  • Welcome back to average guy tested! Today I'll be giving a nod to the past - featuring my 1954 Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip Safety Razor, which is a smooth and stylish vintage DE blade that's a great choice for new wet shavers. I'll also be featuring pine and pepper, my new favorite artisan soap and splash, from the fine folks at @elysiansoapshop lathered up with the awesome cork handle, premium synthetic badger brush from my good friends @pacificshaving
    I'll be giving my tips and techniques for new wet shavers and old clowns alike. Enjoy!

    Great video. You really did a good job explaining the nuances to those new to wet shaving. Your advice to only do one or two passes when starting out was on target. The best advice is to use a light touch. Never press the blade to the skin. Let the weight of the razor do the work. Your cold sounds like it has mostly faded away. Keep pushing!

      Peter! I’m all shorted out! I don’t enjoy making them as much as these longer videos. I’ll still do some, but taking a short break from shorts for now. :) thanks for watching, brah!

    Fantastic shave you got there Tony. I believe that razor has two brothers one with a blue tip which is mild and a red tip which is aggressive.

    Why using safty razor? Its not safe compared with sensors as an example plus it is so slow.

    Hey Tony!! You are using the regular superspeed from the original trio. The blue tip was the mild razor, the silver tip was the medium razor, and the red tip was designed for heavier beard growth. All three inspired what we all know as the Gillette Toggle and the 195 Adjustable aka Fatboy! The superspeed is the one razor copied most by other manufacturers due to it's iconic design. The build quality is second to none! Unfortunately they can never be truly replicated due to all of Gillette's factories no longer existing. The stamping equipment required for these beauties would cost millions to rebuild. This is why Gillette won't ever recreate the Fatboy, Slim, Super 109/84, etc. Global Shave Club (that was the name at the time) recreated a replica of the Fatboy. It was decent, but you could definitely tell the difference between the original(stamped metal) and the Fatguy(cast metal). Nonetheless, if you acquire these vintage razors, value them!! They are a once in a lifetime treasure! Glad to see you are feeling better! Jimmy G.

      @gorachand1235 One, my skin can handle it, two, I use very good, slick soap, and 3, I use platinum coated blades. I get great shaves! I don't recommend this to all though. Everyone's skin is different. Also, beard map your face, this makes a world of difference!
