I gave a safety razor a try recently. Smartest move. Save tons of money, plus you actually get a much better shave.

@@dmitriy9985 I still need to shave my neck though!
Is it hard to use? Or is it the same as shaving with a mach 3 Gillette??
Dmitriy Ardatyev such an underrated comment lol 😂
@@dr.spectre9697 Not the same. It takes a couple of shaves to get the technique in your fingers. But a word of advice. Don't put any pressure on the safety razor (as you would do on a cartridge razor). Let the weight of the razor do the job. Also the razor needs to be angled about 30 degrees to your skin. As it's head does not pivot. Once you used to it, it becomes second nature.
watch my dad using safety razor, i remember that was the coolest thing, I'm 48 now and decided to give it a try, well, that was one of the smartest move i ever done, I'm enjoying shaving now than I i ever had.
Yep---once you make the conversion you'll never go back to cartridges!!
Wish I had switched before : X, best shave of my life
God, you're old.
yup me too.
damn it took you too long buddy
I'm 16 now and I've been shaving for 3 years now. I've always used crappy razors and they did the job but never gave the desired results. I just got my safety razor and I'm loving it thanks to this how to video.
How ya doing at 20 now? Still using a safety razor?

@@kko9329 yeah man some guys develop early.. WAY EARLY
Anyone recommend a brand/razor?
I just shaved with a safety razor for the first time today. It looks intimidating, but the technique feels a lot like shaving with a multi-blade safety razor. But it's amazing! My face doesn't hurt after shaving anymore.
I'm a huge wet shave nerd! Welcome to the family, good on you for taking the plunge :)
Instructions unclear: accidentally shaved my grandpa
Me too lad
lol
LMAO😂😆😁
Hope he likes his nice smooth balls!
@@keithkrone77 YOU WHAAT?!
I'm 22, my mother bought me a bevel saftey double edged razor and it's the best thing I ever got. Being a black guy, getting razor bumps is a pain in the ass -_- at first I got them multi blade razors and I always got bumps no matter how careful I was shaving with the grain...then I got a electric razor for Christmas and I really wasn't satisfied with the shave as I still felt hair on my face. So I went to the barber every week to shave and I decided to ask if he can shave my face with a straight razor. After my face felt so smooth that I never want to use anything else. So a few weeks later my mom bought me the bevel razor. So worth the money :)
BLACKAAROW Your comment is months old but I just want to thank you for dropping the name of the razor. I would have never found it otherwise. I love the design and feel of Bevel. SO GOOD!
lol nice! you actually look forward to shaving rather than looking at it as a chore, haha
I’m thinking about making the switch myself!
@@gilbertgrape9969 Dont, these guys just like to use old stuff and think its cool because its old this whole traditional wetshaving thing is more like a cult if you ask me if you have irritation issues experiment with shave gels and foams and see which one you like the best and change your razor every 3 weeks
@@user-gw5rx Ignore this guy he probably couldn't figure out how to use it
Having never had a father to teach me to shave, I have used electric razors all my life. It's hard asking for help too because people think you should just know this stuff. Seeing this I'm definitely going to give it a try.
In todays day and age full of baby-daddies and single moms raising children, manly influence is much needed.
24 years ago I had my first shave with safety razor I got from my dad.I did that for 2 years untill I went in the army and ever since I been using that disposable whimpy crap of shave tools.Last night due to The art of manliness page and this video I returned to DE safety razor shave.My wife went crazy!She called my dad and my father in law to tell them that I went cuckoo and she got the same answer from both of them:Stop panicking woman,he just remembered how to be a man ! THNX a lot Art of manliness!Greetings from Dalmatia,Croatia.

Wtf
Safety razors rule
0:46
such an awesome line, makes me chuckle every time.
He's right, stupid safety razors are for old people and razor burn is just a sign of a good shave
@@user-gw5rx none of what you said is true.
@@user-gw5rx no
I think all art of manliness instructional videos should be in this format. I loved the info and laughed while learning. Great combo.
Men. You owe yourself this. This style of shaving. This routine. I promise you, you owe it to yourself to learn.
I have really REALLY sensitive skin. I found that using a beard trimmer as a way of taming my beard was the only choice I had, or so I thought. I finally tried a safety razor with shave soap and brush. Once I got the hang of using it, I found that it really WAS possible for me to have smooth skin again, without irritation, cuts, razor burn, or even acne. Some people don't like it because there are more steps involved than shaving with a normal razor. Just make it a part of your morning ritual. If you need a quick shave and don't have the time fore a safety razor, your Gillette disposables will be happy to take you back.
+Micaiah Baker this sounds like my life also. i have something called Seborrheic Dermatitis
“Bill, don’t be such a Nancy boy.”

How did you know my name???
'Nancy Boy' , code for don't be such a pussy.
Is this Steven Crowder's brother?
Yes
Mitchell Gillett sucks for him
Yo
We don't need no Gillett's around here.
I was just thinking the same hahahah
Yes
Once you've done it a couple of times you become so confident with it that you can't even imagine cutting yourself (kind of like most fears). Congrats on taking the plunge!
These sort of videos need to come back
I felt the same way in the beginning Rene. It took me some time to get the hang of it. My first shaves I was irritated and bleeding. But once I found the right technique, cream, razor and blades that worked for me, everything changed. It does take some trial and error at first, and each element plays a role in the experience. Keep at it, you'll get it, I know you will!
At stan vanalstin, some of us men are required by our profession to be clean shaven, police, fire, ems, military for example. Doesn't make us less of a man because we are clean shaven, and thos is an enjoyable way of shaving.
I feel bad for men who basically depend on their beards in order to look manly. Real men have the privilege of choice.
@@bluepearl_22 looks at those guys with killer jaw lines...
@@joshmeyer1167 exactly
blue_pearl_22 real men don't rely on their appearance at all
@Stripes Hummus Sure bud, whatever you say.
I cannot believe how I lived without this! All these wasted years with my electric shavers...
I like how on a video about using a safety razor, I got an advert for the new Wilkinson Sword 5-blade modern razor.
Used several expensive disposables over the years. Got a safety razor for christmas, so I've been putting it to use. Best shave I've had by far.
I'm 20 and have very, very sensitive skin. Making the change to a safety razor has really helped me reduce razor burn and bumps
great feedback alex. keep the blade/skin angle low with a light touch with a hydrated lather, regards dapper shaves

@@artofmanliness I think single blade gillette gaurd razor does good job with a close shave like safety razor as well as safety like gillette mach razors plus very cheap machine as well as blade cartridges. Rest alway's brush+cream+water is best.
Razors are always more satisfying than trimmers. The cream, the shave, the smooth face and at last the aftershave liquid that gives a tingling burn is one of the best feeling in the world.
I need to try this. I get razor burn every time with a cartridge razor.
HammerBlow500 yap, 3 or 5 blades. The first cut your hairs and others your skin.
You should try the Merkur-23C, such a good razor.
Me too. Since I use a razor knife i never had razor burn for the last 3 years!!
Don't loose your time, you will get red skin and some bleed
The original AoM article convinced me to try a traditional shave, and I'm so happy with it! I always had a raw, pink face after shaving with disposable razors and foam-in-a-can, but it's never happened with my safety razor. I actually enjoy shaving, a ritual I avoided previously.
I've thrown out all my temporary razors, and begun pestering all my male friends to try it this way. Many thanks, AoM!
Buying a safety razor was a really good investment for me. The difference between the razor I now have and the disposables I used to use was like night and day. Trust me, the initial cost is higher, but safety razors cost less over time, and you have tons of options for razors, blades, and soaps/creams. Not to mention that you get much closer of a shave. I recommend buying one!
I just ordered my first safety razor, I am so excited not to be using a cheese grater on my face anymore! Thanks for this video AoM. This is my first introduction to your channel, and I will definitely be checking out more of your videos.
I shaved for the first time properly in my entire life after watching this tutorial. It went great, thank you so much for such a simple, short and informative tutorial.
I actually had a safety razor for about a year before I found this. Was already better than any plastic multi blade I had ever used but this video still helped a lot.
great feedback, which is your favourite razor and blade? regards dapper shaves
Made the switch my freshman year of college, saved so much money over time plus recyclable blades help the planet
Tried this method when i saw the set going for a much cheaper price than those gillette ones. Cut my face up a few times on my first try but eventually got the hang of it. A much smoother and quicker shave than your regular blades.
the best video on shaving i have seen so far, love the old fashion format of it, thank you, very educative.
About to make the switch. I've been using Harry's razors, which are nice, but I've had enough of razor burn on my neck.
My grandpa's safety razor was nowhere to be found, but I got a Merkur 34C for Christmas. I'm sold! Noticeably smoother and more precise than a cartridge razor. It's a wonder that cartridge shaving ever caught on.
That was a spectacular video. Love the format.
Finally got a safety razor and it is the best shave I have ever gotten. My beard is really coarse and I always seem to have stubble when I use multi-blade razors. This time it was very smooth.
This is genius!! Love the 50's music ... Looking swell Bill! 👌😄
I really enjoyed this video! It made me feel like I was in school again watching one of those instructional safety videos :-) I just started shaving with a safety razor about a month ago and I'll tell you this: I will NEVER go back to cartridges!!! Not only were my cartridges waaaaaay too expensive but I was tearing my face up. Razor burn and razor bumps every time I shaved! Now my face is baby smooth and bump free. It takes you longer to shave because you have to be really careful but it's worth it.
Excellent job as always AoM.
To add to your list, I would also recommend the following:
- Merkur Model 180 Long Handled Safety Razor
- Feather razor blades (as sharp as it gets in my opinion)
- Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood shaving cream and aftershave
I can't post links in the comment, but all of these are also available on amazon
Till now even though i had all the necessary shaving resources like Shaving Soaps and a safety razor.But i did not know how to get a good lather from a soap.I had many efforts to learn to shave using safety razor.I have searched for many videos for the same on youtube.None of them were so informative as yours.other videos which i found were either trying to market their products or were not clearly mentioned proper step by step methods.I recommend everyone to watch this video.An Ultimate Video!
What a great video!
Agreed
Go back to the nut house you old quack
The DE safety razor is the best way to shave.
Are you utilising Safety razor too?
Thanks brett i remember first binge watching ur videos years ago n was hooked on the idea of shaving with a safety razor. I now do and love it. Love the smell of the proraso shaving cream... no heading back. Im hooked. Ty once again
Guys, try this. 1. Wet the face to soften the beard. Pat dry. 2. Apply a tablespoon of ordinary olive oil. Smear it all around and get your face good and greasy. 3. Wash your hands with ordinary soap. To your face, apply a thin coat of soap lather - very fast, just pat it on quickly. 3. Use your double-edged safety razor and shave. I guarantee this is the smoothest shave you will ever get, and it will cost you pennies per shave. I discovered this because I wondered how the ancient Greeks and Romans were able to shave without soap (it hadn't been invented yet.) The key is oil. Olive oil, which you can get from your kitchen, works very well, but any kind of oil will work too, such as apricot oil or almond oil. Once you try this, you'll never waste money on expensive razors or worthless shave creams again.
I use a mixture of jojoba oil and caster oil as a preshave and it works great ‘A Close Shave Every Shave’
I been using a rusty butter knife and kerosene for years, and after trying this wow the difference is amazing!
I'll occasionally shave with these newfangled safety razors, but my shave is usually better and more comfortable with my trusty straight-edge. When I'm too lazy to sharpen my blade though, these safety razors do the job fairly well. Plus even though a single sharpenable blade is always the most cost effective, even these double edge safety-razor blades are still much MUCH cheaper than the modern 9 blade nonsense. I know it's only 5 or so, but I still remember when they came out with two then 3 and only had 5 as a joke on Saturday Night live or Mad TV or something, and now they actually have 5. Completely unnecessary though, and proves that newer isn't always better, sometimes it's just lazier.
after how many shaves do you replace your blade?
These are hilarious, stylish and still informative. Keep it up guys.
I've been using a safety razor for a few weeks now, I'd recommend it to anyone. Nothing can compete with the feel you get from it.
i started shaving like 3 year from now, im 17, i shave like 3 times a week, i hace never gotten blood or hurt myself shaving, i learned by myself.😎
Great video. I have carried my safety razor, a shaving soap bar and a pack of blades, and shaved with cold water in the forest with these simple items. Not only you shave like a man (and your grandad), but your face feels awesome after it!
Followed this exactly, my face feels awesome.
I bought this thing called the Razor Pit, it cleans and sharpens your razor blades and really works well. I used a generic Target brand razor for over a month and it was still razor sharp, i only got rid of it because it was left in the shower and got rust where it couldn't be cleaned. To avoid in grown hairs try a grainy face scrub, i can shave without it because i'll get in growns like crazy and for after shave i use olive oil, works better than all the after shaves I've ever used!
Switching to a safety razor was the single best decision I have made in self care.
Been doing it this way for years..
cartridge and disposable razors are a rip off pricewise and a joke to shave with. Shaving should be something that you look forward to every morning. Loved the video!!
Reminds me of Bioshock lol
lol yeah xD
Everytime I think of anything retro or 1940s to late 50s I think of this type of stuff. And Bioshock! Such a good game with lovely retro feels.
I started shaving with a safety razor a few days ago and I love it
Started after reading about this on AoM way back. Saved a ton of money and still got a few of the bumper pack of blades I bought yrs ago.
If shaving after a shower, no need to warm the blade but on cold stubble it definitely helps. Much closer shave then the modern razors so far.
I use a safety razor because it's the only way I can shave without getting irritation or a sloppy look. I've tried all cartage razors, from 2 blades to 6, all kinds of electric razors. when I switched to DE shaving I got no more irritation and no more ingrown hairs, my face actually looks clean for once. DE shaving may take longer, but I no longer regret shaving, it's a whole new experience that's relaxing. Other forms of shaving may be faster, but I dont need to trade comfort for speed. Being 100x cheaper then cartage shaving is just an added bonus
Cool! Wonderful guide. Excellent Humor. I just started using a safety razor and the initial fear of cutting myself eased it's been mainly a great experience.
I just ordered my first safety razor today and I’m super excited about it! Lol
Maybe I’ll finally feel like a man. Wish me luck people
mrdannyx3, How’s it going with the new razor? There is a learning curve for DE shaving. I hope you have stuck with it! Not all blades and shaving creams are the same. You might have to experiment a little bit to find the best fits for you-every face IS different. Good luck!👍
Profe Sam hello! I’ve actually stuck it to it extremely well! Ever since I first ordered it, I have no touched a single Gillette razor. I get such a smooth shave and I feel so much cleaner after a shave with DE razor! I always use to have razor burn and now I never do! Also on top of everything else the razors are SOO much cheaper! I will literally never go back to standard shaving.
Mrdannyx3, it’s great to hear how well it’s going for you! Stick with it. Watching these videos is a great way to see new products and techniques. Slowly make changes in your shaving regimen and try new products to fine tune what works FOR YOU. Remember: there’s not just one right way to do things. Only what you discover works best for YOU. I enjoy having a few minutes to myself each day to experience some aromatherapy and enjoy the experience whether it is a pause in the morning before jumping into the hectic pace of most days or a chance to take a breath at the end of the day and let my motors idle down. Nowadays, with the lockdown, I look forward to shaving even more. And you don’t have to spend a great deal of money. There are plenty of inexpensive and reasonably priced shaving products out there.
This video is just the beginning their are a LOT of good videos out there that offer different techniques for various situations. For example multiple passes are need for a really close shave.
I have a really big mug used for things like cappuccino or soup and it works really well for building a lather. It's more like a steep sided bowl and quit a bit larger than a typical shaving mug.
I bought an Edwin Jagger safety razor today and used it a few hours ago. Fucking awesome! Considering that I haven't shaved in a week and looked like a vagrant, the results were amazing. The whole set up was: 40 dollars for the razor and it came with 5 blades, 6 dollars for 10 blades, and 9 dollars for Edwin Jagger shaving soap. I didn't get a brush, so I used my fingers. I can tell now that soap will last me a lot longer than the shaving gell and won't explode in my bag if I travel. I needed more cartridges for my shitty Schick so that would have been like 18 bucks for five at Rite Aid. So I threw it out. My dad has been using the same safety razor since I born over 30 years ago, and he tends to hoard packs of blades. Thanksgiving when I see him, I'll leave with a few packs that he probably doesn't know he has in the bathroom closet. So I may never pay for blades ever again, lol.
after how many shaves do you replace the blade?
The original AOM post converted me a couple years ago. I've never looked back. It does take a bit of practice and some trial and error to figure out what will work best for you as far as style of lathering (face or mug), how many passes, what type of blades, and so on. Personally, I use Astra blades (I find them sharper than Derby and smoother than Feather) and I go for a new one after three shaves.
How to Shave with a Safety Razor [VIDEO] buff.ly/1nS4aVo
I expect a followup video on how to not shave, like your great-great-great grandpa.
I just started using a safety razor at the beginning of the year. Love it. Wish i could find my dad's or grandfathers razor.
***** Not sure if you're joking or not. lol That's not a literal phrase.
It honestly feels like you’re not even shaving. You just feel the smooth exterior gliding over your face and a satisfying “hsssss” sound, and boom! There go facial hair! It’s actually mind-blowing
Tried it first time today! I had quite enough of 'raking my face with a rusty butter knife' so I bought a Muhle Safety Razor. I was quite nervous actually after reading the manual and seeing a lot of bloody warning pictures. But the result is very nice, and probably will improve with practice.
Can confirm. I'm a new DE shaver as well (been doing it for a few weeks now) and your technique will improve with more shaves. A word of advice: When shaving, do it away from any noise so you can hear the blade do it's work. If you aren't hearing the desired noise, slightly adjust your angle until you hear the blade cutting the hairs.
I just got my I-barber Sheffield wedge straight razor in the mail today. It's over 150 years old. Still gives an incredible shave.
1:12 "Nancy-boy." Classic funny :) Great job on the vid!
Awesome, I’ve been carrying my grandfathers old 40s Gillette razor since 02’.....shavers are super expensive, so I decided to give old grandpas razor a try!
When I was 16 I started shaving like this. Two years later never looking back
Same. 11 years later i still dont look back
I've just tried shaving with a safety razor. Seems really good, better than using some plastic disposable razor! Thanks AOM for this video.
Im 19 and I've been using a safety razor since i was like 16, always used to watch my grandpa as a kid, then my father who is in the military and shaves every day suggested that I try out safety razors rather than the other bullshit razors, life changing 😂
Murkur 34C is a great, and relatively inexpensive safety razor to begin with. Also Taylor of old bond street shaving cream is amazing, i also recommend feather blades.
"Say, that's swell!" Lmao
I've personally been thinking of getting a Merkur 34C for a long time or the Edwin Jagger DE89... but I am really happy with my Parker 99R.
I love how the mirror doors make it look like he's wearing suspenders. Just ads to the whole 50s vibe.
This article is what turned me onto the site a few years ago. Had the hardest time finding a safety razor but ended up finding one at Sally's Beauty Supply out of all places a couple years back. Still getting the razor burn but I think it's because I tend to apply pressure and I'm using the cheap stuff for shaving cream. Also I noticed with the gel shaving cream it felt like I was applying the razor to an ice block.
I found my grandpas old razor! Gonna give in a try!!
Hey Antonio, once you get it down it'll go pretty quickly. Especially if you shave every day. Sometimes, when I'm in a hurry, I'll use the cream without the brush and it takes as much time as a "modern" shave.
Been safety razor shaving for a week and still get bloody :( It's always either on my jaw line where my cheek and neck meet or below my bottom lip/chin. I might have to buy a styptic pencil. Also my face always feels hot after! I might try products with menthol/eucalyptus and sticking with 1 pass until I can get the blade angle right...
Cole Byre ouch! I've been safety razor shaving for 2 months now and haven't run in to much discomfort. What blades are you using???
Kadyn Rumph Well right now I'm using Gillette 7 o'clocks but I also cut myself with Astra SPs. I bought a sampler pack.
Cole Byre I've never tried those exact blades, however I highly recommend Murker blades or Feather brand blades. I have found that the high quality Japanese steel of the Feather is best for me, but we all have different opinions, and facial hair.
if I may give a recommendation, buy the styptic pencil. I have a mole on my jawline that I've been irritating for 3 days now so I use it daily. it will sting like all hell at first but you get used to it. I've been shaving twice daily with my old gillette super speed and 7 o'clock super platinum blades as well as bic chrome platinum. try the chrome platinum blades too. they're incredibly smooth and sharp.
michael z Thanks for all the tips! Yup I have a mole in the exact same spot halfway down my jawline. I'll have to remind myself to get one next time at the drug store. Changing to a shave soap with menthol completely cured the burning sensation I was getting though.
I've been a fan of AoM for about 4 years and have really wanted to "shave like my grandpa" but shaving like this takes a lot of time and equipment. But I think this video gave me the push to order the stuff.
SHORT easy strokes Billy!
Ralph Onesti are we still talking about shaving??
Did my first safty razor shave moments ago... it. Felt. Great!
Ja ja ja Good Video But Ending was hilarious
My barber who has 40 yrs experience uses a straight razor or a safety razor depending on his customers preference.
I prefer the safety razor the main thing he told me is keep the facial hair as wet as possible I haven't had any problems after following his advice.
Just tried this....for the first time in my life I have a face cut up from shaving. Clearly I did something wrong.
+SaturnTubes Damn, must have gone too hard or something. I tried this having only ever used an electric razor my whole life and didn't cut myself at all.
+SaturnTubes Don't worry. It'll happen the first few times. Best to keep an alum piece nearby.
I have improved a lot since then. I personally use Astra blades as opposed to whatever my razor came with, I am gentile and not too fast, I use Barbersol cream and spray it into a cup and mix it with my brush before applying to my face(shave soap and tube creams never helped) afterwords I use both a gel and a splash to protect from a rash. It's a longer process, but it works well
Of course I still shave with a jar of Vaseline
next to me, just in case.
each side is good for one shave, so 2 days total. However, you can get 100 razors for $12, meaning you get 200 shaves for that $12
This video converted me to safety razors. It's been the best choice I could have made. Though I do nick myself sometimes, nothing a stop bleed pencil can't fix.
great feedback sir, wetshaving is the best way to shave, but you know this now. regards dapper shaves
How to Shave with a Safety Razor [VIDEO]
I always though security razor are just as useless as actual ones. Yeah, the blades are cheaper. But still, you have to change and throw them.
Straight FTW :-D
And some regular razor shaping.
Art of Manliness I've been shaving like that since 2011 and I'll never go back to using the plastic razor POS's.
hi AOM, what colognes and aftershave brands do you suggest? I have old spice cologne and aftershave any other suggestions? great videos by the way and thanks!
Hi Antonio Del Rio. I'm not affiliated with AOM, but here is my shaving recipe: Osma soap with alun stone, shaving, use a wet alun stone to calm the burns and clean the eventual cuts, dry face without polishing with the towel, and à simple shea butter cream to hydratate.
No Cologne. No cream with strange chemicals inside.
That was my 2 cents. Happy shaving !
This vintage feel is timeless !
I use that Brute after shave, the one in the green bottle.
Brut is nice, but I prefer Aqua Velva and Old Spice myself. Old Spice and Brylcreem or Aqua Velva and Groom and Clean are good scent/ hair product combos.
Josh Nixon Have you ever tried Stetson aftershave? It's my favorite and it isn't too strong.
TIMMMAY67 I have tried it before, to me, it actually smells somewhat flowery, almost like a perfume, and I wasn't expecting that. It just doesn't work with my body chemistry.
TIMMMAY67 I love stetson. I'm buying an other bottle as soon as I see it
Love my safety razor. Best move I ever did with shaving. It’s made it something I enjoy and look forward to. I’ll never go back to cartridge razors ever. I bought a box of 100 Derby blades for $8.99. One blade will last about 3 shaves so 300 days for $8.99? Yes. I have a straight razor but I’m not very good with it. One day I’ll graduate lol
I think I just found out why shaving has been such a source of trouble for me. Thanks AoM! I'm off to the grooming goods emporium!
Who else is here after the gillette controversy?
Me because I'm finally getting a safety razor.
I am because I wanted to find an alternative.
Same
Palet cleanse.
I got my 2 edged razor. As far as I am concerned Gillette should put their products in the tampon section
VDH is a great set to begin with, I think most people get introduced to wet shaving with it. It was my first set, and still my favorite puck of shaving soap.
How the heck did I get recommended this in 2019
Awesome, that Parker 99R in the video is the actual one I've been using ever since I started using a safety razor, it's quite the hefty razor.
Here's where 2019 people strike with the
2013: no
2014: no
2019: yes
Blah blah im too lazy
Why'd it take so long, double edges are fantastic :)
A lot of fun AoM. Thanks for educating us in the ease of use of a safety razor!
Jordan Crowder . . . . Any relation to Steven Crowder?
CountArtha they are brothers
Just started using a safety razor at 19. Honestly, I’ve never experienced such a nice shave until now, I’m never buying multi blade razors again
well said sir, what’s your favourite razor at present? regards dapper shaves
Was considering buying a decent safety razor,and I knew you guys would have a decent how to about them.
Thank you again.
