the scent of this barbershop soap is very nice , yes with talc as the time a was young and went to the barber to cut my hair , and that scent remembers me my youth

Brilliant shave Paul. I know you didn't really enjoy it, but it was superb to watch, and I loved it. Inspired to do the same. Please do more like this :)
Scary shave Paul 💈🤣 Gavin used his recently and def prefers his DE razors! Beautiful flowers Mrs H 🌺 Hope you enjoy your chicken. We're having fish cakes with homemade chips 👍 Have a lovely rest of Sunday both 💈🌺💈
You stuck with it and got through it, which is more than I probably would have done. I've heard that half DE shavettes can be rough because the blades are so thin and sharp. I was gifted one but I've never tried it. Thanks for the enjoyable video and tell Mrs. H that her floral arrangements are top shelf!
A different Sunday shave for sure. One thing your "straight" razor shave did is to make me thankful for DE safety razors. I do admire folks who enjoy those old school shaves. That's what traditional shaving is all about. Close, comfortable shaves and enjoyment. And some colorful flower displays of course! Thank you, Mrs. H. Enjoy your "Southern" fried chicken and chips! I know you are looking forward to Wednesday's shave 😊 Me too.
Hi Paul, interesting how you used that particular Shavette, gave me a few ideas, don't know how you managed to go across the grain though! You're right, You have to use this type of razor every week to get the hang of it, I do, for me it's 'Straight Shave Sunday' weekly. They say once you have got 100 Shaves under your belt you are competent. All the best
Grest shave Paul! I have the Dovo shavette and I will not use DE blades in it, but rather Personna Hair Shaper blades. they are longer and mimic a straight more realistically. My favourite Shavettes are my Feather Artist Club folding and Japanese style with the Feather Pro Guard blade. My goal is to shave with a shavette or straight at least once a week, usually on weekends when I have more time. I hope that all is well. Enjoy your upcoming week. 💈
Great shave Paul! Stirling’s Barbershop is one of my favorite scents! You inspired me to breakout my Feather DX folding shavette that uses Feather’s artist club blades. It’s a smoooooth shaver 💈 🪒
Hey Paul great shave with the shavette. I've looked at a couple but haven't pulled the trigger.😂 My SOTD. Razor - Christopher Bradley Cooper with a PAA blade second use. Soap- Wholly Cow Scentrophy ( my very first shave soap) Brush - DS Cosmetic 30 mm Coffee G7 synthetic. Aftershave splash - Masters of Soap Most Wanted Balm - Invictus. I'm a huge fan of the old school barber scents. Can't get enough of them. Good on you for keeping on with the shavette. I would have given up at the load blade part. Please let Mrs H know she always does a great job with the arrangement. It brings a nice touch. Take care.
Hi Paul- Great shavette shave; thank you! You did a very nice job with the Dovo shavette; kudos on the shave! Lovely flowers from Mrs H; many thanks, to her, as always! Enjoy your Sunday and have a wonderful week ahead. Be safe and be well. See you on Wednesday for the mid-week shave. All the best, Paul!
I enjoyed this shave. I picked up by a shavette about 6 months ago. Like you, its not my most comfortable shave. Although im getting better. The soap you used. I really been wanting to get a few sterling soaps. I no id like the one you used. I like the barber scents. Have a great day
Part two of the double feature, nice shave Paul🪒🪒 The Dovo shavette took no prisoners but not too extreme. Thank you Mrs H for the exquisite flowers this morning, always enlightening. Top tier Sterling products, great stuff. SOTD: PAA Cube, Sterling "Spice" soap/splash/EDT(closest to Shulton there is IMO), Timeless "Scalloped" SS razor w/Lab Blue blade, RazoRock "400" aluminum brush, alum, witch hazel and AV 5in1 balm to finish...wonderful. Good go there Paul, I find that type razor awkward in use, but I don't practice much either. Great video and results to be fair, thanks. Enjoy the chicken/chips.
Great shave Paul thanks for stepping out of your comfort zone. I personally think you did a great job with the Dovo. Can't wait for the next shave see you on Wednesday.
Hello again Paul. You did well with the shavette. I find that I have to make the lather wetter for a shavette and straight razor shave. I found that the lather is too sticky as a normal DE lather. Your face looked really smoothe and shiney after the shave. Even before the aftershave and balm. Well done. 🏴👍
Great Shave Paul, braver man than me... SOTD Taconic Lavender Soap, Maggard Synthetic 30mm brush, Fine Shaving Bowl, Treet Platinum blade, Rockwell 6C Gunmetal, Dr Teal's Eucalyptus Witch Hazel, Omega Eucalyptus Balm, Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male EDP
A bit of a challenge loading the blade on the Dovo shavette. Very nicely executed. From my perspective, you were nearly done after the first pass! The shave matched the red tulips today 😄 Have a splendid week ahead!
I would suggest the Japanese grip for going against the grain and of course making sure the lather has a lot of water so the blade can glide ,it has to be relatively runny not thick like yogurt .
The long blades with the black carrier would likely be easier to handle. Unfortunately those blades are not always available. Thanks and try sometime the long blade.
Another great looking shave Paul, a bit of challenge today with that bare blade razor! not something I will be getting into, the DE/SE rabbit hole is deep enough and besides my wife doesn't want to see me use/collect straights but doesn't mind me collecting a "few" DE/SE's...lol👍🤠
Wow Paul, that was intense, I’d need a blood donor on standby if I’d try that shave.

Thanks for the demonstration Now I am going to have to dig out my Dovo and see if I can remember how to shave with it. Been thinking about giving the Japanese razor a try also.
@@PaulHFilms Have to admit the Shavette gave me a really close shave, but I ended up with half dozen nicks. Didn't bleed too bad and by the time I was finished I couldn't even notice them. Normally I stick with my safety razor because I am in a hurry and can shave in 5 minutes without butchering myself while the Shavette took me over half hour to shave. Its been over 10 years since I tried shaving with my Shavette and the only blades I could find in my stash were the full-length blades. Spent half the day looking for my Japanese razor but could not find it. I found my straight razors, strop and sharpening stones, but no Japanese razor and not I even among my knife collection. Maybe I sold the Kamisori and don't remember because that would have been over 10 years ago also.
Oh dear I’m new to this. But won’t attempt a straight razor not just yet 😂 no I will stick to the DE for now Keep the videos coming Paul Shaving Fox TH-cam
Very nice! I haven’t watched for quite some time but this shavette shave triggered me to have a look again :) I picked up straight razor shaving last spring and am really enjoying it. And your video actually gave me some ideas on how to attack my jawline because it’s quite a challenge getting that smooth since it grows from chin to ear for me. You did it like it was pretty normal to you so I’ll give that a try next shave. Btw, it’s good to clean the blade again when you switch side of the blade so you won’t be smearing lather on your face again with the razor ;) hope you have a nice Sunday!
Great shave Paul, no way no how will I ever use one of them I will stick to DE only it would be a blood bath for me, Stirling Barbershop is a great scent take care and have a great week ahead 😀👍
Thanks Mark, yes not my favourite method of shaving, but like to keep my hand in, great scented soap isn't it, all the best, and have a great week ahead too 🙂
One advantage would be no buying blades, just honing the straight on a leather belt, but they are two different kettles of fish when it comes to shaving, even though the outcome is the same, plus yes own preference plays a big part.
Paul you made me nervous through that whole shave. If you can handle a shavette I know you can handle a straight which is way more forgiving. I use a straight but I won't tangle with those shavettes. Good man.
Paul be careful with shavette...before some days i used a DE blade called matgicol from Ali i had extremely irritation and shaving burn after shaving so i threw it to the rubish and next shave will be with gillette 7 o clock which i use normally with most of my shaves ,people take care of shavettes dont risk and have lot of injuries...take care all.We love you Paul.
Thank you, I always try to be careful, doesn’t always work lol. You have to watch some razors which are so cheaply made, they can be dangerous. All the best. 👍

I’ve tried for years to get a straight down but I just can not wrap my brain around it. I’ve watched people like JJ Shaves whip one around his face like it’s nothing but me…can’t figure it out. I’m just gonna stick to the good ol DEs.

Nice for the most part. Best advice from Blackland use a favorite blade with a new razor for 5 plus consecutive times to get accustomed. Good advice.

I am happy to see that not only I have problems with cuts. I think the soap and leather was not the best one. This could be also reason.
Yes, that is the risk with shaving, especially when you are not regularly using a certain razor etc.
Great video Paul
Thanks Andy.
How's the weather up there? Enjoying your video from the States. Hope all is well another awesome shave.
The long blades with the black carrier would likely be easier to handle. Unfortunately those blades are not always available.
Thanks and try sometime the long blade.

Looks good - do you think you'll get as many uses out of this blade as a DE?
Not as many as DE, as it only has one edge
Good morning, sir…. 0:08
Good morning 👍
this was a carnage :P
I'm still here 😂
What advantage if any does a straight have over a DE shave, or is it down to preference?

Beautiful flowers, Mrs. H.🌹Good shave, Paul. 🪒Clarets aside, you were much faster with a shavette than I would be. I'll stick to the DE razor. 💈
I’ve got the brush & I love the soap. Don’t have the nerve for a shavette though. Just getting it loaded would wear me out!

ive just used a cut throat for first time, and now i look like i’ve dived in a blackberry bush head first 🥺
I just don’t have the b...s to try a shavette any more!😮
Stretching the skin is a pain. I just prefer the feel of de razors.
