This guy makes it so easy to lose track of time with how enjoyable these videos are keep it up!
Thanks for that!
100% agree a topic I don’t even particularly care about, a very interesting speaker
Indeed! Calming low voice, relaxing atmosphere, and a great speaker as well! Very chill vibes, man! 😅😁😎👍🏻
VP, DL or TL for corporate sectors for sure. Very professional, fun and friendly! Agreed
He is a voice actor after all.
Why is this so calming and entertaining. This guy has A+ charisma
You’re too kind!
"The way your grandpa did." My grandpa worked for Philips. So he and my father shaved with an electric razor. And so did I for 30 years. I started shaving with a safety razor 4 years ago. I discovered it by accident. When I found an antique safety razor on an antique market. And started some online searching to find some information about safety razors. To my huge surprise I found out that it was still possible to get blades for my century old razor. And that they are even still made today. I started collecting vintage safety razor's and shaving every second day with a modern one. (My first one was a Merkur Classic 1904. Now I use a Rex Ambassador.) I never though that one day I would look forward to my next shave. Instead of just something that needs to be done.
me too man love my safety razor
Never thought I'd find a short story about shaving so intriguing. Welcome to the new old world
I could never shave with an electric razor it burned the face of me and never gave a close shave.
Started shaving with an old safety razor of my father's about 2 weeks ago and won't go back to to the catrage razor not that there was anything wrong with it but it's much easier to get a close shave with a safety razor.
@@Minime163Electric shaver gives close shave if u push it hard
@@Minime163I cant get babyface shave even if I use safety razor because my beard is very hard. I only get close shave if I go against the grain which gives me razor burns as I have sensitive skin
I'm an ancient Gen Xer and only discovered wet shaving in the mid 2000s. I remember in college, in the 1980s, I was shaving in the dorm bathroom with a Gillette Trac II razor, which was the only razor I'd ever used, and I saw a guy using a DE razor. I kidded him about using an "old man's razor," and he said something like, "It shaves better than what you're using." It took twenty years after that for me to realize he was right. 🙂
My father shaving with the safety razor was the first shaving I ever seen but he started shaving with the catrage razor in the mid 70's and so the safety razor ended up in the back of the drawer until I started shaving with it 2 weeks ago.
I actually started shaving with an electric razor at 15 but before i was 16 had switched to the catrage razor but i wish I'd chosen the safety razor first now that I've started shaving with it. Its actually older than me so it could be anything up to seventy years old its definitely over sixty.
23 years old never used a safety razor, kinda nervous but you make it seem easy enough
20 year old here who just discovered safety razors exist and despite having not a lot of facial hair, I found buzzers to not shave close enough and many razors to snag. Thanks for the amazing tutorial and convincing me not to invest in unnecessarily expensive products. I'll edit once I buy a razor and try it out!
I haven't quite been taught good habits with shaving, or self-care in general, so I've been trying to learn more and more over time.
The title of this video was perfect for me, honestly. I've been quite afraid of shaving with a safety razor, for my own particular reasons.
This video is very helpful for me - thank you very much, sir. I find you incredibly kind and nice to listen to.
I don’t know why, but the simple way you talk about shaving coupled with the personal feel of the shot you use and the sound of your voice is so satisfying. Definitely a great podcaster voice. Anyway, safety razed noob here at 42 years old. Always either had a beard or shaved with cartridge razors. Have a Manscaped Plow 2.0 that was given to me and I definitely seem to “plow” my face with it. Was going to give it up until I started watching your vids.
My father shaved with a safety razor for years, but he switched to a cartridge before I started shaving. I got tired of over paying for triple bladed cartridges about 7 years ago and bought a German made razor, bowl and soap and never looked back. I also use a barber style straight razor when I have gone a few days without shaving. I wish I had seen a video like this when I first started with a safety razor.
I only started shaving with a safety razor about 2 weeks ago and bought a Barbour's straight razor and am going to start with it when my safety blade gets blunt and alternate between both as the blades get blunt.
@@Minime163 I suggest you buy a variety pack of blades so you can try different ones and find what works best for you and your razor. I am not shilling for a certain company but I do know that west coast shaving sells variety packs of blades, but even their largest pack by no means has samples of all the choices available.
@@harpintnI'm from Ireland so we don't get American products here but wilkinsonsword blades are perfect with both safety razor and cut throath I got derby blades for the cut throath but they wouldn't cut butter so i went back to the Wilkinsonsword much better but the blade does get blunt quicker than with the safety razor but my second shave was still much better than my first shave with the derby blade.
I got a pack of 100 for €95 great value and 200ml of Nivea sensitive shaving cream for €5.40
@@Minime163 The blades I am currently using were made in Russia by Gillette (I bought them years ago) I have seen German and Turkish made blades as well. I used some disposable Wilkerson Sword razors once, right before I switched to the safety razor. They were decent razors.
@@Minime163 You'll find real straight razors shave much better with lower chance of nicks and cuts than the modern day Shavette style imitation that you are using. The downside is you need to learn how to strop and maybe also sharpen it too which also adds on the cost of stones and strops. Once you have those then nothing is cheaper or more comfortable in the long run, never buy a blade again in your life. I used two straights (a 4/8 Schulze and a 5/8 Dovo) for years especially at weekends but now my eyesight is not up to it anymore due to a combination of short sightedness and old age meaning needin different glasses for different distances...
Great video! Just started with DS shaving a year ago with the Henson set up. You are so on point! There is a learning curve, so mastering traditional shaving takes some time and practice, but so incredibly rewarding. My shaves have been BBS and the daily experience is so wonderful that I look forward to shaving every morning; this simply puts the pleasure back into shaving. Beginners do not be intimidated. You will save a fortune over time and truly enjoy shaving again and have fun trying different products. I only wish I had discovered this retro approach sooner. 64 now, but so glad I have dumped the cartridges. Better late than never! -EA
Loving how real you are, just straight up genuine. Keep up the good work bro! I found your channel because I was researching more about razors. Can’t spend 20+ dollars on cartridges so I’m looking at safety razors. Thanks for this video!!
Glad you found my channel! Welcome.
Can't believe this man have kept my attention all video long without needs of flashing effects or images, just his face and voice.
I like to keep it simple!
I got safety razor as a gift from a friend, who hyped a lot about it. Now im figuring it out myself. This tutorial helped a lot and now im finding myself enjoying shaving a lot more! Must say i have lot to learn, but now when i know the basics i can find the rhythm more quickly. Thank you for fine tutorial! Also it was enjoying to watch! Never thought i would enjoy watching someone shave. :D
The longer you shave with your safety razor, the better you’ll get. You’re ahead of the game already!
Great vid for someone that is just getting started. Actually reminds me of when I started shaving back in the early 70s...have a good weekend Brian!
So pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable you made this - thank you!
I’ve been kicking around the idea of going from cassettes to safety razors. I really appreciate this video using simple terms!!
You'll never go back once you start ...
Safety is far cheaper, reduces cuts and produces a better shave.
You're awesome man! Bald young guy here who has gotten used to shaving my head with a razor and after years of Gillette blades wanted to make the same adjustment for shaving my face. So nice to hear some insight from somebody who's been around the block and I scooped up my Van Der Hagen safety razor ready to figure out if its for me, thank you!
I love your stance on shaving cream for a safety razor, a lot of purists will turn people away by telling them they have to do the whole brush and soap thing or somehow it’s magically not gonna work right. I was avoiding using DE razors for a while because of that but at the end of the day shaving cream is shaving cream and if it works for 5 or 6 blades being dragged across your skin then surely it’d plenty for a single blade to glide its way around! Love the vids!
Exactly! I want more people to use safety razors, not less. I always say that you should use what works best for you regardless of what other people say or think.
Same here. I never considered going into this type of shaving because decent quality brushes and soaps cost me more than the razor and blades themselves. Thankfully I've found this channel and I'm on my way to buy my first safety razor, probably king c gillette. I don't really want to make this my hobby right now. I just want a good shave that's inexpensive in the long run.
@@projectx5154 Right on I bought myself and my brother a king C Gillette razor for Christmas I haven’t heard what he thinks yet but I’ve used it a couple times and I find it’s a pretty good shave for the money.
@SinatraLennon absolutely
Im just getting into it and personally im just gonna get a decent badger brush for around $35, and a parker razor around $30, try out the full package yknow?
I love the whole ritual of lathering shaving soap and it gives a great shave and no irritation.
I have a jar of Taylor's of bond street sandlewood shaving cream that I got last week and I can't wait to try it, and I guarantee I won't be going back to either catrage razor or shaving gel or foam
What a great video, and some brilliant commentary. I have only ever used electric blades, but I'm quite tired of the lacklustre results, so I'm thinking I'll definitely try to make the shift over to a safety razor.
Great video on starting out. There are more and more people going to wet shaving now. And these videos are great.
One year of using a safety razor and I do not regret my decision for a moment it is just so nice to have a care ritual, it is just a pause in a part of the day in wich I have some peace and thinking time while I listen to mister Sinatra Lennon in the background!
Amazing video enjoyed every bit of it, so fun and informative about safety razors. Keep posting these lovely videos.
Thankfully my dad taught me how to shave with a safety razor about 5 years ago when I was 15 so I basically started shaving with safety razors, only used a cartridge razor for about a year before I learned which is when I started growing hair on my face.
Nice video. And you are right. Until a wet shaver goes down the rabbit hole, the expense can be minimal. Barbasol and similar shaving creams work just fine. I still think the Rockwell 6C is the best DE safety razor for a newbie.
Awesome content.Found your channel a couple weeks ago. Always used cartridge and always got razor bumps. Didn't feel like getting a waiver. Made the switch to a safety razor and I'm never going back.
Sinatra very nice explanatory video for beginners. That shows your experience in this area. I can only say that if I hadn't started a year ago, I definitely would now. Have a nice weekend.
Thanks. Finally a man that gets down to the point, didn’t overwhelm me with tons of product and didn’t make me feel like if I didn’t buy a bunch of upscale stuff, I wouldn’t be able to get a decent shave from a double edge razor. Thanks for taking the time to make a quality video 👍I feel confident I’ll be successful in this journey.
That’s exactly why I made this, and how I like to conduct myself on all my other videos. Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to thank you for the lesson and the chat
Great vid
Thank you for this super helpful video. And as one other comment mentioned, it's a pleasure to listen to you talk. It's rare for someone to talk a lot and not annoy me lol.
Just started using a safety razor. Wish I would of seen this video before hand lol. I did buy a cheap safety razor to start. But then I thought I need all of the expensive stuff like brushes etc. Glad I didn’t jump down that rabbit hole yet. Although the first time I used it, I sliced my neck open 😂. But I do love the smoother feeling with the safety razor versus the cartridge razors. Just got to learn how to get a smooth shave with them. Still have a little stubble left after two passes.
This video right here is what pushed me the last little bit into trying a safety razor. Now shaving is fun.
Without doubt my favorite shaver on YT.
Hey, that’s great! It’s still crazy to me that such a simple change in tools can make all the difference.
It’s so funny that i find myself watching you “yapping” about shaving for beginner.
Even though I’m wet shaver over six years.
I love your channel and most important, your unpretentious attitude on all of your reviews & videos.
Great vid Mr. Lennon!
Good info. Due to your vids, I finally tried Barbasol (for sensitive skin). I had tried different soaps, gels, oil...turns out Barbasol works best for me. $2 well spent!
Great!
Great video! I started with a 5 blade dollar shave club razor but after around a month of that I got a safety razor and it’s amazing!
About two years in and I still need to remind myself to keep the pressure minimal and let razor and blade do the work. At first I think the pressure came from cartridge shaving habits but now it tends to be when i “get greedy” on trying to get BBS too quickly or overshaving to get every last whisker.
Young adult here and this is definitely a helpful video. Thank you for making it as simple as it is and showing that you don't have to fear shaving but instead make it fun and enjoyable :)
My pleasure!
just got my first Safety Razor yesterday! Thanks for your help so far, though i am still figuring it out.
Enjoy the journey ! I started about 6-7 months ago and I love it.
You gotta get a hot water shaving scuttle. Hot foam on the face during your shave is such a luxurious feel. Totally worth it. I got a ceramic one from Q-Shave that was cheap. There's other versions like stainless steel. You won't regret the purchase. Happy Shaving :)
I dumped all my 12 DE razors after going back to Carts (mach3 and Hydro3) with my newfound technique which I learned from using DE razors for 5+ years. I find that carts give me a better shave compared to DE shaving. For a closer, more comfortable, and quicker shave a cartridge razor is the way to go.🙂
Thank you. This actually helps me. Great content as well. Subbed
great tips for the beginners out there.
Thank you for being so down to earth! I’m going to order one of these tomorrow and try a straight razor shave for the first time - always used electric as the cartridge razors give me razor burn due to my thick facial hair! The fact you’ve been so down to earth and informative has given me the confidence to try it out! I love your positive and fatherly attitude✨
It was the other way round with me electric razors gave me razor burn.
@@Minime163 I always had the worst experiences with the rotary Phillips type shavers, on my cheeks and chin they were really good but they ALWAYS butchered my neck no matter what I tried. I can use foil shavers but only wet with a good shave soap at which point I might as well just use a safety razor anyway.
Yes sir..This is how I started..great video.
Unbelievable energy, I had to sub. God bless you
Thanks and welcome!
2 years since I had the luck to find your video for beginners with DE safety razor (one of them). Never went back to cartridge again.
Same here brothah. SinatraLennon was my sensei of DE Shaving.
Same
+1
very informative video. keep up the good work
Great video , remember to say there are milder blades out there and very cheap DE razors for in my opinion a beginner is Wilkinson Sword classic the black handel i started with that one still use it . stay safe, cheers...Peter
"Wilkinson Sword classic" I was going to suggest this. Cheap, so low investment. Mild, so beginner friendly. Even if you get a full metal razor later, you can always use it as a travel razor and it's no big deal if you forget it in a hotel bathroom somewhere.
I changed to safety razor five years ago and never looked back. I'm using a Razor Rock german 36 slant and I'm pretty happy with it.
Great video for newbies.
I've been on and off with DE razors for a while now. One of my biggest turnoffs was everyone saying to use a brush. It felt like a chore to me. I love that you keep it simple with Barbasol.
I was annoyed by brushes at first, too! I’ve come to enjoy them when I’m
In the mood.
I actually kind of enjoy the brush, but yeah Barbasol works just fine (preferably with a preshave or at least wet your face first.)
But plain works just as well as long as your skin doesn't need that extra moisture. So as always YMMV
I like the brush but some of them cost a fortune I remember my father used get a great lather with an ordanry bar of soap with a shaving brush.
It is not much of a chore to just apply a lather with a brush and it rubs it into the skin properly but at the end it is all about personal choice. I find it far more messy to apply lather by hand.
@@Minime163 I have an expensive Badger brush and some medium price synthetics but the brushes I use most are cheap Omega Boar brushes AND I have sensitive skin on my neck. Once a Boar brush is "broken in" I find them much better than expensive Badger or plasticky synthetics.
Great video, man💪
Good video, smiled all the way through it lol, I'll consider shaving with one of those, as I normally use cartridge razors
That was really easy to understand I wish my father taught me more about this stuff
This guy is legit. Thank you.
Now I know how my grandfather used to shave so fast and clean without cuts.
Safety razor in his tiny steel box kit. He was bit nut case but very disciplined. Gifted him Gillette Mach 5 stick and cartridges he didn't even opened it but kept it nicely lol.
Old retired man of British East Indian army.
Great video!
Great video!😂🪒
Great job, just the facts!
I just started looking into the whole wet shave thing. My uncle used an old Gillette in the 70's(probably before that), I remember opening it up and closing it. He used a brush and Barbasol shaving cream. My dad always used an electric razor, and I started electric and went to the old shick cartridge razors. I ordered up a King C Gillette, brush and cup from Van Der Hagen. First shave wasn't great, didn't seem to cut close at all. Figured I'd try again, maybe there is a learning curve. Looked at the razor and found out I had it put together wrong. Can't wait to try again later and see how it really does! Thanks for the video's!
Electric razors are hand when you are on the move and just want a quick clean up.
Thank you Great tutorial
I'm gonna be graduating on june 5th, I know that I will be looking smooth if I use a safety razor, thanks for the great videos. P.S I'm still using my van der Hagen, with astra blades, and barbasol or gillette, it makes it amazing
I just bought my first safety razor which just happened to be a Van Der Hagen and I always loved Barbasol original
love this guy!
Switched to a safety razor 10 years ago and will never ever go back to cartridge or disposable razors.
It helps that it takes me like 4 years to go through a pack of 100 blades which is so much cheaper than buying replacement razor cartridges that it's not even in the same universe.
I have 900 blades in the bathroom and 2kg of soap in the freezer...
I have a feeling these types of razors are going to be used alot with coming worldwide economic recession/depression. Thanks for the helpful video!
Thanks man, I'm just starting and I need something like this to help me out.
Glad I could help
I just got the Van Der Hagen at Walmart as my first double edge safety razor and it's a great razor for the price. I did however cut myself quite a bit but it's not terrible and I'll get better at it 😅
I use a Parker 3 piece razor, Astra SP blades, and Barbasol. Works great as long as I dont go against the grain on the first pass.
I’m a newbie! Thanks for the video
Welcome!
I enjoy watching your videos man best charisma
imma be honest i shave with safety razors since the beginning. im gen z (2008) and started shaving with the age of 14 and i love these safety razors. i never used these modern ones with multiple blades on my beard and for everybody who wants to start with these safety razors:
yes you may cut yourself but thats just the beginning. you will get used to it and stop cutting yourself.
Fantastic content, thank you!
Thank you
Hello from Ukraine, as a young man I’m glad I found this video! I will try to find some safety razor and give it a try! Catrige razor always so painful to me :(
Love your videos! I didn’t have a great relationship with my dad for a long time so you actually taught me how to shave.
I’m just having a little trouble as I use a Wilkinson safety razor and follow your prep steps and try to match your technique. However I find myself with constant cuts, razor bumps, and really a not very close shave. Just wondering if you have any ideas for how I can fix it, thank you!
You might want to try different blades as they can make a huge difference. Some blades just don't work well in some razors yet perform amazingly in others. My aggressive R41 works well with the fearsomely sharp Feather blades, I have never had a nick, cut or irritation from it. My Rockwell 6S (with plate 6) with a medium sharp Treet Platinum blade delivers almost the same result. My Fatip Piccolo open comb and a super mild blade such as the Tree Black Beauty for example can also deliver excellent results despite that blade commonly being described as one of the most "blunt" blades you can buy. My allround general purpose blade however is the BIC chrome platinum, it is as sharp as the Feather but smoother and cheaper too. The only blade I've had no luck with yet are the Treet Dura Sharps which are good in my Muhle Companion but terrible in everything else.
Don’t apologize lol. I enjoyed the video even though I have a few years of experience under my belt. Btw Kensurfs just did his 800th video and I was wondering if you know how many videos you’ve done in 11 years? I’m a bit of a numbers geek and would love to know if it’s not too much of a bother
With that voice, you should be an actor...Great videos
I love your videos! I'm ready to buy a safety razor!
Go for it and let me know how it works out for you!
I’m so happy you said vander jag hen I just got one today and wa alike crap please don’t say it’s crap lol thanks for the video I just started today but have always wanted to shave this way
Just shaved with a safety razor for the first time today. Went well, just need to save money on a long run from those cartridge razors, just used a mild blade Dorco razors for my safety razor.
Hello buddy great video i enjoy it very much i hope you have a great weekend ahead cheers 🥃
thanks. this is like the talk from my dad thank i never got
Subscribed! ❤
Thanks for a Great Video! I Am that "Newcomer" and I appreciate the simple, straightforward presentation.
SO can I bug you for some free advice???
I'm 60, and I've used cheap cartridge razors - well, forever.
Typically, I shave before I shower, and I just use just cold water. And I tend to use the razors way too long. I'll sometimes have just a tiny spotting of blood, but I wash in the shower and its never an issue.
But I got a "wild hair" and just bought an old Gillette Tech razor on eBay.
AND I'm asking here because you are the first one I've seen that's not doing an elaborate "Ceremony" - NOT that there's anything wrong with that! Maybe I'll feel differently once I start using my new-old razor.
But what blades would you recommend for a Beginner?
Is it really necessary to shower first? As I said, I shower second to avoid getting any blood on my shirts.
Crazy to try without lather? Is oil enough? I see some people put oil AND lather?
Thanks!
Even if you don’t shower before you shave, make sure that you run some warm water across your beard stubble just to soften it up a little bit. As far as what blades you should use in that safety razor, I always use feather blades, but I also recommend BIC or even the ones you find down at your local Walgreens or CVS. Good luck and let me know how it goes! Don’t press hard and take your time.
I am Fairley new to safety razor shaving and found your channel and like your content. In my searching of videos i found that not many people talked about what they do with used blades (how to to store them/get rid of them etc) and also what the printed 12 34 means on blades. If you are looking for content i think it would be interesting if you brought these subjects up in one of your chats/videos.
Thanks and welcome!
the numbers and letters on the blades are used in the manufacturers quality control process and have no relevance outside of that. I store blades in a little glass jar where I superglued the lid on and cut a narrow slot in it just big enough to drop the blades through. When it's full it goes to recycling.
Great video for helping beginners but still entertaining for those who have watched awhile. I love a really cold splash of water on my face after a shave. Feels wonderful. Yes a safety razor mows through 5 days growth like a hot knife through butter with no tugging if you happen to read this and can’t decide whether to make the switch.
I really like your shave etc. videos. Quick question: in one of your videos, you showed a brush that I think you called your old standby, and I think you called it SilverTip synthetic. I want to purchase it. It had a black handle, but I can't find that video again. What is it and do you recommend it for someone new to wet DE shaving? Thanks.
I can't believe how I'm not bleeding.
Thank you so much❤
I'm glad!
PS I tried the Captain’s Choice-just spectacular!!!
Great video! Traditional wet shaving is the way to go (and of course don't forget to take a shower and do your hair).
Could you do a review on the Feather Popular budget safety razor?
For me shaving with a safety razor takes more time than with a cartridge razor. A safety razor is a lot cheaper though than a mach3 cartridge. When i'm in a hurry i use a cartridge razor but usually when i have time i use a safety razor for the first 2 passes (shaving with and across the grain) and combine that with a cartridge razor for the third pass (shaving against the grain) for that smooth finish. That way the cartridge razor lasts a lot longer and i can save some money.
I've even used coconut oil instead of shaving cream, it provides adequate lubrication and keeps your skin moisturized.
Hi guys just done my 1st safety razor shave today 😎 Take a look
Safety razors are actually pretty easy and simple. I got one little cut on first try and none after that. Been using it for a while and I love it. Shaving is finally fun.
I love shavettes. The have all benefits from DEs and Straight Razors. They require skills like straight Razors and you can try different blades like in DEs. They are so good.
I love the shavette too or cut throath as I call it doesn't shave quite as close as the safety razor but still very good with wilkinson sword blades but I actully like shaving with it even better than the safety razor because you feel the blade on your face and you have to concentrate more on shaving which I like.
Another thing i learned from sinatra is its ok to give your face a dry rub of the razor which I've been doing nearly scence i started shaving some shaving forums are totally against it, I got a good shave from a bad derby razor blade in my shavette from doing it.
A genuine carbon steel straight razor is better than a shavette. However a straight requires lots of tender loving care to keep it happy but with a shavette you just change the blade. Straights are also gentler and much more forgiving than shavettes due to the blade being much more flexible at the edge whereas shavettes are very stiff and unforgiving of errors. That said if you can shave injury and irritation free with a shavette then you will have an easy time with a proper carbon or silver steel straight.
@@haydenwayne637 Yes there is no place for errors with shavettes. Shavettes for me are more of a cool thing, a fun way to spend free time without maintaining a real straight razor and let's be honest it is way harder to die from a shavette than from a straight.
Shavettes are an ultimate cool thing. If someone doesn't feel it then they are just not worth it. DE Safety Razor is just the king of shaving.
Can you make a video of how to get rid of the beard shadow
Just used my first safety razor (Parker 90R) it was a good experience loved the smoothness and precision but gave myself a few tiny cuts, hopefully soon i’ll become good at not giving myself cuts haha
The cuts have more to do with technique than the sharp blades.
I got a van der hagen set for Christmas and finally tried using it instead of an electric razor and definitely my preferred way to shave now!
Shave Secret available at Wal Mart for a very low price makes for a great pre-shave oil.
I just spent 14min watching a guy shaving and I do not regret it.
Ha! Isn’t CZcams a weird place?
I just bought my first safety razor today, and I am an old 46 years old! I was scared of these, because I just don't want to cut my face. I was pleasantly surprised! Those 5 blade dollar club things are going in the garbage. Mach 3 can go in the garbage too.
After I finished shaving about an hour ago, and my face feels great! I bought the Van Der Hagen twist adjustable. It's a good start!
That’s great! Yeah, after the initial apprehension, it’s a great shave.
@@SinatraLennon I think I will become a shave snob out of this experience! 😂😂😂😂 Look what you started!
I'm 55 and just started shaving with a safety razor about a month and a half ago, I'll be 56 in july and will shave with a beautiful wooden handled safety razor i bought on line €61 including postage😂
Nice to have sinatra to blame for curupting us 😂
