"If it was easy girls would do it" - LMAO. How much flak did you get for that comment, Geo? HAHAHA!!!
Made me laugh too!
face shaving is the last stronghold of men :)

I told him I hope his wife wasn’t going to see this or he’s in trouble😬

Geo I wanted to say thanks because my dad never taught me to shave and I was stuck with scaring my face with cheap disposable razors. Now that I have seen your videos I'm using a straight razor and have learnt a lot
Dear Geo,
This video has helped me realising one of my dreams. I always wanted to shave with a shavette razor ever since I visited a barber Shop. I live in India and its a country on the shaving map. I wanted to shave with a shavette all my life. Whenever I went and told a barber that I wanted to learn using a shavette they used to tell me that I will end up seriously wounding myself it always made me envy them. Today I have completed my twentieth shave i.e one full tuck of blade. A big thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
I appreciate how complimentary you are and encouraging to all of us new folks. Thanks for being the voice of confidence to us.
Must have watched this about 20 times before giving my first run at it tonight. I've always been a die hard safety razor fan.
This was a completely different animal all together! Managed to complete a 3 pass shave with only 2 nicks on my chin that were easily cleared with some alum. Baby Butt Smooth with the exception of my chin. I'm sure more experience will yield even better results.
Thanks for the videos! Geo Rocks! :)

Thanks! Only 2 small chin-nicks on your first shave?
That's pretty good. Yep, each upcoming shave will see an improvement in technique and end result.
Try to get your chin as flat as possible with facial movements or by stretching it with your free hand. Enjoy!
+geofatboy 2 passes and 2 almost invisible nicks using cheapo amazon shavette. I only have a slight problem under my neck. Hair grows east to west and its hard to angle it right to cut that last bit of stubble.

Review of Parker shavette 21:43
I'm 25 and now realize that i've never had a decent shave in my life. Time to get real about it.
Hey! Im interested to know how that went for you? Any updates?
Andy Freeman andy my boy how u been mannn i miss u bro
Using proper razors will save you big money as the years pass.
He’s my cuzzo poor Andy freeman got hurt so bad by that razor
@@calixxlivin i tried a straight razor shave, knicked my carotid, bled out and died. I'm typing this from heaven and am fully bearded now.
This guy has taught me how to shave with a straight razor as well a safety razor, this man taught me what my dad did not
Thanks Akshay! I'm happy to help!
pretty rare for me to add to comments, but got to be said.... thanks to this (and other) vids, took the plunge and got myself a basic shavette (sanguine coolcut 4) and the other bits and bobs (soap, shave oil... decent brush). First results were NOT great... but after the first week, it's finally sinking in that prepration is key and it's not a five minute "scrape the fuzz" job we get tricked into having with the "5 blade mach 25" that some manufactures would have us believe is what shaving is all about... Today was the first "proper full shave" attempt. Result?... Baby smooth shave, even after 10+ hours after... no nasty red bits of irritation on the more sensitive areas. Don't think I'll be going back to over-priced cartridge systems any time soon. Thanks for the vids - keep up the good work.
A great instructional video. I bought a straight razor years ago and cut myself to ribbons. I just bought a shavette and tried it out tonight after a few beers. Very smooth shave and only a couple of pretty minor nicks.
I will carry on practising. Nothing feels quite as good.
By the way, it was Sergeant Esterhaus on Hill Street Blues who used to say that!
I just started shaving with a straight razor style blade and bought a shavette a few weeks ago. Super sharp and can go through my 5 day growth just like in this video. I do three passes and its so smooth, such a great shave. Definitely recommend it.
Geo,
I just finished my first shave with my first straight razor...you sir are a master! I dont know what i was doing before tonight but it wasnt shaving. And I gotta say you make it look so easy, only those brave souls that have tried this themselves know just how skilled you are. THANK YOU for these vids!!!!
Did you figure it out yet
Every time he shaved his chin area I found myself pulling the same face as him.
I just bought this Parker shavette from Shave Nation. I've been using a straight edge for about 15-years. I gotta be honest - and I feel like I'm cheating - but the shavette is a much better shave! Those Feather blades are as sharp and perfect as possible. I've got a kit that looks somewhat like what Geo is showing in the background. I don't know if I'll every use them again.
Just shaved with this razor for the first time, which was also my first straight razor shave. 1st pass with the Parker Shavette, and second pass with my Merkur DE razor. A few drops of blood later and I'm pretty satisfied with my performance. :-) Can't wait for my beard to grow back so I can get some more practice!
Just used a shavette for the first time. I have the cuts to prove it. This video is helping me learn from my mistakes. LOL
Yup me too, I know my technique needs improvement but I wonder if the skin has to get used to this type of shaving. Even when I don’t cut myself my skin is red when I’m done.
Amazing. I watched this a couple of times before buying a Dovo Shavette and I bled a little bit around the bottom of the neck but in general, it was a nice, close shave and I really enjoyed using it. I also managed a horizontal cut on the left landing strip and I don't know how that happened but, as the barmaid at my local pub said, chicks dig scars!
I left it a few days and shaved with my Above The Tie single edge safety razor which gave a perfect shave but it just wasn't as interesting to use.
Thanks for the lesson Geo.
if u think this is easy think again, this guy is top notch. this is the hardest yet the best shave , if u master this u get the closest shave nothing else comes even close,it takes more time than the straight razor , and u don't have to sharpen anything, but until u master this expect a lot of blood and have a styptic pen around all the time.one thing u can do if u re in a hurry is: shave with the straight razor and go against the grain on the cheeks with a shavette
+Laz N First time shaving and only 2 nicks no blood. Don't know why you're saying there should be an expectation of blood. On the other hand, after finishing I did cut my finger by doing something stupid. There was a drop of blood then lol
I don't have a beard. Or really any facial hair.
Yet I watch all of these videos. THEY'RE SO CALMING.
I just got one of these!! I wanted to try out straight razor shaving and thought this would be a good cheap way to see if it was for me. I'm so glad to see you review this razor and to find out that I it's an acceptable implement.
Thanks for all your great videos! They've been very informative and have helped me realize that I'd been doing a few things incorrectly. I'll definitely come you way when it's time for me to upgrade to an actual straight razor.
Thanks again,
TJ
I hear you man, had the same - 1. technique - comes with times so take breakes between razor shaves, you will improve massively with time but give your skin time to regenerate from abuse :) 2. razor burn balm (pre shave) 3 soothing lather like Proraso 4 . dont give up !
thank you soon much. I shaved with a Parker for the first time today after watching some of your videos and I didn't cut myself. and the shave was such a memorable experience. I can't thank you enough.
thank you I just got my first Shavette Straight Razor and have watch a few videos ,yours are the best and with what I have learned from you I feel I have a better understanding on how to do it the right way
Thank for this really good video! I am 42 and I try my first time straight razor and I am impressed about the perfect result. Ok, a lot of small cuts ; ) but for the first time I think normal. Thank you again without your video much more cuts and never such a good result! Greetings from Croatia!
I have to ask mate did the Gillette ad bring you to the straight razor ? Because that's what brought me here I've had this same type razor for two weeks now but still to scared to try it
Hey Geo, I ordered this razor from you and shaved it for the first time today. I've been getting into DE shaving over the past few weeks and wanted to give this a try. While it was kind of scary and I have to relearn how my hands work I have to say that I really enjoyed shaving with this. I did cut myself a few times because I can be a bit shaky but my second and third passes were waaaaaay better than my first. Very close shave and I enjoyed the challenge. Thanks for everything!
For the experience, it makes a boring task interesting. I look forward to shaving with my shavette every day, whipping up a nice lather, and getting the closest shave i can every time, it's fun stuff!!!!
This is my first straight razor and been using this Parker for about 3 months, and pretty much like it.
gonna toss your other razor ? LOL
Yes, I donated my plastic razors to a donation box, but still use my electric for quick touch ups when time is short.
Just finished my first go with this, what a harrowing experience! I struggled thru 1 rough pass, felt more like I was scraping than shaving. I'll keep at it, thanks for all your videos, they help tremendously!
blh6393 it's very important you figure out which way your beard grows... you want to start shaving with the grain at first. Also beard prep is very important as it helps the razor do it's job. Then you need to find the right angle which works for you. But I can assure you, with practice your shaves will improve and you will be a master at this in no time.
Ive been using a cheap Shavette from ebay and some TreeT blades 10..and i got 5 7oclock gillette sharpedge blades free he was a awesome guy...must say i like TreeT alot better. I wasCutting every shave until a monthish of using a shavette nothing bad just lil slices from pressure..now ive pre much got the down pass with no cuts just minor dots..just tried a under pass hahaha shred myself :D will keep working on it..but even 1 pass down is still awesome and a better shave than a mach 3...also DE blades are so damned cheap its stupid and they last a few shaves making it even cheaper..i just use once to twice throw out cus they r cheap enough..i have bad nerves And shakes i have aspergers so if i can do it...you can! Your videos help me alot everytime i watch themI learn something new that i didnt pick up. :) good stuff geo
LOL...I was going to order this for my brother's birthday...had no idea shaving for men can be so complicated!
i have one of these and they are very good!! in the uk we can get 50 de derby blades (100 shavette blades) for about £5 and with Taylor of Old Bond Street just a 20 min journey away, I was ready to go!!
definitely recommended for those looking to get into shaving with a single blade
The look of surprise near the end shows how impressed you are with the razor.
Just bought myself a shavette and will be waiting until the end of this week before I shave. Tired of the ingrown hairs and irritation the disposable razors give me so for more comfort I'm willing to invest some more time. Thanks for the tips!
Yeah trust me, i look forward to every shave. It's a bit tricky and nerve racking to learn, but if you buy the right equipment, you get a great shave and a great experience. Try it out, you wont regret learning.
Small update: I am getting the hang of it, no nicks, I'm able to shave a bit faster now, and have more confidence/"feel". I strictly use my left hand for the left side of the face, and right hand for the right side. Even though it is tricky in the beginning, I think it will be better/practical in the long run. It is fun and quite satisfying to shave with a shavette! :) I might try to find a nice metal case to store it in. Perhaps one of those fountain pen cases?
I got my first shavette today haven't used it on my face yet but I did try it on my hand just to see how sharp it is and I ended up with a cut on the back of my hand. Now I'm worried about my shave tonight haha
Just got one of these for Christmas. Tried a feather in it (I use feathers in my DE, which admittedly is an adjustable that I keep on a low setting) and it tore my face up. Thanks for the video, I like seeing someone experienced with shaving use it.
I love the feather japanese style razor with their blades. Incredible shave.
You make it look so easy!! Bought my first shavette recently, and did my first attempt lastnight. I'd watched a few of your videos beforehand, so it wasn't as bad as it might have been. Stuck with one pass as I'm a newbie. It did give quite a nice shave, but I had a few problem areas (mostly the chin!) where I ended up missing and doing with a disposable instead. I'll stick with it though! Thanks for your vids!
You make this look so easy !
I recently tried shaving with a Parker SRX. There was blood 🩸..... several cuts. I need to regain the confidence to try it again
Rome wasn't built in a day. Muscle memory is your friend.
Thank you for showing me how to really shave! GeoFatboy you are the best.
Love this razor. Its my first straight shave anything and idk if I will ever go back to a regular razor. Great vid Fatboy their aren't enough Parker SR1 videos, but this is by far the best.
I purchased this very shavette and a styptic pen for my first time cut throat shaving... got them today and tried it out only one real nic, okay 3 but hey it was my first time. Many more shaves to go before i buy a real one. I just wanted to say thanks. ( i purchased at shave nation)
I usually hold the straight razor with only own dominant hand but you can use both😲 Good work👏
Thank you very much !!! I tested it and it was one of the best shave ever...I bought my Parker shavete on ebay ant it works very well ...I watched all of your videos and you helped me a lot... I am very grateful if that means anything to you...Greetings across the ocean from Croatia somewhere in Europe...
I'm used to vintage and antique straight razors, but can't be bothered getting them rehoned all the time, so I've just bought the Parker SRX in the hope that it's got some decent weight and balance to it. Any other shavette I've used have been far too light for me. Looking forward to getting it delivered soon. Thanks for the video. Useful and well presented as always. Cheers.
Wow what a great product... I can get this to practice the angle of the straight razor and then switch to a more uniquely skilled straight razor. Thanks for the video this really opened my eyes.
The best way to reach me is the good old fashioned telephone.
The number for www.shavenation.com/ is on the website.
Give me a call when you get a chance and we can talk about it.
BTW, I've never done a podcast before, you'll have to school me! Geo.
That sir is music to my ears! Contact you soon!!!
Douglas Smythe
BTW Mr Smythe - puchased the Gondolier soap... sweet!
***** telephone rings : thanks for calling ShaveNation this is GeoFatboy :)
Thanks to you and your videos I just bought my first shavette and I am on my way to buying a straight razor I have already started saving money to buy one and the necessary items to go with it thanks geo
Just had my first shave with my Parker Shavette, and it was a fair shave and I also did cut myself a little on my cheek. But I know I will get better so hopefully this will introduce me to the world of Straight Razors eventually.
Thanks for the Honesty ! 20 bucks and boom ...Your a good man Pyezon !
Thanks James!
"Clear the runways" - you should copyright that phrase Geo! Great stuff as usual.
Thanks Geo! Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I've picked up so much from your thorough and incredibly patient tutorials.
When using shaving soap have a second bowl a lather bowl, you will see them in geo's videos and in his store. Circle the brush in the soap until you feel you have enough then circle it in the bowl until it lathers, you made need more soap do it as many times as you need eventually you will get the hang of it and get a good lather it just takes time to get the hang of it. Also depends on what kind of soap you are using.
Having switched to a DE razor about a year ago because I was told it would help prevent razor burn (it did!), I'm interested in trying a straight razor. Not wanting to invest in all the accoutrements straight away (and also wanting to avoid the skills of razor maintenance), I've invested in one of these. Kinda nervous to try it for the first time - been told to attempt the side of my face with my dominant hand for a start.
Well i've shaved twice with my new razor, i think using this shavette is more effective than a regular razor, Fav part is i don't get any razor bumps. Definitely not as hard as i thought. Your right haha i've cut my hands applying the razor they are very sharp indeed.
Thanks Geo!!! I ordered the Dovo Shavette and some other things from the sight for my first straight shave today. Your videos were so helpful and appreciated. My shave went well for the most part, I shave my whole head and the dome was definitely much more difficult than the face, thanks for all the tips!!!!!!
Hey Geo, I received my Parker Shavette today (Rriday)... super fast shipping, thanks.
So, just finished my first shave ever with this kind of razor. And no nicks so far! ha, I had a pot of styptic powder ready but didn't need to use it... yet. :) The scariest part for me was the very first time when I actually made skin contact with the blade. From there I just tried to keep the angle steady and that did the trick. Hope it will continue going well. Thanks for the video here, and fast shipping.
I've found if you strop a new blade lightly before a shave, it will perform much better. No scratches or irritation. A tip for sensitive skin types.
Great video.. but I am hardcore one handed. I would do a great job with my right hand.. then switch to my left hand and decapitate myself :(
You can complete the shave with one hand as well.. You just need to find the proper positioning.
I tried a straight razor a couple years back and had that problem. I decided it would be best for my health if I just got rid of it. Lol
I haven't used a straight in a few years. I need to send both my straights out to be honed. I was skeptical about using my left hand in the beginning. After trying to use my right hand on the left side of my face a time or two I finally decided that my left hand was going to have to shape up and become more useful. I got the hang of it without incurring any major injuries. It can be done.
I ordered a Parker shavette the other day waiting for it to arrive from Ebay never used one before but don't think I'll have a problem
i bought the exact same model as the one in the video,i was used to using safety razors and i really did get a bit cut and a little razor burn but if you dont make many mistekes and dont push to hard on the skin you will get the hang of it in a metter of weeks and youl get a prettt good shave but the first 3 or 4 times shaving expect some nicks and cuts
So basically, on the neck, the second sideways pass is actually against the grain? It seems as though you are doing the same thing on the third pass i.e. going against the grain and not actually sideways. Unless there is something subtle I am missing here?
what was the blade? Feather?
What a good tutorial!
Thanks from Russia.
I fast forwarded thru your video initially and didnt catch your USMC shirt. However when you where shaving and said oblique i had a major final drill flashback, all i could think of was do i have to go right or left oblique,crap now im gonna get eaten by my senior and heavy,lol.
Love the videos brother,im just learning this art and buying my first set of gear to get it all done. Ill be supporting your store and paying it a visit to get my stuff. Thank you for the time you invest in these videos.
Used it first time this week and did it twice. But at the moment i look like Scarface... Its a wonder no one asked what happened. Also my face feels a bit messed up now, so I will leave it for a rest now. I was not pressuring by force and did it in my opinion quite light (even at some spots hair was not removed). Dont know how I messed up. I keep watching all youtube vids and hope I will get better.
with practice you will get better man. don't get discouraged, it's all about angles!
third day and making a mess of it. especially spots. the local barber told me to keep doing....it has less irritaion than the conventional blades....use warm water and sudsy soap to get better results
Thanks for asking this question, I have the same problem , too
All about the angle’s and pressure man
07:04-11:33 first pass
12:53-16:43 second pass
17:38-20:28 third pass
20:52-21:28 fourth pass
Got a parker sr1 shavette from online and thought what the hey give it a try since so many people gave it good reviews..and wowie..get a decent shaving soap use this two days then use my safety razor two days...0 nicks bbs 3 pass no razor burn and to top it off i think it feels really comfortable to hold.. I just rotate some derbys,racers,sharks,perma sharps and some derby pros..really like the derbys on my face and head due to smoothness may try some astras personnas and feathers one day people seem to say they are excellent
Geo has over 15 years of experience shaving, you don't. He makes it look really easy. Take your time, the first time I did it it went terrible also.
Ah, finally... I received today my badger brush (black solid wood, medium hair quality)... gives a more 'total' shaving experience, and less nicks too it seems. Happy face now :)
Really nice video. Just started out shaving with a shavette last week. Luckily no cuts yet. Still working on the technique
Hello Geo,greetings from India .started DE shaving 1 year ago with feather popular then moved to Parker 26c,now got Parker sr 1 shavette. All after seeing your suggestions and availability in India . Journey to De closed ,open and shavette wld nt hv been possible with out your videos
Nice work Raj! The next step is a traditional straight razor. Enjoy!
@@geofatboy thanks for responding. Motivation 🙏 I need to explore a good one . Parker doesn't make it and Amazon usa charges 4-5times more here
oh man my first pass with a shavette was brutal. (after using a DE safety for 6 years!) but fortunately only minor cuts that soon dissapeared. I must have had 2 much angle cuz the blade didn't want to move. This will definitely take some practice
Get a few more shaves in, you'll get the hang of it. It's all about the muscle memory!
I love those blades, I use a Merkur Futur Double-edge safety razor and they are my favorite blade so far. Not too sharp, but definitely better than Merkur blades or your standard derby, or even wilkinson blades.
@dkoll72 This is actually the razor I use. I've only been doing this for a little over a month and basically wanted a "starter" razor in case I ended up chickening out and not sticking with it. Down the road I'm probably going to get a Feather, but overall once I got the hang of it I've had no problems with this razor.
I just bought a shavette and some supplies from your website. Great video, thank you.
shave nation or west coast shaving are both good.... just check the web they are all over!! happy shaves!!!
Thank you ,Very informative.Now i go and by me a shavette for sure.Thank you for Sharing,God Bless You
Thanks for producing and publishing this.
Wow, I was interested in the whole straight razor/ shavette process to use, but I just don't think I have that much time to commit to the process. That appears pretty labor intensive. Nice video to demonstrate how it is done.
Thanks for these. I just ordered a Parker so your Teachings hit the spot.
Just ordered a Parker. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.
That was one heck of an instructive video, Geo. You covered a good number of points that I needed/need tips on. I believe that from what you showed (and what I was able to hear and observe) very well in this video, my technique and effectiveness with a straight razor or shavette will both improve. That was a nice lather you whipped up, as well. And, hey, the jokes were good ones, to be sure. The one about "if it were easy, girls would do it" was great, but, a slight bit later, you followed up on the same line with a bit of "affection" for "the weaker sex." There was another very good funny line, too, but can't remember it now. (I will watch this video again, once or twice, to reinforce what you showed/taught, as well as for enjoying the jokes and their "delivery" again.)
I have one question. I ordered a shavette a couple of days ago. I'd heard that a lighter shavette will prepare you for a heavier shavette, and that a heavier shavette will prepare you better for a (heavier) straight razor. With your experience and expertise, Geo, is that correct? I've been trying with a straight razor once or twice a month for the last 6 months or so. I'd like to see my ability advance a bit better or more reliably. I shave every 3 to 4 days. Short of shaving every time with a straight razor, will using a shavette be less of a big jump from a safety razor than using a straight razor? And, again, would using a shavette, rather than a straight razor, ease one into getting the hang of straight razor shaving, before starting to use a straight razor?
This is a long "comment," Geo. Should I apologize for it already here, or wait until you detail the "damages" having to read it caused? Whatever the case, thanks again for one very graphic, instructive and helpful video.
Best wishes, guy (or "gent").
Martin, thank you for your kind words and support. I'll break it down and make it simple:
Start with an affordable shavette, easy to load, the hinged type: bit.ly/HingedShavetteSN
Watch the video and practice the movements without the blade installed: ruclips.net/video/9IGMcZjTWOw/видео.html
When you feel comfortable, insert the blade and shave one or both cheeks (they are the easiest areas to shave)
Finish up that shave with your safety razor
Subsequent shaves try to complete a bit more each shave with the shavette razor-still finishing with the safety razor
Soon you'll be able to shave your entire face with the shavette razor
Then you can move to a traditional straight razor: bit.ly/StraightRazorsSN
So new to this world of real shaving... but it's really awesome. Fascinating stuff. Worth learning as a skill to pass on to your offspring as my friend said. Thanks for the video.
Still a great video Geo. This is the first video I watched to learn to shave with a SR. You Da Man!
Great video, I just bought a shavette, probably gonna buy the brush, bowl and shaving cream soon
I truly enjoyed this entire video. Thank you.
Thanks for the vid
I've been wanting to see how the blade holding mechanism worked for a long time.
Great video. Just ordered that shavette. Transitioning from my Gillette Fatboy.
Love straight razer in a display box
Fantastic video makes me feel confident for when I start shaving with my DE blade. I will check your other videos out.
I notice at about 18:16 you took off some shaving cream so you could get a grip on your face to stretch it. If you happen to have an Alum block or stone if you just rub your fingertips on it, you will get great grip on your skin even when there is shaving cream there.
Thanks for this video. I've just bought a Parker shavette to see how I'd like the switch from electric being I have sensitive skin. If all is good I plan on upgrading to a traditional straight, the maintenance might take some getting used to though...honing+stropping.
@geofatboy I took the plunge his evening with have a Detby Extra in it (decided to leave the Feathers out of the equation for now), and ended up doing my whole face- I was also using an unfamiliar shaving cream, which probably wasn't wise (didn't like it too much either - lucky it was just a free sample!). Not a perfect shave, but no cuts or nick, which was a result. Did a second pass with my faithful 34c afterwards to clean up the bits I missed!
Yo Geo! Flawless vids as always, I tried my mate's Dovo shavette a good few months ago but it was hard to navigate due to a small mole on my face, so i finished it with the 34c HD. Surprised to know you were in the Marines. The Seals team did an awesome job man. God Bless America and you my friend. Take care bro.
im new to the shavette style razor. Ive been using a safety razor for about a month now and got it down pretty good. Just tried my first shavette shave today...went horrible. Trying to get the angle right and forgetting to slow down. I will have to revisit it soon. Im very interested, but it was not at all pleasant. I hope i get the hang of it soon.
Tried my first shave with the Parker SR1 shavette. It started out ok till I switched hands lol. I also realized my lather needs to be wetter than how I shave with a DE. There was blood, but now I really want to learn.
As usual another great shave by the master.
There's something soothing about watching a man shave. :3
Bought one of these as a kind-of stepping stone towards a real straight razor. Can't wait to start learning this stuff and ditch the "Gillette Fusion Power Stealth Mach Turbo ProGlide" or whatever the newest one is called lol
