Ken surfs you have such a good personality. You have such a likeable personality. I think you may have never had any haters or enemies in your life. The comment section in your videos are also very positive because you are a very positive person. I've never seen trolls in the comment section in your videos. Damm I wish I was like you.
neil dsouza Well said ,I couldn't agree more.My woman will here me playing a Ken video and stop what shes doing and watch with me......
neil dsouza Thank you very very much for the kind words👍👍💈
Truth! Ken is the only shave reviewer I still watch for the most part. That good nature just shines through the video, and you just feel like you’re hanging out with a friend talking shave stuff.
His voice almost reminds me of Paul Harvey's. Ken you should be a radio show host 🙂
@@dixee6498 NONO - This is Jack Nicholson's voice i think :-)
The Twig (the clear razor) is for under the nose.
You loaded the right two blades. The top blade hardly cuts, but it does help a bit when you use all 3 blade slots.
I have seen bad reviews for this razor come from two things:
1) They didn't use the pivot
2) They loaded only the top and middle blades
Rick Reynolds Awesome Rick thank you 👍💈
The bottom and middle positions are the way to go with two blades. Close shave but forgiving like a cartridge.
I just bought one of these. I loaded all 3 blades and nicked myself (head shaving) three times. This never happens with a cartridge. I am thinking about taking out the 3rd (most aggressive) blade and trying it that way. Do you have any other tips?
@@RideByNight While you want to engage the pivot, you don't want to use near the pressure you'd use with most cartridges.
@@Rickpa Ok thanks. Will be trying again later this week.
Awesome I have a Vikings blade godfather I'm going to buy the Vikings emperor but now this is going to be on my list as well. I have very sensitive skin so I don't normally buy hybrid razors, but this looks like it'd be worth the money.
Indiana DIY Thank you👍👍💈
Really awesome my friends
Wow 😮 leaf razor
Jonathan Lewis Thanks Jonathan👍💈
Gotta love the burn Ken... The clear plastic razor in the box is for under the nose and the side burn area. The idea is to use two DE blades, three halves in the Leaf and one half in the Twig keeping all nice and tidy. YMMV. That's just what I was told anyway. Looked like it did the trick for you though, smooth looking shave. TOBS Grapefruit is super good cream with the most realistic scent, superb. Another great video Ken, thanks. Enjoy!
Terry M Thank you Terry👍💈
looks like a nice long lasting dopp kit.Pierre cardin making after shaves thats new.
👍👍
Great shave. It's cool to see the Leaf razor work as a substitute for cartridge razors everyone wastes their chunk of money on. Enjoy your vacation and have a great day
GoldenSteelTV Thank you👍💈
Not for me but after watching this, I would definitely recommend it to anybody whose skin can't handle a DE razor. Actually, I would give this a try, who am I kidding!?!? This hobby is too addicting! Highly informative video and entertaining as always. Have a great vacation, Ken!
Anthony Palermo Thanks Anthony👍💈
although i get a closer, nick free shave with the leaf shave razor, the closeness on my head makes my skin sweat more on a hot day :(
gabez8 👍👍💈
looks very interesting. I think my wife would love the leaf also.
HAHAHAHA!!!! I was wondering where you were, we missed you! Never travel without your NutSac!!
Lord SHADY lol👍👍💈
Hey I like that. A true modern classic I'm getting one.
Van yulay is the company that makes the bowl. 😀
Jimmy Shavesalot Awesome, Thanks Jim👍💈
Jimmy Shavesalot 😀👍👍
Checked out their website, they have some cool looking soaps, really like that bowl.
I'm pretty into van yulay soaps. They have tons of scents. The tallow soaps are just, awesome. When you order from them they send a sample of something they think you'll like
Cool, I'll check them out
I was waiting for this one hahaha! Looks like an awesome alternative to cartridge razors still being able to keep that “cartridge razor” feel. Really cool video Ken!
Yash Patel Thank you👍💈
Looking forward to the away shaves Ken. Enjoyed your previous videos from Mammoth Mountain and Lake Tahoe so looking forward to seeing some of that great scenery again. Have a good vacation 👍🏻.
CeeKay7 Thank you👍💈
I never miss a Chelsea game or a Ken Surfs video
Marcus On The Moon Thank you Marcus👍💈
Glad you like this razor. I got one about when your video came out, but made a key error. I got the rose gold finish. An alloy of copper, that finish will tarnish like crazy. And it's not an even "patina" at all. You got the chrome one, good choice. By the way, I use a different razor for under the nose.
👍💈💈
Interesting idea leaf shave have
Shane C Thank you Shane👍💈
Nice shave with that razor. You make good videos. I enjoy them a lot. You have a good personality. Keep those videos coming.
Albert Castro Thank you so much👍💈
This is good, you can use two complete doble edge blades in half, three pieces for the big metal one and one for the plastic one, wich I think is designed to get easier the spot under the nose.
ARMMouthpieces Absolutely 👍👍💈
The leaf razor is a good idea but I just prefer a old school safety razor. Great video Ken.
STEVEN.J.L.87 Thank you👍💈
Hi Ken- Great shave and review! Thanks for the unboxing, as well as for using the horsehair brush! Have a great rest of the weekend and all the best!
Mike H Thanks Mike👍💈
Everything old is new again. That is a very interesting razor.
Thank you for sharing the video, Ken!
The Spectre Thank you👍💈
hi ken....cool products...thank you for smelling your Nutsac on camera!!!!....very funny....all the best Mark
Mark Chew lol👍👍💈
what a cool razor!!!
The Shrock'n Piper Thank you 👍💈
Good job Ken. No "leaves" left on your face. Nice razor it seems. Thank you.
Brian B. Thanks again Brian. I always appreciate your comments 👍👍👍💈
Funny you say that Ken. I accidentally flew the other day with a box of blades. They didn't even stop me!
Jeffrey Episcopo you got lucky 👍💈
Hi ken, the trouble you had under the nose, that's what the twig is for, cool looking razor The leaf is, I wonder if the wife will let me get one lol hard to believe I once had money, that is till I started this great hobby, all the best mate.
Rita Charlesworth Thank you👍💈
Ken perfect your video
Džangista Melonne Thank you👍💈
Hey Ken, it takes a little bit of practice to shave under the nose with the leaf. The leaf is a great alternative to a cartarge razor. I hate that twig always had problems getting the blade lined up properly. I have the leaf in my weekly rotation.
Blair Kaiser 👍👍💈
I’m new to the channel and to wet shaving. Love your videos. Very helpful to me and seem like a very nice and down to earth person. Thanks for what you do.
james dagostino Thank you James👍👍💈
Reminded me how I glued the head from a disposable gillette to the dorco shaving system with pivoting head.Worked fine.
This looks like a hybrid between a Mach 3 and a safety razor
Avinash Marcel 👍👍
😯 ohh!? Wow!? 😧 Great shave buddy! 💈😁🤙🏼💈
SoCal Shave Thank you👍💈
Nice new razor , aftershave looked like a lot of fun , lol
Dana Emans it was a nice burn👍💈
You should try Dove Men shave balm. It can be found at any store and is currently my go-to for a moisturizing, healing aftershave.
Alec Shafer I actually have done and you are right, it is great👍💈
Nice looking Razor I like that shaving bowl too great shave Ken
Nate 4Shaving Thank you👍💈
Yet another review that has me making an order, I originally got a supply razor based on your review, now I'm ordering a leaf razor I guess the next after this will be a twig. My wallet thanks you ken. I need help getting out of thus rabbit hole
Lol👍💈💈
I backed the Leaf razor one kickstarter. My only complaint about the Leaf is the amount of pressure I have to use to get it to work well for me. I basically have to mash it on my face, maxing the pivot out. I wrote to Leaf and gave them my feedback. They replied stating that the pressure of the pivot was one of the most discussed items while designing the razor. They landed where they did in hopes to hit the sweet spot for the masses. Although I get a good shave from it and love the concept, I rarely reach for my Leaf. I loan it out more than I use it. Great shave and enjoy Tahoe. I'm just down the hill in Sacramento. Hopefully all the smoke from the fires don't stay around while you're up there.
Burke Bair I did push hard against my face too but no cuts👍👍💈
Hi Burke, I too am in the Sacramento area. do you still have your leaf shave razor? if so what finish is it and do you still want it?
gabez8 👍
gabez8 just saw your reply. I have a rose gold finish. It has 2 very small blems, but yes I would like to sell it.
how much are you asking for your leaf razor?
Good video Ken ... Nutsac must be making the UA-cam rounds first with a prominent knife reviewer and now you and another Shave reviewer practically the same day
Rick Temmen 👍👍👍💈
Have a great trip!
Mike Wooldridge Thanks Mike👍💈
Ken, while at Lake Tahoe visit Camp Richardson in South Lake Tahoe, there is a restaurant called the Beacon that I highly recommend.I have eaten there several times. Great food, great view and they are famous for their Rum Runner.
Chris Shannon 👍👍thanks for the tip👍💈
Very nice shave!! Enjoy your vacation 💈
Kai Roberts Thank you👍💈
I want to pick one of those up to try it. I use double edge safety razors but I can't help but appreciate the engineering of that leaf razor. It also looks like it would be nice for my head if it's too sensitive for a double edge (which has happened a couple of times from some rough shaves from experimenting too much)
Great shave and razor review Kensurfs.
I've been eyeing the rose gold razor up for a while, but will hold back for the time being, lol.
Good to see you break, literally, your snapping of a DE blade virginity, haha.
Have a good weekend, from rainy NW England, yay, we needed the rain, our Summer has been far too hot for this Brit ✌🤘
Fuzz Mason I’m from NE England originally. Newcastle 👍👍💈
Kensurfs tidy, my Dad lives up in Newcastle.
Fuzz Mason awesome👍👍
NEW SMELL! *sniff* and you gotta love the leather and canvas combo 😃
Your fun 2 watch man, for any reason, keep making videos
Kingz Channel Thank you👍💈
Awesome product debut,you put out some cool videos👍
Troy Jenkins Thank you Troy👍💈
Great shave ken use a astra blade in that and put a blade on that plastic razor because that helps to get you on the moustache area
joy ghosh 👍👍💈
Hello Mr. Ken, thank you for this video. The razor seems amazing, I will try it, hoping they can ship to Italy. Take care, and thanks again.
Roberto Lipani Thanks Roberto👍💈
Great video bro.
Scott Schmitz Thank you Scott👍💈
Great video and that is one nice razor
Look at Ken smelling that nut sac. Lol j/k looks like a great shave bag.
JaxBaron lol👍💈
Seems like some good feedback from that razor.
So awesome
Nice video 😊
Dimitrije Secerov Thank you👍💈
It was a pleasure watching you use that razor. I still stand by my comment last week, it's the dumbest thing. That said in the hand of the master it was a great view. You loaded it correctly, from the bottom up. That twig is for under the nose, and uses up the 4th blade half if you loaded 3 half's. It just seems like so much work if you change your blades often. Great job as always, looking forward to the next video.
Sal DiMisa Thank you Sal👍💈
Cool razor
David chaffin Thanks David👍💈
I believe razor emporium still has the grapefruit shave cream
Michael Dietzen I hear now that it may not be discontinued after all 👍
Nice benchmade. If you like the one you have you should check out the 940. In my opinion the best edc blade ever. I have over 100 knives and I always go for my benchmade 940. Awesome video too. I have looked at the leaf before but I always thought it would be difficult under the nose.
Bj Cundiff it took a bit to get under my nose too👍💈
Bj Cundiff I have a 940 also but no lanyard hole. It is a great knife.
Yea, not having a lanyard hole is a bit of a downfall, but the way I got around it was calling benchmade and having them send me a deep carry pocket clip. Once I got it and had it on the knife I took my paracord and put it thru the pocket clip. And the good thing about it that way is it is easy to take on and off. I'll post a pic of how I did it in edged addiction assylum later on if you want to see how I did it.
I think I saw Frank Burns using a razor like this one time on MASH.
RobotShlomo 👍👍💈
I like this review. Good to see product review and my comment would be the use DE Razors "because" we don't like the abrasiveness and expect of Mach 3-4-... IME, find a couple DE blades that suit your face and run with it. That said, load up the Leaf with Feather's and you may have might be out of this world ? Looking forward to the review...versus trying it myself :)
Jaret Gracey will do👍💈
Cool razor, love the Benchmade! Every man should EDC a knife
TShull Z I agree👍👍💈
Have one on me everyday, most of the time I also carry a leatherman TTI too.. you won’t believe how often you use those tools if you have them on you.
That being said, most people in the Netherlands are scared of knives (unless its a victorinox pocket knife) so I open my flipper knife more discretely around them :)
That's a nice little bowl for lathering.
About spewed coffee out of my nose on Nutsac. Can hear it now...Honey, have you seen my Nutsac?
Jill Snoddon lol👍👍💈
Very nice shave and video Ken. I was waiting on this one. I no longer use cartridges. The last pack I bought was duds which cost me $40 dollars. My last shave was with the Merkur 42C and it was perfect. So I am back to straight razors and DE safety razors. :D
Stephen Davidson Awesome Stephen👍👍👍👍💈
Interesting razor Ken but I think I'll stick to my normal safety razors, but I do like that bowl for travel.
Tim Omick It really whipped up the lather fast
Van yulay. I have the same one,it's amazing.
Marshall USMC 👍👍💈
@kensurfs - you're supposed to use the clear edger under the nose.
Alec Goenner Lol..I’m a slow learner. 👍💈
Hmmmm, personally I rather use DE razors with single blade instead of two or three blades to prevent skin irritations. But I looked it up and they look nice razors. But good job in figuring it out without reading the instructions.
Joe Scully lol..I hate instructions👍💈
You can still use a single blade in it. Using more than one blade just gives you more options.
That's how I use mine. There's no need to use more than one blade in it, really.
interesting razor... but seems to be too much work to load it up with blades (not to mention a bit scary and dangerous), and you have to use yet another razor (the twig) for the area under the nose. can't fault the idea, but the execution leaves a bit to be desired. thanks for the review though :)
Jon Manilenio Thanks Jon👍💈
Well, Jon, you could always grow a ‘stashe, then no need for the twig.
It’s Jon I have one of those razors work awesome use the twig razor for the nose and and I use 3 blades work great
omfg i used to go to tahoe every summer for family vacation back in the 90s when i was a kid :D. my family has been going up there off and on since the 60s too! have you ever visited the tropicana lodge when it was still around lol?
gabez8 I do remember it and Caesar’s and planet Hollywood
awesome! i remember going to the wb store when it was at the harrah casino lol. what was the name of the owner of the tropicana lodge lol? i can't remember his name because i was only a kid back in the 90s when it was still around lol.
I was actually considering that razor until you pointed out how big the head is compared to the Atra cartridge
This razor is a great idea. The head is to big. Great video!
B.C. Gamingss Thank you👍💈
Ok. Little late to this one. Just ordered my first DE razor. Why would someone not be able to use the DE razor? I am looking at this one as I shave my head too and not sure I want to use the DE right away in the old head.
Jason Pendleton lots of people use de for face and cart for head shaves. But others use only de👍👍
I love my "nutsak" I have the "Man bag" love it!
💈👍🏼
Patrick Eruimy Thanks Patrick 👍💈
Perhaps a comparison with the Defender 3-Blade that works well for Chris and Ken BS.
Jeff Mudrick 👍👍💈
Can I ask what you do for work? And really your videos are great I really enjoy watching them.
Asjad Rehman I’m a Civil Engineer 👍💈
Very nice. I'm also studying mechatronics engineering.
Hi Ken, really love your videos!
You got me back into wet shaving. I tried it once and gave up on it because I was frustrated. Then, out of curiosity, I started looking on youtube again for wet shaving videos and found your channel. I have enjoyed your videos ever since! I just got a Leaf Razor for myself. Any suggestions on technique with it? I am fairly new to the DE world in general, and especially with the Leaf.
Request if you could do a Oneblade video.
Dan Dobbins I’ll take a look 👍💈
I saw a review of this razor, but I was interested in your opinion. Thank you!
Dismont DeSire 👍👍💈
Thanks for the video,Ken!I hope you're doing well.
Uncle George Thanks Uncle👍💈
i can never seem to get my lathers as thick as that which is a pain cause i shave my head with my razor
Shaun Barclay Try TOBS, really thick 👍💈
thanks ken. might pass on this one though. reminds me too much of the cartridge types. think i would use the mongoose ss with the kai inks or even the hawk instead. good vid though.
luis gonzalez The Hawk is awesome👍💈
Do you have a shaving 101 video? Like with the essential tools and recommendations? thanks
Hey, here's a simple suggestion (by no means the only route):
-Parker Variant (this allows you to adjust how aggressive the razor will cut)
-Voskhod Double Edge (DE) blades
If you want to get fancy with it then you can also get:
-Shave soap (Sir Hare is a fun little option)
-Synthetic Brush
-You can just use a cereal bowl or buy a lather bowl of you want
Hello! I just discovered your channel! You have great taste sir. I love the pictures in the background.
I have a question. I'm looking for a more sustainable alternative to cartridges. Is the leaf better than the supply razor in your opinion? :)
Jose Gabriel Eugenio both are good, but the leaf performs similar to cartridge at a much cheaper blade price
I clicked this video so fast that I dropped my phone.
VampieOrange 3 Lol 👍💈
Is that bulldog behind you a bank? A friend had one that looks similar he is as a blade bank.
David Kimberly It’s just a display. No slot cut in it. It’s from the movie Spectre👍💈
You should try it with three Feather blades and press like that... See what happens.😁😎😈
tanathos0414 I have feathers in mine at the moment. 5 shaves with same blades so far.. It seems to kind of feel the same no matter what blades I throw in it... I have used Gillette 7o'clock Super Stainless (Green Pack), Astra and now the Feather. Next is Derby in it. But I don't think that'll make a difference.... Seeing that feathers are so completely tame in this razor...
Jeofrey Pereira The Razor was very forgiving no matter how hard I pressed against my face👍💈
tanathos0414 👍👍💈
Kensurfs true. When I can make some more time, I will send Adam my opinion on what I feel!! Can't wait to see what they come up with next!!!
Great video ken. Im looking to buy a good quality razor. What are your thoughts on the merkur mk-33c 3-piece? Also, I found that crystal skull at home goods for 8 bucks yesterday. Lovin it!!!👍👍👍
Scott Colwell That’s a great find at home goods👍💈
Interesting razor, brilliant engineering. What is your final verdict on the movie?
MakeMyDay44Mag It was good. I’m looking forward to Mile 22 tonight👍💈
Hey Ken, do you think this could be good for headshaving? I love using DE razors, but I cannot use them on my head, so I need to buy cartridges as well, which is not good economically.
Carl I do think this would be great for head shaving 👍💈
If I bought this razor I'm sure my wife would steal it from me. I might just go for the rose gold from the get go for her.
Craving Shaving My wife is interested in this one too👍💈
The head is too large and bulky to shave my legs well. The trouble areas around our tendons on the outside of the legs by the knees do not get shaven close and it doesn't handle divots on the knees and ankles etc. It tends to just use the middle of the blades when shaving those areas. I wouldn't get the wife one. Does not give a close shave either.
Damn! I have to get looking into the Leaf razor now!! Your shave seems to have been rather irritation free right? I always enjoy your videos!! I look forward to the next one! Thank you Ken!
Maxime Desaulniers Boisvert It was actually perfect, no problems what so ever👍💈
Does it have a slot in the middle to keep it in place ? The blades
i wanted to buy the leaf razor but i was worried it would be hard to shave under the nose .
Richard Collier It did work out after I tried a few angles 👍💈
i orderd the new The Phoenix Starling V2 Single Edge , and the supply razor . guess my next one to try is the leaf or the Occam’s Razor
When you reviewing that Fine Accouterments razor?
James Simon It hasn’t arrived yet
Will you be using the Pacific Shaving stick on vacation?
Texaschef84 Maybe. Not sure what I’ll bring yet👍💈
Ken. I always enjoy your videos. I got into wet shaving to get away from multi blade pivoting head cartridge money pits. The leaf just revisited that. No thanks, not for me.
Patrick Wroblewski I understand 👍👍💈
Hi Ken, have you seen the Razorine razor. Seems to be exclusive to Shavenation.com at the moment?
Chris Chandler I’ll have to look👍💈
