I did it! I watched ALL of your videos from the very fist one to this one. Took me 8 months to watch them all but it was worth every minute. If you read this I might already have contacted you via facebook for sharing my tribute shave. Stay safe mate.
Like the video. I feel bad that your cruise was cancelled. The blades I used were Kai’s. For me, they are one step above from feathers. I told myself: “don’t use kai’s until your experienced with feathers.” Not one time I have been nicked or cut by Kai blades.
KAI are my favourite. I got introduced to this brand in the early 2000 while visiting Singapore. Bought a few packs of their cartridge two bladed units and they gave me some of my best shaves ever. I even contacted the company direct when ran out of replacement blades and they sent me a few new packs free of charge. I also found some KAI disposables in local Daiso store in Melbourne and stocked up plenty.
Thank you Ken, for another great shave. I'd have gone for the R41 to tackle the goatee but the Fine razor got there. So agree with your final thoughts. It's bad here in Scotland and the UK but science and the clever doctors and scientists will help us out. Until then everyone stay safe and keep shaving!
Hi Ken- Great shave and product reviews; thank you! Nice-looking razor that did the trick on the goatee. Glad to see you are healing well. I hope you have a great weekend ahead. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always!
Welcome back to that clean-shaven look. The operative word for goatee is GO 😉 My SOTD was all Proraso. Love those menthol shaves. Have a safe and nick-free weekend.
Great shave. Glad to see the old clean shaven you once again. The pandemic is still here, but things are getting a little better in my state of Illinois. Life has been busy dealing with college and other stuff, but things are all good for me right now
Shame about the wedding being postponed. Down here things are slowly returning to a new normal as case rates are very low. Went to a beautiful wedding on Sydney Harbour Australia yesterday. Used my Rockwell 6S which always gives a great shave. Enjoy your weekend Ken
@@saevans63 i use the 4 to cut my 3 to 4 day growth down, then the 2 for the second pass. No nicks or irritation either, with cartridge blades i would get a neck full of zits and misery. I am really glad I spent a bit more on the 6s, works infinitely better than my Chinese DE razor I bought to try this.
Disappointing the celebrations had to be postponed but in light of the current circumstances it was a responsible decision by Tom and Cathy. Despite the short term upset it will give you a good excuse to re-grow the goatee in the spring!
Nice shave Ken.. Love the Proraso soaps. That sure looks like a great razor, it may go on the Christmas list. I like the sound of that aftershave; Take care stay safe:-)
Nice to see you shave again! I I checked through your videos and i could not find a video of you shaving with the Gillette Diplomat. Maybe i missed it but if i didnt it would be greatly appreciated if you did one. Great shave as always.
Nice one Ken, I'm fast becoming an advisor economy of stroke. Longer strokes and not repeatedly going over the same bit of skin with lots of little strokes. Far fewer accidents now infact non existent now. All the best pal.
Great video!!! Feather blades for me are a bit less comfortable than plunging my face into a running lawnmower - Lol... I am considering a go with this razor and this video was helpful!
A truly Fine shave Ken! I turned 65 this year and have never gotten a flu shot. Although I am not worried about C-19, I am not pressing my luck by foregoing a flu shot. Why take a chance on getting whammied with a respiratory disease twice! Also, it's free because I am on Medicare. I will wait until October to get the shot because it takes 2 weeks for the antibodies to gain full strength. It will be good enough until April which is the latter end of the flu season Ciao!
Fantastic looking shave Ken!!! I've heard nothing but good things about that razor personally. I'm actually considering getting one myself, but after I try that Henson razor. Have a wonderful day and stay safe!!!
How about Ken you try some new high end gillette cartridge razors? Im intrested what do you think about them, ofc i understand that they cost a lot but if u have sometime some spare money, try em out
I did a review of the skin guard not too long ago. I’m waiting to see if there is a 007 cartridge razor like the one I used when the Spectre exclusive came out
It's such a shame so many events being postponed, however from a purely selfish point of view, it was a good test for the razor taking down the goatee. Nice job Ken 👍
Another awesome video Ken ! I do have a question for you , I frequently cut myself in the second pass. Do you have any suggestions that could help me out ? Thanks :)
Very nice shave. I like the Frank Shaving lava brush. The razor is very nice, but for $163 it is too expensive for me. I was looking at Latigo, sadly no shipping to where i live. And i love the smell of Diesel. 😁👍
I cannot do a full face lather with any soap. By the time I finish one side, the soap has already started drying on the other. And I have a goatee and stach, so it's not like I'm spending time on my chin or under my nose. Happens with all my soaps, be they inexpensive pucks like Williams or VDH, stick (cut to bowl lather) like Arko, or artisan Croats like B&M or PAA.. any tips? I bowl/mug lather. Would a pre-shave help?
Brush - Simpson Commodore, Duke or Colonel in Best badger Soap - Taylor's of The Old Bond Street cream in Eton, Coconut, Avocado or whatever scent you like, and After shave - Speick.
It goes away after 4-5 uses as Carl has stated. The stronger the soap scent the quicker it goes away. Horse hair seems to take the longest to get the smell away
This comment isn’t about your video, but instead a question. I just got back from the dermatologist and due to COVID and other issues, it had been 18 months since I had seen her. I normally see her every six months. Needless to say, I paid for the neglect. She froze about two dozen AKs and precancers. The bad part is she took off three on my cheek and one was pretty large. It’s the first time I’ve had any removed from my cheeks. I recall you having some removed from your cheek and was wondering how long it was before you could shave.
They were my go-to blades for a long time, but not anymore. They are really good blades, and because they are so mild, they are really easy to just toss on and blast through a quick shave when you are running late for work without having to worry about cutting yourself. I think the reason they last for more shaves than other blades, is that they are quite mild to begin with - they don't have that much sharpness to lose compared to sharper ones.
Ken💈💈nice shave. Yeah, the first time I saw this razor and found out the price and country of manufacture🙄, ain't happening. Not apologizing for my opinion, I'll stick with Fine software as it's really good. Glad the Nitro freeze healed up good, no blood letting😊 Proraso speaks for itself👌 Great video as always. Stay healthy and...Enjoy!
Good shave, Ken. That razor seems a bit expensive at that price. And for me, Feather blades are just too sharp to shave comfortably with, regardless the razor and soap combo I use. Might give that Fine Latigo aftershave a whirl. Be well my friend.
any recommendations for shaving soaps, creams, etc. and brushes for cartridge razor? im sticking w my cartridge for now, but i want to start w some of those items to make the experience more enjoyable. any favorites? thanks!
Poraso red cream, cheap, easy to lather and very slick. In terms of brushes, go synthetic cheaper, excellent performers. Maggards, Frank shaving, west coast shaving etc all sell excellent brushes under $20
In my experience cartridges work best with shave butter. A thick lather tends to gunk them up badly. For years I used Barbasol with carts and was always banging them against the sink. When I switched to DE I noticed Barbasol tended to work better with DE safety razor. If you must use a brush and soap with carts a thin very wet lather works best with carts. IMHO YMMV
It's a bummer that such an expensive razor came in bags instead of a nice case like the Rockwell 6S. Heck, that razor is more than the Rockwell 6S and you only get a razor in bags and no adjustable plates or razor blades.
I’m hearing that a lot lately. It appears that they add more when the channels get popular. I was sick of skipping them, so I went to RUclips premium. I do apologize
Kensurfs thanks Ken. You have nothing to apologise for! I think it’s RUclips’s way of creating more premium memberships but it’s unfair on the hard work that creators put into their videos.
'World's Finest Razor'? At that price, it's competing with the likes of the Feather AS-D2, Karve Stainless Steel and Rockwell 6S, and the new GSCl Sierra redefines stainless steel value. I'm going to pass on the Fine.
RUclips puts them on now. I think once the channel gets popular they see it as a way to advertise. I have no control on what commercials they add. I actually upgraded to RUclips plus so I don’t have to watch them. Only control I have is if I can make them skip able which I do. How has everything been going? I hope you are staying safe. I had a Covid scare 12 days ago that I’ll talk about after I hit 14 days on a video. We had a couple over for a visit and he had Covid. I’ve been sweating it for the last 12 days. So far so good🙏🙏
@@kensurfs Oh that explains it very well. Thank you. I appreciate you setting it up to skip commercials. I shave and listen to your videos. So sometimes it hard to put up with the commercials. We're very good. My fingers are crossed for you. We need to keep Kensurfs healthy. I'll always be a fan of the Kensurfs channel. I've enjoyed the pinball, trips, guns and watch reviews. Good luck!

cool razor, nice shave Ken !!!

Shame about the wedding being postponed. Down here things are slowly returning to a new normal as case rates are very low. Went to a beautiful wedding on Sydney Harbour Australia yesterday. Used my Rockwell 6S which always gives a great shave. Enjoy your weekend Ken
I love my 6s, bought it a couple of weeks ago. I am quite new to wetshaving but am really enjoying it. What nr plate do you use?
Vincent Schuit I’m using the R3 plate as I shave daily. No nicks or irritation
@@saevans63 i use the 4 to cut my 3 to 4 day growth down, then the 2 for the second pass.
No nicks or irritation either, with cartridge blades i would get a neck full of zits and misery. I am really glad I spent a bit more on the 6s, works infinitely better than my Chinese DE razor I bought to try this.
Vincent Schuit I don’t think I will ever need to buy another razor.
Thanks Steve. Stay Safe
I am looking forward to seeing what you think about the Henson Razor.
👍👍
Great shave... stay safe 👍
Thanks Rick👍💈
Hey Ken good to see you again.
Have a great weekend

Another Fine shave Ken

Nice video Ken. Looks like a good razor. We're back in lockdown in areas of the UK again. Looking forward to your next video. Stay safe.

Glad to see you're back, Kensurfs! I was missing you last week!
Thank you👍💈
Nice one mate
Thank you👍💈
Disappointing the celebrations had to be postponed but in light of the current circumstances it was a responsible decision by Tom and Cathy. Despite the short term upset it will give you a good excuse to re-grow the goatee in the spring!
They have moved it to November now..I’ll be growing the MOVEMBER goatee..lol
Good to see you in action again!
👍💈💈
Excellent shave Ken. I will state yo shave with a safety razor.
Your videos help me learn the ritual of a classic shaving
Thank you👍💈
Nice shave Ken.. Love the Proraso soaps. That sure looks like a great razor, it may go on the Christmas list. I like the sound of that aftershave; Take care stay safe:-)
You too, stay safe👍💈
Excellent shave! Stay safe down there in SoCal!
Thank you👍💈
Used Proraso Green pre and soap today as well. Stay safe Ken!
👍💈💈
Hi Ken, consider picking up a tube of Prorasso Gel Riparatore. Small tub os 10ml. Great for those stubborn nicks or weepers! Good video.
👍💈💈
Great review Ken. I pre-ordered Barrister and Mann's Hallows soap and aftershave balm so I am looking forward to trying it out when it arrives.
Awesome👍💈💈
Hey Ken, as always a great video. Keep it up and greetings from Germany ;-)
Nice to see you shave again! I I checked through your videos and i could not find a video of you shaving with the Gillette Diplomat. Maybe i missed it but if i didnt
it would be greatly appreciated if you did one.
Great shave as always.
That’s one vintage Gillette I’m still on the lookout for👍💈
Nice one Ken, I'm fast becoming an advisor economy of stroke. Longer strokes and not repeatedly going over the same bit of skin with lots of little strokes. Far fewer accidents now infact non existent now. All the best pal.

I have never used a safety razer before. I bought a viking. Razor and hopefully. It's a good one.
Let me know how it goes
@@kensurfs it's working great. Nice close shave.
Oh no! I was liking the goatee!
It will be back in movember..👍👍
Thanks Ken for another FINE video! Just wondering, in the future, could you give the MSRP of each item?
Sounds good👍👍
Another awesome video Ken ! I do have a question for you , I frequently cut myself in the second pass. Do you have any suggestions that could help me out ?
Thanks :)
If I wasn’t doing the videos on camera, one pass usually does the trick. Or consider a milder razor/blade combo
Hey Ken, What was the block you used on the cut that you said tightens the pores?
Alum block. It stops cuts. I have the PAA and the Omega
Great shave Ken, stay safe!
Thanks Jeff
Love these videos Ken. Razor looks good but its very expensive for one made in China!

I’d add a lot more water to a soap like Proraso. That way it doesn’t dry too quickly
Which shaving brush, shaving soap and after shave are the best you can recommend?
Brush - Simpson Commodore, Duke or Colonel in Best badger
Soap - Taylor's of The Old Bond Street cream in Eton, Coconut, Avocado or whatever scent you like, and
After shave - Speick.
Razor for me..Merkur 34G, TOB’s Grapefruit, Fine Platinum are my go-to’s
Hey Ken any tips for making a boar brush scent go away
I lather regular hair shampoo 4 or 5 times and then use a stronger scented soap like Taylors. It usually goes away pretty quickly.
It goes away after 4-5 uses as Carl has stated. The stronger the soap scent the quicker it goes away. Horse hair seems to take the longest to get the smell away
Crackin’ shave! As a round beard wearer I’m partial to that style and I think you look great with it. Just sayin! 🤠
Cheers 🍻!

Oh I love that phrase “ but not today “ Hannibal Lectre said that to Clarice. Great shave Mr English skin, love it.

Very very like it your make video

Thoughts on the Derby Extra blades? I have rather mild razors, and this is the only blade I found that stays sharp through 2-3 shaves.
How about Gillette 7o clock yellow ones.. 👍 👍 👍
They work pretty good for me
They were my go-to blades for a long time, but not anymore. They are really good blades, and because they are so mild, they are really easy to just toss on and blast through a quick shave when you are running late for work without having to worry about cutting yourself.

I know it's not wet shaving related, but what's your favorite surf board?
In the old days it was “infinity”. I had a short board and one of their skateboards👍👍I’m not sure if they are still in business
You look younger with the goatee!!
Thank you. It will be back in movember

Thanks Terry, you were not the only person with the similar comment 👍👍
what is the best brand of alum block??
Osma
Oh man, that’s subjective. I have Omega, EJ, and Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements. One good thing is they last years.
What would you liken the Latigo scent to? I don’t have any “leather” scented splashes or soaps
This was my first leather scent that really had the hint of leather. I havent tried others. Lots of tobacco scents but not leather
So what did your wife think of the scent?? I'm thinking of getting that aftershave. I like fine products
This is absolutely the real question, I am so curious 😅
She like it. The PAA Diver Down was her favorite lately
Good shave, Ken. That razor seems a bit expensive at that price. And for me, Feather blades are just too sharp to shave comfortably with, regardless the razor and soap combo I use. Might give that Fine Latigo aftershave a whirl. Be well my friend.
👍👍💈💈💈
The "Latigo" I remember was the name of the James Garner character in the movie "Support Your Local Gun Fighter" .
That’s where I heard it👍👍👍👍👍
Reminded me of the movie Hocus Pocus... "He has a little woman"
I got my flu shot Ken, staying safe for sure!

Andres Jurado thanks! gives me a great place to start looking
Fukushima Daiichi thanks! i didnt even consider the thickness of lather having an effect on the cart
I like the Proraso Green because of the Menthol Scent. A good synthetic brush will last you for years and is a little less $$ than a badger
No business card test no proof hahah awesome shave !
Lol
La tee go!

You could have kept with an Italian theme, and pronounced it "Lateego". Good shave Ken.

“Remember my son?” *tap tap tap* 🤣

I do like the plate variety offered with the 6S
Great shave Ken, I still wouldnt pay $164 for that razor....stay safe out there second waves of corona virus hitting the rest of the world🇿🇦👍
The expensive razors I equate to guys who want expensive sports cars..lol. 👍💈💈
Forth wave here in Israel :(
Movember is coming so we will see the goatee again

-And....(*sighs* please dont kill me please dont cut me) a feather blade.

Thanks Ken! This razor is on my list to purchase. Like Mike commented before, I too am looking forward to your review on the Henson.
The Henson razor was a very nice surprise. Very smooth👍👍
