This is exactly the video I was looking for. I haven’t had a proper shave in just over 10 years. I’ve been using an electric razor for quickness. Decided I needed to shave again and forgot the basics. I didn’t want to use cartridge blades as they just shred your face. So I bought this set. I’ve never used a safety blade before. I’m now looking forward to shaving again after watching this video. Refreshing my memory on how to have a decent shave.

Clean, prepare, shave, protect - four steps to a great shave! Thanks Geo, as usual you have delivered a thorough, informative, educational and I dare say inspirational video lesson. I can’t believe how you get me excited about shaving - which I have hated doing for many years. With your help, I’m slowly getting better with a DE blade. And I love seeing your bike too, man.

I have a question. I’ve been using a safety razor by the brand Bevel for about 3 years. So I’m not really a rookie with a safety razor. However I have never gotten a smooth close shave. When I try to shave with grain & side to side & finally against the grain, my face still gets irritated for about 3 days. So I’ve stopped going side to side and against. My question is, when guys say they get a smooth close shave, is that only with the grain or is that against the grain as well when your touching your face? Basically Is it natural to still feel stubble when touching your face against the grain?
@bobv5806

I think that's normal. I've been shaving with my Henson mild razor for a few weeks now and it performs about the same as the Harry's cartridges I previously used. Some areas are very smooth but I can still feel a little stubble in others. I'm fortunate that my face isn't terribly irritated by a second pass against the grain, but I am working on my technique so that a second pass isn't necessary. I'm not trying to pass inspection, just look good for my day.

Hi Mechanic, I wonder if you have lighter colored hair, blonde for example. Giving you softer whiskers. If so, to aggressive of a razor, like an open comb; or adjustable on to high of a setting, would account for the blessing during the shave. I have black hair, and as such, very course whiskers. I have one of the Pawn Stars TTO and it is very mild, even with my preferred Feather blades. Then I have a two piece slant that is extremely aggressive. The former, three passes to just get a shaven feeling. The latter, one pass and my face is begging for mercy. But in that one pass, I'm done for at least two days. Try a different razor. And I recommend Feather blades because they are so sharp. Less pulling and dragging, and only needs a lite touch. All is easier on the face.

@@MrJpiarull You are exactly the person to use a DE safety razor, as it sounds like you have growth like I do. I'd recommend, oh I hate to say cheap, but the Pawn Stars twist to open type as a first razor. ShaveNation has some of these for around the $20.00 range. I also recommend Feather blades. They are the sharpest, and you'll hear plenty of whining and crying about how sharp they are. But your objective is to cut hair, and no barber uses dull scissors, so why use a dull blades to shave? Cremco is a good soap, Geo seems to like Proso, and others do to. But I'd say get some in a tube, a bowl and brush, and learn to lather with the least amount of water it takes to get a lather. Take some time and let the brush really work that into your whiskers. Applying lather is the slowest part of my shave, but I've found to be the most important with my heavy course whiskers. As for the brush, everyone had an opinion, mine, with heavy whiskers is to get a natural badger or horse hair brush. Synthetics are useless for me, and I have a stiff boar hair, but it doesn't seem to lather as well.

Step 4 For a deep conditioning beard mask, let the balm sit for three minutes and then rinse.

Have been wet shaving for 6 months and thought I had it down pretty well. Then being a cheap ass I thought "well no point in wasting the blades that came in the variety pack even though some didn't work that well." Loaded up a shark stainless steel in my Rockwell 6c and went at it. I've gutted elk with less blood. So tonight back to the Voskhod blade, Stirling lemon chill soap, Rockwell razor, homemade pre and after shave oil, and it came out like a million bucks. The moral of the story, your face is worth more than a $0.05 blade. If they don't work for you, throw them out or repurpose. Also Alum block - fabulous!

Yes. Which is why I DE wet shaving now. Now don't take me as an elitist from that first comment. I still own and use Rolling Razor, their other brand The Defender, and a Head Blade (the one with the wheel attached). However, with any cartridge, I go for the least number of blades, with the widest gap. I DE my face and scalp, but I use the cartridge type for around my ears and smooth up on my scalp. The DE is cheap and takes off the major portion of stubble. Then one cartridge last me for months instead of days. I believe in using the right tools for the job. The DE is the heavy lifter, and the others are the clean up crew on my scalp. For my face though, it's DE all the way.
