    Any man that shaves with a straight razor has balls of steel. Any man that even attempts to shave his head with a straight has balls of unobtainium.

      Why, thank you! I don't do the straight on my head often because it takes so much longer, but I love the feel when I'm done. It seems to stay smoother for longer.

      Breyton Lemons Totally up to you, man. If you feel you look good bald, go for it. You're a little on the young side that I'd encourage you to do it - unless you're already losing your hair.

    You look good bald. Good shape head. Some guys look good bald and some don't. Depends on the form of your head. You should leave the beard. Usually bald guys look good with facial hair. Just trim it.

    Great shave on your head. It is getting easier for me to do shaves on my head with a straight. It just takes practice and time. I like using a Shavette too. Definitely a real blade there. Lol. Have a great day and keep on shaving! Roger - The Shave Lion

    Have you tried "shave butter" from dollar shave club? I've been using it for 10 years or so, and generally prefer it to any cream i have tried

    I'm newbie and don't know what they mean why people way say "hard water or soft water " and how that effects your cream

    • @TheCleanShaver
      @TheCleanShaver  9 років тому +3

      +Fernando Arjona People usually refer to water with a lot of natural mineral content as "hard water." When the content is high, it makes it a bit more difficult to develop a good lather because of the way the minerals interact with the ingredients of the soap. The best lather is usually acquired with distilled water, which is virtually free of any minerals. Water softeners help to add salt (and other minerals) that help to counterbalance the "hard" minerals.

  • @219Mic

    Try shaving with more small strokes instead of 1 or 2 on each pass, just a thought. Good video though man.

    What would say are the benefits of shaving your head with a straight razor?

    • @TheCleanShaver
      @TheCleanShaver  6 років тому +2

      Some people think the shave you get with a straight will last longer, but I don't think there's that big of a difference.

    • @TylerMiami
      @TylerMiami 6 років тому

      Well that would imply that you're getting a closer shave with a straight razor, which I find unlikely considering the cartridges have 3, 4, or 5 blades vs. the 1 of the straight razor.

    • @TheCleanShaver
      @TheCleanShaver  6 років тому

      Compared to cartridges, you're going to have a hard time getting a longer-lasting shave with a straight razor. However, most who shave with a straight feel they get a much higher-quality shave, meaning they have a more enjoyable experience and don't have as many issues with razor burn or ingrown hairs compared to cartridges.

    • @glassmw9823
      @glassmw9823 4 роки тому

      You absolutely get a closer shave with a straight razor or safety razor than with a cartridge razor, regardless of the amount of blades the cartridge razor has. Try either of them and you’ll immediately see and feel a difference. Not only is the shave superior with a straight/safety compared to a cartridge, either are actually much cheaper in the long run that the cartridge razors.

    • @TheCleanShaver
      @TheCleanShaver  7 років тому +1

      For simplicity of use, I'd recommend a DE for most head shavers. While a straight razor is certainly fun, it's just not very practical for daily shaving. Takes way too long, IMHO.

  • @ridelikethawind8130
    @ridelikethawind8130 8 років тому

    Thanks for the video. I'm thinking about buying a straight razor set just for my head. Is it a closer shave than a 3 blade razor?

    • @TheCleanShaver
      @TheCleanShaver  8 років тому +3

      Hard to say for certain. Too many variables, but when it's done right you'll have fewer razor bumps and other similar issues.

  • @TyeNielsenVO
    @TyeNielsenVO 6 років тому +1

    You think this could help prevent folliculitis on the head?

    • @TheCleanShaver
      @TheCleanShaver  6 років тому

      Possibly. Using a single blade is almost always going to give you a better shave to prevent ingrown hairs and folliculitis.

    • @TyeNielsenVO
      @TyeNielsenVO 6 років тому

      Cool. Out of the blue I started dealing with it about 2 years ago. Tried everything! So frustrating. Like clockwork, three days after shaving little "under the skin" type pimples start forming.

  • @johnjordan6032
    @johnjordan6032 Рік тому

    A standard safety razor never mind one of those fancy 5 blade one ect., will do a superior job to the straight edge in every way imaginable. The straight edge is just a gimmick and its only real practical use is for line ups. Remember that in the olden days they had no choice since a safety razor hadn't been invented yet.
