    You missed one very important tip: when you start straight shaving, apply very very little pressure. If one is used to shaving with a cartridge razor, their first instinct is that you need to apply some pressure to get a closer shave. With a straight razor that is not the case in the slightest. Blade is very sharp and you don't need to use more than the weight of the blade. If you apply more pressure you are prone to razor burns and nicks because u are removing not only the hairs, but a layer of your skin as well

      Are you saved? If you died tonight would you go to heaven or hell?
      The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell.
      John 1:1,14 KJV
      In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD.
      [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH , and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
      John 1:10 KJV
      He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

    Hey man I usually don't even leave comments but this was very informative, I'm switching to a straight razor for the 1st time instead of using Gillette, I'm trying to be more precise about my shaves like my dad was... He passed away 2 young before I got to experience my 1st shave Where he could have taught me so in honor of my dad and to just be better at shaving I thank you

  • @davidrose415
    @davidrose415 Před 2 lety +22

    I started learning to shave with a straight razor at 12 years old. After many cuts, some rather deep, I learned the techniques you talked about. The razor I learned with was the original design of a single piece blade, not a replaceable blade design. Now I am learning to use a replaceable blade. It is very different from having to sharpen the blade on hone then strap, or just the strap. Sharpening my own razor ment I could sharpen the blade to suit me, and I was ultra familiar with my razor. That closeness with the blade does have an effect on the use. So now I am having to adjust for that part not being there. I enjoy my wet shave. The hot water or hot wet towel to soften the hair, then the hot lather from the brush and the soothingness, then letting it (the warmth) soak in, then the smooth glide of the blade over your skin, then the soft after care of the hot towel then cold water followed by the lotion/after shave. It might take me 30 minutes to an hour to shave because of letting the stages take their due time. That is a gentleman's shave. It takes a true gentleman to hold a blade to your own throat and not cut yourself. I enjoyed this video.

      These are Shavettes not straight razors. Traditional Straight Razors you have to strop and hone on a whetstone….Barbers use these because of blood-borne pathogens they’re not allowed to use real straight razors anymore

    Thanks for the video. Just bought my first straight razor a few days ago from a knife vendor I've bought from before and thought I'd try it out since I was told by someone that a straight razor shave was the best shave he's ever had. I will try it out after I sharpen and strop it and this video had some good info.

  • @sirterry2444
    @sirterry2444 Před 2 lety +8

    One tip I think you missed was always cut with the direction your hair is growing in. If you try to cut against the direction your hair is growing in. The blade is so sharp it will go under the hair follicles and open you up. Learned this from experience as a newbie. Very helpful video bro. Especially the 30 degree angle point. :)

    The reason you stretch the skin is to prevent cuts, because the blade is less likely to get caught on the skin when it is less squishy.

There is a "valley" there I can't stretch except to pinch the meat there and make a little mountain. I'm talking about against the grain, using a backhand stroke... Suggestions welcomed! (I'm impressed with your expertise).
