but with three passes and "pick-up time" I still get a great shave. Hope you two have a wonderful day! Sincerely, Ossie
Happy birthday to Misses H ! As for the head of the Ming Shi (or the Qshave ) usually some problems are been solved by unscrewing the head of the razor and flipping the spring .
For the Ming Shi you can try put the spring upside down or/and pull out the top cap and put it back from the other side. This thing I did with my Qshave and now is perfect! And... Happy birthday to your wife! George
Hello. I did my first shave with a safety razor this evening. I bought a Ming Shi 2000S, with it I had a Voskhod blade. It works great! Thanks for all the inspiration, thank you for sharing! Best regards Marko
In first; Happy Birthday Mrs.H. I wish you many, many years in good health. Also a big thanks for the beautiful flowers everytime. And Paul, thank you for this video again. Go on the good work!
Happy Birthday to Mrs. H! I bought a Q Shave Futur clone on ebay for $15. I have to say, it's a great razor. I have had no alignment issues with it, and it shaves flawlessly. Thanks very much for sharing the video, Paul! Cheers!
Paul, Really enjoy this channel here in Northeastern Pennsylvania in the States. I've been DE shaving for almost two years now and find your presentations to be great and very informational. I've already accumulated a few soaps and creams, particularly from small artisan makers here. Keep up the good work and my best to you and Mrs H. and Happy Birthday!
Hi Paul- Great Sunday shave today; thank you! A very Happy Birthday 🎂🎁 to Mrs. H!! I hope your celebratory dinner is fantastic! Have a great week ahead and see you for the mid-week shave. All the best, Paul!
Happy 21st to Mrs H 😉 Birthday roses are wonderful. Nicely done Paul, even with an "uneven" blade, the shave turned out good. Stirling soaps perform way above their price, fantastic products. If only Lucky Tiger's scent lasted longer! It's good for maybe 10 minutes on me, but the face feel is sublime. I use the face wash and tonic before bed, very nice. Great video, great shave, have a great day with the Mrs. Enjoy!
Hi Paul, Ihave the same issue with the heads on my razor only its the Merkur Futur that out and the Ming Shi that level. I can only think its the springs causing the issue. Great video as always. Enjoy your day and happy birthday Mrs H.
Today I could hear the flowers singing Happy Birthday to Mrs. H (and the cat too... rsrs)! Enjoy your day, young Lady! Paul, great shave as always. I've ask you about the Orange Chill, so thanks for putting it into use! Just got my Stirling Executive Man and it is fabulous as well. Very nice soap brand. Cheers!
Lovely dedication happy Birthday Mrs H 💐 Hubby has the Ming Shi hasn't noticed any probs either 👍💈Will allow the lack of Lashento's in honour of Mrs H's birthday 😉🤣🤣 Hope you had a lovely day out 💈👍😊
Happy Birthday Mrs. H! I love that Stirling Orange Chill so much that I have the Bath Soap too to go along with the Shaving Soap.Its perfect to use after hot days like we have across the pond here in Florida! I love my Ming Shi 2000s & I consider it one of the best adjustables in Wet Shaving not to mention the excellent price point it sells for! Have a good week, Paul👍👍😎
Fantastic shave Paul, Happy Birthday Mrs. H and thank you for using the Ming Shi 🙂. I can still see you still have that spot on your chin from that concord blade overhang. I'm expecting some soaps and creams in the mail soon from Italian Barber. Proraso Red cream (Ebay), Palmolive menthol cream, What The Puck 3 pack, and Amici by Italian Barber.
I have the Q-Shave and it shaves great for me. I have no need to go to the highest settings but those I do use work great (usually setting 3). In fact, I will be using it tomorrow to continue my blade test of the Nacet (5'th use) Blade.
The pickups is my favorite part. Don't know why but it's satisfying once I can no longer hear the blade cutting the hair. Try the Osage Rub from the fridge sometime if you haven't done so already.
Hey Paul, I got Osage Rub a couple of years ago with your recommendation. I will also have to try it out of the fridge. I use it on my scalp when it's 106 degrees F (or 41 in C) in California. Feels so good sitting under the ceiling fan on high speed. p.s. you should get a ceiling fan for your room when you do the Hot & Spicy videos. :) Cheers, Mark
joe...I put my osage rub in the fridge...WOWZA!!! like sticking my face in an ice bath! I put it on then stuck my face in front of the window ac.....I think I turned into a polar bear for a second or two!
Slant razor...lol..both their Lemmon and orange from sterling are great..just finishing up the lemon version..coming from the owner of all threes versions of the original razor..good shave for a copy... Since you don't have air..you could lather a bigger area of your body and sit in front of a fan...lol..cheers!👍🇬🇧💈🐈🐈🐈🍺🍺🍺
Hope you had a good day Mrs H. Love this channel. Great shave. I work away from my home in South Wales and use the ming shi as my travel razor. Mine is out also but it has never bothered me. Always look forward to my weekend Shaves with the futur though. I personally don't think you can compare the two. They are different animals. You can do 100mph in a van and 100 mph in a ferrari. Same result but the experience will be different. Going to get that soap!
Hi Paul. Nice shave. My Ming She seems to line up real well. Seems to me somebody once said that you can put it on backwards as it will snap on either way. You might try flipping it around for a better alignment. Its worth a shot. Take care.
Boy, you have really tough skin Paul, lucky guy. If I tried to shave with as many strokes as you make and finish shaving with no lather, I wouldn't have any skin left.
Happy Birthday Mrs H. Interesting shave mate. I've had a Ming Shi and I wasn't impressed (even at $10 US) it has a slight 'smile' or bowing of the blade (the blade capture pressure across the length of the blade is uneven). Some people still love 'em though - mine went in the bin LOL. As for Stirling Soaps...they make some of my faves - 'Margaritas in the Artic' is awesome for a summer shave.
Great how you used a Stirling Soap this weekend, Paul! We met Mandi and Rod last Saturday at the shave meet in Michigan 😊👌 Their soaps really are world class; and they're lovely people too. They even knew my buddy Jason from his orders with them!😉 Have you ever tried TOBS Grapefruit shaving cream? It's like cutting one in half and smelling a real grapefruit! I had to buy a tub😄 Cheers mate 👍🍀
Hey Paul, do they still sell Nivea shaving cream where you live? It seems to not be anywhere in America for some reason. Maybe it was discontinued over here. Also, happy bday Mrs H!
Great shave Paul as always, i have a question, whats the point of using nivea lotion after lucky tiger? its like you are using two aftershaves after each shave?
I bought this razor about two years ago and I have plenty of issues with it. It's crap. Wherever you need precision, these cheap clones are no good. The black 7 o'clock blade is on my top tens. Hope you had an enjoyable go out on Mrs H's birthday.
The slant in the head means it was assembled incorrectly at the factory. You need to take it apart and rotate the inside baseplate 180 degrees and reassemble. Worked for me. There are better instructions on various forums.
Hej Paul, the 3 german adjustables = Vision, Futur and Progress. My own findings the Vision had the slightly closer shave compared to Futur (on same setting), except its size noit meant for me. The Progress knob nvr appealed to me, but I chose the Mergress, the finetuned attractive counterpart. IMO the Mergress is on par with the Vision, but its size more easy to handle, even compared to the Futur. The Futur looks futuristic, its name, but the Mergress is elegant with top shaveresults. What's yr opinion? Happy b'day to yr Mrs n the 2 of y enjpy yr dinner, leaving the kitchen cold... Cheers Achim+
I do like the look of the Mergress, but the only difference between that and the one I have the Progress is the metal adjustment dial, so can't justify getting one as yet.....but never say never..lol.....thanks Achim :-)
Sure, Paul. But as far as I know Eric Meir is even finetuning the Progress interior. I've used both, sure the Mergress shaves differently, but the price is different as well... Y n Mrs enjoy yr lovely summer
I thought you would have taken your wife to his Lordships country manor and get the butler to serve her, can you use the can of Barbasol original, it's got a red stripe, the sensitive has a green stripe, please only use your hand to apply it and not the brush as that's the way it should be done, Happy Birthday Mrs H from Jock Stewart in Glasgow.
Happy birthday Mrs H! Great shave! As I know you are a citrus scents lover, I recommend you a great EDT: Bvlgari Aqva Amara. It's a fantastic Sicilian mandarin summer scent that I love and that also has great reviews on the internet. Here's the scent profile: www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Bvlgari/Aqva-Amara-22675.html Cheers!
Really!? REALLY!?!?.....Instructions on how/when/why you should rinse the Ming Shi 2000s AND moaning-n-groaning about unevenness in the head/blade.....The Fools in the Peanut Gallery have really gotten hopped on hooch and cough syrup....They need to be bust upside da head.... :D
IT'S ONLY SHAVING! You can't say that. Next you'll be saying there's not a correct way to make a cup of tea. You carry on saying things like that the world will descend into anarchy and before you know it Planet of The Apes. Lol

Hi Paul, Ihave the same issue with the heads on my razor only its the Merkur Futur that out and the Ming Shi that level. I can only think its the springs causing the issue. Great video as always. Enjoy your day and happy birthday Mrs H.
the spring in the ming shi is substandard, compared to the merkur.
Today I could hear the flowers singing Happy Birthday to Mrs. H (and the cat too... rsrs)! Enjoy your day, young Lady! Paul, great shave as always. I've ask you about the Orange Chill, so thanks for putting it into use! Just got my Stirling Executive Man and it is fabulous as well. Very nice soap brand. Cheers!

Paul, you may have a rare slant adjustable!
Happy belated birthday by a couple of years, Mrs H. Great vid, Paul. I'm gonna have to try that soap.
Happy Birthday Mrs H :-)
Happy birthday Mrs H! looks like a good razor but as with the Futur i wish they would do something to make the handle with more grip!
Hope you had a good day Mrs H. Love this channel. Great shave. I work away from my home in South Wales and use the ming shi as my travel razor. Mine is out also but it has never bothered me.

PaulHFilms I love Thayers witch hazel too! I've tried the lavender, 🍋 and 🍑 😃👌👍 All amazing!
Love the Gillette blades. My favorite is the ones in the green package. I believe they say super stainless on the package.
Tanti Auguri di Buon Compleanno dall'Italia alla Signora H! My wife and I wish Mrs. H a very Happy Birthday!
Hey Paul, do they still sell Nivea shaving cream where you live? It seems to not be anywhere in America for some reason. Maybe it was discontinued over here.
Also, happy bday Mrs H!
Yes they do sell it here, at the moment anyway....many thanks.
I've got the Q-Shave and my alignment is fine.
Great shave Paul as always, i have a question, whats the point of using nivea lotion after lucky tiger? its like you are using two aftershaves after each shave?
Yes, you don't have to use aftershave and the lotion, it's just I choose too ...many thanks :-)

Ah I see, so it's like an updated version......very nice, would be interesting to see and try.....many thanks, have a great weekend :-)
Yes, the Progress is so to say the rough factory version, where the Mergress is flawless with the more appealing knob. Cheers.
where did you get that cabinet in the back holding your brushes? Looking at getting something similar.
It was a "Chabby Chick" cabinet, Mrs H got it online somewhere sort of french style, hope this helps :-)
Paul you do self haircut tutorial?
No, not done anything like that....thanks.
Così Paul sempre belle sbarbate e buon compleanno

Ailment’s a disaster here paul 🤦🏻♂️
Shame on you! I am now going to be the owner of a 1949-50 Gillette Aristogcrat Razor on yet another auction I won the bid on. I have got to STOP!
IT'S ONLY SHAVING! You can't say that. Next you'll be saying there's not a correct way to make a cup of tea. You carry on saying things like that the world will descend into anarchy and before you know it Planet of The Apes. Lol
I can see the Chinese one is off . That sucks . I would not buy one . You get what you pay for . The merkur is a German razor . Well built .
