  • In this world of increasing prices, and trying to save a couple bucks by making the switch from a disposable Gillette razor to a safety razor is a great way to save up substantial amount of money. In this video, I'm gonna be shaving with the least expensive, best selling Razor on Amazon compared to the most expens safety razor made today. Also, in the video I'm gonna be going over Accutech and persona blades. There's a lot of misconception out there, so I just want to make a video to help clean that up. Don't forget to check out one below. Thanks for all your support.

    Great video David! I think its awesome the man's manscaped beat the Tedalus. I was thinking about selling a kidney to get one😂 do you think the personna cc blade wouldn't have done as well as the accuforge? I have thick hair like you and the personna cc has performed just as well through thick growth. What do you think?

      Tedalus has guided angle shaving direction. It is difficult to feel the angle and it is not good for thick growth. However it can pull the skin and provide a cleaner finishing pass, or may be a good daily shaver I think.

    Holy Crap, Batman! I’ve been experimenting with every blade under the sun trying to find the best blade combo for my 3 razors. Based largely upon your enthusiastic endorsement, I just bought a pack of Accuforge blades from Matt at Razor Emporium. I popped one into my T2 this morning and WOW…it was shaving nirvana!! A two-pass shave (@ 3 1/2 and 2 3/4) on two-days growth, it was ridiculously smooth, efficient and incredibly sublime - BBS (at least what is my perception of BBS). Not a cut, nick, weeper…nor any dragging or tugging whatsoever.
    I’m getting the impression that pairing a more aggressive blade in a milder razor (and vice versa) is a winning strategy. I’ve had great results with the Kai and Gillette Platinum blades in my Konsul and Velocity One, but this combo in the T2 was fantastic. Again, thanks for all you do. Glad to be supporting the channel!

    Well not sure what happened but my comment seems to have disappeared. Probably the store name I mentioned for Feather blades. I'll DM you that then. Great video. You sound like my brother on the market comment but then again you are exactly right. Personally I can get a lot more shave gear for the price of the Tedalus. I actually thought the lab blues were the Personna Comfort blades. I already purchased some Accuforge from Matt when he released his video on the change. Haven't put them in yet. Still messing around with the Twig and it seems like sacrilege to break one in half. Never ceases to amaze me how no matter what video you present I always seem to glean some little tidbit of knowledge to add. Thanks again for a great video.

    Hey David! I agree with you on the Manscape Plow 2.0. It's a great shaver and has a great price point! I actually purchased mine brand new of eBay for just $10! It has a nice weight balance and comfortable grip. As for that Tedalus, it looks exquisite and appears to have an outstanding build quality, but I couldn't see myself purchasing it due to the hefty price. I would be afraid of damaging it somehow like dropping it. That definitely would be a keepsake item to pass along as a family heirloom. Thanks for the great review! JimG

Spending $1k on something that can last a lifetime doesnt seem to bad for an enthusiast. That person may have other expensive hobbies like cars or watches, etc so $1k is "affordable" in comparison.

I have found the Feather to be unnecessarily sharp and get less irritation with Perma-Sharp and Personna Platinum, which I'm still not clear how they compare to the Personna comfort coated and Lab blue/accutec. Also tried the Gilette Silver Blue for the first time the other day in my Thorn and got a great shave with those, which surprised me based on reviews. Does the search ever end?🙃

      Hard question. Lately I’ve been using Yates with the EH plate. I tend to like more aggressive razors for my head. Leaf razor is probably the easiest for me paired with the twig for detailing around my ears. I do like the Henson as well but getting the angle perfect for me takes more time. I’ve had the most done by Rockwell Razors. I should probably put out more head shave videos, but they don’t get many views and CZcams doesn’t push them as well as others

No way I would spend a grand for a razor. Currently considering the Yates razor. But the darn stands continue to be out of stock. As far as a starter razor, I would still have to go with the Henson. It really helps the beginner to understand the angle needed. But I don't think I saw you give a definitive verdict on Accutech vs Persona. What's the skinny on those?s

    I am still confused about these two Personna blades. My understanding is that there are only two Personna blades manufactured in the USA. The Comfort Coated and the so-called Med Preps. That Super/Super Blade you showed should have "For Hospital Use" printed on it. At least the ones I have do. I was always told that the blades for hospital use are the "Med Preps" and the "Comfort Coated" are the so-called Lab Blues. It should be noted that everyone selling the Personna Comfort Coated blades calls them Lab Blues. Matt at Razor Emporium was the first person I've heard say the Comfort Coated blades are NOT the Lab Blues. My limited research has found that the Comfort Coated blades were originally wrapped in Blue paper and over time the wrapping changed to White paper. But they were still referred to as Lab Blues. Matt said he is going to have a video that resolves all the confusion. BTW, I have shaved with my "Med Preps" and "Lab Blues". For me, I could not distinguish any difference. Maybe that's because I'm a daily shaver and my beard was not heavy enough to challenge the difference?

      AccuTec Blades is a new company formed when a group of investors purchased Personna Industrial from Edgewell. “Industrial” in this case encompasses products for the medical and scientific industry and products for the beauty/barber industry, as well as products irrelevant to wet shavers such as scalpels, carpet cutters, and many others. AccuTec also now owns the blade plant in Verona, Virginia, the source of all current production DE blades labeled “Made in the U.S.A.,” as well as a factory in Obregon, Mexico. As far as we can tell, the factory in Mexico does not produce any DE blades currently used in the wet shaving community.
      The 2015 Personna Industrial (now AccuTec) catalogs list five different DE blades: coated, oiled blades; coated, unoiled blades; uncoated, oiled blades; and coated surgical prep blades. All the coated blades are billed as using Personna’s proprietary “Comfort Coating.”
      The blades we commonly know as “lab blues” are sold in boxes of 100 or 5-pack plastic dispensers and are oiled, Comfort Coated blades. The familiar blue wrappers have recently been replaced with plain white wrappers.
      The blades we commonly know as “med preps” are surgical prep blades. The catalog description of these blades is nearly identical to that of the “lab blues,” though it does not mention that surgical prep blades are oiled. These blades are stamped “for hospital use” and have also recently seen a change in packaging, now coming in lighter blue wrappers.
      The infamous “barber blades” are likely the uncoated blades, though these are not marketed to either the beauty salon/barber industry or as a medical product under the Personna name; they’re just available as a bulk product that the company is able to supply. @@BartBuzz

      @@bangaloremusic Thank you for confirming what I have learned from my research. The Personna DE blade saga is very convoluted.

      @@BartBuzz Simply, the Personna Med-Preps came in a blue wrapper and the blade labeled "for hospital use'
      Personna Comfort Coated - originally came in a blue wrapper and dubbed by wetshaving fans 'Lab Blue' because they were avaiable in labaratory supply catalogs - the same blade later came in a white wrapper - the part numbers remained the same. Different outer packaging changes were a regular occurance.
      Neither the Med Prep or Comfort Coated (in either color package) were intended for, or marketed to the 'public'.
      The above mentioned 'barber blade' was a generic option intended for bulk sales to barber suppliers and moreso as a white label commodity availble for rebranding. e.g. It is likely that Dollar Store blades in the silver dispenser are an example. A shaving forum thread deeply dives into that specific story and essentially ties the two by deduction.
      I cannot comment on how Accu Tech has continued (or not) any of the above products in their current rebranding/labeling push.
      The Accu-Forge blade is being offered to the shaving community (as far as I know at this point) from a single online shaving store as the continuation of the Comfort Coated/Lab Blue legacy and are 400% more in price than the Personna labeled Comfort Coated could be had for.
      The recent situation with Russian production issues, famous well loved brands going out of business, (Polsilver/Super Iridum/Wizamet etc) and much production moved being move to China coupled to endless threads on shaving forums have exaggerated the unicon lore status of said unavailable products. This has of course, brought out the hoarders/CZcams alarmists/price gougers en masse. The Accu-Forge saga is right up front in that fray.
      Whether AccuTech addresses and/or clarifies this in any official way to the wetshaving community remains to be seen - I consider it unlikely as thise sales are a miniscule fraction of their industrial business and would likely be more trouble than it's worth.

    Great stuff right there! How do you compare the manscaped to the parker 78r and how do you like them for head shaves? I love your videos and would appreciate if you'd put in the description a list of what you used for the shave before all the different links. Like razor, blade, preshave, soap etc...

    When I saw "least expensive" in the thumbnail my first thought was 'umm a Tedalus v Parker 78R would make a great comparison video'...I was not expecting Manscape (even with it being in the title). In fairness I was watching on TV and the first thing I saw was Least Expensive in the thumbnail before I saw video's title.
    Thank you for explaining how you got to least expensive for this video. Personally, I put Manscape in the same category as Gillette junk as they are all overpriced and have horrific ads. I remember your video from June 4th, 2023 when you did the Manscape razor review where your thumbnail said 'knock off' and a comment you left said "I thought there was just a lot of Hype! It's just a re-branded $20 razor. Save your money." Yes, I had to go find the video just to make sure I wasn't gaslighting myself in misremembering what you said back then.
    Personally if anyone wants an inexpensive razor I tell em to get the Parker 78R. Those words from your June video speak louder than anything you say about the Manscape razor thereafter.

    Hi Ohio Shaves, good video but you're using new blades so they are going to slice thru on the first pass when the blades are at their most optimum. To test properly, I would venture using a blade that you don't rate highly or a blade that's on its 2nd or 3rd use. You would then eliminate the blade sharpness and have just the individual design of razor performance. Thanks for the video, All the Best...
