    Hello Geo. I'm Carlos from Spain. He has surprised me to see you shave with the LEA cream, since it is manufactured in my country.
    In fact, there are only four brands in Spain that produce
    products for classic shaving. These are: LEA, LA TOJA,
    NIVEA AND WILKINSON, but they only manufacture it in tube, stick and
    in a foam pot
    Thanks for your videos and a hug from Spain friend.

      Hola, Carlos.
      In Spain there is a company called Epsilon which makes shaving products. I don’t know anything about them but I have seen them advertising on the web pages of Gifts & Care España. I have used a sample of their after shave and it is very nice. Un saludo.

    I now own 5 razors. The futur has a special place in my heart. Many people are afraid of it or dont know how to handle it. I dare say it is my favorite. You can turn the aggressiveness down but when you need a sharp powerful mower it cant be beat. And it is so beautiful to look at.

    Hi Geo, LEA shaving creams and foams seem to be nice, thanks for this video. Could I ask you a favor please? I can't figure out which information is true about washing and moisturizing/protecting face, could you do a video about this? Because I recently watched a video that said facial massages help cleanse face much more than washing face, which in fact, stresses and wears face and only cleanses the upper part of it, which made a lot of sense.

      Get the Rockwell. U have some adjustments. I got the R89 for my 1st razor & don’t like it. Very mild but not like you think. Mild in that it takes tons of passes which cause irritation before you are smooth shaven. The knurling sucks and handle is hollow. Not impressed at all. I’m selling or giving mine away. The Rockwell will have superior knurling & options to cover any beard growth.

    This is a superb razor, I’d recommend the Gillette King for people starting out with this type of razor. I have a collection of DE safety razors after dabbling with cutthroat razors, you will always get a better shave with a double edge than a cutthroat unless someone else does it for you. I’d never go back to the multi blade razors they are really bad on skin.
