How to load a straight razor

[@tudorionel8707]

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

@The Spoopy King LET MY MAN EXPRESS HIMSELF

[@abanoubnakhla1453]

Hi

[@jesusisgod2953]

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.

[@dangerbill7255]

I was going to watch this to learn about straight razors before I buy one on Amazon, but this guy's strange 5oclock shadow mustache thing is too ridiculous for me to pay attention.

[@minusx2154]

I shaved my beard with a razor for the first time after watching this video, no cuts and it went perfectly thanks bro 💪💪

[@livingchaosmatrix]

I was watching anime openings, how did I even get here?
Also, just ordered a razor.

[@unrealxxx]

I see you're a fellow man of culture

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks!

[@teaspoon103084]

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

[@Liberal_I_Am_That_I_Am]

👊🏽

[@jacktait9849]

that's sick man. may your dad rest in peace.

[@christopherprice3955]

How is the straight razor working for you?

[@ELEVOPR]

I live in Siberia, We use a Hatchet to Shave, One swipe each cheek and My goatee is done 👊

[@cowboy2044]

Hatchet eh? interesting choice

[@HasnainKhan-qn2nf]

😂😂

[@cappuccinosnephew1382]

I always thought you Russians didn't even shave until now

[@gunslingermando8275]

Ah siberia the one country that calls Russians pussy when they complain about cold

[@anon-iraq2655]

Pfft youre like a kid, i use a gasoline chainsaw to shave

[@davidrose415]

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.

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks for watching!

[@lobo0354]

Dad gifted me my first straight razor. This is the best explanation on how to shave. I had a small idea because I’m no novice with shaving. But this is completely gonna take me to another level.

[@iannisireland3887]

Excellent straightforward explanation. Really useful as I wasn't shaving at 30 degrees! Thank you.

[@magot4life100]

My grandma just got me an antique original pipe razor and I’m so excited to start shaving with it, this video was awesome

[@robert.c.campbell5691]

Thank you! I have had my streight razor for a few years and have been wondering what I am doing wrong! Awesome vid!

[@jessejefferson7014]

I am about to start shaving myself with a straight razor, and this video is the best i have seen.

[@balajiramaswamy8883]

The best explanation I ever heard. He explains very politely and calmly. Excellent 👌

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dylantaylor3998]

Thank you!!! I almost cut my head off....the 3 parts of the blade explanation got me out of my head. Awesome job.

[@dochkodochev7680]

I wanted to learn how to do it since I ordered one... Quick, clean, spot on. No fuss, no needless drama. Great video. Respect.

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks for watching

[@luigig6256]

Clear with the basics. You are an effective teacher. I’ll be showing my son this video first before others as it is encouraging and clear. I have subbed hoping you have more no fuss techniques. Thanks

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@magnoliamike]

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

[@wimeatsworld]

I came to learn about angles, now I know all the anatomically correct parts of my razor.

[@Firefighter53]

My buddy is a Barber, and I've always wanted to try a straight blade razor. You did a great job of teaching "the basics" of it! Thank you!

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

No problem!

[@johnburns7121]

Very good explanation and I am now using the straight razor for the first time in my 59yrs and finally entered into the manly and best shave ever. Thank you so much

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks for watching

[@heptagrammar21]

That's easily the best video on shaving with a straight razor on CZcams , thanks man .

[@clutchmaster2156]

Great content! I only watched 2 of your videos after watching about 200 no exaggeration and learned something new. Thx!

[@codhit]

u helped more than u know man!
Thanks for being here for new barbers like us!❤

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Not a problem!

[@Maddogg-hg5me]

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.

[@johnrambo66]

Thanks! Makes me a little more comfortable with the idea of using the straight razor!

[@6ixsidejoey661]

Just ordered a straight razor and it came in the mail today, been looking to start lining up my beard myself. Thank you for this 🙏🏼

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

thanks for watching

[@ultimomoneymoney1109]

I have been using a straight blade for years I actually taught myself how to and I’m actually really good at it only thing is I can’t explain it like you did because I was self taught lol u did great explaining it on this video good job

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks for watching

[@RonZanderful]

I’ve been thinking about trying the straight edge. Glad I found this video! Thanks!

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks for watching

[@saulrodriguez105]

Just bought mine yesterday and this the best way to help me out. Much appreciated king

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Glad I could help

[@joelperez-pickens6131]

Going to try a new way. I've always used store bough blades, electric and expensive all of which haven't given what I've wanted. Thanks for giving me some pointers.

[@dee1062]

I did it for the first time as you said. It was a success. Thank you so much. I was smiling ear to ear. And I didn't cut myself either

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Nice!!!

[@ClassifyMedia]

Thank you! This is very helpful! I’ve always wanted to use a classic shaver

[@sirterry2444]

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. :)

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

True. Thanks for watching

[@Azazel367]

Thank you for this video, now I enjoy to shave using straight razor 😊

[@NickRyanBayon]

Thank you I bought one yesterday because I like how they usually shape with it and wanted to know how to touch it up myself and this helped a lot 🙂

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Glad I could help!

[@nhlakaniphomiya380]

Excellent tutorial, clear explanation, attention to detail, bravo.

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks for watching

[@renmner]

At age 52, my husband decided he wants to start shaving with a blade razor. Your excellent video showed him that this form of shaving is not as easy as he thought (even for beginners) Again, excellent video!

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Glad it helped!

[@abdulzainal8]

Get off his back for gods sake

[@vel2118]

even for beginners?

[@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic]

I always love seeing these old arts in practice. Not being a gent, I don't have much use for a straight razor, but it's nice to see this really simple, elogent piece of tech still in use. Lovely video!

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks for watching

[@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic]

​@@ezbladeshavingproducts Thank you for making! This whole world only runs by the hard work of people, and I for one really appreciate good, quality productions like this, ones which are quite more than ample on facts, and really lay down a good foundation for someone to jump into something like learning to use a straight razor.

[@mahmoudalawneh8808]

You're a natural teacher.

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks

[@Euphanik]

I only use a razor and scissor to groom my beard and this is closest to what i do. Great video man.

[@TCadogan71]

Finally a great explanation for a straight razor rookie like me. Thank you.

[@tonybates9107]

I live in NZ and it's father's Day here, my child bought me a straight razor and I thought I had an idea in how to use it, chances are i'd have taken more than hair off of me. Your video was very insightful cheers bruh

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks for watching! Glad it helped

[@pritzyb5347]

Brilliant explaination buddy! No story telling about irrelevant stuff and precise explanation. 👍

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Glad you liked it!

[@jacksnap425]

This is an excellent and really informative video. Thanks, man!

[@lukesymmons]

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.

[@Wellin220365]

Absolutely the best tutorial ever. thank you

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@meltoncul]

Great video(s).. One area I have difficulty stretching is below the jaw just under and in front of the ear. 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).

[@allonbackuth5832]

Hell yes got my zeva gift set and I'ma start practicing. Ty you for the video

[@simonster-9094]

Dang, I always thought of a straight razor as a more primitive shaving tool, but seeing how clean it shaves is pretty impressive.

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

Thanks for watching

[@justindunlap1235]

I remember a study that looked a closeness of shave, the straight razor came in first cutting .003 inch shorter than a traditional safety razor. Not much but you sure can feel it.

[@socaljarhead7670]

It takes 3-5 times longer to shave though. The same results can be had with a modern razor by shaving against the grain.

[@yasssgawwwd5643]

Thank u! I tried it once, bought it, attempting it Not pulling bak from my skin, quit after that attempt, lost the razor 🪒 and 100 replacement blades but I’m here today!🤩🙌
