My journey to a more traditional way of shaving, started after I contracted meningitis; it left me with some 'lifetime' health issues, that prompted me to consider simple ways to get more enjoyment from life. By chance, I saw a shaving video and soon bought my first safety razor. Those tentative first shaves turned into a passion for something I'd previously considered a chore; nowadays, I take my time and enjoy my 'zen in the den' time.

Very nice👍🌲
Nice shave Mark! Great looking scales on that razor! I like the looks of the JJ shorties 😎👍 The mirror I use is on the medicine cabinet above the bathroom sink, so I'm not sure where to find a good magnetic one. My last SOTD: Stirling Arance Mandarini soap and splash(Blackfriday scent), WCS Midnight Collection razor with a PAA Platinum Strangelet blade, and the TRC Cherry Royale synthetic brush. Have a good one! Steve
great shave 👍🏻
I always enjoy your straight razor shaves, Mark.
Hi Mark as always it's lovely to see your smiling face my friend. I hope that you and your Mam are both well and look forward to seeing your "Den" once it's finished.
why did you relocate from bathroom to kitchen?
Very nice unboxing. Nice looking stuff 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Cool🌲
Thanks!👍
Nice shave Mark!! Back to straights.
It has been a little while.😀
Nice shave Mark! The gents I've seen use that razor all love it, though I believe their's were the aluminum versions. I'm sure they all shave great 😎👍 Have a good one! Steve
Hi Steve. I'm sure the aluminium version is just as good as the one I have - it is superb for me. A happy razor - another one 😀
I just got my first Supply Pro razor yesterday and used it for the first time today. I love this thing! I am a rookie at using anything other than a Gillete razor, so it was a little odd to use. The shave was very smooth, and I knicked myself a tiny bit. That is probably something I'll figure out after a few shaves, but I did decide to sit it at number 1 until I get accustomed to this.
Nicely done, Roger. It is a nice easy razor to shave with and I know you won't have any trouble with it. Enjoy your shaves, my friend.
Great shave my friend! Awesome jjshorty! Happy weekend
Thanks Sean 👍 I do like that shorter blade, it is very easy to shave with. Take care.
Mark. Many thanks.
Thank you, my friend.
Just had my third shave with this razor--this time with a med prep blade. It may not be heirloom quality, but it gives surprisingly good shaves. I think with modest care it will outlast me!
I have had my first shave with it and can report it is very easy to use! I had a great shave; I'm impressed.
Good evening sir, allow me to tell you that you keep the razor and shaving brush holders upside down. That is, you turn it upside down. There is the point where each one sits.
What? OMG - That is genius 😂 Thank you very much, for telling me, my friend. I feel a little bit stupid, here 😀 I will be sure to point this out in the next video.
@@FriendshipShaving don't worry i have also seen it by mistake from another video, from another friend who does the same videos and i saw that if you put the straight upside down and the screws are on the bottom it has a base that snaps on the razors and brushes. 😂
Nice unboxing Mark! I'll look forward to seeing the razor in action! I like the blade box and stands you got as well. I have a couple 3D printed freestanding razor stands that interlock. They hold the razors in a similar way (by the heads) I just don't remember where or who I bought them from. But they work great 😀👍 Have a good one! Steve
nice shave mate . oh yes i do like a jj shorty i have 2 . easy to use and i like the style
I love it
Great lather with the Italian soap. Nice shave with the JJ s razor. Enjoy your weekend Mark
Thanks 👍 Same to you, Roy
Great unpacking, the holders look fantastic. Great ideas
They're very clever. It's amazing technology.
That shorty really is very attractive. It looks to the eyes of the uninitiated, to be ideal for a first time straight razor shaver. All in all, a very much luxurious shave with the highest levels of pampering. Wishing you and your mum(please give her my regards) a lovely weekend and a great week to come.
I think it really is a good razor for the uninitiated, Lee. The small blade makes it easier to handle and a little safer. I will certainly pass your regards on to mam; it tickles her pink. Thanks mate.
A slippy thumb sounds like some kind of emphasis. On the note of which,"soapy" refers, for foreigns in Thailand at least, to a form of gentleman's entertainment, involving a bath, soap, and a young lady/man devoid of clothing, providing said entertainment.
I've always thought Thailand sounded like a great place 😂
@@FriendshipShaving 🤭🤭🤭👌👌👌🏆🏆🏆🏆
Ahhhh, so it quite literally is a case of "mirror, mirror, on the wall"😂😂😂
Oh yes.
That is a very interesting looking razor indeed, Mark! I am very much looking forward to seeing it in action.
It's very good, Lee!
Hi Mark, I like all of the products you showed. I hope the adhesive strip is strong and will hold a full load of razors. The blade box is a great idea. Can't wait to see a review of the DE razor in your next video.
Hi David - I have been told the razor holder upside down 😂 on the other side are raised areas into which the razor head sits! Doh!
Very nice additions to the Den, I do have that 3D in my wish list, love the clear+blue colour combo.👌🤠👌
I have just had one heck of a shave with it! Very comfortable and effective. More next week Lawrie.
Barbers used to put pre-shave on before applying hot towels as well and again after I believe, I also like to let the pre-shave sit on the face for a bit before applying lather, normally 5-10mins during which time I build my bowl lather. I'm also a fan of doing a short soap semi-bloom (5-10mins is normally enough) with a teaspoon of water over the soap scoop in the lather bowl, particularly on my firmer soaps (not so much with creams nor really soft soaps) and start my bowl lather build with a squeezed out brush, works great for me. I also find synthetic knots do tend to "loosen-up" after 5-10 lathers. Very nice looking lather today as well.👌🤠👌
The soap lathers so much more easily, as you know and what I like, is that I don't have any soap left in the bowls nooks and crannies when I clean it out. Cheers buddy, be well.👍
Lovely, Italian shave mission accomplished!
Thank you, agent Steve👍 This message will self destruct in 10 seconds...😀
Very nice Mark. Looks amazing, I love the razor it’s very impressive as what you can do with a 3D printer, Hope mam is ok Have a great weekend Atb Paul
Thanks, you too! We are all good mate. All the best to you both👍
Hi Mark. Always find the straight razor shaves exciting. I just can't master that way of shaving. I have a small double sided mirror in a drawer but don't use it for shaving. Instead I stand in front of a big mirror above the bathroom washbasin. In terms of mapping the hair growth on my face, I have a good idea which direction the stubble grows. Like you, I don't have any unusual or challenging patterns of hair grown on my face. Shaving my head is a different matter, because you're shaving "blind" at the back of the head. I just try to feel my way around with my left hand to find the bits I've missed! By the way, Mark, did you receive an email I sent to you on 21st August? I thought it might interest you. Have a great weekend mate.
Hi David. I think I would find head shaving a bit of a challenge, to be honest. I suppose if I had to, I would soon get used to it but I'm pleased I don't have that extra chance to cut myself. I did receive your email, thank you. Take care, David.
That looked really great !!! An excellent shave !!!
Thank you Graham! I hope you are all keeping well, my friend.
Hi Mark- Great unboxing; thank you! It’s fantastic to see what folks are doing with 3-D printing! All the best, my friend.
Many thanks!
Hi Mark- Great shave; thank you! It was nice to hear your thoughts on the Evo shave brush- appreciated! I hope you have a relaxing weekend ahead. Sending best regards, as always, my friend!
Hi Mike. I am enjoying the Evo more and more! Very nice. Take good care, my friend.
I got my razor three days ago (ordered the 3 more aggressive plates). My first two shaves have been very good.
They are quite aggressive plates, too. Bruno gives you a good choice of plates. I've had two epic shaves with mine, so far!
Nice combo shave today I do like that color on your straight razor 🪒 my shave was lea puck sandalwood and menthol shaving soap, with j j shorty dragon 🐉 straight razor 💈
looking forward to the new den tour and the razor review
Mate, I cannot wait. Once the decorator has been I will be putting up shelves; buying linoleum etc. There's still a bit to do but I will get there!
I have the same razor from Bruno believe me you will be shocked how it shaves I use plate 8 it’s a fantastic shave
Hi Gary. Phenomenal little razor. I have had two great shaves with the .8 and .6 plate. Both really great.
Very nice shave Mark. Nice straight razor. Ive been using my shavette on and off for a year now. Im ready to get a real straight now. So i been looking. So many to choose from. Great soap choice you had as well.
Great shave, nice razor and absolutely beautiful lather. Lathering is my most favorite part of the shave.
Nice shave Mark. JJ does great work. 😎
Great shave. Love the razor. My GC .76 is my daily razor. Love all the proraso shave creams. The Nivea is a great way to finish a shave. Oh Shave Dads is great as well. Thank you. Have a great rest of your day.
Hey Mark. Super shave I know you like the 94. Speaking of 94 . It’s 94 degrees here in PA! Have a good one.
Ooh, that is slightly warm! 😃 No running around, just gentle walking. Take care.
Very nice.Thank you🌲
Welcome 😊
Could this be used as a daily tool?
Yes, I think so. It generally has favourable reviews, as far as I am aware and the .38 blade gap is small and not too aggressive; so I would say yes.
@@FriendshipShaving Thanks Mark! Just ordered one. Great vid as always 😊
Great video. Great razor and blade showcase!
Mark. Thank you.
No worries!
Hi Mark, lovely tabac with a great razor! I'm in the Netherlands at the moment so exploring shave soaps here!!
Wonderful, Andy. What a fabulous country. I hope you are having a nice time and find some wonderful Dutch shaving accoutrements. Frits mit mayonnaise, is the the only thing I can say in Dutch 😃 Take care.
Hi Mark- Great shave; thank you! Fantastic-looking razor! I’ll bet it works like a charm in aluminum, as well. I hope you have a restful weekend- feet-up! I’m planning on doing the same. Be well, Mark, and sending best regards, as always, my friend!
Good for you, Mike. You take easy and enjoy your weekend, mate. Take good care of yourself my friend.
I had the opportunity to purchase the stand when I purchased the razor. I didn't but now I wish I did. And apparently they do not sell them individually.
I've done that with so many razors and then regretted not having a matching stand but sometimes, especially with stainless steel razors, the stands can be very expensive on top of the already expensive razor. It's quite the dilemma.
@@FriendshipShaving The other problem with stainless steel razors is the packaging. You pay a lot of money for the packaging. Most collectors will keep the packaging. A normal person will throw the packaging or keep it to resell the shaver later on. If it come in just a little cardboard box bubble wrap, you'd probably save $30
Great idea for the razer stand: dual purpose, nice one. I really must purchase a Tabac soap. Nice razor and brush. Enjoy your weekend Mark
I was impressed Roy, I thought it was really a very clever idea. Take good care and enjoy your weekend, mate. All the best.
That's a lovely looking razor and I did have the ALU version for s short time, with the wide handle it was great in the hand but unfortunately I didn't get on with the how it shaved, so I swapped it for a different ALU razor. I find many of the "G' type knots have a bit to much backbone for my liking for a Synthetic, I prefer the softer ones like Synbad or Cashmere.👌🤠👌
Oh, what a shame! It happens though, as we all know. The Synbad knot I think will always be my favourite, that and my faux Pony, or whatever it was called. fabulous. take care, mate.
