Hey geofatboy , this might be lame, but I wanted to say 15 years ago, you taught me how to shave. I’m 29 years old now (military veteran) with a great career working for the SDA. In some way you were part of that.
Geo, I saw the video posted about six years ago about you're life. It's very motivațional so maybe you will do another video as many probably don't know you're life story. Why geofatboy, how everything started. You're an amazing person
Every man needs to see this video. Too many people these days don't even know what a safety razor is, let alone a straight razor. Also, I like what you did with the cameras!
I have learned a lot from watching your videos. I have been wet shaving for about 10 years and enjoy every single shave. I actually head and face shave at the same time and take about 25 minutes. It is fantastic to have some quality time to enjoy something so therapeutic. I love the Proraso pre-post shave cream and TOBS Sandalwood is also one of my favourite creams. I have some modern razors but love the older Gillette short and new long combs and single edge Gem style razors.
I've been a follower forever, so glad I stumbled upon your channel, I live in Europe but my first ever shaving supplies order was from Shavenation. Huge thanks to Geo and his team for making such awesome content. Have a great shave have a great day! 😎
Hi Geofatboy, this is almost exactly the same as the one I ordered. But Taylor and the Alum Bloc did not deliver. Thanks for the great video. You are number one.
Good day to you from across the pond, Geo! I used to have a real issue with daily shaving because I have the "jackpot" combination of very sensitive skin and very tough facial hair. Tried everything from various kinds of cartridge and electric razors, and at some point got the idea to try a DE razor from one of your videos, which mostly solved the problem for me - with a DE I can be clean-shaven more or less always, and not have an irritated mess for a face. So thanks a lot for the wisdom, much appreciated!
Hi Geo. Great shaving refresher video. Reference the aerator on the faucet head, hard water deposits on my aerator get built up on the screen so occasionally I soak the aerator head in clear vinegar overnight that makes it like new. Same theory on my shower head....need to soak it in clear vinegar to resolve the hard water deposits.
love the videos, you taught me the right way to get my shave on. The wife thinks I'm crazy, but I gotta have my "Zen moment" > your service and knowledge base cant be beat. Congrats on 14 years
Great video Geo. Liked the split screen. Your videos like this are what got me started in wet shaving. Thanks for all the work you do with the videos and have a great weekend. 👍
Great vid, especially with a 14 year old 34 razor that is in great shape. Split screen good, as is an uncut version. Feather blade and other items, a good combo. Cheers, John
Great video! Should be watched by all new shavers. Heck, I’ve been a wet shaver now for four years and even I got something out of it. My next step is to get that razor. I’ve always wanted one but wondered it was too mild.
Great video and congratulations to your anniversary!! Love your videos. Using the Merkur Futur and still cut myself when shaving the mustache and the chin. Started about 4 weeks ago
The 34c is outstanding. I lost mine. But yeah once you get used to shaving with DE it’s hard to go back to carts. The head of king c Gillette safety razor is an exact clone of the 34c
Hey, Geo, I restarted wet shaving with DE razors after watching your videos and that is around 10 years ago and love it,my daily go to razor is 37C and not aggressive for me just two passes ie with and across the grain and that too 5 days in a week, you are my source of inspiration 🙏🙏🙏
Nice uncut shaving video format! I'm with you on applying the balm first and the splash second. I find that the scent lasts longer. You are the shaving Zen Master!
Well done Geo👍 Yep, nice touch the split screen, worked perfect. You've been doing this as long as anybody I know, thanks for the continued content. Great video and results as always, thanks.
The 34C was my first DE razor until it started to disintegrate. Now I use mostly a Rockwell 6S on weekdays along with a Muhle R41 (with a spare R89 head that rarely gets used) at weekends. For variety I have a 1966 Gillette Tech, a Fatip Piccolo OC and a Fatip hybrid (L'ibrido?).
i like it. as well that there r no out-takes. nice routine. started real wet shaving around 2 months ago after 2 weeks with the wilkinson classic for 9€ nxt to the cashier. i ordered the feather as-d2 and i love it. step by step i m getting deeper and deeper into it.
Geo-Fantastic. Your honest and straight forward advice that we can use whatever combination we want is refreshing. So many demand that you have to use certain combinations. "My den, my choice" is a great mantra. Thank you Geo.
I have the same issue with scars. I struggle with several skin grafts on my face because the hair grows in same direction as it grew on the donor area. I think you can guess where the donor area is. Sometimes it takes 5-6 passes from every possible angle to remove that.
I agree with the pinned comment! I have my newly turned 6 year old grandson whipping up lathers, applying it to me and him and wearing aftershave 😂 Love the new camera angles, really gives it something extra! Any chance you can get that shirt in a 3xl?
I wonder, is there any product on the market designed to support the shaving process but for internal use? If not, I guess it will be available soon after my words about it, Why so? Several years ago I mentioned on the Internet that buying shampoo for a wristwatch would be nice, and it showed up!
You really let your Boar brush sink into the water for a couple of seconds. I usually let them soak up at least for 2-3 minutes. I imagine the brush to feel very stingy when lathering up. Or is the Brush already that much broken in that the bristles got softer (like hair spliss, which is typical for older Boar Brushes)?
Geo, question. I've had a Merkur 34C for some time now, and I really want to like it, really bad. You've done so many videos with it and you brag on it all the time, but, I haven't had a GOOD shave with it yet. After 500 passes and every different blade you can think of, my face is half raw, and I still feel like I need to shave when I'm done. I have in the neighborhood of 75 razors, and no other one, that I use, is like this. Is it my razor or is it me? Have you heard of this before? Am I holding my mouth wrong? Is my tongue on the wrong side? It seems to be beyond mild. I really don't want to HAVE to shim it, or something, I want it to just work. Did I get a bad one?
This video should be played in every school in America, young men need these tips 🙏
Not just in America - I'm pretty sure Geo has viewers from all over the world :)
Yes, you are right! But in the System Mr. Profit rules.
14 years ago when your main
occupation as electrician was
not doing well you took the
right choice that would change
your life. Well done Geo 👍.
Geo is the Man, every purchase with shave nation is a smooth transaction and positive experience!!!

Thanks for all your contributions to the wet shaving community! I’ve learned a ton and now you’re my go to for supplies.

Almost 100k subs keep it up 😉
Where is the "clearing the runways" sound?
As always, fun to watch!
👍🙂

The multiple camera angles is very helpful

Thanks for all the great shaving info over the years, Geo!😊👍
Feliz aniversario y desearte que sean muchos más. La 34c es una de mis máquinas favoritas. Un fuerte abrazo

My very first "pro" set was actually the other way around - the Proraso red pre and the green soap/cream for the shave. It worked nicely as a combo! 😁

Nice one Geo and congrats on 14 years.😊👍
Still love ya videos ever since day 1. Awesome man
I just bought the Merkur 34c, been using Gillette carts my whole life, been enjoying shaving my face quite a bit with my new purchase LOL
...the best way to celebrate an anniversary...and years of quality shaving 👍👍👍

Great videos, great attitude! Have a great shave, have a great day Geo, and thank you for getting me to go the traditional shave!
13:05 thanks for adressing this I was struggling with it in the main video
Do you have tips on chin stubles? Thats now my new weakness
I've learned so much from you Geo! And have tried and liked a lot of products! Keep up your great work!
Thank you, sir!
I am not a fan of shaving, but I get pleasure from watching your videos.
Great vid, especially with a 14 year old 34 razor that is in great shape. Split screen good, as is an uncut version.
Feather blade and other items, a good combo.
Cheers, John
I love the uncut Geo!

Que buena afeitada. Muy buen canal, contenido de calidad. Y la Merkur 34c es una maravilla 🤘
Hey man. Thanks for the content over the years
Thanks mate
Nice Anniversary video, Mr. Geo! I love the new camera angles and Geo uncut! Well done!
Been watching your videos from the start and you do a great job geo.
34c boar brush feather blade nothing fancy or expensive but one of the best shaving combos 👏🏼
Thanks for all the great shaving advice. Are there any plans to get more of the merkure progress knobs in stock?
Thanks for sharing Geo! You're the man, your lather making video with proraso helped me get into wet shaving
Love the uncut video and camera angles Geo. Please do more in this style! 🙏
It’s the first time I have caught myself doing all the face motions and stretches as he was shaving.
Hey Geo! Love the new camera angles. Happy shaving my friend!
Great video and shave. I like the “uncut” format, especially the additional camera angles.
Nice uncut shaving video format! I'm with you on applying the balm first and the splash second. I find that the scent lasts longer. You are the shaving Zen Master!
Like the new camera angles Geo! Top man👊
Well done Geo👍 Yep, nice touch the split screen, worked perfect. You've been doing this as long as anybody I know, thanks for the continued content. Great video and results as always, thanks.
Thanks
Hey Geo, awesome video as always. I like the new way you did the video. Thanks for sharing and making your videos. They are very helpful.
Great video Geo ! I like this uncut version because it looks natural and more real. Greetings from Greece. Have a great shave have a greate day !!
Great shave Geo! Like the split screen technique:)

I've heard it said this way, too. "Your Shave, Your Rules" on Mark Szorady's channel.
I have the same issue with scars. I struggle with several skin grafts on my face because the hair grows in same direction as it grew on the donor area. I think you can guess where the donor area is. Sometimes it takes 5-6 passes from every possible angle to remove that.

.... unless you want to look like a caveman which I'm sure you don't 😂. Thanks for the great updated video and awesome shaving tips!
14 years of Geo Fatboy!

😢 No sound effects when clearing the runways?
Hi George phaos
If you had to choose one razor what would you choose the Merkur HD 34c or the EJ DE89
Im looking to start using a safety razor. I want a very close shave. I have a pretty coarse beard. What would you recommend? I was thinking the 38C.
👍
Are you watching the Cricket World Cup match
I never used a preshave, should I?
Geo, question. I've had a Merkur 34C for some time now, and I really want to like it, really bad.

❤ this video. Very nicely explained. Educative for beginners. But water could have been saved a lot, a scarce resource..
Why is it called "Uncut" when you are teaching us how to shave? Shouldn't it be "cut" version? 😅
No 🤦
@@aruvaboy1736 But the video is about cutting hair aha
You are one of the oldest active youtubers!
Nice, but living in California, it would be helpful to shave without wasting 20 gallons of water :-)
Its hard to find proraso in EU.
