    A nice cut on the first try is like a badge of honour. Really easy to underestimate the "apply very little pressure" statement.

    Great video. One thing I have learned In the last week of shaving with this product (just got it last Thursday) is I’m slooooow. My beard isn’t all that thick and my skin is 50 years old. One good trick I learned is heat one side of your face and shave it then heat the other side of your face and shave it. I’m sure I’ll get faster but for now I’m taking my time and by the time I get to the other side the skin is cold. Cold vs hot skin is a game changer you don’t want. This along with this dudes videos make my beard look pretty sharp. Thanks for the great videos.

    I go to the barbershop and he is like master . I feel he uses the sharpness of the blade to do the job very little pressure and he never cuts my skin , it is a talent that some people do have more than the others.

      You gotta remember barbers do this as a job. Doing it so many times to other people (and probably themselves) they would have to be a master at it.

    I barely started with the safety razor. Same angle, and skin tug. Obviously different grip. Cut myself something fierce multiple times on the second time i used it, and almost threw in the towel. I hope to get to a straight edge one day, but i wanna master the SR first. Good video tips, only hot water dries the skin and robs our natural skin oils, warm water seems better for me.

  • @jamal69jackson77

    I got me a couple of nice straight razors, some pre shave oils, some shave creams, some shave soaps and some aftershave products and tried using a straight razor for the first time today and I definitely realized that there is a very clear learning curve to be tackled with this type of shaving. The process of how straight razor shaving is successfully accomplished seems very straightforward and like a very simple, common sense process to me... but even so, it is not something that I think most people will get right on the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd try and I definitely did quite a poor job on this, my first try. I can see that getting to a point where you can perform the entire process correctly, that being the angle, the grip, the amount of pressure and all the other more subtle nuisances and doing them comfortably and confidently will take a little practice... at least I didn't cut myself... this time 😶‍🌫️

    @MdTausif1978 Před rokem +3

    I have some questions??? Pls answer me
    I use shavette straight razor, and I always maintain my extended goatee. But I have seen many times that many people who prefer clean shave, they shave for 2 times like first they shave and wash their face and again shave their beard even though they have already become cleanly shaven after the first shave...is it necessary to shave for two times or one-time shaving is enough for a clean shave?
    another question is I use to shave 2 days a week to maintain my goatee, but I have seen that my razor blade does not cut properly when I use that blade after 2 days using even though I take proper care of the razor blade....does the razor blade become blunt after using 2 days of shaving or I can use it more than 2 days? because I have read on the internet that a razor blade can give you at least 5 to 7 shaves.

    • @ezbladeshavingproducts
      @ezbladeshavingproducts  Před rokem +1

      Sure. So some people shave twice once going with the grain. The other against the grain. That’s the reasons for the 2 shaves. As for using the blade 2 times that fine. If you where shaving someone you would have to change it. But your shaving yourself. As long as the blade is not pulling your good to go.

    i personally think straight razor is not a good option when using on oneself becoz of risks involved ,i did buy 15 years ago and tried my underarms and pubs after i felt i cant use on face and i feel it is best in barbers hand secondly it is best and nothing beats due to it but u cannot use on underarms and pubs and i think t shaped r good but their design prevents to cut easily maybe they have shield in front of them unlike straight razor .if this t shaped r made with a design of straight razor to place half blades like its done in straight razor then it will be very best .i hope u understood my point.

    Haha first time I used one of these things I cut myself. I was getting a way closer shave with disposable razors (but was sick of buying new ones all the time).
    Can these things get a completely smooth shave or not?
    Also I found the blade kinda big cus I don't shave all the hair off, I like to shape it and yeah... the blade size makes that difficult.

      @ezbladeshavingproducts  Před 7 měsíci +1

      I wouldn’t say that. You apply shave gel in the area in need of the shave. Wipe you hand with a towel. Stretch the skin on the non facial hair area. Thanks for watching
