THE BEST SHAVE EVER | THE PERFECT SHAVE DISCOVERED AFTER 35-YEARS!

What is the best way to treat razor bumps?

Hey Ash! Great video, and the channel too, I've discovered it just recently, and there is some really great advice. I switched to DE shaving about 5 months ago, and I really enjoy it. It's not a chore anymore, but a great way to start a day and de-stress. Carry on with the good work 🙂

Perfect shave is an oxymoron. The only times that any parts of me have been shaved in the last 50+ years were in hospital.

I allways carry a razor in my rucksack when spending days or weeks in the wilderness, it helps me feeling hygenic and to maintain mental discipline and high moral. Never skept a morning shave for the last 3 years, doesn't matter the circumstances 😆.

Hi Ash, please could you stop making these videos, you are costing me a fortune 🙂. Seriously keep up the good work.

👍

Totally agree with the feather and mild angle awesome combo

Hi Ash, How many shaves do you tend to get from each razor blade? Thanks, Phil

I know it’s been awhile, but today I used the menthol pre shave, Reuzel shave cream this morning. It was a great shave. Pretty close to shave nirvana!

amazingly guided......i will shaving this way too

I use a Murke open comb 34c with a feather blade. Proraso pre shave Taylor's of Bond st Shaving creme with a Taylor's Badger brush.I do have heavy growth so I need an aggressive shave.

I love my Merkur future razor, with prorazo cream, feather blade and badger brush. Just can't understand why guys spend silly amounts on the multi blade brands and nasty chemical shave gels? I can buy 100 feather blades for £18 (might be a bit more now) it's a no brainer.

it is a nice review but you mention two different number of Merkur Razor- 34 first and then 38 ! could you please tell me that which one i have to buy - 34 or 38. thanks

Thanks ash I’m 57 . Been looking for this most of my life I’m going to copy you on this and buy the same

Hey Ash! Greetings from Atlanta! I ordered all the elements used in your video via Amazon. The Merkur razor and the Proraso pre-shave arrived today and I had my initial shave. Wow, what a difference! My father taught me to shave 45+ years ago using a safety razor, but most of the time since, I’ve been using some brand of disposable, multi-blade razor. Those days are over! Thank you for making “old school” new again! Warm rgds, Geoff

FLORIS Special No.127 (1910) — originally “Orloff Special” (1890) — is an understated gem and an excellent choice for springtime.

Great vid Ash. Have ordered some Proraso thanks to your advice. I also tried using post shave balm as a preshave substitute to Proraso and the effect was amazing: no nics and a great result. Thanks again and keep the content coming!

Great video, Ash! Thank you for motivating me to get back into shaving with a proper razor.

I'm not sure a DE blade shave is better than say a mach3 but it's cheaper per blade and more relaxing so in effect its like a mindfulness class first thing in the am. Also, if you're shaving everyday with a DE you're going to have a fairly raw face come Friday

It's a Merkur 38c Barber Pole razor paired with a Feather blade. In my view a 6.5 out of 10 aggression razor, but paired with a super aggressive Feather. For me it's the perfect marriage for day to day shaving. But for heavy growth the terrifying Muhle R41 with an Astra blade. Either way Proraso pre shave is an absolute must. Anything Proraso is out of this world to shave with. Another great video Sir!

Excellent video!!!

REUZEL is indeed the Dutch word for Lard but is a wink to Pomade ingredients from the past. Almost all our products are vegan, the rest is vegetarian because they contain beeswax or lanolin. Nice you've chosen our Shave Cream in your routine. 💪🤠

I'll slightly surprised that your perfect shave doesn't include a decent brush. I cannot have a good (let alone great) shave without one, regardless of the type of cream used. Great if it works for you though!

Loving the choice of Feather + a mild razor though - that's my go to.

Say, since deciding to pick up a kit with some of these products -- reading some online reviews, I came upon many who use Proraso Pre-Shave Cream as pre and post. Have you considered this instead of the Citrus Kiss ? Seems also to have moisturizing qualities, thoughts?

Great content as always, I did a small fist pump at the mention of proraso pre shave as I use it too ( also as an aftershave balm works well too) as a sucker for all the products, I have the shaving cream, aftershave splash and balm all from the proraso green line, they are all excellent, but it will be searching out the reuzel products to give them a try. Can't match your Frankenstein razor combo but certainly will be adding witch hazel and citrus kiss to try list, always a pleasure to watch, what would we do without you!

Great video. I have to try the lard too.

Great vid Ash, a Franken razor nice. Not a fan of Reuzel but will try it once more to be fair and give it a chance. Yes language and your words elevate you more than clothes and things. Your speech and how you carry yourself speaks volumes about you.
Enjoy the warmer weather!

This was extremely enjoyable to watch.

I live in the Bronx NY, but I will shave outside on the block, maybe on the sidewalk 👍🏽 I’m searching my shaving nirvana

Nice product cheers for recommending Ash

Great razor and a good shave! 🪒 However, Ash, you are cheating yourself the pleasure of a good brush, and losing the benefits one adds to your quality of shave. Do yourself a favor and get a brush; some if the best are British made, too!

Hi Ash, great shave! I use Reuzel as a preshave and then lather with, for example, TOBS. It works a treat. What do you think of this technique?

No shaving brush?!?!?! That’s blasphemy old boy!! 😂 I’ve copied you in some of the products you’ve used but I’ll be hard pressed to give up me brush.

Why do British folks shave and wash face in standing water? Vs. Running water.

Ash, you are shaving against the grain; your strokes up your neck are clearly against the grain : D

Thanks for the video, the Reusel as applied I thought would clog the razor, but it didn’t look to be the case. Have you tried face lathering it with a brush?

Great shave Ash, You mention Reuzel produce, You should try there aftershave, It holds lots of moisturizing elements such as Witch Hazel, Nettle Leaf, Rosemary & Horsetail Root. Fantastic on the skin, Its almost like a aftershave and balm combined, Lovely citrus fresh aroma to. Not that expensive around £9.00 100ml. Good luck and happy shaving.

The problem with safety razor shaving there is a learning curve and you to experiment with razor and blade combinations to get the best shave for your face. But once you get it worked out it's dead simple. The only thing I would like to try is a double safety razor with a bar on one side and comb on the other. This gives a side to use for the first past and the other for the second and third pass. Unfortunately I saw it a month ago and haven't been able to find it again,

I’m originally from Connecticut, the “witch hazel capitol of the world.” The indigenous Native Americans discovered its medicinal properties centuries ago. My dad always splashed on some witch hazel after shaving and I do too. It’s a lovely mild astringent and skin toner.

Nice shave, sir. I use electric shaver.
Thanks again for the good video.

Lovely! If you enjoy the actual shaving process, you may like to use a harder soap and a brush and lather bowl. A good local brand for you would be Wickhams. Cheers and thanks for the video.

Nothing like a good shave. And I know we all have preferences for the preparation, but I can't see really enjoying the shave without working a badger hair brush into the small bowl holding a round bar of high quality shaving soap. In addition to that that, I prefer to soften my beard by either showering first, or using hot-wet towels for a few minutes.

Difficult to find selection of double edge blades in supermarkets and pharmacies these days. Please advise.

I use the exact same setup. (Except for the handle). I swear by the combination Merkur, Feather and Proraso. I too had been searching for the perfect shave because my facial hair is prone to ingrow, but with this setup all my problems are gone now.

After giving my face a nasty scar with a slip of my safety razor, I have gone back to my trusty Gillette five blade fusion proglide. I get a much closer shave with the five blade cartridges and no more horrible accidents.

A real chap always stands his ground, doesn't fall to laziness (like in the modern era) and shaves in any situation even if it means with icy cold water if that's what is available. I will look for the Reuzel.

I’ve been using reuzel for a good few months now , get the mousse astringent ash it’s a game changer

So you don’t use shaving soap 🧼?

Thank you for informing us about the Reuzel product.
I had never heard of it even though I'm from the Netherlands.

Nice. By the way, what did Boris want?

Floris 127 is BEAUTIFUL
