    I have very sensitive skin also, so I need slick soap. Can you do top 10 slickest soaps ?

    The factory in Israel is operated by Edgewell Personal Care, a division of Energizer which owns the Personna trademark along with Schick and Wilkinson Sword . The Virginia factory was Personna Industrial Products Division which was sold in 2015 to private investors and is now AccuTec Blades. They produce all the Industrial, Medical and Barber/Beauty blades there also using the Personna brand name. The American Safety Razor Co. doesn't exist anymore since Energizer bought it out of bankruptcy in 2011 and spun off all the personal care products into Edgewell Personal Care in 2015.

    What would you say is the slickest soap and cream that you have used?

    Hi Nick. Really enjoy the videos. Would you recommend using shave oil as a base prior to using shave cream? Thanks

  • @hepgeoff
    @hepgeoff 7 років тому

    I wanted to order the Wolfpac soap, but noticed it's $20 AU plus $16.50 for shipping. Pretty pricey. Is it worth it?

    @Brandon191 7 років тому

    Hi Nick! Have you tried out the Gillette Nacet blade? Since you like sharp, smooth blades I think you would really enjoy them. They are really cheap on Italian Barber.

  • @jordanstults5646
    @jordanstults5646 7 років тому

    Nick - Could you do a video with the Zenith boar brush and either a B&M or Fine Soap with the 6C? I too have hard water and have experienced some great shaves using this combination.

  • @magnoliamike

    Good shave video nick I am just getting into shaving and I use barbrasol and a cartridge razor but I am really interested into getting into wet shaving soon.

  • @jimthomas7594
    @jimthomas7594 7 років тому

    I use shaving cream and a brush opposed to a shaving soap. What are the differences? Im interested in trying a soap but not sure if they are really the same

  • @ajyoussef2927
    @ajyoussef2927 7 років тому

    @leiffolvik5359 7 років тому +1

    Never thought I'd be sitting for 5 minutes watching another man shaving his face. 😆 Now I think I've seen every video you've made, because I'm learning so much! I use the same principals for my headshaving, because of you I don't think I had one razorburn or ingrown hair since I started couole of years ago 😊 Well probably, but it's been to a minimum! Thanks Nick, keep'em coming!!

  • @joyghosh7239

    Glad to see you again. Hope this means you are settling in well after the move. Speaking of Personna Red from Israel, (in reference to 'I'd Lather Be Shaving' ep. 29) how do you think these compare to the Israeli made 'Drugstore' blades?

  • @teucer4
    @teucer4 7 років тому

    You live in Boston MA still? Head down to Raynham Massachusetts to the Raynham Flea Market. I run a business there, Fifty Shaves, and I carry pretty close to a complete line of Italian Barber / Razor Rock products. We also carry Parker products as well as a variety of razor brands.

    • @nickshaves

      +Kerry Kerr it's a great brush! Cheap and performs great

      This may be correct...

  • @goldensteeltv8546

  • @pearsonlewallen483
    @pearsonlewallen483 7 років тому

    Relatively new to the channel but love the videos and reviews. If you haven't already, you should do a video showcasing some the Fine shave soaps, super slick with incredible scents across the board.

    • @nickshaves
      @nickshaves  7 років тому

      I haven't yet! I have 2 of their soaps and love them, just haven't made a video

  • @darrencunningham8346
    @darrencunningham8346 7 років тому

    Great video. I live in the northeast and several grocery stores and pharmacies sell generic blades that are made by Personna. Shop Rite sells some under their name that are made in Israel. But, the blades look different than the Personna Reds you used in this video and they come in a slide dispenser. Do you know if they are in fact the same blades? Thanks.

  • @terrym1065

  • @hepgeoff
    @hepgeoff 7 років тому

    Between the Merkur 34c and the Rockwell 6c, which do you like the best?

    • @nickshaves
      @nickshaves  7 років тому

      Thats a tough call. When it comes down to it, at this point, the 34c. But I will be using the Rockwell more, and that could maybe change

  • @brianb.2894
    @brianb.2894 7 років тому +1

    Hi Nick. Real nice shave. Was wondering, would you say the Personna reds were sharper or about the same as the lab blues. The lab blues are my go to blades. Thank you.

    • @nickshaves
      @nickshaves  7 років тому +1

      I think that the reds are sharper! I love the blues, they have always been my favorite, but I plan to shave more with the reds - these really could become my new top blade

  • @gnomeoshaves4641
    @gnomeoshaves4641 7 років тому

    I forgot to ask.... what software do you use on videos? I started making my own, but they are a bit long and looking for ways to trim them a bit and looking for suggestions. Thanks again!

    • @nickshaves

  • @mkostrub
    @mkostrub 7 років тому

    Keep it up! Happy to report I still use a DE razor, the trusty Merkur 34C. I experimented with blades for a bit at the start, but I think I've settled into the Astra Superior Platinum blades. I would like to change up the soap/cream though. Currently using Proraso, but any recommendations?

    • @nickshaves
      @nickshaves  7 років тому +2

      Oh man! So many great soaps out there, Barrister and Mann, Catie's Bubbles, Phoenix, Stirling, RazoRock, Reef Point Soaps - any of these (and more!) are amazing soaps. Honestly, I would choose between them based on what scent you like

    • @ChrisGarciaorlzzt
      @ChrisGarciaorlzzt 7 років тому

      Just my humble opinion; but you can't recommend shaving soaps without mentioning Soap Commander. Absolutely fantastic, and great people too! Nick, how about Cold River Soap Works? I am looking to try one of theirs...

    • @hepgeoff
      @hepgeoff 7 років тому

      mkostrub Check out Soap Commander soaps, too. One of my favorites.

  • @gnomeoshaves4641
    @gnomeoshaves4641 7 років тому +1

    Hey Nick! Great to see another video, really look forward to all of your videos. I've learned a lot from them. It was cool to see you bust out that old omega, hehe. It has been a while. I have the 6S and it has become my absolute favorite razor. Hope work is going well for you.

    • @nickshaves
      @nickshaves  7 років тому

      Thanks man! I am glad the videos have been helpful. I love this brush, I may be using it more...

    • @damonmccoury897
      @damonmccoury897 7 років тому

      I recently put a reply on one of your older videos, best beginner brush. I noted how awesome the omega 10066 is; I have some of the higher end brushes you have such as the Semogue 830 and the Semogue Owners Club Badger brush, but still keep going to my Omega 10066 more often than not. Great videos, very helpful and whenever I'm curious about a new shave product I look to see if you have reviewed it as I have come to value your opinion on wet shaving gear.

  • @markmongo44
    @markmongo44 7 років тому

    I really like the Wolfpac Sublime which has a strong lime, basil, and rosemary scent. Personna Reds have been my #1 favorite blade since I started over 2 years ago. I have both the 6S and 6C and prefer the quality and weight of the stainless steel 6S. I have it with Rhodium plating from Razor Emporium so probably the real reason why I prefer it and the slickness. :-) Cheers, Mark

  • @rlwilson39
    @rlwilson39 7 років тому

    I absolutely love the Rockwell 6C. I got the gunmetal finish! Had an awesome shave this morning. About 3 days growth and used the #4 guard on the 1st pass with the Rockwell razor provided. Then the #2 guard for a 2nd pass. No cleanup needed. My skin is actually clearing up and I have less razor bumps/burn after using it.

  • @TheAndreastt1
    @TheAndreastt1 7 років тому

    Great video, Nick! I agree with your statement about chrome vs. stainless steel razors. I feel like razors made from chrome glide more easily over your skin.
    Also, that Wolfpac shaving soap just sounds awesome!
    REQUEST:
    It would be nice to see you use CaD again. It's one of my favourite shaving soaps and the first PAA soap I ever bought.

  • @jake31376
    @jake31376 7 років тому

    Good to see you back at it Nick! Thanks for the review but have already discovered Persona Israeli's which now are my go to blades. Have you tried Pacific Shaving Co's Caffeinated shaving cream? Have had some amazing shaves with it.

      From my experience, the Reds are another and sharper. Overall, a much nicer blade. I personally couldn't use lab blues due to it but being sharp enough.
