  • I have been asked by DSCosmetics to try out and give my opinions on two of their new SE Razors. I figured I’d shoot a video on the two because I have been getting a lot of SE razor questions lately.
    Using Wet The Face L-Perfect Cup Soap and Aftershave in this video. My friend Stephen sent them to me to try. Thanks Stephen.

    As a DE shaver convert turned into a DE hobby guy, I have never met a DE or single edge razor I did not like! There is always the favorites used for shaving, the favorites ya just want to own as historical display items and that new thing ya just want. And, to think it all started out as a move to save money but getting rid of expensive cartridges'. Well, as most of us here know, we made great strides with much, much better shaves and turned a mundane task into a nostalgic moment of pleasure and relaxation. I look forward to each shave! Now Ken, we can combine that with "COFFEE", my other favorite pleasure. Am looking forward to coffee shaving soap. Thanks, Ken for yet another fine video.

      Same here. I've been collecting vintage Gillettes for awhile now, and its fun to be able to bring any one of them out of retirement and into action. I also find that restoring them is fun & satisfying.

      What I find most interesting about the vintage Gillette DE razors is that they each deliver their own version of a shave. All are excellent, just slightly different. For example, the pre-war Tech is just a shade of gray more aggressive than the post-war Tech. The 40's Super Speed is just a tad less aggressive than the later Flair Tips (at least to my skin). The open combs (uber efficient and slightly more aggressive than the safety bars), just flat out get down to business and are not for the beginner imho, but the Gillette open combs will still deliver in carefull & experienced hands. For those still reading, the Red Tip is the equivalent to a Gillette adjustable on setting 3. Smooth with a touch of aggressiveness. The Gillette adjustables are in a league of their own, still today the world adjustable by which others are compared to.

What is nice is how many in our shaving community have accumulated a great deal of knowledge and experience and are willing to share that with others. Thanks to Ken we have a place to share right here. I guess we need a shaving blog where we can compile our comments and thoughts. Is there a "Shaving Forum" somewhere?

    A very informative comparative review, Ken. While I'm not a fan of SE safety razors, I do have the Leaf Twig. I purchased that one because it uses half of a DE blade. I had to chuckle when you showed us a "couple" of your aftershave splashes/colognes. BTW, my Kensurfs brush has been shipped. Of course, it will take 2-3 weeks to get here.

    Hi Ken!
    I searched and waited so long for a video of the dscosmestic Legend - maybe it s hard to find if others like you don' t use the name of the razor in the video but anyways thanks a lot.
    But you mixed the names up - Artist Club Blade SE razor is the Legend - half DE razor is the Mars.
    Have a good start into the new week.

They still have a decent discount on their razors right now, if I'm not mistaken. A single edge Schick Proline blade works great for me in that bad boy!

    I've been using Gem and Schick razors for a long time and gave in buying a hawk V2 razor which looks similar to what you have, with the Feather Professional blades. It's not the first time I gave in buying Modern SE razors. I tried many shaves with it and was disappointed. Then did a side by side comparison with the Gem/Schick vs the SE Hawk. The Hawk failed miserably.Truthfully, the Modern razors may " Look better" but I'll stick to the ones that stood the test of time. Honorable mention: A Valet Stropping razor, Imo is a Masterpiece of Engineering. Accepts Feather Fhs-10 blades, gives fantastic shaves. Thanks for another great video!
