- Here is a video for those of you thinking of making the switch from cartridge razors to traditional wet-shaving. Shaving like you father and grandfather did. It's a fun hobby, and costs are much much less for blades compared to cartridge refills. I will cover briefly; brushes, blades, razors, preshave, soaps and some techniques. Not in depth but enough to give you an idea of what you need to get started. Below I will include the links to some shave websites.
Thank you for watching. Subscriptions appreciated.

This is like spending an afternoon with Grandpa learning about one aspect of how to be a man. Thanks for this.
You sir are the Bob Ross of shaving.
Me: "I am not going to watch a 30 minute video on shaving."
One thing I love about this style of shaving, or craft, is that it's just a part of your day where all the BS of life goes somewhere else. It's your own world. It's relaxing, and it's fun. And I will say, the smell that some of these soaps and creams have are out of this world amazing. Its fun to have a stand and a brush and a bowl waiting for you. It's a great experience.
Great to see a mature gentleman handing down the wisdom. Love the Connery photo. Thanks Ken. From Australia.
A custom-made handle on a shaving brush - this man takes shaving seriously. From now on, I will believe what he says and do what he tells me.
I love your your unbiased approach to all different kind of product. Good show.
This video is like my grandpa sitting me down and giving me the wet shaving talk. Thanks for this video
I'm going to switch to safety razors, brush and soap. The waste created by shaving cream cans and cartridges is insane!
I know I'm late watching this but I could listen to this guy talk about anything...
Ken, had a 4 hour train ride yesterday and watched a bunch of your videos. Today went to the drug store and got myself one of those Wilkinson Classic razors. Here in Germany they go for 3.50€ minus a 20% sale that was going on. Just finished my first shave. What can I say? Awesome result and no cuts. My wife saw your den and now she's scared :-)
It’s my first time watching a whole CZcams video over 20min without getting bored lol
This was a nice way to spend 30 minutes. Far more enjoyable than what is on television these days plus, I learned something. Ken's videos never get old. It is always a pleasure to try different things regarding shaving. Shaving is our "Me Time". Not much beats a fresh shower and shave using quality products.
The lesson my father never gave me. Thanks for this.
Just found this video - as a neophyte I bought a Merkur slant and Feather blades on a recommendation from a coworker. All of which you don’t recommend for a beginner which is good. Needless to say, I wound up with more than a few nicks and cuts the first few times - glad I hung in there - a couple of months later and anything less aggressive leaves me impatient.
Love the tutorial! I was always told not to use alcohol based aftershave because it dries out the skin. I currently use an aftershave balm which works nice.
Excellent video! Many thanks for the tips!
I've watched Ken for years, but this is the first time I've seen this video, wet shaved forever but this is a great video.
Nice video, Ken. I actually like your longer videos, personally. I know you average under 10 mins. but I think you should take your time... That's part of what makes it relaxing... If it's too long for people they can always fast forward. But anyway, I hope this video encourages the folks who are "on the fence" to commit to wet shaving. I'm certainly glad I did! It's been probably 4 years now... A really enjoyable experience and "addicting" like you say... But that's okay, it's a positive addiction...haha... Actually it's really just a hobby. Some (most) people don't understand how wet shaving could be a hobby... But there's a lot worse things to spend your money and time on. Thanks Ken!
Ken ... I was surfing looking for the original Old Spice that my deceased husband wore as I miss that smell on him ... but soon found out that once buying .. it doesn't smell like what he used . I'm 70 years old and I guess they have changed things since when he wore it . I just want to say however that that is how I ran across your CZcams shows and found you very entertaining and knowledgeable on the subject of all and found myself watching several of your shows . After ordering Old Spice original on ebay , I found that this particular bottle didn't smell at all and now will not do that again ... hahah ... but I want to say that I enjoy the history and knowledge you share and wish continued success ! BTW ...has anyone ever told you that you look and sound like Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men ? To me ... you sure do ... haha . Love your videos ... glad you admitted to having your lovely wife and daughter help you with the smells of the different after shaves ... hahaha ! I to remember not only my deceased husband using Old Spice but also my daddy ... again .. keep up the videos !
