His parents named him Nick because they knew He would have a shaving channel and get bleeders. lol
Do not use the paint scraper single edge blades that you buy at Home Depot.
+1 Single edge blades for shaving are 3 facet edge blades. Utility blades are single facet. Big difference.
Love the single edge razors. I have a few of the vintage models. Important for viewers to know there are two grades of single edge blades; homeowner/construction grade, then shaving grade SEs. No issues with the soap fiasco... stuff happens! Great to see your regular vids back. Thanks Nick!
Hey, Nick. (And everyone). Just bought the new blue and white boar brush from Stirling. I think you'll love it. Bigger and denser knot than the owner's club. And it's on sale for like 7.95 right now. Would love to see you review it!
Your facial expression looks really funny at 17:12.
You look like one of those cartoon characters with their mouth stretched wide open. Lol.
Hey nick, I have been enjoying my Charcoal Goods razor and Timeless razor. They are very different but both awesome smooth shavers. Any chance you can review them and share to your subscribers some newer high-end products?
markmongo44 Very interested in the timeless razor. How do you like it?
I have a genetic predisposition to ingrown hairs and shaving bumps. Two days after shaving my cheeks are full of shaving bumps. My research says it's genetic, a mutation in the hair protein. I have to use the Trimmer, which doesn't shave very well either. I'm really unhappy. The solution is laser treatment. But with my black skin I haven't found a laser for African skin. Hahahaha
I don't think I've ever seen anyone work that hard to produce a lather. Good work Nick!
Hey nick I have a question, how old were you when you started shaving? And how old were you when you were able to grow a full beard?
I started shaving when I was about 14-15 years old. I couldn't really grow a full beard into my mid to late 20's
nick shaves nice!!! Thank you for your answer!!!
Nick, were you ever in the military?
You have a military-type look to you.
Dont load soft soaps/creams from the container. Scoop some out and place in the brush, or put it in a palm bowl and load the brush from there.
Can you do a video on the OneBlade, similar to this shaver. The price is scaring me!
As it should!
I know! The genesis is $400 and the core is $50. I'd be game for the core and can afford it. $400 is pretty dang pricey, very hard to justify in my mind
I'm with you on the $400 razor purchase. But, I'm also hesitant to buy a $50 plastic razor. Injection molded plastic just isn't as precise or durable. The plastic handle is fine, but it would have been better with a steel or aluminum head.
Nick, we all miss you and please start making shaving videos again. Until then we all waiting!!
Nick, maybe film once trying ATG to see how it goes? How was the Razorock soap?
I have sensitive skin and is difficult for me to go BBS without irritation. 3 passes only (WTG & XTG) and touchups like you do and that's all. It is very good, but not perfect.
PS: I have a lot of soaps too,not so many like you of course, but did you ever have a problem with any soap that went bad?How long do you keep them in there? Do you do anything specific with storage?
Good video nick I just have a quick suggestion if you could do a updated shave den tour.And I was wondering if you ever got to the Botton of a shave soap puck.
Nick, Santa Maria Del Fiore is my favorite soap. I would say I use it for 75% of my shaves. Like you, I found that it hardened over time, so I actually do bloom it now. Great results!
Hi there Nick, I'm new to your channel & I'm really digging your vid's! I'm also new to wet shaving & I've really learned a lot from watching your stuff. I can't believe I'm saying this but, I actually look forward to shaving now. By the by, I just subscribed, keep those awesome vid's coming!
Hello Nick,
You are really good and you give good tips.
I have sensitive skin and coarse beard, it does not grow fast but coarse hairs. Can you tell which razor blades you recommend and what shaving soap or shaving cream you recommend.
Best regards Bojan
If you feel like experimenting, I like using a 50/50 mixture of Proraso green AS and Osage Rub as my aftershave splash. That way I get the kick and cooling power of Osage Rub but the lingering scent and skin friendliness of Proraso.
I haven't tried the saber yet, I just bought the blackbird black oxide open comb. Love it. Something I've done on antique GEM razors is lay the head pretty much flat against my face and it gives it a great angle to shave with. I am not sure with the sabre and Shane did say it is flexible. This may help on your neck but if you get irritation doing it that way, it wasn't me hahaha. I haven't seen all of your posts or videos lately but you should check out the Focus Slim AL shavette. It's a mild shavette that is very easy to shave with.
I'd like to hear how this razor shaves with something like C&S or Valobra, maybe Tabac. Something super protective and cushioning.
I don't know if you will see this comment or not,but I was hoping you could review the vikings blade cheiftan safety razor. I am considering buying it and would like to hear your thoughts. I have never used a safety razor and looking forward to start.
Most important thing I took from this video: Don't buy Razorock cream.
As they sit croaps turn into crap, you'll notice it looked porous and dry, that much less moisture as the oils seep down, I find blooming to be helpful then and a good bowl lather so as not to waste product, sucks getting air bubbles out of aerated creams. Sleek looking razor though nice one.
Hey Nick, that sabre looks awesome! Unfortunately, SE razors didn't work out for me.
Just wondering if you could do a few reviews of hard soaps? The artisan croaps is pretty much all see these days. It'd be fun to see some hard milled soap reviews.
hey Nick, another great vid, not sure if the range of soaps made by Wickham soap Co is available near you yet, think they may have just made over to the states, i def recommend giving them a try, incredible lather and performance.
I think you should go without blooming for a while to explore the other side of things. I find blooming my soaps decreases their scent overtime (and I'm not alone in that conclusion).
I can't stand Voskod blades. I nicknamed it the "mad russian" on a EJ 89 razor it just beat me up! I use those blades as a back up and one use only...
I think it would be entertaining to see you shave with a Stirling Glacial soap since you're so sensitive to the menthol. Lol. I'd be curious to see if you can get through an entire shave. Lol
Great shave again, Nick. It's good to see you back on camera. You were the first shaving channel that I did start watching. I found that the SE blades are a heck of a lot more forgiving than DE blades once you get the angle down and the technique. They can be very, very close and comfortable. Have a great day!
Hey Nick just curious is you are willing to try out a new soap a buddy of mine is trying to get it in the hands of some UA-cam shavers. If you are interested let me know and I will need your Facebook name to message you information.
get him to email me Aj
I'm fine with out the editing done too. What I liked about this video was the problem solving. I've had issues getting a good lather before especially with new soaps and I'm not always sure what the best way to address the issue is.
I have to say I would have gone straight to the lathering bowl after a failed face lather. Congratulations on sticking it out. Enjoyed the video.
Hi Nick! Thank you for your amazing videos. Please let us know your personal opinion about water temperature. Do you use cold, warm or hot water for shaving? Cheers
Nick, you might want to try some Ted Pella Personna Gem blades. They are outstanding.
Hate that u had a rough lather at first but it's nice to see that a pro still has issues much like us newbies. Great advice on how to salvage the lather. Many of us would have just to heck with it and started completely over.
Nick do u have any tips on what to do and not to do on the first time using a safety razer? I just got my merkur 34c today and I just don't want to cut my face all to shreds
Hey Nick - why don't you do a shave off between a Merkur 34c and that razor?
Can you please review Chiseled Face Cryogen or B&M Arctique shaving soaps?? :)
Very nice video Nick)) thank you so much man). Hello from Russia 🇷🇺
Hey nick can you shave with the rockwell 6s or 6c in the r6 plate please and use the triple butter shave soap it's a water hungry soap
Funny how I bought some new soaps and creams and I still love using my omega 10098 brush in a shaving mug with a van der hagen soap in it.
Nick I have noticed that you do a lot of squinting. Lol. I do enjoy your videos though.
Thanks for reviewing this razor, Nick. I've had my eyes on that one. Hope you have a great end to your week, bud.
David
Good video Nick as always, I love those Gem blade they do a good job, i have been going some of the stuff you do like the three pass make it alot better, but again great video nice to see you rolling them out like this
Great recovery with the cream Nick. Another great shave. Look forward to the next video.
Hey nick what's your name on Facebook?
Nick, I'm going to try your mantra on my wife. Clean, hydrated, and ready to go!!
Had you done a bowl lather this problem wouldn't have occurred.
.. great video though as always!
Can you make an episode or include it on how you form your hair and what gel you use
Nick, how about the brass General?
Nick! This is the first time I have seen the lather fall apart for you!
Man, you need there must be something you can do about the lighting.
I remember Nick bailing once on an Arko stick's lather; glad you got the RazoRock to behave! Great video, Nick! Thanks again for the content...
Thanks for another great video Nick. I have bought loads of stuff on your recommendation and i have never been disappointed (apart from voskhod haha). I love the aftershave too.
Thanks man! I am glad. I try to be as honest as possible in my videos. If there are products that I don't like, I just contact the company to give my feedback.
Do you have a brush cleaning tutorial?
Nick, I know that you use aftershaves with alcohol in them. My question to you is that do you think alcohol-based aftershaves are bad for your skin? I know there's a lot of talk about how they're bad.
Also, how long do the scents for shave soaps last? I just bought 10 sample pucks from Sterling and I'm wondering if the scents have a "shelf-life," if you will.
Thanks in advance!
Hey man! I know this was directed twords Nick and he hasn't been uploading for a while. In my experience it really all depends. Use an alcohol based aftershave for a week and see how your skin feels. If you notice it's drying up too much then ease up or maybe only use one every other day. I use to avoid alcohol based aftershaves but after using them for a while I actually see their benefit of soothing/disinfecting your skin. Plus not all alcohol based aftershaves are built the same. Those with heavy scents do bother me. I make my own with 1 part 70% alcohol and 1 part witch hazel. I actually put some uncoated aspirin tablets in the mixture to add to it's anti inflammatory properties. Hopes this helps and praying you are okay after all these years 🙏
@@jhonayo4887 Dang thanks for the detailed response. Much respect. Shaving isn't a big hobby of mine anymore. I just wet my face and use a DE to get the job done. Feather blades are so sharp that lathering and aftershave are two extra steps that I'd rather not spend the time on.
I hope you're doing well 😊
Great video, Nick! It would be nice if you'd use your CaD shaving soap in one of your upcoming videos.
Why do you think you got a poor first lather? Do you have an explanation? I love that soap and I have never had any problems with it.
I have never had a problem with this soap before, I think that I just underloaded and had too much water in the brush
nick shaves Thanks for the reply. I am really enjoying the daily content!
Hey i messaged you on Facebook
Hey i messaged you on Facebook
Can you send a link to your image on your wall ?
Agree, really nice image on your wall Nick. Would love to know where you found it.
Nice to see you back regularly Nick.
Phenomenal audio feedback
Did you buy this? Or was it sent to you to build awareness / generate sales based on your influence? I saw that Scott recently received one...then Mantic was sent one and decided to buy it. What is the price point?
This is a bit pricey at $185. I was sent this razor for review - which I plan to return or do a giveaway with when I am done
I should have mentioned that in the video! I buy 99% of all products I use, but I have had a few things sent for me to review over the years. I will be sure to mention that in future videos. At the price of this razor, I wouldn't have purchased this myself to try out, as I don't have any experience with razors that use Gem blades
Thank you for the response Nick. I have a ton of respect for that. I understand vendors and companies send products to people with larger audiences/followers for their input. The video reviews help to build awareness, and hopefully generate sales. Thanks for clearing it up. It's very generous of you to take the time to make the videos and give back to the community. It's a nice looking razor, but I agree the price point is not for everyone. All the best...stay well.
Thanks for bringing this up! I really should have mentioned it. Honestly, I was feeling a bit rushed this morning while shaving, the first lather sucked, I needed to get to work... I meant to mention it.
I will be sure to mention it in a future video with this razor
we miss you nick
Love the vids!
Nice video, but how come you're not fast forwarding this video during editing anymore?
+GoldenSteelTV I do like speeding up the videos during more dull moments. But that takes quite a bit of editing and was becoming a hindrance to creating new video content. So I decided to just post the raw videos.
What do you think of this new format?
nick shaves I like it, it conforms to today's shaving videos made by others
nick shaves
More content less editing is great. I can fast forward myself. BTW I would love to know what is in your homemade soap Nick!
Glad to hear it!
Good! Glad it doesn't hinder the watching experience
Noice
*Thanks for the video Nick!*
I find it difficult for me to get behind a razor that has *extremely limited or proprietary blades.* _That is a ploy that cartridge razor makers have been using for years. It just gives me pause._
David, the GEM blades are not propriety and are widely used in the scientific field as well as shaving. They will be around and readily accessible for the foreseeable future.
I wasnt impressed with the USD$185 Sabre and a replacement, more efficient base plate at an extra $80-90 makes for a damned expensive experiment compared to the proven single-edge, feather artisan razor blades in say a colonial, or hark, ATT. The Sabre was a bust for me.
Great video and great recovery on the lather. Good advice on the approach with this razor. Thanks.
