Thanks for watching Tim! Happy you enjoyed the video! Stirling is amazing soap, my favorite to this day. Have a great week!

Hey Marcus! Thanks so much! Appreciate you man. I took a short break from my socials to focus on a few things. But I plan on making more content soon. All is well :)! And hoping the same for you guys!

@@DoubleAshaves Let's have a call soon and catch up! :)

Thanks for watching Eric. Thanks for the kind words! I would say if you love menthol, definitely give this a go. It’s a lot of fun! I haven’t tried this since I made this video, so I’m over due for another round. Have a good week.

Great choices robert! Glad to hear you got some Stirling soaps! Coniferous is one of my all time favorites that they have done! Haven’t smelled the others. Stirling soaps use a tallow base for their soap. And I think they a have a few made with sheep tallow. Great soap base! Enjoy!

Thanks for watching Eric. Thanks for the heads up, I did not know dollar tree sold their own pucks and brushes! Very neat. I tried this razor with a feather and it worked pretty well. Obviously not a fantastic shave but definitely serviceable. Thanks for the kind words and hope you have a great week!

Thanks for watching robert! Very happy to hear you enjoy southern witchcrafts! Their dark scents are just amazing, they are one of my favorite artisans out there. I just smelled boonana recently and agree it’s great! Happy shaving my friend! Enjoy!

Thanks for watching man! I’ll be honest and say that a shave lather doesn’t have to be this perfect to get a good shave. I just always enjoyed experimenting with my shave soap and getting the most out of what it can generate. I would say as long as you’re using enough soap, it should perform well.

Thanks so much for watching. I’ve actually never tried Stirling sandalwood, but plan to at some point. Their samples are pretty cheap and a good size if you wanna snag one. Have a great week!

Thanks for watching John! Dude, that would be awesome. Good call. I know PAA has a good one called “space nog”. But a Stirling one would be great. Have a good weekend!

Thanks so much for watching! Totally agree, this is actually one of my favorite scents. I can see how it can be polarizing, but man I just really love the creative direction Stirling took with this one. Killer fall scent. You’re a brave man for using r41 daily. I like to use mine after I need to mow down a lot of growth. Have a good weekend!

Thanks for watching man! I like my hair too much to get rid of it. Maybe one day? But not anytime soon. Hope you have a great week ahead.

Thanks for watching Eric! Yeah, Samhain is a wonderful scent. Happy you enjoy it! I also love hallows from barrister and Mann. That’s another great Halloween scent if you haven’t smelled it. Have a great weekend.

Hi Kaden! Wow, thank you so much for your very kind words! That really means a lot, and encourages me to continue making content. Very much appreciate that and I’m happy you are enjoying my videos! Keep on shaving on brother! This is a wonderful hobby indeed. Hope you have a great weekend as well!

Thanks so much for watching! Agreed! Mild razors with a sharp blade is a solid way to go. I really enjoy using feathers in my Merkur 34c or Edwin jagger de -89. Works well for me if I don’t have too much growth. Hope all is well and enjoy your week!

Hey Shannon, thanks so much for watching! Always appreciate your support and feedback. Happy to hear you started out with Van der hagen products. I also had the soap and I agree it was great. Smelled awesome too. And you’re right, what gear works for one may not be suitable for another person. That’s the beauty of wetshaving is we all have different skin and preferences. I enjoy this razor even though it’s a bit mild for me nowadays. You have a great weekend as well!

@@bluetoast8584 thanks so much for watching! Very happy to hear you’re been enjoying Stirling. They’ve always been my top soap. Definitely natural, and some of their soaps (like bay rum and coniferous) are scented with all essential oils which is awesome too. Nice choices, especially hot apple cider. I’ve been using the bath soap and it is CRAZY good. One of their best. Keep on shaving on brother and have a good week.

Thanks so much for watching! I’m happy to hear you made the return to traditional wet shaving! It’s truly a wonderful hobby with a great community of people. Yeah, using a soap can take longer. But can be done quickly if you add more lots of water at the start instead of what I did which was slowly add water. I just did that for educational purposes so people can see how the process works. It’s also more aimed at hobbyist who enjoy spending time shaving. But yes this method wouldn’t be that efficient if you’re running late to work. But like I said, if you start with a really wet brush instead of a damp one like I did, you will save time. I like to give people soap samples from my tubs, which is a big reason I like to scoop. Also adding water to the tub can reduce the soaps scent over time.

Hi Jack. Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate the support and kind words. I was very pleased with my shave with Jordan’s, it’s great soap. Very happy with how September is turning out in our area. I was at the mushroom festival in Kennett yesterday and it was gorgeous. Hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks so much for watching Michael! I appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video. I hear you on that one. When a good looking soap drops it’s tough not to pull the trigger. But now I’m just appreciating what I have and not focusing on what I don’t have. Hope you enjoy your Sunday as well! Stay cool 😎!

@@borbelyhaz321 thanks so much for watching as well as your continued support man. Yeah, funny you don’t see olive oil much. Another commenter said olive oil breaks down soap if you’re inexperienced in soap making. So I guess Jordan’s really knows that they’re doing. Great soap. You have a good weekend as well!

@@gentbehindascent hey Josh, thanks so much for watching bro. Appreciate the kind words. Looking forward to your Jordan’s video! You have a good weekend!

@@unclelshaves hello Lawrie! Thank you kindly for tuning in, as well as your kind words and feedback. Always appreciate you. I hear you. I know a lot of people say their beard gets scratchy too. Mine doesn’t for some reason, but I like looking professional (and not like a mountain man), so that’ll be my motivation to shave more often. Totally agree about the hobby aspect. You’re so right, men love their hobbies and need one for a healthy mindset in my opinion. As much as I want to keep supporting artisans with my dollar, like yourself my collection has slowed very much. So I appreciate Jordan’s for helping me out with content. Seems like he knows how to use olive oil properly 😎! Have a great weekend my friend.

@@theluxuryshavinghobbyist hey Glenn, thanks so much for tuning in my friend! Yep, ain’t that the truth. We all have a lifetime and a half supply of soap. But it makes us happy, so who cares! You’re not kidding, Jordan’s is great stuff. I’ll have to watch your video on it soon. Really pleased with his soap. Happy to see you’re having a great time and hanging with Tobin. Can’t wait to hear more! Looks like a wonderful trip. You guys enjoy the weekend!

@@DesertShaveDen hey Joseph, thanks so much for watching and the kind words man! Of course, it’s nice giving the little guys some attention. Especially when it’s an artisan I’ve had great interactions with. Happy to support them. Good luck with that Arizona heat 😎. You have a great week as well!

@@seanstapelfeld hey Sean, thanks so much for tuning in man! I’m looking toward to watching your videos! Yeah, I forgot to check if black ship still has them. I hope! Have a great weekend!

@@garys_shave hey Gary! Thanks so much for watching and your kind words! I appreciate that a lot 🔥😎! Cheers right back to you. Enjoy your weekend!

@@abdulthomas6821 thanks for watching Abdul! Haha yeah I’m not sure. I fall into weird shave habits sometimes. My current one seems to be to clear all the hair with one pass. But like you said, it’s not very efficient unless you’re using a super aggressive razor. But the more time shaving, the better. So i need to start getting back to my usual with and against pass routine. Have a great weekend!

@@leeprice9649 hi Lee! Thanks so much for watching, I always appreciate your time and continued support on my content. Fall is indeed nice in PA! Leaves just started to change. Nice weather ahead! You have a great weekend too and stay safe!

@@T-R.e.x thanks so much for watching my friend! Always appreciate your support and feedback. As well as the kind words. I’m glad we both take our lathers seriously, and that you appreciate the lather building process. 😎! This Jordan’s soap is great stuff. Really impressed with it and I’m happy to do my part to put him on the map. Thanks so much for the offer to try the Greek soaps! Yes, I’m in the states :(. But I’m sure at some point I will try one out. I’m happy you are enjoying my videos! Hope you have a good weekend!

@@MikesDoubleEdge hi Mike, thanks so much for tuning in man. I appreciate your kind words very much. Will be watching your videos very soon! Have a great weekend!

@DoubleAshaves your welcome and thank you. You have a great weekend as well.

@@ChadShaves Hi Chad, thanks so much for watching! I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Hope all is well over there! Have a good weekend.

I do at least 100 swirls 😅

Great shave Aaron. Hadn’t heard of Jordans. They picked the right guy to review their soap. First Van der Hagen I’ve seen in use. Fall is in the air in Charlotte as well. Summer has been tough. Until the next episode!

@@jamesagnew6512 thanks for watching James! Yeah good point. I also like using a bunch of soap since I have so much of it. I’ve also found that a large amount of soap is the secret to a great lather. I think too many folks under load the brush to save soap, and as a result they aren’t getting the best lather out of their soap. I haven’t tried that timeless but I’ll check it out. Glad you’re enjoying it, thanks for putting it on my radar. Have a great weekend!

@@T-R.e.x me too man, last time I did a tub load I did like 70 swirls lol. I prefer how my lathers turn out when I use large amounts of soap.

@@autumn1231 hey Doug, thanks so much for watching my friend! Always appreciate you stopping by. Thank you! Jordan’s is great soap. I’m very happy with it. Great soap base and fun scents. Happy to support him. The Van der hagen is so mild compared to what I’m used to, but I got a comfortable shave with it. Summer in PA was brutal as well. Glad it’s over with. Hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks for watching. I would say a normal amount of water on the face would be good. Like if you put your hands under the faucet and got your face wet before lathering. Then wet your face again at the start of the second pass and same with third. The more water the better. I wouldn’t apply my lather to a dry face. Although it could probably work, I still wouldn’t be comfortable doing it.

@@DoubleAshaves As long as the Lather maintains a yogurt-like texture without air bubbles, the more water the better, right?

@@yc-ju9us yeah exactly 👌👌

@@DoubleAshaves Thank you!

Hi Mike, thanks so much for watching! I appreciate the kind and encouraging words. Nowadays I use a pretty decent amount of soap, which seems to me to be the biggest factor in getting a good lather. Lots of soap and slow water additions. Hope you have a great weekend!

@DoubleAshaves your welcome, and I'll have to try that one of these time. And I hope you have a good weekend as well.

Thanks so much for watching my friend! Always appreciate you stopping by! I’m happy you enjoy my method! Yeah, I think the reason I skipped the air bubbles phase is because I started with very little water in the brush. Adding small amounts of water slowly is provides me the best results. Black bowl is a great idea! Thanks for that!! Hope all is well and have a great weekend!

@@DoubleAshaves yeah! I mean something like this (ceramic) ruclips.net/video/CxuInjvtckY/видео.htmlsi=6QnTjdHMbeVEQCzp

@@slippyg thanks for watching! Yeah, m&m is easily one of my top artisans. Love what they do. Have heard good things about nantahala. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll pick up a sample soon. Have a great week.

Thanks so much for watching!! Appreciate that! I’m happy you enjoyed the video! Totally agree about PAA. They definitely make our hobby much more fun and interesting with all of their creations. Hope you have a great weekend!

Thank you for watching brother! This was quite the satisfying shave. Have a good weekend!

@@DoubleAshaves thanks, you too

Thanks so much for watching! Appreciate the kind words! Yeah, I did really have fun with Peter’s method here. It is very satisfying. I think it’s fun to switch things up from my usual bowl lathering. I can see why people prefer this method. I’ve never been a fan of adding water to soap tubs which is why I’m still on team bowl lather. I also like sending people soap samples. Just personal preference, but still definitely gonna be doing this method on my kill tubs. Hope you have a great weekend.

Hi Shannon, thanks so much for watching and commenting. Appreciate the kind words! Yeah, red delicious is a very sweet scent. To me it smells like a fruity kids shampoo. It’s an uplifting scent. Just not my favorite. I think their “hot apple cider” scent replaced it which I enjoy much more. Hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate that a lot! I would say if you’re used to aggressive razors, or even mid aggressive, the r41 is definitely worth a try. You can get just the head from maggards if you want to save some money. My suggestion for a good lather is lots of soap with slow water additions. My observation from watching videos over the years is that most people don’t use enough soap. But most lathers would work fine, this is just how I prefer mine. Hope you have a great weekend.

Hi Chris, thanks so much for watching! I think it could be interesting for me to give a go at some point. I always preferred the look of myself clean shaven, but might switch things up in the future if the mood strikes. Thanks for the encouragement!! I think that could make for a fun video. Anyway, hope you have a great weekend!

@@seanstapelfeld Thanks for watching Sean! Yeah I hear you. That’s why lately I’ve been going the soap sample route instead of buying a whole tub that I know I’ll never get through. Most artisan soap makers (and maggard razors) luckily offer all their stuff in sample size. It’s helpful if you’re like me, constantly wanting to try out new scents. Hope you have a great rest of your week!

@@DoubleAshaves Thank you for that awesome idea! I will do this, probably suits me better because I am like you. Hunting new scents hehe

Hey Joseph, thanks so much for that!! I appreciate it very much. Thanks for tuning in man. Looking forward to watching your video. Have a great rest of your week!

Thanks so much tuning in Carlitos! Appreciate the kind words man! Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of people here mention that cavendish was their first PAA purchase, and even first shave soap in general. It’s a classic for sure, you can’t go wrong. That’s awesome to hear you’ve been in the hobby since back then. I would’ve loved to be around in those days. Crazy how big the market has gotten. You have a great rest of your week!

Thanks so much for watching! I’m happy to hear you have the same thoughts on it. Yeah, I figure if this is my hobby and my “me time”, I might as well have fun with it and take my time. I think enjoyment is way more important than speed. Happy shaves my friend and hope you have a great week!

Thanks very much Mike! I appreciate that and your support on my videos. You have a great day as well!

Thanks so much for watching Michael! Happy to hear you also enjoy using the muhle r41. It’s truly a great razor. Yeah I can see how cavendish can get buried in the den since so many new soaps have been released since then. Mine got really buried too. But I love busting out the classics! You’re not kidding those Wilkinson swords are amazing. I think they are my new favorite blade. You have a great week as well!

Thanks so much Chad! I appreciate that! Very happy you enjoyed the video! Take care man!

Thanks so much for watching Abdul! I appreciate the recommendation. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Henson lately. I gotta look into that. Man you’re not kidding about the Wilkinson Sword blades. They are ridiculously good, I love shaving with them. Might be my new favorite blade. Thanks again for stopping by and hope you have a great rest of your week!
