Shave Every Day with a Safety Razor

- I love shaving with my double edged safety razor, but I don't always have time to use my shaving soap, brush and bowl. Here's a video to show that you can shave every day, quickly, with a safety razor and good canned shaving cream.

I lost my dad when I was a little kid and these videos are like the shave lessons and chats we never got to have. Good stuff.
Sorry for the loss of your Father, but thanks for the nice compliment. It really makes it worthwhile to do when I hear that sort of thing.
Interesting. I've never have chats about shaving with my father, so I think it's not about if your father died when you were a kid or not.
I'm sorry for your loss. I have a father, but I don't feel like I got the full father experience. He paid the bills... which is good enough, I suppose, but I feel like I didn't get most of the crucial man-to-man talks I should have.
I got "the talk" from my mother. My father never taught me how to shave, how to date, how to haggle, how to fight, how to work out, how to play a sport... none of that stuff.
The only "father" talk I remember him giving me was the, "How to get pulled over/ interact with police" and such.
I'm not bent out of shape about it. I get that simply paying the bills is better than a lot of my peer's fathers... but... I definitely want to do better for my son.
I feel you 100%. Even though it's on UA-cam, I came across wet shaving videos, and there's just something very important and manly about this stuff.
Can't put my finger on it... and my GF feels the same way. She's had boyfriends who shave when they have to, with cartridges that take as much thinking out of the process as possible... but she's never seen a guy shave like they give a damn.

There's just something about shaving that makes you feel clean and ready for the day, it should be a part of every man's morning routine.
Yeah, except you should be shaving your head, not your face :P
Safety razors are about pride in being a MAN.

i'll put this here for future viewers. you can plug your sink and fill it with water and just shake the razor in the water to rinse it. that's how your great great grandad probably did it!
@@DavidLinn surefire way to bang you razor against some hard ceramic sink. Especially, if you're using a straight razor, don't want to ruin your edge.
@@lucasbrucas9632 you're absolutely right if you're using a straight razor. but i've done it with my safety and unless i stab the top against the edge of the sink, it won't touch the razor. personally, i like clean water, so i run it
@@DavidLinn or he could just fill the soap bowl 1:35 with water to rinse the hair of the blade
@@lucasbrucas9632 You don't even need water during the shave if you are using a straight, you can just wipe it.
Dude, your Fatboy is a piece of history. One of the best razors ever made and built to last two lifetimes at least. Clean it every now and then and hand it down to your son .
looks like lime scale on the razors. just let em soak in vinegar for a few days.

Thank you for posting this video. It was fascinating! I had just been thinking that I can't remember anyone actually teaching me about shaving or at least not much. It is very nice to hear your narration as you work and see the results and different options. Thank you.
You look a lot like Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad

Thanks for throwing the Real Life side of wet shaving out there!!!! Great sense of humor! We're a lot a like in that aspect. I love the brushes, the creams, the extravigance of it all... but during mid week with the crazy stuff life throws ar you. Just let me get two passes a shot of espresso and hit the road!
With that said.. the retro/vintage style of shaving cannot be beat! Slims, Fatboys, Techs.. It is fun! Thanks for the laughs, and making it real!
To make things faster I soak the brush while I shower, and then to lather the soap takes no more than 15-20 seconds and smells much better then any shaving cream ive used.
This is an awesome video. Simple and straight to the point. No fancy stuff needed. Many thanks
*Thanks for keeping it simple!*

Excellent video, enjoyed this very much, you make it fun to watch too..love DE shaving too .. :-)
Came back again to post an update. This is one of the best beginner DE shave tutorials available IMO. A tip: often, I get too much cream out of the can on the first burst. Just use what I need and "park" the rest on the side of sink for the 2nd pass. Waste not, want not!
I just bought my first safety razor and couldn't afford all the other shaving products, soap, brush etc.. so it's good to know I can use regular shaving lotion until I can buy the rest of the stuff. Thanks for video
Albert Corales you can, but resoults with shaving cream and brush will be better, you will use the same time and have a smoother dace with less to no irritations
2 years later, how's your experience with the safety razor? I have just ordered my first safety razor online and I'm curious. After years of using Gillette Mach 3, I really hope my skin won't get so irritated. So, how is it?
Just shave using a soap
You are blessed with a nice manly voice. Love your efforts
Thanks Yassir!
I use a 1960's fatboy too. It was my dad's razor. It get the job done. I have found that saving gels gum up the blade and I have to remove and wipe off the gunk.
One of the best shaving videos on UA-cam.
Got me into DE safety razoring.
For christmas i got the micro touch one from my parents along with he van der hagen soap and boars head shave set. I literally had the closest and best wet shave ever! I understand that the stuff I used isn't top quality, but even that was better than any multi blade razor I have used in the past. I no longer have any irritated skin from shaving. I'm really happy with safety razors and proper shave soaps.

I bought a fatboy razor in its case for $1 at a yard sale. It was shorter and the dial indicator was a different color. I had to look it up because I didn’t know anything about them. It was a prototype from 1955, I think. I sold it on eBay to some guy in Spain lol. It was interesting to learn about razor history. I used Mach 3s at the time, myself. Now I use a straight razor. I used to use disposable razors, now I shave.
Disposable razors are the work of the devil I don't know how anyone can regularly use them
32 years of shaving. Just got my first safety razor, so I figured I had better learn something. Thanks for this.
how's it going now
you're hilarious, entertaining, and informational. I loved this video. Thank you man
was a satisfying watch, makes me want to up my shaving game
This is a great video. I thought I was the only one doing this type of video.
great video, but dang bro! don't leave the water running the whole time! haha
I will not sleep tonight cause I am thinking wasting water
Some say that his water is still running today.

@@l.2008 i never understood filling the sink, even if you clean your sink perfectly before each time, i wouldnt like having stagnant sink water to rinse my face razor in, maybe i am OCD or germ freak, but yea.
@Cristiano Lopes most likely, but OCD can be beneficial sometimes.
hey man, great video. awesome personality to show through on a shaving video, good stuff
best shaving video ever! got a lot of new info from you. thanks!!!
"Just let the weight of the razor do the work for you"
This is something that I was hoping to get some advice on. I recently forayed into DE wet shaving and it's been a great experience. Overall a massive improvement in comfort from cartridge razors. But something I've noticed is that in some spots, I have to apply some small amount of pressure. Particularly some regions around my neck. If I don't, the razor just doesn't cut anything. I can feel it begin to tug and pull as it skips over my hairs that it can't cut. I've tried a multitude of blades, ranging from Personna Blues, to Astra Platinums, to Feathers, and they all run into some kind of issue like this. I've ruled out possible faulty blades.
I'm just curious if that means I need to switch it up and get a more aggressive razor, perhaps? I've heard people say that aggressive razors are no-nos for beginners (and I'm still very much a beginner), but at the same time, I feel like that if you shave with a mild razor when you NEED an aggressive one, you'll run into more discomfort than if you just grabbed an aggressive one from the start.
Great video btw. I don't usually shave every day, just every other day or so, and wet shaving has actually helped me get a good routine going. I used to wake up as late as humanly possible to get ready for work, now I find myself waking up hours beforehand just to make sure I have enough time to thoroughly enjoy my morning shave. I like wet shaving THAT much. Shaving with can shaving cream doesn't sound like a bad thing though. In a pinch I think it'd be a great alternative. Something you may want to give a try if you haven't already are shaving sticks --- they're honestly very fast to apply and don't take very long to lather up with a brush. I use a Derby shaving stick if I need to shave in a pinch. It has a unique kind of smell. I don't know how to describe it, but it's certainly not a bad scent. It just smells clean. The Derby stuff also acts as a fantastic conditioner since it contains tallow. Even after I've done one pass, my skin still feels totally slick and smooth in that area. Heck, some mornings I apply it if I just want to condition my stubble and make my skin feel good.
This is sort of mesmerizing...and informational. You actually took the fear out of the process. Soothing voice and humorous too. Barbasol should hire you!
Thank you for this video, coming from someone interested in the everday aspect as opposed to the luxury of it.
The barbasol looks more convenient too as opposed to whipping up lather.
The way this man speaks is relaxing me 🙂
Ah, the humble beginnings of a legend.
I've been watching shaving videos for about a month now and I'm so happy I stumbled onto videos like this, especially for people just starting to introduce wet shaving into their life. Not everyone can get brushes and soaps

Thanks!
@@SinatraLennon My honour SinatraLennon :)
Informative and funny. "Like those guys with 20 or more soaps behind them in racks lol." Too funny.
I am not a gentleman but thank goodness, I still fancy a shave.
GalCharlotte fancy =)
Thanks for this! i have just began to use a safetyrazor again after 25y with machine! and boy! what a feel! and i get a real "manmoment" for myself! :D greetings from Sweden - Levi (i got myself a Gilette with "butterfly" opening)
Love the banter in the videos, could easily listen to a podcast or some sort of radio station from you
Thanks!
To anyone afraid, after the Gillette nonsense I bought a safety razor and feather blades. On my first day I shaved my face and balls. No nicks no burns, nothing. I ended up turning my aggressiveness to the max because I like a super close shave. One advice that everyone gives and worked great for me: don't put pressure, let the weight of the safety razor take care of itself and 30* angle. You'll find the angle makes a huge difference in terms of closeness of shave so it took me a few minutes to realize the optimum angle. I am extremely pleased with the results
just wanted to say thanks! this video got me interested in using a double edge safety razor, and I love it. I watched it cuz you look like Ferris Buehler's friend.
I love that movie! Good ol' Cameron.
07:23 LOL why did you bring your razor to the one night stand! Too funny!
AWESOME focus on using whatever works.
Exactly! Use what suits you.
Only guy that can talk and shave, good vid!
Except everyone else on UA-cam that does too.
My dad could talk, smoke, cuss, all while shaving. Had the Fatboy...didn't know that was what it was called... I still have it... your vid made me think of him!
This is like ASMR for me :)
Thank you for all your tips, these are really helpful.
My pleasure!
Really love your videos! Any tips for shaving against the neck with a DE razor? I always have trouble getting the right angle there and end up having to do all sorts of contortions.
I always knew Saul was classy like this.
I'm glad i didn't waste my whole life using cartriges. My wife was a little scared when she saw me watching your video the first time! No really, thanks. I ended up ordering from Amazon because i'm in canada. Got a merkur and a variety pack blades. Tried the merkur and the Astra SP blades. second shave, preferring the Astra so far. I'm going to try and locate my great uncles blade stropper from WWII. It's not the cost of cartridges, i can afford them, but the DE shave is just so much better.
Been using my double edged safety razor for almost 3 years, best thing I ever bought.
That is pure stand-up comedy! I love it! Subscribed!
I like to shave to be fresh when I know I'm going out or something but then the next day or 2 when I don't shave I feel grows and not as fresh and fierce that clean shave makes you feel so yeah I'ma try to shave more often to have that clean and freshness and also that self-esteem throw the rof honestly now I see that have a clean shave does affect your day and how good you feel . I would not shave everyday and that was cause I was being lazy but now I know that I wanna be sharp for the day
That sounds like a great attitude to have! Get a clean shave every day, make your bed and clean up your room every day. Stay on top of things in life and you’ll feel empowered!
I also shave with my DE Metkur 33C and shaving foam. Kinda felt bad for not using the brush, soap and bowl, good to know I am not the only one doing the DE+canned foam combo.
I think any gel is better than these foams !!!
gel is 2 times the money for half the product. so you're getting a quarter of the product you'd get for foam for twice the price of a can of foam
Just started looking at de shaving videos. And one of the negatives to me was all the stuff, bowl, brush, soap. I'm just looking to get a shave. Good to know that while all of the stuff is better, it's not absolutely necessary for a good shave.
Excellent video. Nice to know that you don't need to use fancy soaps and brushes to DE shave. I tried it once before, but didn't have the patience for the "ritual".
After watching your video, I plan to give it another shot.
I didn't find all these shaving videos until a few months after I started to grow a beard. Now i'm jealous of all the shavers out there.
You have an awesome camera presence! I like it.
I didnt expect a good laugh when i clicked on this
Good video man
This is what I was looking for. I want to use a safety razor to line up my beard, but I don't want to get into all the lathering with a brush.
You definitely introduced me to shaving back when I was in 8th grade. I've been obsessed with shaving ever since.
Is that a good or a bad thing?! 😆 Hopefully you love every minute of it.
@@SinatraLennon sure thing it's a good thing. Shaving is really fun tbh with you.
It's funny to see video's like this on youtube. I'm in my 40's and don't know why, but I've always used a safety razor. Except for when I was at Paris Island. I prefer the shaving soaps over the cream, but like you said, when you're in a hurry cream will do. I just never fell in the trap of multi blades. I guess their fine if you shave once a week and change the blades every month but I shave everyday. Any way not that my story matters, I just thought it funny coming across your video.
Well done. Thinking of trying the safety razor.
It's totally worth giving a try !
I've been shaving with a DE for about a year now, so my technique is pretty good. I get practically no irritation which is great coming from a guy who was plagued with horrible skin due to cartridge razors not long ago. I've been using Proraso's shave foam for a few months now and I must say, it is also fantastic. Don't let the can fool you, this stuff is practically just pre-whipped shaving cream and fantastic shaving cream at that! Granted, Proraso usually never disappoints. They have the standard Menthol which is my favorite, along with Sandalwood and Non-scented (Sensitive). So if the brush and bowl aren't your thing, I highly recommend this stuff. You can get an 11 oz. can from Amazon for $9! I have also recently purchased some Barbasol and was also impressed, it will be in my rotation. Though the Proraso still seems of higher quality, but that's to be expected. Just some info for new wet shavers out there.
Thank you for this video! Every other video I've watched tonight has been talking about brushes, soaps, creams, mugs, etc etc etc and it really made me doubt switching to a safety razor. I mean who wants to put that kind of investment into shaving right? I'm glad to know I don't NEED all that stuff to shave and that a can of Barbasol and some hot water will suffice. Thanks again for the upload!
Not bad... no bad... good advise, but I cannot agree with the can of shaving cream soap.. it is too chemical and irritates my skin, I gave it up years ago, I know is practical and fast, but the side effects were not worth it. I shave at night when I can take all the time i need and not rush, it is a daily experience I look forward every time. Love your collection of razors, I am done buying new razors and just began developing my vintage collections. I enjoyed your video.
Hey sir you have a nice voice you should have gone radio sir nice job sir
Jeez Sinatra, can't believe it's been 8 years! Hope you are staying safe in that storm over there
Thank you very much for this tutorial! It was really helpful to me
My pleasure! Hope it helped you out.
Good video but I probably shave different than most guys, I've always shaved first, then took my bath, that way I got a total face and body rinse just in case I slung shaving cream up in my hair and got my face totally rinsed of any left over shave cream residue but to each his own.
Jack Stubbington It seems to me the better way to shave cause even if you nick yourself, after you take a shower, it's had time to stop bleeding and you get a good overall rinse anyway.
Rock N I agree with the shave before the shower. I find that the shower rids my face of all the natural oils your face puts off, leaving it kind of dry afterwards, especially with hard water. I just throw on a bit of Cremo, slap a hot towel on my face for a couple minutes to soften the beard and open the pores, and than proceed to lather and shave. Seems to work much better for me.
Ryan Lee I've been shaving for 34 years now and have always done it like that, Just seems to me the better way to go and you get totally clean and rinsed of everything. I did used to do the hot towel also but got out of it over time but it does help a lot,
Rock N I used nothing but an electric razor for the past 15 years. Have never used a blade on my face until just a few weeks ago. The skin on my face is new to razors, let alone one blade in a safety razor. So I pretty much have to do the hot towel for now, I am sure my face will toughen up a bit months from now and get used to the blade. But I gotta say, shaving is much more enjoyable than it was with the electric.
Ryan Lee I was always a wet shave guy cause that's how my Dad always shaved. I shaved with the Gillette track 2 for over 20 years, so I'm not sure how I would have ever liked the electric shave since all I ever knew was wet shaving and yes, to me I also enjoy that type of shaving as well. It's done the job since 1981, lol
I bought one of those cheap $2-3 DE razors from china as a cheap to try but had been put off using it because of the people telling me i needed brushes, soap etc and was scared of many cuts.. Thanks to this video i went and tried it with the blade it came with and some regular foam. Brilliant. Probably the easiest and best wet shave i've ever had. One tiny nick which closed off with the cold water rinse. Thank You very much sir.
Glad to hear that I could help you cut through the wet shaving dogma. Brushes and fine soaps are great, and you should try some some day, but simple rules out a lot of the time.
Just got my first DE razor (cheap Chinese-made one from Wal-Mart, although I look forward to trying others such as Merkur once I've had more practice, maybe even an adjustable) last night! This made me feel better about using good old Barbasol with it, I haven't gotten all the other purist paraphernalia although that will also be nice to try in the future. It's fun to learn something new and practice a new skill, while saving money on blades at the same time!
Nice video :) I started to use Muhle R89 Grande, today was 3rd shave and it is great!
You said that you shave every day. How often do you change the razor blade? 1 for a day? 1 for a week? Month? Dont say it just depends how it feels. You must have some system.
I get four or five shaves out of a blade. I use Feather blades which are the sharpest you can buy, so other blades may give you less.
the dad i never had
;(
Really good video I really enjoyed watching. I recently discovered alum matches work very well for small nicks. I stated out with my safety razor and canned foam because that I all I had. But I do find the hard soaps or creams nicer so I'm am now reluctant to use cans again but as you have show it does work. Some creams however can make a good foam without a brush
Aerosol shaving cream came out in the 50s around the time safety razors such as the fat boy were popular. Men for decades have lathered up with canned foam and used their trusty safety razors.
Great video. I like that you didn't push all the fancy products like so many do, and just stuck with the barbasol. I have tried many fancy shaving soaps or croaps, but I still haven't found any that work better than barbasol. And tgat's not even getting into the cost. Like you, I need to shave every day, and I need to do it in a hurry. I still haven't seen the benefits of switching to a DE over my mach 3 razors. Ive got my shave time down super fast. I'd guess an average of 2 min, and I rarely get a nick or a cut. By rarely I mean, I cant even remember the last time that I did. I only do one pass because For an every day shave I go for presentable, not baby smooth. And then I just throw on a nice aftershave, and voila. A great shave on the double. If I switch to a DE razor it will slow my down by at least doubling or trippling my shaving time, I will have to be more cautious, and I will inevitably end up with nicks and cuts often (all of which seem to be the case after extensive watching of youtube videos by even reviewers). So what benefit is there to be had? Also, could you please tell me about how often you get nicks and cuts per shave and/or per week? And do you end up with scars as a result of those cuts? I have asked others such as mantic of all those scars are from DE shaving but he did not reply. I would love to hear a reply from you. Thank you.
I rarely get nicks and almost never get cuts unless I am using the Feather platinum blades which are the sharpest in the world. Using Feathers, I might get a small nick every other shave, but it is easily stopped and doesn't leave any permanent scars or marks on your face. I used to exclusively use Mach 3 razors and got decent, fast shaves, but after changing to DE shaving, I save a ton of money and get even better shaves. Using a DE razor doesn't add too much time to your morning shave unless you do multiple passes. I usually do 2 passes, but a lot of the time I only do one and it's very quick and looks good. With one pass, there is still some stubble on your face if you rub your hand against the grain, but you can't see it, only feel it. So, my advice to you is to give shaving with a safety razor a try! I'm never going back to my Mach 3.
SinatraLennon Thank you for your reply! Actually, since my last message, I've been converted and have been deep into the hobby for the past two months, lol. I haven't touched my cartridge razors a single time since then. I see what you mean now; I haven't had a single cut even whilst shaving every day. I only got a tiny nick on my second day of DE shaving, and other than that just a couple of instances of rapiras slicing through tiny bumps. So, consider me converted! I haven't saved any money though, lol. In fact, I've probably spent more money on shaving stuff than I had combined in the what, past 15 years of shaving. The only "let down" I still have is that my shaves are on average 30minutes with 2-3 passes, vs the 2-3minute shaves I used to get with my mach3. For better or worse, now when I don't have 30min to spend shaving in the morning, I'll just skip my shave until the evening, lol. Not sure if that's good or bad.. oh well. I will definitely try sticking to a single pass if I absolutely have to. Thanks!
svtang03 Barbasol is the best!
+SinatraLennon Unfortunately, one pass with the grain doesn't cut it for me (no pun intended) even with a more aggressive/efficient razor. If I don't go against the grain, it looks like I haven't shaved. I have dark hair and fair skin, so my stubble is very visible.
I shave while showering don't use mirror just judgement.. does that makes me a professional?
Blazed pochito professional...No.
But a God.
Christian Brown couldn't have said it better....
Happy Wet shaving Mr! :)

I'm new to shaving with a DE razor so I've been watching videos like this, and the last couple guys that I watched were real d-bags, so your video was really refreshing. Cool dude and informative vid. Thanks man!
This is the kind of comment that makes me want to make more videos. Thanks, man. I’m glad I could be of some help.
there's absolutely nothing wrong w/ Barbasol when you are in a hurry ...
He could do radio
Im new to shaving with safety razors, this was very helpful thank you. 😎🤘🏿
Great!
nice vid. Barbadol aloe is all I use. You can’t deny the lather Barbasol gives right out of the can is a quality product.
