You should rename this video "say hello to my little friend!"
Ha Ha!
That is perfect!!!!
I sometimes rename my videos to mix things up.
I will definitely consider that one!
I wish I had thought of it.
Besides, I want to stay on Tony Montana's good side :)

Right on; thanks for the vids Geo! Have a great 4th.
Or "Most counter-productive razor ever". lol
Done!
The painting looks like Santorini. I was just there 3 months ago. I'm half Greek, and I really enjoy traveling there. Love your videos, George.
Geo, looks like anything short of a Feather blade mounted on a vise grip you're not afraid to try on your face.
Something about the editing and items flying off the wall that put a big grin on my face. Awesome!
I actually had the "fall off the wall" in slow motion, but that also showed me rubbing my face in slow motion, which was kind of creepy....
I set it back to normal speed and waiting to see if anyone would notice it.
Nice catch!
Wow that is tiny, and you are a brave man, for even attempting it. I really enjoyed the video, find them very interesting.
Anything for UA-cam :) well, almost anything...
6:40. BAM ! He's gone ! Neat little razor. Great video, as always. Keep em coming please.
Whats the name of the razor I would like to get one. Thx
Nice paint of Santorini, greetings from Athens
Thanks!
Normally I like your videos, but the intro music was super loud and obnoxious. ouch.
Yep Stephen, I think you're right. I have a lot of different intros and this one is definitely pretty obnoxious. I think I only used it this one time, which is a good thing. My ASMR fans will definitely not be happy with it.
Super video Geo. Thanx for the multiple mentions, I am actually blushing over here.! LOL
Wassuppp Doc?!
Thanks for sending and letting me keep the Gillette Handy Razor!
You get credit for this video... it would not exist without you.
Nice chatting with you on the phone as always.
iKon Slant Bar on the way to you as soon as I get them in.
It's cool how the glowing embers of your stogie /cigar are visible in your YT thumbnail pic.... Yep, I notice stuff like that...
Im from the Hudson Valley! I had no idea that soap was manufactured there. Cool!
That is an interesting razor. Thanks for the fun video.
Wtg geo crazy little razor
I want one of these now
I have a small old double edge gillete razor like that one also. Except instead of two handlebars it's one small post, smaller than my pinky. I think it could give that one a run for its money for smallest razor.
Awesome present! It's in beautiful shape too. I'd love to have a small razor like that for traveling.
Check out that online auction site...
You know, the one that starts with an "E"
That's where this one came from.
That's what Doc told me, so I know it's true :)
Hey buddy. Where can I find this amazing SR shipping to world wide ( or at least to Brazil) congrats. It's awesome like all your unboxing.
Good stuff, I always enjoy a good shaving vid. Nice painting in the back by the way.
Thanks Pitbull.
I picked up that oil painting from a local artist at a Greek Church festival a couple of years ago.
It's a beauty.
This funny little thing actually did a pretty decent job.
Brilliant..
You lucky dog! I've been wanting one of those for decades but every time I've bid on one at a fair price I get outbid. They're still several found in the wild, at reasonable prices but yours looks like mint to NOS. Not the smallest razor in the world but certainly imo the best design for a small travel or bug-out kit that uses universally-sized DE blades and that's why I've been after one. Could well be the smallest that takes a standard size DE blade, definitely give you that. Still digging my 1940 4-piece open comb that looks a lot like the Merkur you'd used during a blizzard, broken down it's not taking up much room. This thing's sweet, problem is now everybody will want one and I'll keep getting outbid. Enjoy it, I know I would!
Lol!
So I guess I should hang onto it then... :)
Great video! Ive looked everywhere and cant find a place to buy something like this. Any info?
Cool Mini Razor.
Thanks Steven
Which watch do you have? It looks nice
That's cool!
What's pocket knife was that? Some kind of Byrd maybe?
Hey Geo Awesome video like all your others! What is the name of the song at the start of the video?!
Wow 😮 that’s awesome razor really small Razor
Bigelow & Parkin Folding Travel Razor
Hi,How many times can you shave well with one platinum blade?
That will help soften the whiskers ... sorry i didn't catch that can you say it again? 🤣
Nice little razor. I like the way you use different Shave Soap/Cream, to give us some More choices to try. Thanks Geo for sharing.
Thanks Scott.
Always trying to mix it up... Pun intended.
Is there a company that makes a razor similar to this design today? I've been looking online and not having much luck on anything including vintage.
Hi mate how much is the soaps you are using and the bowl
Thanks for making videos I was one those guys stuck in the multi blade world and the can crap always swearing lol you know I typed in on Google how to get a close shave and you were the first guy to pop up I went out that same day got me a fatboy some blades soap brush now I shave with a straight ty so much geo and as much as my wife don't understand my wanting to buy traditional shaving stuff she does love my shaves I'm great full you do these vids or I'd prob still be swearing cheers
You showed this razor at the end of your video about the single edge Gem, saying you've never used it, but you show it now as if you just opened it and have never seen it. Not that I'm complaining, and I love your videos, it just seemed kind of odd. I'm guessing what you meant in your Gem SE video is that you haven't had a video demonstrating your using it.
Wow...such a cool little bugger! Did you find out if this is from Gillette?
That's old school . I just saw one of these on eBay for sale . Went for $30
Hey can someone tell me what that's called
that is so cool
+ryjil xiao Thanks!
Man that's ultra small. I don't think I can even use one that small to be honest about it. You should really do an updated version of your safety razor tutorial video and pick your top 5 safety razors. Alot of people would love to know which safety razors are your favorites and which ones you'd recomend. I call you the guru of wet shaving myself.
I had a feeling it would work wonders too! Haha props to #DOC for hook in it up!! 🥼 💈👨🏼🔬
Doc is The Man!
So just a general question. What's the difference between a high priced razor like Merkur and a $7 chrome-plated generic-branded razor ? If they both potentially use the same blade, does the desgin make that much of a difference? thanks. Like your vids..
The major differences are precision and longevity between a cheap razor and a more expensive one. Cheaper ones are poorly designed where the blade might sit slightly crooked or loosly (cuts/razor burn) and in the long run breakd or tarnish. For the extra money you get what you pay for, I started wet shaving when I was 19 and im 24 now and I have a Merkur HD, it still looks brand new and functions exactly like it did 5 years ago out of the box. Its really worth the extra money man, Hope this helps with your purchase.
It's crazy how fast your facial hair grows. It takes me two weeks to achieve what you do it two days!
Cool. 👍
Thanks Vlad!
I wonder how well that thing would work at J-hooking or blade buffing?
That would be tedious!
@@geofatboy I'll bet! The whole thing looks rather cumbersome compared to the tried and true T-handle razor.
That looks like a Greek island in the painting behind you
That would be correct.
@@geofatboy It looks like Santorini, I am Greek but haven't been there yet though.. Usually I prefer the north-western mainland and the Ionian sea islands!
@@puffyHamster69 Actually took my first trip there last summer-Athens, Samos, Santorini, Naxos, Mykonos... Trip of a lifetime. "I'll be back!" Got some great images for video backgrounds which I've already used.
@@geofatboy that's great! Hope you visit us again soon :)
Where did you get the razor holder on the wall ?
At shavenation.com
Geo, what is your opinion about the Bic blades?
I think it was my first time using the Bic DE blade.
As you can see, a smooth shave was the result.
My Go-To blade is still this one:

You know it! I'll be there in a few months :)
Bigelow & Parkin razor.
Thanks for your input!
Is the Merkur "Futur" Gold plated safety razor real Gold?
Yes, with diamond flakes
Φοβερή ξυριστικη μακαρη να την εβρισκα καπου,για δωρο...
Is it possible to purchase this razor?
That is my question too.
I’d Be Up For That Too 😮😊

Nice ride in the thumbnail pic.
New Camaro?
I LOVE that car!
Yes sir! Thank you very much! I'm learning a lot from you and sure do enjoy the videos!
they have one of these at a local antique store the guy said that they used it in some wars so you could just put it in your pocket
Guess that's why they called it a Handy.

8:08 its one of the safety razor blade that fell down over his head

This link may help you figure out the story behind this razor.

Dude your Intro is WAY to loud!
Yeah, I think it might scare the crap out of people... especially at work.
I've toned it down a bit since this one.
that lather. :D
You Like? :) or You Don't Like ? :(
I was commenting on how nice it looked. :)
You can "really" feel the blade. I tried them as well and to me they feel like a dull mach 3 razor. Sorry BIC, I won't use your blades again.
8:02 what fell?
Lolzzz!
I was wondering if anybody would notice that...
You have a keen eye!
why the hell am I watching this guy shave
Lol... It's mesmerizing!
8:07
Hmmm,
Can anybody guess?
Too bad we don't know the manufaturer - it'll remain a mystery ;0
We do know the manufacturer... It is a Gillette Handy razor....
Meaning, it was manufactured by Gillette.
There are other versions out there with a "G" surrounded by a diamond logo.
These would be the actual Gillette models.
This one has the "BP" surrounded by a diamond which was made by Gillette as a promotional item.
*****
Oh I see now thanks; wow Gilette really changed....
@@geofatboy it wasn't Gillette. It was GP double edge razors manufactured in the 20s and 30s.
@@coolguy298 Thanks Neil!
this is stupid razor gimmick wast of money
just get a travel size DE razor back in the day gillette made them its coming back for travel
merkur , feather parker makes them know.. about 25$ on ebay..
+Osca Alva
You're right, this razor probably was a gimmick that someone thought of many years ago, went through the trouble to design it and have it manufactured. Someone put a lot of time and effort into the process. I wouldn't call it stupid... How many patents, trademarks, designs have you gotten/made? It may not be your cup of tea, but you gotta give credit to the team or person that made it. The great thing about shaving is that there are many different products to choose from, to suit many different tastes.
Osca Alva... Scoff much?
Terrible intro music, awful! I like watching your videos, but that intro music is so bad and obnoxious.
