Great shave as always. I fancy having a go at the variant. Looks a solid razor.
Forget the soap your shave den must smell like heaven with all those beautiful soaps you use everyday. love your channel. great videos Kevy.
Another outstanding shave! Thank you Mr K
Cheers William. Kevy 😀
New York, London, Paris, Rome.
A 4 part mini series called 'kevy's plaque' where you use a soap/cream, razor and brush from each one of those cities would be a cool idea.
My knowledge on the availability of products from those cities isn't that extensive, so I'm not sure if it can be done but it would be a cool idea.
There you go, you've got some homework to do. ;)
Genius! That's a great idea. I'll get to work doing some research. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Nice shave Kevy! I finally got my Parker Variant a few weeks ago. Great razor! Thank you for introducing it to me! Have a great rest of the week.
Thanks James. I'm glad you're enjoying the Parker Bariant. Have a good weekend. Kevy 😀
I'm getting a black Variant for Christmas,WOW I cant' wait!
Brilliant! I'm sure you'll enjoy using it, great razor. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Great shave Love getting your helpful tips. Thanks Kevy and Merry Christmas
Thanks Mark. Merry Christmas to you too. Have a great weekend too. Kevy 😀
Great shave Kevy, now I need to put the soap and razor you just used on my Christmas list!
Le Grand Chypre is my favourite B&M soap and aftershave. Wonderful stuff.
You,have great taste in soaps Brandon. I loved using this soap. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Hi Kevy- Fantastic shave today. Great range of products, as well. I have found that quite often, a synthetic brush can produce mountains of lather that can be nicely "painted" on- your custom certainly did the trick with the soap, today. I also really enjoy the Myrsol Emulsion at the end of a shave. Thanks as always for the video, Kev, and have a good weekend. Take care and best regards.
Thanks Mike. The synthetic brushes perform just as well as a boar or badger in myopinion. The synthetic knots being produced just now are outstanding. Myrsol emulsion is a very versatile balm. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Awesome video Kevy. Barrister and Mann soaps are fantastic. Everyone I’ve tried I love. My personal favourite is Seville. Great shave and great products. Cheers
Thanks Kirk. The scents on some of the B&M soaps sound amazing. Seville is another one that's on my list. Cheers mate. Kevy 😀
Great shave Kevy. I like the Wilkinson 2.0 brush.
Thanks Abe. Graydog did,a fine job on the brush. Have a good week. Kevy 👍
Dang! Awesome lather!!! and, yes, B&M can take a lot of water. Will told me to keep going and he was right!
It is a thirsty soap. Will knows his stuff. Cheers. Kevy. 😀
nice video Kevy! fantastic soap....
Thanks Marco! Do,you know of any good shaving stores in Rome? Cheers. Kevy 👍
Nice shave Kevy. I have the graphite colored Variant, shaves fantastic. Myrsol products are really good, Plastic is hard to find it seems. Great performers B&M soaps are. Super video again. Thanks and enjoy.
Thanks. The Variant mowed through the growth in this shave with ease. I like Myrsol products, I only have the two I used today but I've heard great things about their other scents. B&M soaps are just divine. Cheers. Kevy 👍
@@kevyshaves4109 Divine soaps but you haven't used the Declaration Milksteak base yet. Fantastic.
You will probably toss many other soaps using this beast. I did the same thing.
Great shave and congratulations to a soap you seems to really enjoy😃👍
Cheers Johnny. I really enjoyed this soap. Have a good week. Kevy 👍
Kevy Shaves Thank you sir! Today I will enter the ring and do a rematch with the mighty Fatip. My face finally healed up enough after the last butchering! I'll be filming it and upload later today.
Have a great week you too and make a video soon again.😃
Cheers!
Great shave Kevy. I love the scent on this soap! I have Hallows. I'm really liking BnM soaps. I have used a sample of their Reserve line and that is an amazing formula! Take care Kevy!
Thanks. The scent on this soap is very good, like nothing else I've smelled before, very complex. I love it. I have the reserve Spice waiting to be used. That too, smells great. Have a good week. Kevy 👍
@@kevyshaves4109 Yes, but the scent is also sickly.
Great video Kevy, Parker variant is a great razor just got mine out to use tomorrow....All the best Mark.
Thanks Mark. Hope it went well with the Variant. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Sounds like it smells amazing.
It is! A very complex but captivating scent. Really nice. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Great shave Kev. Yes sir, the absolute top two razors in my den are the Parker Variant and the Blackbird SB. Phenomenal razors!!
Thanks Stuart. Is the Blackbird an aggressive razor?
At a 0.58mm blade gap it really is not aggressive but the shave is the closest I can get from any DE. You do feel the blade but in a good way if that makes sense. Its a unique DE and a beautifully built smaller razor. Quite compact. Really well regarded by long time wet shavers.
Sounds interesting Stuart. Thanks for getting back to me with that info. Kevy 👍
That’s brush looks very nice mate
Cheers David, great brush. Kevy 😀
Great shave Kevy! Love that De Niro technique! The first part of his surname is De lol, it's only fitting 😂 Have a great week mate, cheers!
Thanks mate. Ha ha, I didn't think about his initials! Well spotted. All the best. Kevy 👍
Good morning kevy. Received the Proraso cypress and vetyver cream yesterday along with the fatip Nero. I loved them both!! The cream isn't as strong scented as the wood and spice, but nice and refreshing scent. Nice glide as well. If u get your Proraso for Christmas, I know you will love it too!
Cheers mate!!
Oh and I'm also going to be ordering a yaqi brush as well. Thank you for everything mate!
I'm looking forward to,trying the Cypress and Vetiver. If it's anywhere near as good as the wood and spice, I'll be happy. I'm sure you'll like the Yaqi brush. Have a good weekend. Kevy 😀
Kevy Shaves
It's just as good as the wood and spice, but slightly less strong scent wise and a little different scent. Very subtle scent. Granted my sinuses are not good at all and that's from years of sinus infections and bad sinusitis, so the scent could be much different, but definitely not as strong.
Great Video Kevy, (sounded like a Hitchcock film toward the end there)
Ha ha! Yes, it did! Stop, I'm scared now! Lol! Kevy 😀
You really worked that lather in. Very nice.
-Brandon
Thanks Brandon. The lather was amazing. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Hey Kevy, great vid as always, thats not a bad impression, I'm really excited, I have two shipments of B&M and L&L grooming on there way from Canada to UK, one shipment due this week, can't wait, I have had To buy a few per shipment to bring the shipping cost down but as always I say "go big or go home" funnily enough I had to remove Le Grand Chypre from the cart as I already had seven soaps per shipping, may be I'll order this in the new year.
Thanks Neil. The soaps from B&M and L&L are superb. That made me laugh...go big or go home! Lol! Cheers. Kevy 👍
I am finally getting around to this one in Jan. :) I think it is somewhat ironic that it was approaching Christmas 2017 and, at this point, it's past Old Christmas(Jan 7, 2018) but the way time seems to be accelerating; it won't be long before it will be Holiday Season of 2018. And of an actual shave related note: that Rose Myrsol looks exceptionally tempting.. ;-)
No hurry, these will be here for a long time! The Plastic (Rose) Myrsol is an excellent product 🌹 Cheers. Kevy 😀
Nice Shave
Great shave Kevy, and another cracking video. I think their should be health warning with the Parker Variant this razor can damage your hearing from the feedback? It is deafening? Hahaha. It's a great razor. The B&M soap looks great too I would like to have a sniff at some point.
Cheers, Chops 😉👍
Thanks! I'll wear earplugs the next time.😂 The B&M soap is brilliant. Cheers. Kevy
Please Mommy may I buy another soap...ill be a good boy...lol..."Ghosts of Christmas past"..Good shave kevy..all the best products..."Scotish Crows"...an indigenous Bird That feed on left over Hagas and drink cheap Scotish Wiskey...Kaw..Kaw..cheers !🇫🇮🇺🇸💈👍
Ha ha! Thanks William. Scottish crows are amongst the toughest birds on the planet. They feed on deep fried mars bars! 😂 Cheers. Kevy 😀
Very nice shave as always kevy. I have to try the Parker variant now. Maybe I'll add that to my den. I did order the other proraso scent. I think it's the cypress and vetiver and will let you know how that is. I also purchased a fat tip razor from PAA and I'll let you know how that one is too. That way if you want to try them, or give a shout out you can. Cheers mate!! See you next time!
The Parker Variant is a great razor to use, very versatile. The cypress and vetiver is on my Christmas wish list. Fatip razors have a good bite to them. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Kevy Shaves
Well, both the razor and cream are on they're way and I'll let you know what I think of them and if you want to give a shout out, by all means do so. Cheers!

Also, with me being still somewhat new to DE wet shaving, how often should I change my blade? And when should I know when to change it?
Again, that all depends on a few things. My beard is quite coarse so I only use a blade 3 times then it goes into the blade bank. Some people get way more shaves than that on each blade. You'll get to know when it's getting blunt as it will take more passes or cleanup passes to get rid of the stubble. Or it will start to feel like the blade is tugging at the hairs instead of gliding and cutting them. It's difficult to explain and I think the only way you'll get to know is to use the blades and you'll soon get to know over time when a blade is becoming dull or less sharp. Hope that helps. Kevy 😀
You could prob make a Kevy Shaves mask out of your lather,just great 😁
Ha ha! Thanks. Kevy 👍
Great shave. The Wilkinson Sword brush, I'm only gonna buy it just to have it sent to get a different knot so it's good enough as a brush. The crows were maybe fighting over some shit going on with you in the bathroom which is of course you shaving or maybe someone is watching the crows fighting on TV
This Wilkinson Sword brush has been transformed into something more useable for sure. Maybe the crows were laughing at one of my videos where I cut myself! Lol! Cheers. Kevy 👍
Perfect match to the brush could have been the black wilkinson classic safety razor with a rare "luxury" blade though.
Yes, that would have been a good choice. I wanted to use something a little more aggressive because I had a few days growth to remove. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Maybe the shave was something to crow about? :P
Kkkktishhhhhh! Lol! 😂 That's my drum cymbal noise (written down!) Cheers mate. Kevy 👍
I wonder how long it will be until Robert De Niro sees this
Ha ha! I hope he doesn't get too mad if he ever does see it! Lol! Cheers. Kevy 😀
Great “hardware” and “software” Kevy. Love the Dinero technique. Fugetaboouit! The Perma blade and Variant combo proved to be effective. Are there other blades you’ve used with the Variant that worked for you as well? Have a blessed day.
Cheers Frank. I think any blade would work in the Variant with the exception of a Feather, fro me anyway. The Gillette silver Blues work,really well in the Variant. All the best. Kevy 😀
Great shave Kevy, and you threw me with the "crappy" version of the WS brush, I was sitting here thinking "Kevy's not using that is he".
The B&M Grande Chypre sounds excellent. I was sent one of their soaps a few weeks ago, I love it :)
So what's the most exciting thing about buying a new soap, shaving with it, or rearranging your entire shave den to try and make room for it ? :D
Graydog made a good job of transforming this into a useable brush. B&M are top drawer both in performance and in my shave den cabinets! Lol!
Thanks, good video. That brush is a beauty! Are you still using your Rockwell 6S? It seems you like that Parker Variant a lot and I’m also considering buying one.
I have been using the Rockwell a bit recently. It's my favourite razor. The Variant is another great razor too. The Parker Variant is a very versatile razor to have in your den. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Good video kevy that soap lathers up thick and creamy i havent tryed that soap ,m going to see if i can find it
Thanks John. Really good soaps. I hope you manage to get some. Kevy 😀
Hey kevy just had a great shave with , cure for bellyache soap you sent a sample to Steven kelly he is my future father in law and got me into shaving like this thanks for the videos great info
Hey Alan. Good stuff mate. I love the scent on that soap. Two of my favourites combined in the one soap - coconut and lime - brilliant. Good to hear you're enjoying shaving this way. Tell Stevie I said hi! All the best. Kevy :)
Ur face shows how much u enjoy the art of wet shaving ...... cant conceal the excitement ...
I'm always excited when I'm about to have a shave. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Do you take the blades out every time you shave then put it back in? I just got my first wet shave kit today.
MoeGreen hi mate I take my blade out after every shave to dry it all properly even dry the blade
Hey Moe! Personally, I like to take the blade out of the razor after each use. Usually , because I never use the same razor twice. However, it's not neccesary to do that if you're using the same razor for every shave. I guess it's all down to personal choice. It won't do any harm leaving it in the razor, as long as its rinsed properly in warm water after you use it. Blades are very cheap to replace. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Thanks fellas.
If u shave daily ...its not necessary to remove blade
Have you tryed barrister and mann reserve base soap...if not you need to...oh great shave
I've got the B&M reserve Spice. Just waiting to use it, I will soon. It smells fantastic. Cheers. Kevy 👍
CRIKEY! Kev you over killed with way too much lather on you're face using the Barrister & Mann shaving soap, try loading the brush for about 12 or 13 seconds using your Wilkinson Sword 25mm re-knot Tuxedo brush. So is doesn't get too thick and extra creamy to soon, I can see you'll still need more water before you start shaving, otherwise the soap will dry out pretty quick while is so thick at the same time and become a little sticky.
Anyway I love all my Barrister & Mann shaving soaps I've got 13 tubs in my den and 2 more coming by via International mail which are:-
Bay Rum
Cologne Russe
Eventide ** (coming soon via International mail)
Lavanille
Le Grand Chypre
Leviathan
Lime | Lavender | Cedarwood
Promises ** (coming soon via International mail)
Reserve Classic
Reserve Cool
Reserve Fern
Reserve Lavender
Reserve Spice
Seville

Have great shave Kevy and you'll still need MOAR!! Barrister & Mann shaving soaps in you're den for 2018.
Thanks Jason. I like to overload the brush, I've got too many soaps to,get through, so I'm just as well to load like crazy. Wow, you have so,e brilliant soaps there. I've heard the Eventide is really good and has an amazing scent. I have Lavanille and I had Latha Limon. Brilliant soaps. I wish someone stocked them over here in the UK. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Kevy what is the equipment that you use to record your videos?...
Panasonic HDC-sd60 video camera and iMovie to edit. Nothing too fancy. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Kevy do you still have that brush ?:-)
Yes, the Wilkinson Graydog! I was looking through my brushes last night and noticed it. Hope you're all doing ok. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
You talkin to me
Yeah, but only if you're butcherin' more brushes! Lol! 😂😂
What a brush Graydog! Excellent combo of this handle and Tuxedo knot! Why we can't buy your brushes???
Such a tragedy that these parker razors are made in india ....and its impossible to find them in india
Really? Wow, that is a shame ☹️
