Thank you much for the Super Thanks 😊
For me, the toughest part of learning to shave with a DE is breaking 20 years of bad habits from using a cartridge razor.
That is a really good point. There are a ton of bad habits I still catch myself doing from using a disposable razor.
No pressure, let the heft of the razor do the work. Start off with a mild razor. No drag or glide, just light short strokes.
Oh yeah, I only used cartridges for 6-7 years and I still find myself with bad habits at times, even though I’ve used DE razors for 4 years.
Rockwell #2 PLATE - feather blade with Great Results.
That top shelf video production is paying off. You're getting around 1000 views for each video now. Nice work. Excellent presentation on this offering. Thanks again.
Hope so! Thanks for noticing and for all of your encouragement.
have to say, being new to the whole safety razor shaving thing, that alum block is a great way to convince you to have better shaving technique.
👍
Hi David,
Thanks for this.
You’re welcome brother. Glad you liked it
Great vid for shavers of all levels.
Thanks 👍
Muchas gracias, excelente video. Saludos desde Costa Rica! Pura vida
Thank you much
nice job man 👍🏾
Thanks
Enjoy watching your Vids! I'm a State away from you Live in Kentucky so it's nice watching a Neighbor lol. You keep making em I'll keep watching ✌️
Thank you much
Congratulations David! This might be your best video. Full of instruction, awesome technique and super commentary. Proud of you My Man!!
Wow, that’s a really great complement. Thank you so much
I’d say the hardest part for me is not mixing up the blade and the safety piece when I’m going the opposite way of my hair basically the same as you did here I just started shaving like this yesterday 2/09/23 so I’m literally brand new to this and love it more then anything lol I just feel like I’m missing a lot of hair still I only do 2 passes I thought 3 or more would damage the face but no I was wrong lol
Glad I could help. Keep me posted 👍
@@OhioShaves did 3 passes the other day for the first time I was amazed lol. Still suck at going up ward against the grain on my neck/bottom of chin I keep watching this video to make sure I’m doing it so right thanks again!!!
Great video. Good explanation about not having to have a thick layer of lather for 2nd and 3rd passes. It is important only on the 1st pass to really work the lather onto your face since most the hair is removed on the 1st pass anyway. As well, the whiskers on the 1st pass tend to hold the lather in place; not so on subsequent passes. You're a good teacher. Were you a Professor at "The Ohio School of Shaving"?
Well said!
I shaved for the first time using this method, thanks for the walkthrough. Felt incredibly nice, fresh, comfortable. Although I need to practice more because it didn't turn out as well as before, I was using those disposable razors too.. I only found the King C. Gillette Safety razor. Maybe you can review it sometime? Thanks.
👍
Great tutorial. Do you always use your dominant hand for both sides or should you learn to use both hands? Also,is it better to use a higher plate # on the Rockwell or more passes at a lower #. Thanks.
I do shave with my offhand, but on camera, I have to reposition my face to get different angles. If you're having to make more passes on your face, I would definitely step up to a different plate.
Nivea Men - Sensitive After Shave Balm is awesome. Very inexpensive, widely available, recommended by dermatologists, and very effective.
✅ my favorite
There's nothing like a new Feather. They need to be used with a mild razor. That's the key for success with a Feather.
If you use a Feather with an aggressive razor you'll have trouble unless your technique is one in a million.
Good call there
Hi, nice Video. I have one question, which leatherbowl do you take in your Video?
It's only a $6 bowl. Here is the link it's from Sterling soap company: www.stirlingsoap.com/collections/shaving-bowls
I have been shaving my head for 22 years now and have always wanted to use one of these on both my face and head. How hard would it be to use on my head. My father always used one and I think they would give a closer shave.
Find the right angle and take it slow. Can you pretty damn easy👍
comme huile de pré-rasage prendre de l'huile d'olive çà va super bien et c'est pas cher
Whatever works for you
Where'd you get the bowl you used? Thanks.
Sterling soap company. It’s just a small dog slow feeding bowl from a pet store
Thanks!@@OhioShaves
I’ve been trying to not get ingrown hairs on the bottom part of my neck. I’ve tried EVERYTHING from new razor blades, to all kinds of products, etc and I just can’t seem to prevent it.
I had the same issue. I started using a mild safety razor the Merkur 34c and after a month I could see a huge improvement. Now after a year it’s pretty much nonexistent. I do occasionally get some razor burn but that’s the extent of it now after using a safety razor. Proper shaving products like a brush, shaving soaps/creams, Alum block and a shaving balm contributed to my success. Hope this helps. Let me know
Does your brush lose any bristles when you make your lather?
I've lost about three or four hairs within the first month of use. After that I haven't had any fall out. The nice thing with a synthetic brush is you don't have to soak it in hot water forever. About 10 seconds is all I soak it in warm water and then I start lathering out my face or bowl.
Unfortunately, I imagine that you don't want to endorse any websites, but I would like to find one site where I could either order everything that I need, or build a kit like a checklist, and affordably.
Just putting this out there, thanks for your excellent videography, OS!
I've been thinking about that as well. Do you think people would buy from me?
@@OhioShaves it depends how you feel about your following on this platform, I suppose.
Also, I imagine that you would need to know how to open a website, get supply, storage, etc. Depending on the scale of shop that you would have.
Would be cool if you could get a sponsor deal with your favorite supply website, then maybe a bonus promo for the viewers to use.
I'm trying to finally buy my first official safety razor kit, within $125. Prob going to shave my head eventually also.
Just wanted to try to give my opinion, per your reply to me.
Keep on shaving so excellently, OS!
Thx
@@OhioShaves Welcome!
I just have to take note of all of what you use, then fill a cart online to order, is all.
Can you make an in depth tutorial on only the neck?
Do you have sensitive skin?
I have no problems shaving with safety razor on my face, except when it comes to the neck. So yes I think I have sensitive, i always get cuts, bumps when shaving the neck.@@OhioShaves
I’ll make another how to video. But not just the neck from start to finish.
Awesome thank you :) Can you also cover when to change blades and how to pick the right blade for safety razor? @@OhioShaves
What should I do if my hair grows sideways and in multiple directions on my face and neck? My left cheek it grows sideways, my left side of the neck also grows in the same way but with a slight curve upwards. My right cheek it grows downwards at a 45 degree angle and the neck grows sideways/upwards to the jaw.
I am trying to get it BBS but I always end up cutting myself on the neck when I have to shave sideways. Any tips to avoid cutting myself?
Don't go across the grain on your neck. I don't as well. 1st pass with the grain. 2nd pass against the grain. 3 pass against the grain. Going across the grain on your neck with sensitive skin for some reason causes irritation for me as well. One of my subscribers pointed this out to me. No, I haven't looked back since and I'm getting some of the best shaves of my life. Give it a try.
If you want an excellent shave with minimal cost, effort and time try this: Q-Shave adjustable razor (Merkur clone for $20) and Creemo. I tossed my brush and cup when I found that a cream, massaged with fingers, did a better job of moisturizing. Remember a close and nick free shave is a result of technique 90% and equipment 10%. The Q-Shave razor will not dazzle you with a glittering finish or precision machining, but it will do the job.
I owe the futur. I’ll try creemo. Thank you much
@@OhioShaves I start with the number one setting and the lightest possible touch. I try to not let the blade touch my skin. After my beard is cut down near the skin I go to the higher numbers for the closest shave.
How many blades you got
Just a few
CAN ANYONE HELP.ME GUYS...I HAD A STRAIGHT RAZOR COULD NOT GET AWAY WITH IT SADLY... BUT IM.THIBKING A DE ONE MIGHT BE FOR ME... I TRIED WOTH A SR AND CUT MYSELF SO MUCH...PLEASE CAN ANYONE TELL ME ARE YHE DE ONES EASIER AND LESS LIKELY TO CUT MYSELF PLEASE GUYS ??? APPRECIATE THE KIND HELP
much easier
Thought you were supposed to let the alum dry
I don’t.
Depends really the way reason why they prefer to dry so that it doesn't form a little weird small crystal. When you put on you can feel it, so far nothing even it's little
Nice acid trip beginning maaaan.
Thanks my friend you're the first one to notice. It's amazing how well one can develop in a year. I like to look back and watch old videos myself.
I need to shave the long hairs in my nose and ears...
I've been using trimmers, but I just ordered a waxing kit from Amazon to test it out this week or next week. I've heard a lot of great success stories on men waxing nose and ears hairs.
I still shave 🪒 against the grain.
👍Me too
@@OhioShavesthat’s awesome 👏🏻
The goat on the chin is exactly like that. So with chin hair like a shaving brush you look more "manly"?
😁
