    Matt, great message. It's SO important to get checked out. I'm 58 & had no symptoms yet turned out had prostate cancer. Am 6 months post radical prostatectomy & so glad I had surgery. It's a tough road but will save your life. Every guy should get checked over!

    You look good with a stache, Matt. I used to have a huge beard. Like years of growth. One day, for some reason, I randomly got recommended a Geofatboy video and really enjoyed it. So I went down this rabbit hole of DE shaving videos, which is where I found you guys. Decided I wanted to try it out, so I ordered some supplies and shaved my beard off. Kept my stache tho. Been rocking it for the past several years. I had to take mine down with clippers first tho. Way too much hair to do with a razor. Also, I use the same Kent mustache comb. I've had it for probably about 10 years, still going strong. 👍

    Awesome stache! Looks great on you. I too get sometimes torn between the love of wetshaving and the great experience of growing and “nurturing” a beard. Found out that a goatee or mustache gives you the opportunity to have the best of both worlds.

    Agree with the message - get checked every rear.
    Will keep my mustache of forever.
    Great products, and the Konsul & Ambassador are always in the rotation. Never in doubt with a good blade. Straight razor or shavette would have worked well for a first pass. Agree with producer - no clippers.
    Good job all round though.
    Do well & enjoy the weekend.
    Cheers, John

    SMQQTH one, I watched this video at 1.75 speed, and had a couple of good laughs 😂 . I had my last shave for at least a month, Thursday afternoon (10/31). Used a red tip, silver blue, RE unscented preshave soap, Rex 1966, Omega boar brush. Last year was the first time in years that I didn't grow a beard in November. I'm going to this year, at least until December 1st. And I'll try to keep it a while, or until the itching drives me nuts. Can't wait to see how gray it is now. It gets colder here than it does there. Oh, You can volunteer at the fire station now.

    Same for me. I have had a goatee or full beard most of my adult life. Earlier this year, I started DE shaving and I wanted to shave more of my face, so the goat was history! Something about the nekkid chin is freeing. Being a fellow AZ resident, I was concerned I might have a tan line. But, it faded fast. Goats are for Yoga, if you live in Chandler.

    While I was working from home during COVID, I just let my facial hair grow to see how much I could grow over the month and a half that I was working from home. When it came to taking it off, I was still using a dull Fusion razor. Cartidges are expensive and I hated buying them from the case. It wasn't a lot of fun, but I did get the hair off. I am glad that I moved over to safety razors.

    Matt, I had a couple of months of beard growth and the Konsul took it off like hot knife through butter. Your approach to removing your goatee was not good sir. If I made youtube videos I would make a video on how to use the Konsul properly in this situation. 😁The Konsul AND Ambassador shave off beards EASILY. This video is not a fair reflection of the tool and more a display of the user skills 🤣🤣🤣. For proof, watch a video called "Beard Off! Rex Ambassador Adjustable Razor". Anyway, one more goatee removed is a huge win for humanity. Glad you enjoyed your shave!

    I am a MOUSTACHE MAN who has had (almost) and will have a MOUSTACHE all his life, so for me, the MOUSTACHE RULES.
    LONG LIVE THE MOUSTACHE.
    By the way that was a HORSE SHOE MOUSTACHE, the HANDLEBAR(S) MOUSTACHE is different. it's like the IMPERIAL MOUSTACHE but instead of going up and curve it goes down and sideways (The huge ones are like the Wyatt Earp's and the normal ones are like the William Howard Taft's).
    PS: Your MOUSTACHE also looks very good and suits you well (way better than the Goatee), so if you ask me (I know you didn't and wouldn't) it's better to keep it as the look of your fifth decade of life.
    Also with all due respect your technique (for shaving the Goatee) wasn't effective and practical. If you want to shave a beard without - first - using scissors (or clippers) you should start from the top (which means the bottom corners of your Moustache) and send the razor behind the facial hair, from its root to its point. With your technique, you will harm your skin and obviously, it would be difficult (and it would take longer) to shave the beard too.
