- Once again we're exploring men's razor and trying to find the best value.
After conducting "The Best Razor Challenge" we learned 5 key takeaways about razor that may help us gain perspective and make better purchasing decisions.
please don’t stop making videos!! the editing is amazing and i love the way you host this channel!! keep grinding and your channel will do great.
Yo, seeing this comment was a great way to start the day!! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! I needed to hear this today!
I don’t plan on quitting and have more videos in the works. Hopefully they’re both interesting and helpful!
Excellent video! Thank you! I’m a Gillette Pro Glide fan myself.
Big thanks for your comment and for checking out the video! I like the Pro Glid also but I think the Gillette Labs is more comfortable and efficient for me. However I also think the labs is overpriced and the Pro Glid may be a better value based on price?🤔
@@fitnessnbeer9835With that endorsement from you, I’ll definitely give the Gillette Labs a try. Thank you!
I've been shaving my head for 8 years now and the amount of money I spent on various blades and shaving creams is crazy. A few months ago I purchased a harrys razor and started using that along with hair conditioner to shave and it works great! I came across this video and tried the schick and was amazed at how great the shave was but the only downside was rinsing out the blade was a bit tough. Harrys is my go to until i find something better, I do plan on trying out gillette exfoliating razor and possibly the heated razor. thanks for the great content
Big thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to comment!
Glad you found a razor that works well for you and I think Harry’s is very reasonably priced compared to many. Harry’s isn’t my favorite, mostly because I find the flex awkward but I think the blades perform just fine. However the biggest thing I’ve learned is that everyone’s razor preference is different.
I really like the Gillette Labs with exfoliating bar and think it’s a great shave but I don’t think it’s so much better that it’s worth the price of the replacement cartridges. But $25 to try it out isn’t bad. I do think the cartridges are efficient and last well but still $6 per cartridge is pricey.
Great video! I have the Gillette Labs heated razor. Tried DE razors for a couple weeks and still may try them from time to time. Having said that the Gillette Labs cartridges give an easy and close shave. I love the blade on the back for edging up my beard and the touch up points. Just picked up 12 carts for $35 on eBay. So roughly $3 per cart. That’s the best way to get them. Your channel deserves to be bigger and will be if you stick with it. Great job!
$3 per Gillette labs cartridge!!! That’s awesome! I really like the Gillette labs cartridges but I also feel they’re way too expensive. I also have the heated razor and I actually think it’s pretty cool. Waaaaay overpriced but the feel and novelty of the heated razor make for a unique experience that’s worth a premium price. The Gillette labs is currently my favorite razor.
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I enjoy making videos and hope they’re somewhat helpful and entertaining. Def gonna check eBay!
@@fitnessnbeer9835 yeah I also got the heated razor brand new on eBay with a 2 year replacement plan for like $85. So pricey but far better than usual. eBay is definitely worth a look!
These challenges are a lot of fun. Really enjoy this.
I had fun making them. I def try hard to make them worth watching and hope they provide a little bit of insight. Thanks for your comment and for checking out the videos!🙏🏾
@@fitnessnbeer9835 anytime. Have you tried a double edge razor yet?
@@carolinabarbershop Funny you should ask. I just posted a video about my experience with the King C Gillette.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 I will take a look. I haven't tried that one specifically, but many I have tried and tested. We settled on the Henson brand for its comfort and ease of use for everyone, regardless of experience.
@@carolinabarbershop Cool haven’t run into the Henson but I’m going to find it and give it a try. My other try was the Merkur 34c. Still feeling that one out. I enjoy the safety razor but it’s a different animal.
Both parts were very helpful!
Man big thanks for this comment and taking time to check out the videos!
I'd bought a pack of BIC Comfort 3 Hybrid's today and boyyy did they cut me up from head to neck. I've never used such a low quality razor. Decided to search UA-cam for some razor reviews and was very thankful to find your channel. Going to be giving the Schick Quattro Titaniums a try come payday! Thank you for making these videos.
I’ve used the Bic Comfort 3 Hybrid. It’s not my favorite but it works.🤣 And it’s cheap!
I def think the Schick Quattro and the Gillette Fusions are smoother. Let me know what you think when you try the Quattro?
Thanks a bunch for watching and sharing your story!
@@fitnessnbeer9835 I picked up the Quatrro yesterday and gave it the most raw test I could this morning and it performed really well! And irritation was on my lack of skin prep but I'm very pleased with the Quattro on it's first shave 👍🏻 Thank you for that recommend and I may have to give the Fusion a try in the future as well 😃
@@Dwoalin love to hear this bro! I’m learning that different things work for different people but I think most people are going to prefer the Quattro over any of the Bic comfort hybrid series.
Personally I like the Quattro better than the fusion but it’s comparable. The price on the Quattro is great too!
Great video, gives me a idea of which one to buy the men in our family 🥰 thanks for sharing enjoy your evening 🍻
I think the biggest thing I learned is everyone is different. However I also think there is some consistency among razor preferences that indicates some razor are good or bad.
Thanks for checking out the vid.
You earned my subscription for your razor videos.
Big thanks for commenting and subbing, much appreciated! I believe razors are an important topic, it’s something that affects all of us.
great video! only creator ive seen trying to make more scientifically valid comparisons of razors. was wondering if you had specific pros and cons comparing the schick quattro vs the gilette labs? or if schick just had slight more preference but not too much different in any specific aspect
Big thanks for your comment and checking out the video!! I really wish I had resources to survey more guys. It would be great to know how razors rank as far as guy’s preferences.
I think guys like the compact design of the Quattro. The irony is that the Quattro is actually an outdated razor and Schick mostly pushes the 5 blade Hydro. However the Quattro can still be purchased online for a good price.
Hi, would be could if you do content like that care for men, Im about to buy the meridian trimmer, I have been using harrys but im going to try the gillette labs
Thanks for watching and commenting! Overall I’m hoping to be a family channel, but as a dad. And I def plan to do more men’s stuff, shaving. And self care overall.
So how many shaves can you get out of each blade before replacing? On average, if you had to put a number on it. Thanks for doing this by the way. Going pick up some Quattro blades today
I generally get about 5-7 with a good razor and that’s full head and partial face shave. A crappier razor and this number can drop to 3-4. Obviously this varies based on hair length, time between shave etc…
Let me know how the Quattro works out? I like the Quattro titanium and feel it over performs for the price. I get the most good shaves out of the Gillette Labs cartridge but it’s also expensive.
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
Great video. I really liked the point system you used to determine the winner.
Here's my list if you don't mind:
1. Fusion ProShield
2. Fusion ProGlide
3. Fusion5
4. Mach 3 Turbo
5. Schick Quattro
6. Bic Flex 5 Hybrid
(I haven't tried Gillette Labs or Harry's yet.)
Keep making videos. Your channel will grow in time!
Many thanks for watching, and commenting!
It’s awesome that you shared your list! It’s funny that the Bic Flex 5 is in your last position too. It seems to be a level of consistency there.
Hey man I’m here after watching Pt 1 from this Video. I enjoyed the content and I’m actually Very surprised to see the Quattro came out on top. I use Safety Razors, but I seen all the Talk about Gillette Labs & Fusion. I think it would be great if you gave Safety Razors a try. Start out with a affordable Viking Revolution under $20 and it comes with Blades. Takes a while to get used to it but I would recommend to anyone.
I want to try out Gillette Labs, Perhaps the Quattro. Is the Exfoliation only a gimmick? I’m looking for a 1-2 Stroke Max to remove all hair and see only skin.
Thanks so much for your comment and for checking out the video!
Dude, I was surprised the Schick Quattro won too! I actually like the Gillette Labs best, I think it’s a pretty smooth and efficient cartridge. (But the Exfoliating bar is absolutely a gimmick and I don’t think it does much). I also thought the Quattro performed well, especially considering the price and age.
I actually like a good safety razor shave and my fave so far is the Merkur 34c however I still have lots to try. While I enjoy safety razors and the price is great, in some ways I think cartridges are easier.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 You are 100% Correct. Carts are Easier, I used Carts long ago but the Price stopped me from using. Then I heard all the Commotion about Safety Razors which our Grandparents used in their days.
Back on Cartridges, they are Omega easy, after using Safety Razors I can shave my head with a Cheap Bic 1-2 Blade but although it Shaves, I gotta do bunch of passes and it irritates the Hell outta me.
So yes I agree with You, there are Good Carts and Cheap Carts.
Have you tried Shaving Soaps & Brushes Yet?
I feel like the World of Shaving is a Rabbit Hole you gotta Fall thru, till you find what really works for you.
I mostly like Gillette fusion prosheild power it gives closest shave and much lesser irritation and razor bumps.
Hey I've never used a power razor. How do those work? What does the power add to the shave?
@@fitnessnbeer9835 little bit more comfort and gives vibration during shave sir try it
@@sunnydey405 will do!
What are your thoughts on the Schick Hydro vs Quattro?
Unfortunately I haven’t tried the Schick Hydro. It’s on my list to try, but I can say I likes the Quattro especially for the value. Hopefully the Hydro is as good or better!
Would be nice if you would do a video like this with DE safety razors
Thanks for watching!
Funny you say that, I did a video with the King C Gillette which was my first safety razor experience. And got a video about the Mekur 34c in the queue. Glad I tried it.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 Just watched the King C video too. You definetly have a new subscriber 👍
The most expensive razor I own/owned is the Van Der Hagen safety razor… but I like it sometimes. Using Gillette since mach3…
I just bought the Gillette Labs Ex Razor, black gold edition, Loved it next day bought 6 cartridges. This is now my go to, until I guess Gillette makes the next razor 😂.
I wouldn’t pay more than 25$ for a razor minus cartridge’s. Nice video btw
Yo gotta try the safety razor! How is it? That’s going to be my next try but I’m a little nervous about it.
Safety razor guys seem to be pretty enthusiastic. You’ve had a safety razor but still use cartridges? Thoughts? And big thanks for watching and sharing!👍🏾
@@fitnessnbeer9835 yes sir, I prefer the cartridge razors vs the safety razor. I mean it gives a very nice close shave to the skin with one stroke. BUT, after minutes of shaving it feels like my face is burning in spots. Even though there is no razor burn 🤷🏻♂️, I do have very sensitive skin though, so it could be the very close shave it gives. The handle is weighty so you don’t need very much at all on a down or up stroke. The new Gillette lab gives me pretty close results on one stroke like the safety razor… now I am sure there is quality safety razors that could give a better result, but like I said 25$ max for me…
Don’t be worried don’t be nervous, just get it and yes LATHER THE FACE LOL. It’s the only time I use cream is with the safety razor.
@@frosteddonuts6156 the Merkur 34C was my first safety razor. Paired with a Feather blade gave me a really nice shave with no irritation. It has become my travel razor.
I dont understand why you used the 4 blade for schick instead of the 5
You’re right! I shoulda used the Schick Hydro 5-blade. The reason i used the Quattro is that it showed up higher in my online search results🤦🏽♂️.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
There is such a thing as a "bad" disposable razor. I tried a couple of them. I will not say their product names; but only say that bad razors do exist. Good name-branded disposable razor products will likely be better for most people. A bad razor will cut the hair very poorly, and will clog easily and be difficult to unclog.
100% agreed that bad razors do exist! However I also believe everyone is different with different razor preferences. But I also think there is a degree of consistency and fewer people will enjoy shaving with a bad razor.
Big thanks for watching and sharing!👍🏾
For me best razor is Bic flex 3 hybrid. 5 blades is definitely marketing!
Thanks for watching and sharing. The Bic Flex 3 is very affordable and in my opinion serviceable but not the best. I’ve used the Flex 3 many times, especially when I was looking for the cheapest razor.
I like fusion 5 👍 i bought 4 pack cartridges for 5,5 $
I like the Fusion 5 but I do think it’s a little overpriced for the quality. Even tho I like the Fusion better than most lower priced razors I don’t know if I like it enough better to be worth the price difference. I feel similarly about the Gillette Labs which is my favorite cartridge razor.
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
Can you do a video on how you shave?
Yo I can do that! Big thanks for checking out the video.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 appreciate you ✊🏾
Gillette Fusion is better. It gave me a closer shave.
I prefer anything Gillette because: The loading system is great, the flex bar technology enables you to get a very comfortable shave, it looks very nice. Schick has a crappy loading system and the blade falls off easily. To me, a Schick shave is not that comfortable. I get way more nicks with Schick
I think Gillette makes good razors too. Not necessarily every model but many are pretty good. I’ve had good success with the Schick Quattro and find it to be a great alternative. However everyone is different when it come to razor preference and what feels comfortable.
Big thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I been using Gillette for years the best !
Agreed, Gillette makes the best cartridge razors. Big thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
Schick is the best hands down
I think Schick makes respectable products and I’ve had good success with the Schick Quattro Titanium.
Glad you found a razor you like and it’s reasonably priced. Thanks for watching and commenting!
These videos are really good. It shows me how much money I was wasting on cartridge razors and filling the landfill with them. I switched to a straight razor and now look forward to shaving. Thanks for these videos it does open up eyes.
Big thanks for checking out the video and commenting! And yes you’re absolutely right about razor refills and waste. I dunno if I’m ready for a straight razor yet but I do appreciate my DE safety razors which is a step in the right direction.🤣
Surprised people still buying gillette lol after that shit storm
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts.
🤣. I think you’re referring to the toxic masculinity commercials. I wasn’t personally that offended by the commercial and some of the themes were actually good. But it was definitely heavy handed and poorly executed.
These are terrible use a Safety Razor anyway Interesting video
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting! I appreciate a good safety razor but I don’t believe it’s the best solution for everyone.
bro you really have a good quality in the videos but you don't seem to get so many views, I recommend you give up.
I really appreciate you saying my videos are good quality! I’m trying to get better! I can only control what I produce but not the result.
But I’m not quitting, not yet. I still enjoy it enough that if I can help even just a couple of people with video, it’s worth it.
