Monday Monologue: Farm House North-Citrus+Fir
Farm House North's "𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴+𝘍𝘪𝘳" is one the list of soaps I'll stop to sniff if I'm in my den. From the moment I sniffed this soap (and solidified when I used it), I've been in love. This is such a great set. The scent is just absolutely delicious and perfect for Christmas and for Winter. Their base for their soaps is soooo good: tallow, kokum, and shea, plus some other skin goodies. I love the scent strength, too. Their aftershave milk is where it's at, too. It's a goodie-laden viscous gel that absorbs quickly and feels fantastic. You may be able to tell I like this stuff, lol. It's available now, so scoop it up before it's gone!

Elysian Soaps- Constantine First Impression
Переглядів 134День тому
This is a first impression video using this set. The set was sent to me for free to review. You all know I'm a huge fan of Elysian. I have yet to encounter one of their releases that I don't like. This particular one is outstanding; you all are gonna love it. For starters, I love the subject matter. Emperor Constantine was Roman Emperor from 306-337 A.D. He was the first emperor to convert to C...
Pure Rebel-Fresh Shave First Impression
Переглядів 15014 днів тому
Hey everyone. New artisan alert! Today, I use a puck and pre-shave oil made by a new company called Pure Rebel. Based out of Forked River, NJ (yes, that Forked River), the company was started by a barber named Ashley. She reached out and offered to send me a free puck and vial of oil, but I offered to buy them instead. They are not expensive at all, and I definitely wanted to support a newer sm...
Let's Use Rockwell Shaving Products
Переглядів 17321 день тому
In this video, I use all Rockwell products. Everything in this video was purchased by me. Rockwell Razors just hit their 10 year anniversary (congratulations!). Their puck is a glycerine base and lathered up extremely easily after a 6 minute bloom. The scent is pleasant and different for a Barbershop. It's powdery and sweet, but has some citrus and a hint of licorice. The 6C is a wonderful razo...

I thought I'd do a video today using all Fine Accoutrements products. I honestly have been wanting to do a side-by-side using the Marvel razor vs. the newer DE5. Absolutely everything in this photo and in the video were purchased by me. Nothing was sent to me for free. This scent is probably my favorite of theirs I own, and the only one I have by Fine in puck form. I'll be sure to post the vide...
American Vintage-Classic First Impression

Hey everyone, new artisan alert! This is a company called American Vintage Soap Co. Their label is the first thing that got my attention; they look pretty badass. I reached out to them and have gotten to know the owner, Robert, to a pretty decent degree. He's a genuinely nice guy and a fellow wetshaver. I decided to do a first impression video using their "𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤" scent. I purchased it as well...

oday's shave and video are dedicated to my nephew, Isaiah Santospago. He is at this very moment back in training and on his way to earning his Airborne red beret in the U.S. Army.

I was contacted out of the blue by the Zomchi company to review their Noble Silver DE Safety Razor, so first and foremost: this was free to me. I've seen others reviewing it and was honestly thinking of trying it out; the price tag is a mere $24.99. But honestly, I was thrilled and flattered they asked me to review it. So I said yes. I also wanted to be sure to use a soap that has been re-relea...

Now this was an interesting shave. I was so excited to get this, and bravo to Will, his Mom, the fine folks at @barristerandmann and @chiselandhound for their obvious hard work to make this release happen. Obviously, our local Salem is famous the world over for the witch trials, but witch trials actually occurred in several places, some as far south as Virginia. It's an unfortunate but fascinat...

Let's Use Furbo Shave Products
Переглядів 1532 місяці тому
In this video, I use Furbo Blu, an homage to Flöid Blue. This is a vegan imported Italian brand that I picked up at The Shave Supply. The scent on this is absolutely incredible. I enjoy how slick the pre-shave gel is. It is not mentholated, although the soap is lightly. The splash has quite a bit, and the balm is light like the soap. It's an excellent shave all around. *Everything in this video...

I use the latest presidential release from Strike Gold Shave. "DJT" is inspired by Louis Vuitton's "L'Immensité", an EdC I've actually had the pleasure of smelling. This scent explodes with the splash and EdP; it is incredible. Added bonus: my wife loves it too. The base of this soap is fantastic. This made a yogurty lather that evolved in the open air. Post shave is awesome too. Thanks Strike ...

Their Old World Tallow formula is incredible: lathers like crazy, plenty of slickness and cushion, and a post shave feel that lingers. The scen...

Shave Dad/Strike Gold Shave 3 Ring Circus First Impression
It will be good to try a nice quality puck which comes recommended by John, especially since those pucks from Mr Fine are long gone. So, I ordered the Fresh Shave and the Eucalyptus ones by Rebel to try out. I will be sure to soften the puck a bit before twirling- don't sweat it John, your second lather looked most excellent. Jersey Shore Barber Supplies has a number of popular brands showing at very reasonable prices.
First of all, go ahead and shave the stashe,,,in fact go right back to your service days and go clean for your wife. She'll love you looking like that 25 yr old coastie again. That's my 2 cents worth. John intrigued me sufficiently with endorsement and scent description that I went to check out Elysian Soap Shop's new Constantine (already sold out as of this writing). I know, I know about the rising cost of scent oils. However, this cottage industry maker has priced her soap at the high end of the range at $25. Seems like only the French price higher. I think perhaps it's time that some viewers who are the consumers begin to speak up on prices. What is the cost to produce and package? The profit margin? Is it 100%, 200%, 300%? More? Producers might consider that consumers will find it easy to pass on aggressively priced products, whether endorsed or not.
Saying that a soap is one of John's favorites and on his best of the year list is a high compliment. That did it for me, plus I love the idea of a combo of splash and balm. That's a new concept for me so I had to just go and order both. Counting on you John! But no worries, everyone swims at their own risk in these waters. Speaking of waters, I love the added coast guard culture bro. I always like looking in on Cape Cod Wet Shaving. Btw: the prices for these items are reasonable, and the back story about the maker is quite interesting too.
That's so cool, glad you took the plunge! (Pun intended) I really hope you enjoy it, I think you will. Thank you so, so much for the support!
Great shave and review John! That sounds like the perfect holiday set. Love the curtain in the background!🎄🎅🏻
Thanks as always, Joe. 🎅
ahhhh thank you so much John! This is amazing. That's aa great description of the after shave milk-gel too, as that's exactly the hybrid it's made to be. Your O'ahu photo story made me laugh as that is exactly what it's like making and selling stuff.... it's never the ones you think will be a hit that are the biggest hit 😂Happy Holidays to all!
Go figure, right? Thanks for taking the time to watch. Merry Christmas to you and the family, too!
Man that’s an interesting scent profile. Hard to beat a tallow base soap. Great shave and shave that stash, make mamma happy. Have a great week.
Lol, thank you. Will do. Have a great week!
Great shave brother! I need to grab this set!! Sounds amazing
It's amazing! Thanks for watching, dude.
Great shave and review John! I picked up a sample of the EDP a couple weeks ago. Another masterpiece from Shannon!
Thanks, Joe!
You whipped that lather real good brotha… have a great weekend
Haha, thanks dude. You as well! 🤝🏻
I have got the pine and pepper and really like it. Also as mentioned before I am really excited about the cap code razor collaboration with Alpha. Great spect and going to get both base plates. Really fantastic looking design. Love your history lessons.
I absolutely love the Pine and Pepper. Great one. Thanks for the support! And the compliment. 😃
Nice shave! I love my Rockwell Razors (6C, 6S, T2 and their shave cream and balm). Enjoyed watching your video and subscribed today!
Thank you so very much! I appreciate the support. Happy Thanksgiving! 🍗🦃
Thanks for the kind words, John. Wishing you, your family, and all of your viewers a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving, Ethan!
AWESOME. HAPPY THANKSGIVING. LOVE N BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL U ALL
Love you, Aunt Gloria. 🥰
Nice video John. The 6C was my first DE razor. I don’t like overly aggressive razors either and I was fairly regularly using it with the 5 and 6 plate and didn’t find it overly aggressive before I eventually gave it to a coworker starting out.
That's interesting. I've never gone above 4. I'll need to bump it up. Thanks for watching, Phil!
Great shave, and got myself signed up for the alpha razor collab you are doing with Steve. Looks like it is going to be an amazing razor!
Thank you so much for the support! I hope you like it.
Got to stay that the best part was the storytelling. And yes, I am a new DE razor user who got some Proraso Green to round out ordering a synthetic brush from Fendrihan.
Awesome! Welcome to wetshaving! I'm glad you liked the stories, I hope the shave was ok too. 😂 If you need any pointers or have questions, please feel free to message me on Facebook or Instagram, or here if you'd like. Happy Shaving!
Always glad to see a new vid by John up at the Cape. So genuine. Did y'all hear him when he said that he PAYS for everything he reviews? What a refreshing concept! Nobody pushing products for freebies here. Maybe some other content creators should make the same pledge? Pucks are fine with me, when they can be found. Cutting some of the ever-rising prices for soaps is another brilliant concept (thanks American Vintage for the thought). Discussion welcome. As to boar brushes, I am unsettled. Seems like, unless they are ancient, its like brushing your face with straw.
Not everything! I do get some freebies, and i make sure to mention when. But I definitely would rather have a base audience that at least trusts that I'm not a salesman. On that note, I do have some affiliate links if you do feel so inclined. I have a new baby, after all. 😆 Thanks for watching, Brian!
Hi John, You are correct about the pucks being discontinued. I love Fine products and have every scent I believe. Their splashes are fantastic. Best regards, Glenn
Figured lol. Ah well. I agree, love their scent strength. Take care, Glenn!
💯 % agree about boar brushes.
💯 % agree about boar brushes.
Take note young Soldier! Your face will thank you and John. 😶🌫️
😆
I would LOVE to do pucks only. It would let me cut the price so much. Customer buying habits though just couldn’t justify it anymore though unfortunately.
I understand completely. It adds extra time to an already lengthy process. I love 'em.
Yes, the Fine pucks have been discontinued. A year ago. Maybe two. The croapy soap is good but nothing like the puck. Or very different experience, anyway.
Damn. Figures.
Love a good broken in boar brush. Especially for a hard soap puck

1st one here!

Great shave and review John! That scent sounds really nice!
Thanks, Joe!
Thank you for supporting AVSC John. I’ll never have enough words or time to express my gratitude.
Of course! You got something good here!
My youngest and I look forward to the next videos! She saw those places too!
That brush though!!! This whole shave is just so cool! Congrats Isaiah and good luck on your next adventures. 🇺🇸
Thanks bro. 🤝🏻
Beautiful Razor, very neat.
Thank you kindly!
I NEED that razor!
She's a beaut! Rod George is good at what he does.
In these Inflationary Times. HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Use any hard Bar Soap, Tallow or Glycerin based Soaps out there? To fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like" (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) You can mix and match your old Soaps? Cut up the soap on a paper plate, pour your soap chunks with the shavings from the Paper Plate into a Mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, and microwave your soap. For about a minute or so? Place a paper plate under your mug in case it bubbles out of your cup? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in . PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money. Happy New Year. Your Mileage may vary? Wheelchair Larry

Rewatching in 2024
Your idea!
After rubbing the Stirling Pre-Shave bar on a wet face, should we add water and slightly lather with hands before applying bowl lather?
I don't. The goal for that soap is the residual slickness it leaves and how it softens your hair, not the lather itself. Hope that helps!
Hey man just subscribed. Do you think the average guy will love this scent? And is it a very strong smell? Love trump but have so many soaps already 😅
Thanks for subscribing! I really appreciate it. It is a fantastic scent and is indeed strong. The EdP is especially nice. In response to your question, tastes obviously vary, but I would say yes. I'm currently in Georgia for my nephew's graduation from Army basic training and wore this to the ceremony. A couple of his buddies asked about it, if that helps. The Army seems to be full of frag heads, lol. I hope this helps and please reach out any time if I can do anything else.
Howdy John, Jessica and Posse. Great set up. I love that style of end cap. I’m not a fan of Kai blades either. They just don’t work for me, but Nean loves them in her Henson for her leg shaves.
Thanks, Bradley!
Awesome shave as always John. Thanks for the kind words and for taking LUMBERJACK for a spin. We’ve been collaborating with Music City Suds since. . . well . . . since before shaving soap collabs became a “thing”. They’re an awesome couple and their products are really good on your skin. The Zomchi is intriguing. Thanks for doing a review on it. 👍
You're welcome! It's a fine soap; I thoroughly enjoy them. Glad you liked the video! 🤝🏻
Nice shave and excellent product reviews John! Congratulations on hitting 500 subs!🎉
Thank you kindly!
Howdy John, Jessica and Posse! I’m catching up with your shaves. Great shave my friend. I loved the intro art. 🎃 👻 🐈⬛ P.S. You’ll look just fine w/o the stash. Great idea on putting Jack 🎃 on a perch.
Lol, thanks Bradley.
That brush looks beautiful
Thanks!
Cool video John! I always appreciate seeing you introduce something new.
Thanks, Chad. 😀
Hi John, Zomchi sent me 2 razors to review. Same style as yours, but a black and a blue one. I did reviews of both on my channel. Truly impressive, especially at the price point. I agree with your assessment. Best regards, Glenn
Very nice! I would love the one I was sent in another color. I agree about the price, it's crazy how smooth it is for that amount. I appreciate you watching!
Congrats and I got the zomchi classic for my wife she felt it was too aggressive so I tried it on my face and was shocked how well it shaved. Best $20 razor out there in my opinion.
Thanks! I can see why for sure. I wasn't expecting how smooth it was.
Congratulations on hitting 500 subscribers
Thanks!
Great shave John! Excited to see what’s in store for the hardware collab! Unfortunate people have to do mean things on Halloween. Love what you did with the pumpkin! 😂 Yeah go get it!
Thanks buddy, lol. Not the first time I've been on the roof for one of my kids. 😝
love your light hearted content bro. I always leave happy . Thank you
Hey, you're welcome! Thanks for that man, I'm glad. I know I'm a drop in a bucket, but comments like that make it worth it. 🤝🏻
Proraso is one of my favorites but I prefer Cella.
I love Cella! Green smells great, but i like the performance of Red more. Thank you for watching!
Hallows is fantastic. Nice shave John! Best regards, Glenn
Thanks, Glenn! Take care. 🤝🏻
Great shave John. I used the same set of Hallows today as well. Great scent. Have a Halloween.
Razor is gorgeous John! I’m shaving with Season of the Witch later today. Will most likely do a video on it for my channel. Smells amazing. Enjoy the baby! Best regards, Glenn
Thanks, Glenn! You were dead-on about the drydown, especially the EdP. Happy shaves!
