Probably your best interview right there! It is always great to learn from the artisans in the trade but people like Ken are right in center of the wet shaving world. His views on where the hobby is at, what new things are coming to the market and his passion to make us discover things that are not necessarily the high end shaving material gives a much better visibility to wet shaving. Great interview to both of you!
I’ve always liked ken and like him more now. Very interesting and knowledgeable man. I love his videos in his den and enjoy his insights and humor. Keep that camera on the mirror! Thanks West coast for this video.
Great interview. Ken mentioned on his channel that he wasn't sure how he came across in this interview. I thought it was very natural. Thanks for doing this.
This is for you Ken, started to use a safety razor about 45 days ago. Watched 100’s of videos. The first time I ran across you, I didn’t care much. But you grew on me man and I love your vlogs. Great knowledge, fun stories and what a collection! Keep the vlogs coming! You’re on top of the list 😉
When I started to watch Ken's channel, he had not filled the shave den, yet. But gradually things for shaving became more like subscribers. I am proud that I am one of his first subscribers and always watch his video with pleasure. He is a real, good person. In life, he speaks faster than shaving reviews.) Thanks for the interview with him.
Ken, y spoke abt early retirement. Myself did this at 45, after selling my own biz. Now at 70 I can only say no regrets at all, provided y keep yrself busy otherwise, hobbies etc. Cheers fm Singapore, Achim+
Dovo shavette brushed ststl handle razor it’s a great starter razor and a great gateway to the real straight razor experience, JMO. Great video. Happy New Year!
I got super excited stumbling across kensurfs shaving videos, never used DE razor, so I bought a shaving brush, soap, bowl, muhle grande r89 razor with feather blades.... long story short it was a struggle to get a clean shave as I wasn’t getting the angle right and had to do multiple multiple passes. I got really bad irritation and razor bumps about a day or so after this. I went back to my Gillette cartridge razor after and really no irritation and razor burn, as this is what I’m used to. It sucks because I just bought all this cool shaving stuff and want to give the muhle another try but am super scared lol....I’ve watched a bunch of videos on how to shave with a DE razor but every one is different and it’s a feel thing along with getting the angle down right so you can actually shave off the hair. I remember my first pass with the muhle DE razor I barely even took any hair off...just shaving soap LOL
I wish I could visit that store. I'd go crazy in there. In fact, I ordered my Merkur 34C online from West Coast Shaving. Excellent service. Great prices.
Ken, if you want to use instagram you got to have the app on your phone, that way you will get notifications if people comment on your images or message you. I never understood the appeal of Twitter.
No market for DE and wetshaving in the US? Wait a second. Where does the whole soap artisans and brush makers sell their stuff? Ah wait, US! Mmmhhh... We have the old companies like TOBS, Proraso etc. But the modern artisans are all based in the US or Canada...or?
It was a good chance for Ken to learn from you how to make a lather... He is making worse lather from PaulH!!! To be True he is not making a lather at all... He is shaving with soap!!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to chat with you👍👍💈

Great interview.
Gillette owns Art of Shaving. That is their safety razor “line.”
Think y’all hit the nail on the head. I’ll bet the Market is much bigger than they think.
Very interesting interview. Well done. Thank you. 😊👍🏼
I have a Silverball Mania pinball machine from 1980. Loved playing it in HS and bought this one around 1988. Who knew Ken was a pinball guy.

That was a delightfully civil and engaging interview. Well don to all concerned. ;)
FANTASTIC ; I Really Loved that Ken......!! HNY
Chris Morley 👍👍
Two shave gods in one video... What in the world
2 shave giants, 1 video, excelent!!! Do you have an interview with mark szorady???
Ken, what a Legend.
Loved this I’ve been waiting
Kenny you made me cringe when you said 70-80's vintage.. 😮 I'm prehistoric. Ken has mentioned this before, he's a good size gent! Good interview Mark.
I thought he was tiny, but oh boy is he a giant 😂
Abs gr8! Cheers very much for sharing!
if you could answer some of these questions today, as far as media presence etc, would the answers be difference?
Kensurfs perfect Man and big Dude shave.
happy new year to both of you!

0:13 that guy with the dark red t-shirt.
Great intervieuw. Ken is cool guy.
Ken is the best!
Ken is the man !
Can't wait until I am popular enough to be asked to be interviewed brahahahhahha. Nice interview Ken.
re watching this video fun Kensurfs talking about retiring he is still working 2020
Ken sounds different here than his own videos.
No market for DE and wetshaving in the US? Wait a second. Where does the whole soap artisans and brush makers sell their stuff? Ah wait, US! Mmmhhh...
We have the old companies like TOBS, Proraso etc. But the modern artisans are all based in the US or Canada...or?
Ken is the dude! Will have to check out Mantic's videos.
Hangin AZ 👍👍
Coming to the USA at 8 years old explains the lack of a “Jeordie” accent!
No j its g, all the best K T
Thanks for the correction!😊
GILLETTE, please make a nostalgia razor!!!!!!!!
Cool guy!
Didn’t know Ken was a Geordie!
I recommend retirement for everyone.
i would have to rob a bank first!
Ken has a awesome channel! If Gillette made a new tto de Id buy one in a heartbeat!!
It was a good chance for Ken to learn from you how to make a lather... He is making worse lather from PaulH!!! To be True he is not making a lather at all... He is shaving with soap!!!!
Kensurfs sounds like Barney Fife in this video
Wyatt I agree👍👍
Is it just me or does Ken sound like a smurf in this video??? Lol love kens shave videos
Maybe needs a new title “KenSmurfs”!!!
Well. That was just inappropriate.
Stop bothering me Ken
