Lovely stuff Paul. I find these so relaxing to watch as well. It's great you can still get Brut and Old Spice. I notice Denim is still around and Blue Stratos to name but 2.❤ Dad used to use Palmolive cream in a tube. But in his later years he did change to Gillette Gel and a Bic disposable. But my memories are of his brush, cream and proper razor from when I was young. Dad also had dementia which like you said is tough. Dad could still sing and remember the words from old 40s and 50s songs but not recognise me. ❤
Happy New Year to you, Mrs. H and of course Millie too. You are a lot braver than I am using setting 6 on the Futur 🤣. Great shave as always and a great razor.
It was definitely a close New Year's Day shave! Mrs. H rings in the New Year with her always beautiful floral display. My SOTD was Stirling Spice (an Old Spice homage) using my Rockwell 6S with a Wilkinson Sword (India) blade. Our New Year's Day meal is the traditional ham, collard greens, and black-eyed peas, which symbolize prosperity and good luck. I wish you and Mrs. H a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous 2025!
Good morning Paul and Lowri, I wish you a healthy new year. Fantastic the bouquet of flowers from your wife. I am very happy about the selected shaving articles. I love Brut, the scent of King Elvis. I hope that you will produce more videos this year. From the bottom of my heart I wish you both much success and health. Warm greetings from Germany to Wales. 💞😊🥂💈💈🪒☕
Happy New Year, Paul! SOTD will be A&E 60s Cologne, a nice dup of Brut. Will use my birth year razor, 1977 Gillette Super Adjustable with a Lord Super Chrome blade. This has become my favorite blade! Will follow it up with Brut aftershave, of course. It's also our 23rd anniversary, so I want to be well-groomed for our nice dinner.
That brush is gorgeous, and although I'm an American if I had known of it I would have bought one. Simpsons are the best brushes and I have nine of them, badger and synthetic. My favorite is my M7 Sovereign in ivory.
I just shave the first time with the futur, im not a pro but have a litle experience and have the best shave(long but the best) of my Life! I learn that on 1 (i didnt pass that) you just have to find the Angel and is perfect!!! A lot more Heavy that my Fort Tempus razor Style Gillete but i went calm and easy and it was great!!! You have the blade feel só you know if is on Angle! I Will love this razor more that I do rigth now no doudt!!! For the first time i do the 3 passes with no irritacion!!! I had two razões before that! Thank you Have a fantastic year 2025 with faltastic shaves!!!
I did my shave imaging smell of brut as i ain't have any 😂..it worked out well..with my mercur progress n wilkinson sword blade with art of shaving bergomant shave cream.. happy new year to all guys reading my comment as u all r here for same reason.. easing out stress
Happy New Year! Great shave for the first day of 2025! Love the brush, great razor! Flowers are a true treat this time of year, getting chilly in east Tennessee again. Very nice scents, love Brut, hope the storms were not too bad. Nice to stay in with all the activities.
Yesterday I did my Last 2024 shave, was a french themed one: Martin de Candre fougère as a soap, Gibbs 17 original ajustable, badger brush and Crossman aftershave.... Happy 2025 to you both ❤❤. All the best ❤
Happy and healthy New Year, Paul! After ringing in the New Year at midnight with my family, I headed to the bathroom for a shave. My setup included a Merkur 34G razor paired with a Feather blade, HAGS Conclusion shaving soap and splash, and a Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm synthetic brush.
Nicely done Paul💈💈 Starting the new year off right with Brut for sure. Wonderful flowers from Mrs H as usual, thanks to her for that. Hope you both have a fantastic 2025!
Awesome start to a new year! I have promised myself I would not buy any shaving stuff in 2025. You know, trying to get out of the rabbit hole haha. However, I really want the Merkur Future Gold... Dang... Maybe just one purchase to start the new year...
Hey Paul! Happy New Year to you and your lovely wife! Thank you so much for all your videos in 2024! I am definitely looking forward to your content in 2025! I am inquiring if you could do a shave using all your oldest gear? Maybe your oldest Gillette razor, vintage Williams, etc.? Keep up the great work! Thanks, JimG
Happy New Year Gorgeous flowers displayed made by Mrs.H. great shaving video yeah sents trigger the memory last night rainy here in Denmark today windy with gus of wind raining stay safe cheers.......Peter
Great shave. I always think some of the best shaves are using the classics. Including the classic after shaves. Theres a reason these things have been around so many years. my own sotd today was a classic as well. My 56 gillette superspeed, with a rockwell blade. And proraso green soap, and skin bracer. Perfectly smooth shave. Have a great new years
Happy New Year. My SOTD was the Oliblade Blue set at 3.5 with a first use Rex Platinum and PAA’s The Shaving. It was a very pleasant first shave of 2025.
Very cool looking shave bowl. I've now been subbed for over a decade and that could be one of the coolest items on this channel yet, imho. Can not forget about the Delta Echo Fatboy, of course.
Bravo Paul, a wonderful New Year's shave for the books. It might be fun to look back at your New Year's shaves from the beginning days of your channel. It is a good thing that none of us are growing older (lol) AND, just think of how much wet shaving experience we bring to the table for future generations. I wonder if Mrs. H has a copy of Sir Winston's paintings. It is quite good...he would have loved today's arrangement. By the way (BTW), later this year, his six volume memoir of the Second World War may rise to the top of my reading bucket list. Congratulations on your new Turkish shaving bowl. It is a beauty...enjoy it in good health as you should also do with the Merkur Futur and King Charles Coronation Brush, all first class tools for use by a gentleman such as yourself. Lastly, based on your review this past Sunday, I have ordered a Facon Safety Razor from Amazon...will keep you posted on my experience with it using the Facon blades. Like any other razor (as you like to say) each is slightly different and deserves respect re handling and performance. I learned this from you at the re-launch of my wet shaving journey in 2013. As always, you have my compliments, kindest personal regards and best wishes for a happy and HEALTHY 2025. Mrs. K sends her best as well. Charles K.
Happy New Year to you and your better half. SOTD Stirling Christmas Eve, Stirling razor standard plate. Voskhod 1st. use. BBS. Thayers Rose witch hazel. Cologne was Rayhan Ocean Rush. Hope this is is great.
Great video Paul Happy new year to you all, i've been away from D.E shaving for a few years but am starting to get back into it again chucked thte cartridge razors out again...All the best Mark.
Happy new year paul, and everyone who follows you. I know brut is hard to get, I find Arko hydrate works well with brut, doesn’t smell like brut but definitely along those lines with little hints of brut, even has green on the tube for the enthusiasts. I’ve used it a few times and finish of with brut aftershave and it’s a winner. Owen in New Zealand 🇳🇿
It could have been a wonderful shave , if the third pass plus pickups were dropped . However it is an ideal video for those wishing to promote skin irritation and ingrown hairs
Happy new Year. Talking nostalgia I use Brut deodorant at this time of year because it reminds me of Christmas in the 80s (Just turned 50) It’s the modern deodorant version but still takes me back. I had an original can of Slazenger Sport too but I used it up and haven’t found another.
Happy New Year to you both. S.O.T.D. Rex Envoy, Nacet blade,, Simpson brush, Parmolive shave soap not cream (grated and pressed in a pressed in a bowl) toner, post shave and after shave. Shame they stopped Parmolive shave soap I think it is as good as many expensive soaps. Best wishes.
Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
A trick to prevent that is using spray shower cleaner! I use it after each use of my razors! It is designed for all different metals so it won't harm your equipment! I rinse off my razor, spray the cleaner all over it, let it sit for a couple of minutes, then rinse off and dry with microfiber cloth. It works out beautifully!
You did say respect the razor didn't you ? I dont think it respected you too much today 😂 Three passes? plus pickup's? With a futur?? Really??? Renember ... Respect the razor , and respect your skin . It will thank you in the end . A maximum of two passes should be enough . Try it out !

SOTD restored Genco heavy straight with razo rock lime soap and clubman lime sec aftershave. Smooth and comfortable.
Marvellous shave! I was inspired to get the Futur by one of your vids (you used a Feather on level 6!) and it is now one of my favourite razors.
Happy New Year, Paul!
SOTD will be A&E 60s Cologne, a nice dup of Brut. Will use my birth year razor, 1977 Gillette Super Adjustable with a Lord Super Chrome blade. This has become my favorite blade! Will follow it up with Brut aftershave, of course.

My gran used my grandads brut to clean the toilet 😂when i was younger
No new years neck brace joke? 😂
Thought you would have made one about partying too hard
Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Is it normal to get a layer of hard scum to build up on your razor?
A trick to prevent that is using spray shower cleaner! I use it after each use of my razors! It is designed for all different metals so it won't harm your equipment! I rinse off my razor, spray the cleaner all over it, let it sit for a couple of minutes, then rinse off and dry with microfiber cloth. It works out beautifully!
When I quit drinking, I quit staying up until midnight. New year's day is much more fun without a hangover.
You did say respect the razor didn't you ?
I dont think it respected you too much today 😂
Three passes? plus pickup's? With a futur?? Really???
Renember ...
Respect the razor , and respect your skin . It will thank you in the end . A maximum of two passes should be enough .
Try it out !
Nice shave Paul
Happy New Year to you and to Mrs
