Glad you're back Nick. Congratulations on your new born child. Your videos inspired me to start recording shaving videos once I get comfortable in front of the camera 😅 I recently purchased a Badger & Blade essential boar brush as a tribute to you for helping me discover this wonderful hobby
I love that brush! I should use it more. I’ll head over to your channel now
glad to see you're back uploading regularly
Thanks! I’m really enjoying making videos again
Alessandro LinuxBSD congrats
Good to see you back brother cheers from Los Angeles 🍻
Hi Nick! Just wanted to know I saw your tag. I'm currently out of town without video equipment but I'll try to get a response video up in the 1st (or maybe 2nd) week of Feb.
Excellent! Glad you got the tag. Excited to see your response
@@nickshaves My challenge reply vid is up! :)
Agree to the max with you, Nick! Thanks for sharing with us. Change those bulbs to LED! 💡
That's a great idea! The heat is too much sometimes
Thanks for the video, Nick. Your shave videos are by far the best, and I am so glad you’re back in the game. Thank you for finding the time to do this again despite being super busy with life and all. And, thank you for what you do...being a Dr. is very admirable.
I’m glad you mentioned Stirling Soap Co. They have basically out competed pretty much every other soap in my den. I have about 12 soaps currently in rotation and 11 of them are Stirling.
As for Feather blades, they are also my favorite. Always super sharp, always giving a comfy close shave. I change them out after 2 shaves, because I have a coarse beard and blades are cheap enough anyway.
Thanks again Nick!
Good choices all around Nick. Feathers are by far my favorite blades, and I can be sure Geo will pick them too. All the best to you , your lovely wife, and your up and coming little wet shaver. Good luck on your Ortho rotation.
Great list Nick. PAA Gondolier has always been a favorite of mine. I love that scent.
Me too! It’s as perfect as a shave scent can be
My blade is an Astra SP Platinum. Sharp and smooth, they are king for head shaves for me!
Nick that Margaritas in the Arctic Glacial formulation is a favorite of mine, especially in the summer after I've mowed the lawn and taken a cool shower. The soap coupled with the aftershave...oh so refreshing.
Agree 100% about the Feather blades. They are my top blade pick as well. Great choices all around.
You should start doing "A day in a life of a doctor". That'll be super dope
Edit: Thanks for 20 likes!! Hopefully he sees this haha
Really
Thanks Nick!I have watched you for years and everything you comment on is right on target.It is a pleasure to reference your observations on the shaving products you review.Shine on buddy!
Great stuff! We always look forward to your recommendations.
I had no idea you watched my videos! I love your channel. I’ve learned a ton from you. Additionally, I just invested in my first pair of Allen Edmonds after watching your videos
nick shaves That’s awesome! Wow, we appreciate you watching! Yeah, we’ve both been wet shaving for several years (I still let my beard grow out occasionally). You and Geofatboy have been our go-to’s for years. Keep up the great work! Glad to have you back! Enjoy the Allen Edmonds. They’re great shoes. 👍🏻
Glad to see you back! It has been a long time! Happy for your success and joy of being a Father. Welcome to the Daddio club! You should check out some Horse Hair brushes, I personally haven't had any issues with them. They are collected naturally from the brushes when horses are groomed. So it's pretty awesome to know it's not harming anyone or anything :) Vie-Long Brown Horse Hair has been my favorite!
Nick. Thank you for this video. You are one ,with geo fat boy that got me started into wet shaving. Good to see you doing videos again.
Hi Nick I had used feather blades but was not overly impressed. Having seen your video I decided to try a feather in my Rockwell something I had not tried. I was amazed as I had an excellent shave. Smooth no nicks or cuts just a good comfortable shave. After my experience in the Rockwell I will have no hesitation in buying and using them again.
I agree on the 34c still amazing after so many years, consistently amazing! Enjoying the uploads after so long, Hope all is well.
I’m curious. Since you purchase so many different products to make your videos, what do you do with them all? You can’t possibly keep everything, can you?
Proraso Green has two post shaves, the lotion which is that clear green liquid and balm which is light white cream.
3:13 they have both a balm and lotion aftershave Nick 😃
yes, the after shave is called lotion, the balm - well, balm
@@Stoeff1987 Yep. The splash is called lotion. 🧴
Confirmed.
Great selection. Seville is also my all time favorite!
It’s funny you say that I recently on my birthday this past November got fine accoutrements fresh Vetiverhard puck and splash. Inspired after Tom Fords “Grey Vetiver “.
I love the soap and the splash lasts *FOREVER*
Fine Accoutrements Fresh Vetiver - Great scent!
I'm glad you make this video because I was wondered what your favorite soaps were. I need something slippery like Stirling to enhance my shaves. Can you make another video with one of your vintage razors?
Great Tag. Love seeing your favorites
So satisfying to watch your videos! Thanks for the regular upload bro!
I appreciate your videos, very helpful to a new wet shaver. Your format is direct and sincere, very much appreciated.
Glad to see you back
So surprised you didnt choose the omega 10066 for the boar brush. The 10066 is the best brush for me. I love it alot. Fine fresh vetiver is spot on. Your videos got me into wet shaving around 5 years ago and I can't thank you enough
Great video Nick. All your videos are great!!
Great video Nick! Just ordered the Seville a couple days back, but have been wanting to try Gondolier since you first reviewed it. Next order, have to burn thru some soap first! Cheers
You should try A&E uno, or any A&E's soaps really
Thanks for the video Nick! Any way we can see your collection of soap and razors?
Really enjoyed it Nick. Thank you.👍
Fresh Vetiver is amazing!
Agreed Conrad!
Are you a full-time doctor now?
I am "full time" but in my fellowship, which is the last year of sub-specialty training until I am out on my own later this year
@@nickshaves Nice! Congrats Nick!
Nice man! and then tagged fatboy?? Sick!
Hi Nick thanks for sharing your opinions found it very interesting. It's good to have your opinions to narrow the field for us as it is not practical for many of us to buy all the different products available.
i agree 100% with the Rockwell I love mine. I haven't tried any think like the amount of blades you have tried but so far given everything price, comfort, quality etc I find Astra a good choice. As a UK resident I tend to use Tobs though again I am working my way though different soaps I am looking forward to trying DR Harris soap not cream but cannot buy locally will have to take a trip to London. In the Uk we have Palmolive which is excellent for the price, Stick 75p Cream £1.80, this was the first soap I used when I first started shaving over 50 years ago and it's still going strong.
Keep up the good work and glad to see you back.
Great information, being new to wet shaving I get a lot info out of these videos. Thanks for sharing this.
Have you ever tried the Oubliette from Synergy? I cant pin point the fragrance at all but it smells nice and the shave is unreal, definitely one to check out if you haven't already.
Surprising, I was sure you were going to pick the personna lab blue blades. For me, it's the Astra greens.
Thanks for all the information much appreciated.
Excellent video. Greetings from the Dominican Republic.
Tom's Turbo garage long lost brother
Can you review the van der Hagen blades
my man! do you have a line up of "everything you need to have to start shaving like a boss?" anything missing from this list though?
Great Video👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼what about Simpson Brush Chubby 2 Best Badger Nick I heard they Shed...??For price you pay hmmm
Great list💈 over all 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Alan
Great choices Nick. Awesome video.
Nice video Nick! Please keep up and continue uploading
Try "Southern Witchcrafts" soap.
Nick! Great video, I noticed this list is older gear now. What was it like stepping away from the shaving game? Have you been buying new stuff to review? There are a lot of new formulas, artisans, and gear since you have been away.
If you like barbershops you should try Stirling Barbershop. It’s my Favorite Scent so far and got me in to loving barbershop type scents
That being said I want to try B&M seville and PAA Gondoliers
The Scented Soldier Shaves mont blanc like the Fountain Pens? Lol I have their ink for my fountain pens
Did you try the Seville
Nick, You are the first person I have heard say that Feather blades are long lived. How many shaves do you get out of these blades?
Many comment that the Feather blade "loses it's sharpness" after the first use. I suspect that it remains perfectly usable, but would require a different aggressiveness setting on the razor for subsequent shaves. Many users state that they treat Feather blades as single use blades. IMO, these are expensive as single use blades... hence my inquiry.
I think that they keep their sharpness for 2 shaves, then it starts to dull. But, I continue to use the blade, it still gives and excellent shave that is smooth, just doesn’t have the extreme edge
I bought myself a Plisoft for Christmas. It's no longer $10. Would that it were.
I just cut my 2 inch beard off to skin. Wow what a weird feeling. Word of advice, use scissors to cut it down as best you can first. Dont skin yourself.
Will you review the Reuzel Shave Cream?
Fantastic choices!!!! Great video Nick with some very good tags! I sure hope they respond
Thanks Nick for all your content!
Your videos have certainly helped myself and many others enjoy a perfectly CHISELED and SHINY face!
Plus, the women in my life love it 😉
Couple surprises in there.
Hey Nick. My friend Aji has asked me if you'd like to try one of his brand new razors which is an H&S Co N075 razor. I've tried it myself and it is a very fine razor. And that's saying something considering how many razors I have. I was really impressed by this thing. Anyhow please let me know if you'd like to try it and where to send it. I've included my email address and Facebook link below. I will delete them in a couple days if I don't hear back from you.
Feather Blades your right Nick Quality Top Notch 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Bad side I get rash cut my face and for some reason doesn’t work on my skin...
Please check out Canadian Spiffo Brushes very nice Quality it’s made in Nova Scotia I believe...💈👍🏼
Alan
Definately Seville. No brainer.
Glad you agree! It’s amazing
Just Subscribed to your channel man. 😎👍🏼
Nice choices! You chose the majority of what I would choose.
Nice choice Butterfingers! HeHeHe
