Tried wet shaving a month ago, best decision I’ve ever made! No more irritation, ingrown hair, and razor bumps. Thank you ken for introducing me into the wonderful world of wetshaving
@@nelsonduarte2355 yup, learned this the hard way. I've fallen for the internet hype about getting rid of ingrowns completely after switching to safety razor
@@nelsonduarte2355 true, I still get ingrowns too even when using a DE. For me any close shave, cartridge, DE or electric, irritates my skin. That's why I just use my OneBlade. Not a close shave, more like a very close trim, but it's the only way to get something similar to a shave without the irritation issues :P
I find CF Sandalwood smells more like early autum when leafs and branches are already on the forest floor and decompose for like 2 or 3 weeks. The essential oils they use are simply amazing. I think that Castle Forbes is the best shave cream you can buy/use. My favourite is their 1445, a green grassy fougere type scent. Absolutely spectacular. Great video and shave Ken, as always. During lockdown/quarantine watching you is a real treat.
I must admit that "shaving" can be a chore. Have been using disposable blades over the years and more recently (past 5 years or so) began using an electric razor. I woke up one day and at 74 decided to begin wet shaving again. My first wet shaves began when I was in the military in the med 1960's. Intrigued by the myriad choices available in razors, blades, creams, soaps etc., I thought I should take a tour of the internet for some advice. Of the numerous channels out there, I found yours to be the most helpful and friendly. I have decided to begin my foray into wet shaving with the following accoutrements; Merkur 34C Heavy Duty; Omega Hi-Brush Synthetic Shaving Brush; West Coast Beacon Black Synthetic Shaving Brush; Proraso Shaving Cream Menthol; Ogallala Bay Rum Shaving Soap; Sampler Blade Pack and several other related treats. I can see already how a daily "chore" can quickly become a "hobby and passion". If ever I lose the passion for wet shaving, I will return to your site. What do you think about my choices for a "new" beginner to the wet shaving world? P.S. - Where did you go to college to earn your engineering degree? I have tried numerous times to see if I could identify your alma mater from what appears to be your graduation ring, but to no avail.
The feedback sound on the Futur is awesome. I love mine. It was one of my first razors. As for the cap, it doesn’t matter what way you put it on, you may have just not pressed evenly when placing the cap that first time. Happens to me too sometimes. I really don’t know how people like PaulH shave with that razor on setting 6. Great shave Ken!
Awesome videos Ken! I finally made the switch. Purchased the Vikings Blade Emperor. Setting 2 works marvelous for me with 2 passes. Proraso Sensitive Soap and pre-shave. Super pleased.
I got the brushed Futur about a month ago and absolutely love it. BBS all the time with little effort. Was thinking it might have been a mistake but I could not have been more wrong. Fantastic razor.
I do find it a little annoying when the adhesive is on the razors edge, so I tend to run hot water over them at an angle until it comes off. But silver blues felt harsh to me at first, but was most likely my technique in the beginning. These days i don’t mind them, depends on the razor. I’ve had my eye on those two soaps!!! Can’t wait for the videos!! Perhaps a comparison to diver down later on down the line?
Hi Ken- Great shave and razor/soap reviews; thank you! I’m glad you made peace with the Futur; I was surprised you didn’t use the Gillette Wilkinson Sword Saloon Pack razor, though. Next time. Glad to hear you got a vaccine. Enjoy the rest of the week. Be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Ken!
Another great shave Ken, thank you. I have the Merkur Futur in Chrome and Gold, and it really is a cracking razor once mastered. I have suffered the same problem as you with the head in the past. The head can go on either way around, there is no alignment marking - but just ensure that it 'clicks' into place before you proceed. All the best.
I have the gold Futur in my line up. I can’t honestly say it’s one of my favorites. I really enjoy the old tried and trues- DE89, 34G and recently, the King C Gillette! I would put the Futur in a category with my Muhle R41. I just DON’T need such aggressive razors for a really good, close, comfortable shave but understand others might... cheers Bud!
Great shave. I have the polished chrome version for a few years now, still cuts me at lower settings lol. At the higher settings I found this razor to be absolutely one of the most aggressive razors out there
If you like lime soaps, I think it's Castle Forbes' best. I do like the Silver Blue blades, I've heard the Futur is aggressive, so it may be that way round. :)
Nice shave Ken. Really enjoyed my recent razor purchase the Merkur Progress 500. Hopefully will be my last. I really would like a Timeless and recently heard Muhle is making a R41 in stainless steel. Oh and PAAs double open combs really got my interest. The rabbit hole never ends mind you I get excellent shaves from the razors I already have even my Weishi.
Nice shave Ken💈💈 The Futur is too blade forward for me, but each his own right. I could never get a comfortable shave with it so passed it on. The blades however work good in the right razor, usually used in a milder razor on my end. Castle Forbes is a great product IMO, expensive but results are nice. Hope you get the results you want from the shot, I'll pass. Have a great day and shave on. Enjoy!
I’ve just received the gold futur today , tried it on setting two with gillete nacet blades no razor burn not cuts no irritations give me a bbs with just one pass flying like butter on my skin very surprised kensurfs, just don’t mind negative reviews about aggressiveness of this babe people, just buy it and see the function and 😳😳 surprised, wowwwww unbelievable
Hey Ken! Have you heard of Timor blades? They are a bit on the pricy side for blades, but I've heard nothing but good things about them. You should pick up a pack and give them a shot! Cheers for the videos!
Thanks for your shave today. I did have the futur copy, but gave it away as it was just too aggressive for me. I suspect I would have to use the futur on setting 1 or 2 all the time! I had my first covid vaccination on Saturday and will recieve a second in 3 months. I had flu-like symptoms on Sunday but was fully recovered by Monday. Keep safe, and catch you on the next one.
Glue spots are very annoying. Also, for us older fellas going color blind, we have a difficult time removing the wrap from the Gillette WS blades as the writing camouflages the folds of the wrapper. Very frustrating, wish the blades companies would consider that.
I have the brushed/matte version for almost 20 years now and am thinking about buying the chrome version. Do you think that the chromed finish glides better on the skin than the brushed/matte version?
I had the full finish first because the polished and hold were cold out. This one looks pretty cool. I had trouble a few years ago shaving under the nose but this time it was ok👍👍
Hi Ken, question regarding gold-plated razors and cleaning...how do you clean a Merkur 34G/Futur/vintage gold-plated Gillette after a shave without taking off the gold plating...nice shave...
What i started noticing when i get nicks, its the blades with the wax on the blades to hold it in the paper. The wax on the blade makes the blade (wavy) when installed in the razor. (Not a flat surface.)
nice shave and video, kinda funny it so great watching someone talking and shaving lol the longer you follow someone feels like you know them in person. Stay Safe buddy. Cheers...Peter
I had a Merkur Vision as my first razor and put a Feather blade in it. Not a sensible thing to do on account of the blood! Moved back to cartridges until I discovered your channel and tried again with a Muhle R89. I had my vaccine 2 weeks ago, next day had aching legs and tiredness for 10 hours then fine. Thanks for all your advice and reviews.
Nice shave, Ken! I have the satin finish Futur which I love but man, that gold Futur looks awesome! The Future my go-to razer for knocking down lockdown beard growth. 👊
Hey Ken, today I found a brand new stand with King C Gillette products lineup in my local drugstore! It was beautiful to see quality wet shaving products on a shelf of a regular store. But also they removed Mühle products so it comes with a price as everything I guess :) have a good day
Great shave. My mom told me that the vaccine she received was the Pfizer one, and she’s not showing or complaining of the side effects from it. I finally got my first vintage razor as I bought the Gillette Travel Tech at an antique store. I cleaned and sanitized it for shave use, and I can’t wait to pull it out for a shave in the future
That gold Futur looks amazing. Yip, make it a keeper. Talking about new stuff, I was able to get some new blades myself. Got some Arista Geens and Personna Reds with a few others, really looking forward to trying them out over my next few shaves.
Enjoyed the shave this week Ken. I've been thinking of trying them soaps and creams from that company. You seemed to like it. Good job getting your shot btw. I got my 1st one last week. You and the Mrs have a great week 👍
Got my first dose of the Moderna vaccine yesterday. I was surprised when I was told that I could get vaccinated but from what I read California is now in the third phase of vaccine distribution and us government employees are some of the people who are supposed to receive it in that round.
HI Ken, always love your vids.My last purchase was the 34 g"old". I have the gold merkur and love it. We always want something better or a new toy. for the readers i have sensitive skin. the 34 G is tame compared to my Mercur gold. i love the sound of the feedback on whisker. it reminds me to slow down "grasshopper". Light touch, patience it is just an absolute fine shave! Just my 2 cents. P.s. been bearded since March.....skin will probably revolt when I pull out my merkur!!! LOL
My aunt got the Moderna shot 4 days later had a stroke then a heart attack my dad got the same shot same day same place he had a stroke the 3rd day made my mind up they aren’t putting that stuff in me
I've had both shots, and the worst I got was a sore arm. I'm not sure what caused your parents issues, or if you're being truthful, but there's no widespread problem with the vaccines that should cause anyone to hesitate.
Hi Ken! Castle Forbes is produced by my Clan Chieftain, Lord Forbes. I buy my products directly from him at the castle in Keig...lovely place for sure. I find this soap works best with a large synthetic brush. My favorite scents are the Lime and 1445; just stunning. Post shave on this soap/cream is superior. I watch your videos, but being lazy as to commenting. Must be age related, huh? Have you seen the new Ford Mustang Mach 1? I think better than the GT350...maybe even better than the GT350R. Good you got the vaccine. Made me feel hungry and tired for about 3 days. Take care.
I notice I get tagged a few times on my Gillette Slim, though it's not even on the gap(one side is a little more gap than the other). I probably need to have it tuned up so it can shave properly. It works as is, just not too comfortably.
Love your videos, Ken...Great shaves! Just started wet shaving -- thanks to you with the Merkur 34G. Sensitive skin here, and I switched from Schick Hydro 5 because I just couldn't take the insane cost of those cartridges. Congrats on the vaccine...just got my second Pfizer last Sunday. Just a little lethargic after 24 hours then right as rain.
Finally got a chance to try the Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade from India. Good call, it is a wonderful blade, one of my favorites. Which COVID shot did you get?
My Merkur Futur lasted only 2 years of use before the plating on the head started to rub off. (Underneath is zamac, so it's pretty much doomed.) I bought a stainless steel DE to replace it.
I have the same razor, I love the gold color.. But.. I did several shaves with different blades and everytime I have cut my self.. I start to begin finding it a monster instead of a great razor..
Nice video again Ken. I also enjoy the gold merkur futur razor. You did well to get only 2 Nicks. Glad you got your covid jab. Looking forward to your next video. Stay safe.
That razor is beautiful I may have to get it :) Nice shave Ken I just cannot use those blades, every other Gillette blade no problem. Have a great week :)
Ken I have been wondering for a good while now, how can I get involved and enter into the giveaways? If u could let me know thanks would be much appreciated
I know this is a newbi question. I was looking at the instructions for my Simpsons shaving brush and it says go side to side and not in a circle. Is that why you didn't use a bowl?
The instructions are there to help protect the brush (in particular when new). It's ok to splay the bristles a little whilst bowl lathering or face lathering as long as you don't mash the bristles right down to the handle which can break the "backbone" of the brush and lead to reduced life of the brush. Good luck with your new hobby!
@@robertluttrell1111 Pleasure to help. The videos and the wetshaving community in general are great and generally very helpful. One of the best communities on social media IMO. 👍👍👍💈
They dont xall that razor the "potato peeler" for nothing! I have the brushed finish model. Was my second razor but it scares the bejesus out of me. I usually keep it set to 1 or 0. Not a fave of mine. And yes, it is Rich Hansen's favorite.
Nice video. Muhle just released a new R41 model, this time it's SS. Now this one your son can bang against the sink, razor won't brake but the sink might...... Looks nice, polished..... a bit $$$
My guess is that vaccisnation stations are covered by the same patient privacy laws as a doctor's office/waiting room or a clinic/hospital, where you probably need a signed permission from everyone in the picture. Ehich would slow things down. So I get the camera ban.
Tried wet shaving a month ago, best decision I’ve ever made! No more irritation, ingrown hair, and razor bumps. Thank you ken for introducing me into the wonderful world of wetshaving
Happy for you man, I Still can't make it without ingrown hair after 3 months
Welcome👍👍💈💈💈💈
@@jakubskyba7508 it is wrong to think we won't have ingrown hairs anymore with wet shaving when we had with cartridge.....

From Grand Rapids Michigan . Love your videos Ken. Please don't stop! You've got a lot of charisma and I appreciate all you do.

That's the next soap I'm getting for sure. I've heard a lot for their soaps so it's decided. Thanks for the video. Great shave, Ken.
I’d like to suggest a video idea: Caswell & Massey Jockey club aftershave and cologne, the favorite scent of JFK
Good day!

Great shave Ken. Love my Chubby Super Badger with my '64 slim and some nice Floris.

👍👍👍👍
2 coffees and 2 diet cokes. That's the most engineer thing I've ever heard you say!

That's what I use, a gold Merkur Futur with Merkur Super blades. The razor still looks like new, clean it after I use it. Does a great job!

Don't worry about the top cap positioning, it can go both ways. You just didn't snap it all the way in. Try it and you'll see.
Ooohh Castle Forbes Scotland Ken is Scottish love the Soap 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💈🪒
Very nice I’ll like to have castle Forbes to try

Second shot is the one that will affect you the most. Also, what are your thoughts on Nacet blades? Or have you used them?
The nacets are in my top 5 along with the silver blues, Personna reds , PetmaShatps and Treet Platinum
👍👍
That's Mister Scaramanga's razor. The man with the golden gun.
Got my first dose of the Moderna vaccine yesterday. I was surprised when I was told that I could get vaccinated but from what I read California is now in the third phase of vaccine distribution and us government employees are some of the people who are supposed to receive it in that round.
Great to here that you get your vaccine 👍we most wait another 2 a3 months😔gr from the netherlands

My aunt got the Moderna shot 4 days later had a stroke then a heart attack my dad got the same shot same day same place he had a stroke the 3rd day made my mind up they aren’t putting that stuff in me
So sorry to hear that.
I thought it was just a bad coincidence till both their primary care doctors said it was a reaction caused by the shot
I've had both shots, and the worst I got was a sore arm. I'm not sure what caused your parents issues, or if you're being truthful, but there's no widespread problem with the vaccines that should cause anyone to hesitate.
All the doctors would say is allergic reaction they were fine till they got the vaccine
So sorry that happened 🥺. (VLS )
Great save. I have the silver version. If I had to grab one razor to take on a desert island, it would be the Merkur Futur. 4/4/3 BBS
I got my vax appointment tomorrow afternoon at a church in my hometown. Glad to see you got your shot!

Sensitive skin here, and I switched from Schick Hydro 5 because I just couldn't take the insane cost of those cartridges. Congrats on the vaccine...just got my second Pfizer last Sunday.

Finally got a chance to try the Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade from India. Good call, it is a wonderful blade, one of my favorites. Which COVID shot did you get?
I tried some of that Cremo shave cream and it gave me some kind of skin rash!
😲
Leaning towards mandatory vax and wanting no cameras! Why? Ken, I love your shaves!
My Merkur Futur lasted only 2 years of use before the plating on the head started to rub off. (Underneath is zamac, so it's pretty much doomed.) I bought a stainless steel DE to replace it.
Great you got your first shot of vaccination, I'll get mine on Friday at my Dialisis center. Stay safe and healthy 🪒 💈 🧼
Great shave, Ken ✋🙂👍💈
Hey Ken, would love to see more pinball videos 👍

Nice video again Ken. I also enjoy the gold merkur futur razor. You did well to get only 2 Nicks. Glad you got your covid jab. Looking forward to your next video. Stay safe.
I love the Merkur Futur, I have all 3
That razor is beautiful I may have to get it :) Nice shave Ken I just cannot use those blades, every other Gillette blade no problem. Have a great week :)
You can call it a "soft soap", but it is literally a cream. Says so on the lid and all :)
Tomatoes, tomahtoes
Love my Silver Blues but they glue them in and it’s REALLY annoying. Makes me dread new blade days
hand my shot the weekend. not to bad felt a bit rough sunday but that passed pretty quick .
Hiya Ken!!! Good choices in gear!!!!
Thank you
I’m a big resident evil fan and I had no idea they made that lol 😆. Really cool!!! 🧟♂️🧟♀️
You've convinced me. Payment comes in and I am buying Futur. However I'll probably get a satin one.
Ken I have been wondering for a good while now, how can I get involved and enter into the giveaways? If u could let me know thanks would be much appreciated
When the giveaway video is uploaded and viewable, all you have to do is leave a comment “I’m in”. The video should be going up in a week or so
@@kensurfs ok ken cheers mate is it a shaving video or just purely a giveaway video thanks
I know this is a newbi question. I was looking at the instructions for my Simpsons shaving brush and it says go side to side and not in a circle. Is that why you didn't use a bowl?
The instructions are there to help protect the brush (in particular when new). It's ok to splay the bristles a little whilst bowl lathering or face lathering as long as you don't mash the bristles right down to the handle which can break the "backbone" of the brush and lead to reduced life of the brush.
Good luck with your new hobby!

They dont xall that razor the "potato peeler" for nothing! I have the brushed finish model. Was my second razor but it scares the bejesus out of me. I usually keep it set to 1 or 0. Not a fave of mine. And yes, it is Rich Hansen's favorite.
Ótimo conteúdo✌

Nice shave Ken. I missed the burn today though:)
Nice video. Muhle just released a new R41 model, this time it's SS. Now this one your son can bang against the sink, razor won't brake but the sink might...... Looks nice, polished..... a bit $$$
Lol
I can’t find double edge razor blades any where
Where are you situated?

My guess is that vaccisnation stations are covered by the same patient privacy laws as a doctor's office/waiting room or a clinic/hospital, where you probably need a signed permission from everyone in the picture. Ehich would slow things down.
So I get the camera ban.
Love ur videos, can u use black ship grooming again soon? Thank u
glad you got vaccinated!
