#safetyrazor #shaving #ohioshaves - Jak na to + styl
Hahaha….well the joke has been on me for about 50 years. A Vietnam vet (69/70), I got the standard issue plastic razors. I just didn’t know any better. Once in a blue moon I got a straight razor barber shave from a base barber (wow was that fantastic), but for the most part it’s been that plastic, multi blade crap ever since. Thanks to you and a few other CZcamsrs, I’m now deep into the safety razor groove and am loving it. The results remind me of those barber shaves I got back in the day. Trying lots of razor and blade combos and learning proper techniques. Thanks amigo.
That's an awesome review. Thanks for sharing that Don
I get the impression that the razor companies want it to appear like using their latest razor handle and blade configuration makes you a part of the in crowd. And using anything but their latest and greatest leaves you old hat and all washed up. Two words: Sales Pressure.
Two better words: safety razor.
Thanks for sharing. That’s a different point of view and makes complete sense.
Amen brother. Will never go back. 😊
💈👍
I've enjoyed my trip down the rabbit hole much more than my wife has!😂 Shaving is no longer a chore, but more of a meditation.
Same here. It's enjoyable to actually shave again.
The fact that cartridge razors clog renders them useless.
🤣💯
That was what blew me away with the DE Razors, I was watching reviews and thinking "How is it not clogging?!?!?!?" lol I am only going into my 2nd week with the safety razors and never going back.
@@66racer That’s great, for me it’s been 7 years and never looked back.
Ways to deal with the clogging are possible. Problem is, they are not perfect and the efforts do not last long.
Double edge safety razors do often clog for me. I have two or three ways to try to manage this recurring problem: Wash the skin and hair before doing the shave; make the lather using soft water; try to make a wetter lather. Even all this, not always perfect.
I agree with the fear of safety razors 100%! I just switched to a safety razor this year and bought a Henson for myself after searching for the perfect razor for beginners. When I loaded up a razor for the first time and wanted to start shaving (after watching probably 3-4 different tutorials on youtube) I was shaking a little bit and I could not figure out why I was so scared. I'm hooked now and will never go back and love discovering all kinds of new brands, soaps, brushes, etc.
Thanks for sharing
Great public service announcement! I managed to get all the basics to start wet shaving for less than £30 and with that I have enough to keep me going for a long time.
That's fantastic
I've been using a safety razor for about 15yrs. I never put a cartridge razor on my face since. I started off with a Merkur 34C, williams mug soap and a badger brush. Oh and Gentleman Jon alum block. I still have well over half left.
Nice
On paper I totally agree with you regarding the potential savings. The shelf full of razors, brushes, soaps, and after shave products prove indicate I might not be what financial people refer to as "the smart".
I’m gonna say frugal. It was smart of you to make the switch. Like a lot of people you enjoy shaving again and indulge yourself on different products which quite frankly in my mind is completely normal. A hobby or something you indulge yourself in. It’s your money. You can do what you want with it. Thanks so much for sharing
I will say this is the first time I've ever actually enjoyed shaving. Its been a hassle since I first tried to cut down that junior high crustache... Now that I know better I'm enjoying the brush, soap, razor, mixing and matching blades, no way am I ever going back to the Mach 37 with chemical warfare strips or whatever they're pimping out now@@OhioShaves
Right on. I never regret going to DE wet shaving. Have a great week. 👍
You and me both!
I just shaved with a safety razor for the first time 2 days ago. I’m 31 years old. I love it! What sorcery is this?!
Propaganda
Just let a friend borrow my 34C and gave him some blades when I told him how cheap the blades were he was shocked.
That's awesome. I love getting people to switch. Then we have something else to talk about🤣
@@OhioShaves gotta convert them where you can
💯👍
Part of the meaning here is that you can buy a new, although inexpensive, double edge safety razor for the price of some packages of cartridge refills. And then the blades are far less expensive than the cartridges.
You got that right. And you get a better shaving experience.
I made the switch during COVID and it was the best decision. I was still in school and didn't need to go out to buy blades since it would come with a 100 DE blades.
Wish I would've started at your age. It would've saved me a ton of money. Congratulations.
@@OhioShaves but you get to try a bunch of razors and products from companies. Also, the point is that we made the switch. So much money that I would put into cartridges.
I went from disposables (because of military service), after that I used a 34C for years, then moved to 3/8 + 5/8 straights, later weekdays 34C and straights for weekends, then about 15yrs of not shaving. Now I am back to DE (my eyesight is a problem for straights now) and have settled on a Fatip Piccolo OC, a Rockwell 6S and if anything else needs a razor there is a Mühle Companion in reserve.
For blades I have Feather, BIC, Treet Carbons and some mild blades of unknown origin that sit between the Treet and Feathers for sharpness. With those I pretty much have all possibilities covered.
I won't go into soaps, pre-shaves etc. etc.
The reason I returned to DE was that no matter what I tried I kept getting dry flaky skin under the beard in specific places and the only effective treatment for me was a daily close shave.
Right now I probably have enough stuff here to last two years...
That’s great. Thanks for sharing.
I just switched, and I use to cut myself all the time with a cartridge razor. I fell down the rabbit hole and your videos are fantastic. It’s been great so far and fun searching for the perfect razor! Got several good ones ordered, but the wait is the toughest part!
Man, same boat with the recent switch. I didn't cut myself on cartridges but would get irritated skin if the stars weren't lined up. I'm totally looking at all these fancy +$100 razors but resisting until I get my other things dialed in so I appreciate it more. That said my Syntesi Velvet just arrived, can't wait for tomorrow's shave.
What are you waiting on to come in?
You're gonna love that Razor
Bought my Rockwell thanks to you and your content. I couldn't be more pleased!
Great to hear! Thanks for your support
Hi I am from India and this is a big market place in terms of customer base. These MNC are dumping waste here. When I showed to some of my friends how they can save cost. They are moving back to DE
Sorry to hear that but great news. People are switching back. That's so cool thanks for sharing.
Well said David!
Thank you much
I have to admit that I was a little nervous using a DE razor for the first time. But that quickly faded after the 1st shave. I love shaving with a DE razor. The only time I use a cartridge is when I travel with carry on luggage.
It's amazing the fear that everyone has in the beginning.
i recently wasted like $20 on a Fusion 5 and a cartridge pack. Worst investment of my life, the blades go dull after 10 shaves and are mad expensive. Switched to a cheap safety razor and got a set of blades, a single pass is smoother than what 10-20 mins of digging with a cartridge razor would do.
Thanks for sharing that. I totally agree. The cost is astronomical and such a waste of money.
What you want to know about using Gillette Fusion Five cartridges, is clean the heads well after each shave. dry it, and apply a lubricant to the blades. You SHOULD be able to do more than 10 shaves per cartridge, but not too many more. The limit I recorded for my uses was 17 shaves on a cartridge. I no longer prefer to take it that far.
im gonna start my safety razor journey this week! from what i learned from your videos im starting out with the Rockwell T2!!
Great choice. Keep us updated
Please don't forget the huge amount of plastic waste you will prevent when shaving with DE
Just icing on the cake great point
I’m old enough to remember when Gillette introduced the cartridge razor. I can remember watching the first cartridge commercial with my uncle and turned to me and said… Shaving just went to hell! I was just a kid at the time and had no idea what he was talking about. But wow, he knew what he was talking about.
Very wise
"You don't have to go down that rabbit hole..." but you probably will.😃 At the very least you'll enjoy shaving a lot more and that is worth the time spent.
Thanks. Well said😁
Amen to this, I am cutting back in many areas like TV and shaving is one of those areas. Not only am I done with the cartridge scam, I am done with spending ridiculous amounts of money on ANY shaving gear. I probably have enough artisan soaps to last me a lifetime and also blades. For soaps I am just going to use one, good old Stirling Soap Beeswax unscented. It lasts forever, is cheap, has a great lather, and has ZERO scent. I almost regret buying so many soaps now. I'm done.
Right on brother👍
Man, since doing the switch from cartridge razor to shavette and lastly safety razor, there is no way I'll be using a cartridge razor ever again.
Recently, what I do is to shave the best I can with a safety razor then I do final touches with a shavette 🤞
I would love to see you trying the Evok Razor Blades ❤ they are the cheapest I have purchased but feel amazing on the safety razor.
Great tip
@@OhioShaves yeah, I feel like that's the only way for a bbs. The safety razor gives me a close shave but not as close as I want it so the shavette does the final job:-)
I have switched to de shaving a couple of years ago. Every so often I will get irration and an ingrown hair. The only time I will go back to cartridges is if I am traveling. TSA doesn’t allow a carryon bag to have any de razor blade. If I do not check a bag then I’ll switch to cartridge razors for the trip. If I drive or check a bag then they will come with me
👍
Some models of disposables do come with only a single blade. I know of only two examples right now although others exist too. BIC-1, and BIC Metal. These may help in avoiding razor bumps /ingrown hair.
I rise to endorse and associate myself with the remarks of the gentleman from Ohio.
Thanks brother
Even if you hapoen to go down that rabbit hole, you could instead use that money you were going to spend on the plastic garbage and buy razors, soaps, brushes and blades. You'll still get a better shave. Keep spreading the word OHIO SHAVES.
Thanks brother. 💈👍
I was afraid of DE razors forever, though the reason might be understandable. My dad wasn’t around to show me how to use a DE and when I tried one, I cut the crap out of myself and said “eff this” and started using disposable razors. About 5 years ago, I decided to make the switch and haven’t looked back. There was some trial and error mind you, but never watched half my face going down the drain again!😂😂😂 Really grateful to you and others who have helped me refine the process. Thanks!
Awesome experience. Thanks for your support.
I bought my brother a Gillette Slim and my sister a Lady Stsrburst Gillette to get them away from expensive cartridges.
Nice. Are they still using them?
@@OhioShaves yes, they were a great gift choice.
Video seemed to cut off unexpectedly? I have two shaves in with a safety razor and my mind has been so blown. 40yo and feel lied to by the industry!! I never liked cartridges but figured it was the only way to shave aside from a straight blade like the barber uses but didn't want to learn that. Always had issues with irritation until I found the Gillette SkinGuard cartridges which worked well for me the last two years or so but have the same problem of being expensive and just good enough. Felt like after the second shave they were clearly wearing out. If that was the cost so be it but it was not like it was a great experience to begin with, just good enough which was frustrating. Now that the King Gillette razor got me in the door, I cant wait for my Syntesi Velvet to arrive. I am split on what blades to get next. This week I plan on getting the right soap and brush as I have still been using the same Barbasol Original I have been using for years. It reminds me of my grandfather who passed years ago so that part will be a bummer to say bye to. So while I basically stopped shaving regularly some years ago, only using my trimmers to keep things in control, shaving for client facing days, I am excited to now be able to shave 2-3 times a week. My wife loved my shave days too so she will be happy about that as well.
Thanks for sharing
I've had my fusion 5 for over 20 years now. Got it for free in an EBgames, of all places.
They obviously arent the greatest but shaving every 2-3 days, head included, 1 blade lasts over a month.
It's not that bad.
Does it really last you a month or do you stretch it because they are so expensive. I know that's what I used to do. I would suffer through a couple bad shaves before I've replaced the head of the razor.
@@OhioShaves Little bit of both maybe? In the sense that I might be stretching it a little but the moment it really starts to pull on the hair, I switch it. Also, since I shave very often, the hairs are always short, which helps a lot.
Have you tried using a safety razor yet? You would definitely get a better shave at least I do.
@@OhioShaves I havent. I've used straight blade before and it was the closest shaves I've ever gotten, but because I also shave my head, it's not super practical. I should try a safety razor but at the moment, I have like 2 years worth of Fusion 5 blades, so ya...not for now.
That rabbit hole…
💈👍
Well you can spend lots of on de razors shave brushes and the soaps
Not everybody does and you still have a choice
True. You can. How is about $15 for Lil' Brudder, a synthetic bristled brush from Stirling Soaps? You could find cheaper brushes if you look into some of the other online merchants.
Now you've gone and done it...time for me to think about my starting costs:
The first razor I got cost 75
Soap I got (got my Shannons this weekend and used it first today...holy beep is that stuff good), I'd say the average is 15
Blades I like cost 13 for 200 (Treet Platnium is turning into my go to), but say 15 for 100 as an average
Brush - 20-30 bucks
Alum - 12 (think that's the parker price for the big one)
Thayers - 11
Good post shave balm/after shave: 6-10 bucks
My start was 170. I'd say a solid average to get everything to go and last a year probably around 150.
The one thing to consider adding for future videos on the topic, after the first year:
Blades...10-20 dollars depending on use per blade
Soap: 15 maybe 30 bucks if you have use a 2nd soap.
Thayers: 11
Alum Block: 12
48-73 is much less than 150...if you don't dive down the rabbit hole first (good call out on that at the end).
What razor did you go with for your first?
@@OhioShaves It was a Henson AL...my bank nailed me with an outrageous international fee which brought it up to 75.
Not need to spend all that to get started. Just looking at soap and razor, a person could try Pear's Transparent Soap (~ $1.30 from Dollar Tree), and some Van Der Hagen razor (many drug stores, less than $20).
@@10floz30minutesIf I was recommending to a friend I'd recommend a King C Gillette or Parker 78r (The 2nd razor I ever bought) to start. None of the wet shaving products are in the dollar tree here which made it frustrating to hear about them on other channels, going to the local dollar trees and not seeing them there.
Your point is perfectly valid though that one can get a good reliable razor/pack of blades/dependable soap/brush/alum for shave feedback and be at the cost I spend on the Henson.
@@10floz30minutesApologies if this comment duplicates, tried replying in my notifications and not sure it took.
If I was to recommend to a friend a razor to start it'd either be the King C Gillette or Parker 78R (the 2nd razor I bought and is the one in my travel kit). I've checked the dollar trees around me and none of them have the wet shaving products mentioned on the various channels.
Your point is perfectly valid that for the cost I paid for the Henson one could get a razor/blades/soap/brush/alum and be set for a long time. While I get some of those aren't necessary that's what I recommend to the friends who ask me.
Well…..you don’t have to buy more 😂😂😂
Most of us safety razor folks spend more than I would have staying with Harry’s! And I never had razor burn. So I don’t think you can generalize this.
Everyone is different. How many Razors do you own?
@@OhioShaves I own 6 razors now. But 80 sets of soap 🤣
I think though your video was just a little one sided 😉🤣
@@eggmaneggman9966 the expression of and support for, the other side depends on each person. Many individual differences. Many individual reactions to classes of products.
Rabbit hole@@eggmaneggman9966
I use Gillette razors to shave my armpits 😂
Great
I did the same thing at first. But then I've bought a separate DE razor for armpits(Gillette King C for like 11$ with a good discount). Now issues with occasional irritation and ingrown hairs are gone.
4:08 That's a very good point to tell younger guys to shave better and cheaper 🪒💈
Thanks. Glad you liked it
