Thanks to you, I started dipping my razor in cold water when I shave, and I'm very happy with the results. But can you tell me how this cold razor works?
Hi geofatboy...your videos are amazing....I want to order the Simpson t3 trafalgar brush, but it is difficult to order them in germany...how much is the shipping to germany when I order the brush from you? many greetings and nice shaves...😊😊
Question Geo. Is it better to lather whole puck into my mug? Or cut a piece off & put into mug then lather? I kno people do both, but what's better? I'm asking u bc ur the professional, thank u for ur time Geo!!
@geofatboy I didn't know if you were doing it on purpose or not. Maybe you should keep doing it. I really enjoy all of your content. A-low could be a Geo tag line. Thanks for all you do.
Does this actually put on enough pressure while shaving since this is single edge razor... I consider double edge razors are more heavier than this! I understand blades also takes an active part for smooth shave but as far as razor's performance concern, how it is comparing with double edge razors
I have started using warm water as everyone suggested but I didn't feel any difference. Also I don't find putting warm towel on my face helpful as it gets cold within 3-4 seconds. What am I doing wrong?
Nice shave and review. Any SE razor that uses standard half-DE blades is a winner in my book. Also, that bowl mishap was very ASMR! BTW, what happened to the dark goatee?
Hi Geofatboy, i understand that single edge blades work differently to DEs, the sharpness on the single edge goes quickly, sometimes after one shave and in some cases the Barber has to replace the blade while half way thru shaving a customer. Thanks for the video. All the Best... Btw, you didn't really smash your bowl did you, thought those ones were indestructible?
Is the any side overhang from the blade when it is loaded? Did not look like it from what I could see. Looks like a very nice SE razor, I’m curious how it compares to the Leaf “Thorn” or “Twig”. I have both and use the “Thorn” when I have several days growth, the “Twig” can definitely by a daily driver. Cheers Geo!
Please tell me whether it Smoother or more Aggressive than Parker 78r ? You rated this at Aggressiveness of 6, then how much would you rate Parker 78r on Aggression. I have Parker 78r, and want to compare both. Thanks.
@geofatboy thank you very much for replying 🙂. I really like this razor, I want to buy it. Parker 78r is the ultimate for aggression on my skin. Will Solo Edge effect more harshly on my face or it's aggression will be negligible compared to Parker 78r ? It will be very helpful in deciding, if you would reply. Thank you.
@@raystar9724 Watch this review bit.ly/Parker78RrazorSN of the 78R and you can choose which suits you better. You are comparing a 3-piece double edge razor to a single edge razor.
What’s the benefit of a single edge razor? Isn’t that half as good as a double edge razor? What’s the point? But, to each their own and ymmv! Great video, as always. Keep ‘em coming!
I have no doubt that it is a quality razor, and should in theory shave as well as a quality de razor because we obviously only use one side of a de blade at a time. I was just curious how there could be a benefit in a se blade? Believe me when I say that I’m all in on a solid razor rotation! Conceivably too far in! 😂 What used to be a chore is now a passion. I have learned a lot from these videos and continue to enjoy them. Thanks.
I have an old GEM single edge razor that is much more aggressive than my other DE razors. I use that when I’ve let my hair grow for a while and need something more aggressive. But I agree about not seeing the point of the half DE single edge design unless in a shavette type razor that mimics a straight edge. But aesthetics are certainly a factor.
Geo … Another great shaving vid made in your inimitable style , For my part I would urge you to ditch the goatee , you don't need the look and … we get half a shaving vid ! mentioned with affection .
🇿🇦 Bad news .. saw on another shaving channel snapping a double edge blade to use on this razor. Some blades snap / break uneven and had to do a work arround to find a way to fix the issue to use the snapped blade. The issue is because of the uneven snap and because the design of the head of the razor the edge / cut side of the blade don't appear or petrude even .. blade is not seated even! Don't say it is going to happen every time but just a headsup to look out for it!!😳
@@jefife750 try the Leaf Twig or Thorn (single edge razors) .. no issues accept for the handles tend to get a bit slippery .. but .. no other issues. You won't be sorry .. 😉
I don't understand why anyone would want a single-ledge safety razor. Double edge just the same how hard is it to use the other side! But each to their own
You are correct. It's the "hobby" aspect. It may not be logical but it is fun to have a variety of razors. Maybe the single edge is for those who confuse easy and can't remember which side they just used.
Yeah, one channel is about two years old, and has said such things like “I don’t own a shop, I’m not trying to sell you anything like Geo or some others, I’m only going to be honest”. It’s an obvious backhand approach to try and disqualify guys like Geo, Matt and others. They act like they aren’t in it for anything, but they are trying to build subscriptions. Which is fine, but he shouldn’t do it by trying to knock down “originals” that made them want to get into the hobby in the first place. I immediately block any Channel that says stuff like that. It’s disrespectful iMo. And they only want subscriptions so they can get monetized. People that put down others to build themselves up are personalities that I will avoid. Geo is one of the best🙏🏼💪🏼

Nice shave and beautiful razor. Reminds me of a Henson with a single edge. 👍
Good observation- I can see that.
This looks like a pretty nice razor, 🪒thanks for sharing your video, have a wonderful day eh 💈
Thanks Brian, Have a good one!
Great video Geo ! If I keep watching these videos I’m gonna need more room !

It shaves great very heavy
Great-Thanks for sharing.
Thanks to you, I started dipping my razor in cold water when I shave, and I'm very happy with the results. But can you tell me how this cold razor works?
Hi Chan-I think that the cold water tightens the skin and makes it less sensitive allowing the razor to glide more easily.
Love the Cold Water Shaving! ruclips.net/video/FtOYeiNRPWM/видео.html
Nice shave Geo !! Sorry about that bowl !!! may it rest in piece(s) !! Have a great day and smooth shaves !
Good one! Thank you for your condolences.
Could you say, “ and now some champagne music”. It’s like watching Lawrence Welk shave.
I've heard that expression but never watched the show. Did he really shave during it?

It's easier and faster to swirl the brush on the soap then go to the bowl or face lather.
@@geofatboy OK thx bro!!
Shoulda have used the undestructa-bowl :D I'm sorry for the loss! It's hard to lose an old shaving friend.
You're right! But that's why they call it an accident. It was unexpected.
Hi geo. I recently bought 1 of these razors. When I clean it using dish liquid will it lose any of its magnetic effect
Dish lotion will not reduce magnetic force
Great video Geo! When the bowl dropped, I was instantly reminded of the broken vase on The Brady Bunch! 😂 Have any super glue?
I have super glue, it ended up in 3 pieces, could glue it but it's not worth the time. I'll save the glue for first aid purposes!
A-low and vitamin E. Love it.

You do have to apply slight pressure to the skin for it to work properly since it's so light (aluminum) but it's no big deal and it shave nice!
Which SE is more aggressive on your scale? Yaqi Katana or Parker Solo?
I don't won any Yaqi razors...
Only one pass with him ? Wow ! 😲
Great video Geo can you review the Bovem Align safety razor?
Haven't heard of that one...
I have started using warm water as everyone suggested but I didn't feel any difference. Also I don't find putting warm towel on my face helpful as it gets cold within 3-4 seconds.
What am I doing wrong?
It's not a warm towel-it's a HOT towel that a barber uses when they shave you...
Thanks for responding. Tried that today, I think as my beard not very dense I don't feel that much of a difference.
Great video. Can you please do a comparison between the solo edge & leaf Twing razor.
Good suggestion. As soon as we get them back in stock. Thanks!
Nice shave and review. Any SE razor that uses standard half-DE blades is a winner in my book. Also, that bowl mishap was very ASMR! BTW, what happened to the dark goatee?
Thanks! Magically, I shaved it off and it grew back!
How much more aggressive is this than the 34c?

Some of the bowls are still ceramic (cost less) hence the crash! Thanks for sharing.
How would it get under the nose ?

I'd never do just one pass - I'd just use an electric razor for that. If I shave with a blade, I'm shaving to get a very close shave.
Electric razors don't work on my beard...
@geofatboy that's interesting - what actually happens when you apply the electric razor to your beard? Perhaps it would make an entertaining video! 🤣
Some people just can't get bbs without ingrown hairs and electric razor can also cause irritation
