That’s a nice shave Chris! I only have 1 Noble Oter soap, but it’s a banger …I really like it. Gotta love the mighty Weck! She requires a light touch like you said, and she will take care of the rest. Best wishes to you and the family brother.
@@IAMCDB you’re welcome Chris! I could tell from here that Weck was ticking all the boxes today.. looked great, and yeah, it’s a bummer tbe scent wasn’t a winner but like you said, performance is great!
I love the Weck! So happy that I got one this year. It's definitely a wicked shaving instrument. In regard to content creators being honest, you're 100% correct.

Great Shave Brother Never Tried A Wack But By The Looks Of It Dang What A Awesome Shave. Hope All Is Well With You & Your Family Much Love & Respect . PREYERS 🙏❤FOR YOUR FAMILY
Morning Chris ! Thank god you plucked out that loose hair from the razor on the first strokes. It was making me crazy!!!!! Sending Love you’re way. ❤️ hope today is a good day for mom and your mother in law
I have used Neon and to me it’s a lime forward scent. Like you said, it’s not unpleasant. There’s just something about it that’s not pleasant. With so many other great shave soaps in my den to choose from, Neon is going to get passed up.
Bought & use a Weck after watching you talk them up so much , boy you wasn’t wrong I love it . Haven’t used the Kismet blades yet . Just haven’t ever bought any of the Noble Otter offerings , after hearing how weakly scented they are I just don’t think it would be my cup of tea , I really like strong scents . Have a safe trip when you go back home .
@@buddyblankenship4186 I’m so glad you like the Weck Buddy, that’s awesome! If you like really strong scents quite a few of these would be misses I think.
I haven't used either. I have tried Noble Otter and like Rawr and northern Elixir, not too sure about two kings, these are the only ones I've tried. Nice shave. Have a great weekend and a blessed day.
Unfortunate that the soap did not meet expectations but hey the shaver did you well. I hope the rest of your day will progresses as wonderfully as the Weck.
Nice shave mate! Weck with the Kismet is top notch! Matti sent me Noble Otter Hamami that he got from Marion. I used it a few times. Great performance but it smells like old geezer BO. Or feet. I passed it forward to Johan. 😅🤷🏼♂️
I am really interested in Noble Otter. I really like the labels, but your experiences have me a little gun shy until I can smell before I buy. Thanks for the honest reviews.
That was a great shave Chris, and the feedback from the Weck was so great. 😌👏 It is such an amazing razor. As you, me, Frank and many others say, you do need to have a good touch to use it, but if you do it can be effortlessly good. I haven’t tried Noble Otter, it does look a high quality soap, and that label is stunning. It’s a shame you aren’t enamoured of the scent. I hope you’re having a great Sunday, and of course my best wishes as always to you and the family.
@@IAMCDB Thank you! It has become a popular razor, and I think that’s got a lot to do with people like you, Marion and DK. None of you are known as primarily shavette shavers and I think it’s made it more accessible. 😌
All things considered it was a good shave. I just received a sample of Noble Otter Barrbarr. Not my favorite Barbershop scent, but not off putting and it is quite pleasant.
Kind of glad I didn’t get this soap after everything I’ve heard about the scent. The Weck is absolutely phenomenal! Easily in my top 5 razors. Add a Kismet blade and it’s dang near impossible to beat.
I'm in the same boat on Noble Otter. I sincerely want to like their stuff but I've got one Noble Otter soap that I truly like, the others are off so bad, I had to send it down the road. It's a huge bummer cuz I love the label art, but I held off on this one too for the same reasons you described. On paper homerun, but application has been way off for me too.
Straight up Sunday! That was great and now I feel like I have to get the Weck out! That Kismet blade is so good that I've been thinking about a SE razor that could use that blade. I did get inspired by your sponsorship to get my friend to actually get the Leaf. I told him I almost ordered one for him in a message and he said to just get it for him and he'd pay me back. So I picked up a Thorn for me when I ordered his. HaHa! I need better self control!
Good morning Chris, great shave! The label art is really nice it’s a bummer that you didn’t enjoy the scent. Have a good weekend. I hope your mother, mother in law & your nephew are doing well. Take care & God bless you and your family 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Nice shave, Chris. That Weck sure does take finesse - and care to mind the length: my first time out with it, I just caught the nook where my ear meets my head. 😫 A crimson reminder that lasted a week or two. But otherwise a phenomenal shave.
Morning Chris. Sorry for the disappointment in the soap. Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs 🐸 before you find a princess 👸. God bless and be safe.
Wonderful Weck shave Chris! I am sure artisans smell test their soaps, but U can't understand how they can release soaps that are not wowzers. I know that everyone's sniffer is different, but they should at least make sure that their scent strength is medium. Anyway, enjoy your day!
can’t beat that kismet blade in my opinion but for me straight out the box they are scary sharp 😱😱 about the 3rd shave for me they become right on point 👌👌👌 . can’t win em all on soaps that’s for sure . had to pull the trigger brother . ordered the droid from paa soap splash and edt . just could not wait for them to hit the uk 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kismet blades aren't that sharp in my opinion. Sometimes I even feel they are very dull. Feather, BIC, Wilkinson Sword (Germany) blades are much sharper than Kismet.
I guess that's why they call this a YMMV hobby. With the weck being so light, a sharp blade is essential. The Kismet just erases whiskers without any hint of tugging for me. Many other feel the same way. That said, blade preference is quite subjective.
Chris have you thought about the proportion of guys who do the traditional wet shave? It must be less than 5% of the male population. Room to grow for us evangelists.
Jack said that this scent was thoroughly inoffensive. Which seems how you feel. It's sad that I have not yet seen your face light up at most Noble Otter soaps.
What a disappointing scent for you, considering the higher price than the standard NO offerings you would want something more than just pleasant. Take care and keep safe Chris.
Very nice Noble Otter shave, Chris!
Thanks Bill, I appreciate it very much sir.
Great shave Chris! I really like the Weck.
Thanks Jason. I really enjoy it as well.
I have 7 Noble Otter sets in my den and I really enjoy the scent on each of them. Just goes to show how subjective this hobby can be.
Great Video!
Yes sir, scent preference is highly subjective indeed:)
That’s a nice shave Chris! I only have 1 Noble Oter soap, but it’s a banger …I really like it. Gotta love the mighty Weck! She requires a light touch like you said, and she will take care of the rest. Best wishes to you and the family brother.
Thanks Justin. The Weck was spectacular as always today. The NO was not so great on scent but very good quality at least:)
@@IAMCDB you’re welcome Chris! I could tell from here that Weck was ticking all the boxes today.. looked great, and yeah, it’s a bummer tbe scent wasn’t a winner but like you said, performance is great!
@@JMac. Thanks Justin!

Thanks Chris! Hope your family has a better day today! Look forward to your upcoming soaps & shaves! Take care of yourself! Best
Thanks Mack, I appreciate it brother!
nice video, Chris !! thanks
Thank you very much razor!
Good Morning Chris. Another great shave as always. That soap is awesome ...thanks so much for your time and dedication 👏👏🇦🇷🇦🇷
Thank you very kindly Lori. I hoe you have a great day! Blessings to you.
Nice Shavette shave, the new camera is looking very good.
Thanks so much Mike, I appreciate you brother!

Thanks brother. Wishing you many blessings.
Great video! Love my Weck! Sounded like buttering toast! I used it today with a Personna blade!
I’m so glad you like it Pete. It’s an awesome razor IMO:)
Is the Weck available anywhere? I cannot find it anywhere I have looked.
You can find them on EBay
Buddy is right. Mostly on Ebay, Etsy, and so forth. They haven't been made for a long time.
Thanks Buddy.
Morning Chris ! Thank god you plucked out that loose hair from the razor on the first strokes. It was making me crazy!!!!! Sending Love you’re way. ❤️ hope today is a good day for mom and your mother in law
Haha, thanks Kim. Sometimes it’s easier for you to see it than me:)
Have you used a Weck or Noble Otter Neon Sun? If so, let me know what you think.
😶
I have used Neon and to me it’s a lime forward scent. Like you said, it’s not unpleasant. There’s just something about it that’s not pleasant. With so many other great shave soaps in my den to choose from, Neon is going to get passed up.

Thanks Mike. I hope you have an excellent evening sir!
Have you seen that apshaveco has a razor now?
I haven’t seen that yet Chad.
Doesn't a flat pour just mean its cold process not hot process soap?
I don’t know to be honest. I don’t make soap myself, so I never really investigated.
Unfortunate that the soap did not meet expectations but hey the shaver did you well. I hope the rest of your day will progresses as wonderfully as the Weck.
That's ok, sometimes we miss:) The Weck was absolutely on point and I enjoyed it very much:)
On our dutch forum they said Neon sun is the same scent as CIF.
What is CIF?
Nice shave mate!
Weck with the Kismet is top notch!
Matti sent me Noble Otter Hamami that he got from Marion. I used it a few times. Great performance but it smells like old geezer BO. Or feet. I passed it forward to Johan. 😅🤷🏼♂️
Thanks Frank. I’m sorry you didn’t like the scent. That said, you found the perfect gent to send it to in Johan:)
@@IAMCDB exactly!😂
I may have asked you this before, but have you tried the annie hair shaper? Great video!
Not so far, just Personna and the Kismet.
@@IAMCDB I have one and imagine that it’s similar to the mighty weck but I will have to shave to for sure.
@@lawrence1md It probably is.
Mighty great shave, Chris.
Thoughts and strength.
Thanks Lee, I appreciate you brother!
I am really interested in Noble Otter. I really like the labels, but your experiences have me a little gun shy until I can smell before I buy. Thanks for the honest reviews.
I would say try to get some samples and see what you think. You may find that you really like the scents. Scent is highly subjective:)

Thanks Dave. I’m glad I tried that Weck after seeing you, Frank, and others using it. It’s really an amazing razor. Have a great day Dave!
@@IAMCDB Thank you! It has become a popular razor, and I think that’s got a lot to do with people like you, Marion and DK. None of you are known as primarily shavette shavers and I think it’s made it more accessible. 😌
@@bendycard It’s my favorite shavette. There’s something really nice about using all blade with no bevels or training wheels:) It’s an amazing razor.
I still have to pick up a Weck. Too bad the soap wasn’t better lathered. Ordered Droid Black myself. I’m sure that will be a winner.
The Weck is always amazing, it never lets me down.
All things considered it was a good shave. I just received a sample of Noble Otter Barrbarr. Not my favorite Barbershop scent, but not off putting and it is quite pleasant.
Thanks James. That’s one of the few I like. It’s not my favorite but I do like it:)
Kind of glad I didn’t get this soap after everything I’ve heard about the scent.
The Weck is absolutely phenomenal! Easily in my top 5 razors. Add a Kismet blade and it’s dang near impossible to beat.
Some folks liked it fortunately for them but it was certainly a miss for me. The Weck was definitely not a miss:)
The mighty Weck!!! Great shave despite the soap scent "let down"...
Thanks Jarred. I hope you’re doing well brother!
I'm in the same boat on Noble Otter. I sincerely want to like their stuff but I've got one Noble Otter soap that I truly like, the others are off so bad, I had to send it down the road. It's a huge bummer cuz I love the label art, but I held off on this one too for the same reasons you described. On paper homerun, but application has been way off for me too.
We’ll hope for scents we like down the road perhaps:)
Love the look of those Lancaster shave towels and the brush mug but the etsy store has no stock :(
Hi sir. He does drops every few months or so. Stay tuned to the channel and my social media and I will let you know when the next drop comes around.
Straight up Sunday! That was great and now I feel like I have to get the Weck out! That Kismet blade is so good that I've been thinking about a SE razor that could use that blade.

Awesome Shadow. I hope you and your friend enjoy them. They’ve been great for me. Have a great afternoon sir:)

Nice shave, Chris. That Weck sure does take finesse - and care to mind the length: my first time out with it, I just caught the nook where my ear meets my head. 😫 A crimson reminder that lasted a week or two. But otherwise a phenomenal shave.
You definitely have to be careful with the Weck. Greater risk but also greater reward:)
The two Noble Otter sets that I own are both nice but very weakly scented.
This one was pretty low also. It wasn't a win but you can't win all the time:)
Sorry you had a miss on the scent buddy but at least you still enjoyed your time!
It happens sometimes Jud. I hope you have a great day sir!
Morning Chris. Sorry for the disappointment in the soap. Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs 🐸 before you find a princess 👸.
God bless and be safe.
This is true John! I hope you have a great day sir!
I am the same way about NO. Love the company, great soap, and one of my favorite designs/labels, but the scents are more miss than hit with me.
Yes, it’s disappointing but we can’t win em all:)
Great shave with the Weck. You gave that soap an honest run…….time to move on.
Yes sir. I gave it the ole college try:)
Wonderful Weck shave Chris! I am sure artisans smell test their soaps, but U can't understand how they can release soaps that are not wowzers. I know that everyone's sniffer is different, but they should at least make sure that their scent strength is medium. Anyway, enjoy your day!
Well, I’m sure a lot of people will like this one, it just isn’t for me:)
I had the same reaction to their Monarch soap. It was my first time buying from them and it was pretty underwhelming, honestly.
We can’t win them all:)
can’t beat that kismet blade in my opinion but for me straight out the box they are scary sharp 😱😱 about the 3rd shave for me they become right on point 👌👌👌 . can’t win em all on soaps that’s for sure . had to pull the trigger brother . ordered the droid from paa soap splash and edt . just could not wait for them to hit the uk 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They're an awesome blade for sure. I hope you enjoy the droid. It's really great I think.
Kismet blades aren't that sharp in my opinion. Sometimes I even feel they are very dull. Feather, BIC, Wilkinson Sword (Germany) blades are much sharper than Kismet.

Chris have you thought about the proportion of guys who do the traditional wet shave? It must be less than 5% of the male population. Room to grow for us evangelists.
I'd say your right Dino, it might be even less than that. We Evangelists have a lot of work to do:)
Jack said that this scent was thoroughly inoffensive. Which seems how you feel.
It's sad that I have not yet seen your face light up at most Noble Otter soaps.
Yes sir. It's absolutely inoffensive, but there wasn't enough to really love.
What a disappointing scent for you, considering the higher price than the standard NO offerings you would want something more than just pleasant. Take care and keep safe Chris.
Sadly we can’t win em all Unc:) Blessings to you sir!
Good morning….
Good morning Calvin! Or I should say, good night:)
Ill be the first to say it ! This is the most disappointing soap of 2021 I had high hopes for this one. 😔
👁 👁
👀
I had high hopes as well. I hope some folks like it and enjoy it.
