    It has been super neat to watch this place transform over the course of your shaves I never saw this one but I've seen more recent months

    Fantastic location, and a beauty spring day!! Really enjoyed the video and chat!!
    Price being the only metric considered is what initiated the disposable economy. I am all for a good deal, but it isn’t the only consideration. Amongst various examples, I buy Canadian-grown garlic at minimum 5 times the price I could buy Chinese-grown garlic. That extra cash goes to support my local farmers and their local supply chain, who are my neighbours - that, to me, is the deal.

      I agree with buying local, we do similarly with different items. And it is a deal, there is an added value for sure. We even try to mostly eat at local restaurants, when it comes to sit-down dinners. Had an amazing dinner last night at a local place. And thanks Aaron, it was a great shave on an incredibly beautiful day!

    Great video Tobin, beautiful location! You are easily the most generous person I've met on the internet. I love the 8 razors I've bought from you, but the one you gave me will always have a place in my rotation. Also, I don't think anyone, had as many giveaways as you did in 2021 not that I saw. Don't let people get you down. And keep these videos coming!!

      Thanks, Tad! I appreciate you brother. There's a few companies out there that did a ton of giveaways, start time for me to kick off another one I'm trying to think of a clever way to do one. Kind of like the ones that I did that had people picking what they wanted the 12345 giveaway. Have a good one brother I appreciate you

    Another great shave Tobin. I totally agree that the PAA brushes are awesome and for the price, amazing and punch waaaaay above their weight. I need to get another Peregrino brush, as i dropped my first one in the shower and the handle died a horrible death. I just ordered a Shave Mac custom brush, 1st one for me. Cool online customizer for the brush. Looking forward to trying it out when it arrives.
    And keep your format. Don’t worry about the content, real is great and refreshing. I can really see a progress from your first vid to this one. You’re much more relaxed and easy going. I’m in for more, keep ‘em coming!

      I'd love to add a Shave Mac to the den, they make some amazing handles. Which knot did you go with?
      And thanks, brother!! Heading out for another this afternoon, still deciding on the location. I appreciate your support Sean, it means a lot. I'm finally letting my guard down in front of the camera and it feels great! Have a good one!

    I've never sold on ebay so wouldn't know what cut they take. You explaining the way you did makes it understandable that certain offers can't be accepted. The deal you sorted me was great and I was happy with that. If people can't accept your bottom line it's their loss. Oh and great location 👍

    • @Tobins_throwbacks
      @Tobins_throwbacks  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks, Darren! Most people are cool, and yeah. It's why I'm happy to do it for so much cheaper off of eBay. The money that eBay would take I just pass on to the buyer, then they save money and I get paid a lot faster. Another thing with eBay now is it takes about a week to get paid for any sale. Making Instagram even more attractive for me. It's a win-win, eBay used to pay us immediately, but back on 01/01/21 they changed things. Have a good one!

    Great shave man, thank you for the mention and kind words. 🙂 You're not a Rick! I personally think it's a great lesson and something that most people honestly don't think about, the behind the scene aspect of it. You see the Before photo, then the After but somehow the How never comes up. You have some patience man Great video, and I'm still interested in that razor!

      Thanks John, and don't mention it! It felt good to vent, and I'm glad it gave a look "behind the scenes ". I wish I could agree about patience lol. And no rush!

    Howdy, Toby! I’ve sold a fair amount of shaving gear and other miscellaneous items since 2007 to understand the healthy eBay slice of the pie. 🤑🤑
    I agree that IG messaging is the way to go.
    🚨 Hey peeps- your going to get the real deal from Toby, I can vouch for that. 🚨
    Beautiful location and shave set up my friend. 👍🏼🤠👍🏼
    Have a blessed weekend with the famdamily.

      It's ridiculous every now and then I use the promotion option but then almost always regret it. And thank you sir! I appreciate the support. I don't why, but an old movie just popped in my head, one of the best ever. Support your local Sherrif with James Garner. I watched it a month or two ago I think this means I need to watch it again this weekend lol have a good one Bradley!

    The old saying is try - price is what you pay; value is what you get. And as you say, people 'value' things differently and so are more or less willing on the price side. Cheers.

    And regarding your explanation on cost and your effort. Stick with it. I’m a consultant who bills hourly. And your time is money. Especially when you’re bringing your expertise to the work. So yes, there is the perspective of worth, but there is the minimum value to you for your effort and time you shouldn’t go below, plus profit (which is the whole point). I take that same thought process and apply it to my personal life too. For example, if a service costs me less per hour then my billable rate and I value the service (which for me is really personal time saved since I work a lot and it’s stressful) then it’s completely worth it. Bottom line, don’t sell yourself short or feel bad about it!!

    My favorite brushes are the PAA ones too; I have four. I like the 'Green Ray' one but I am not sure it has the same hybrid synth knot material. Do you know if it does or is it something else? Thanks for the video; great stuff seeing the outdoors!

    • @Tobins_throwbacks
      @Tobins_throwbacks  2 роки тому

      Hey Steve! No, the green-ray has what PAA calls a Tribble synthetic knot. It's a different fiber than the ones found in the Starcraft and Peregrino. I love that Tribble knot, and the handle because it's the color of our Alma mater the University of Oregon. Thanks for watching Steve! I'm loving these outdoor shaves! Oh, and Go Ducks!!
