Another great one Dave. I did something similar last week. I put all my vintage and classic razors on display and now I have only two modern that I use on a daily basis. Will I ever use my vintage razors again? Sure they just won't be in my regular rotation.
Have you found that the vector binds and warps the blade and there was mention that the blade ends up getting stuck in the top cap because the top cap warps over time. Don’t know if that was an issue that was resolved but I just ordered a vector yesterday and I’m now concerned this may be an issue over time.
Hi, thanks for watching. I have had my Vector since almost when it first came out and I have had no issues at all regarding what you mentioned. If not kept clean sometimes the blade can be a bit challenging, but a small tap with the head piece and it falls right off. As to warping? Not all all. But don’t over torque when tightening. I exclusively use Feather Pro guards, and again no problems, and the razor has been flawless. You will love it! Let us know how you like it. Hope this helps
Great video:) just curious about this CBL soap you mentioned it's currently your favorite soap base ? Is this soap you have a new soap base from CBL ? Also how strong would you say the scent is out of 10 on this soap, I have very sensitive skin so don't like over powering things they normally irritate my skin
@@BarberDave ok so do you know what this soap base is called is it only available for this scent or is all there scents have this same base ? Ok unfortunately the scent sounds abit to strong for me
Well, I dont think they can be compared actually, Teh CBL aftershave are like an AS Milk, part aftershave part balm and are extremely nourishing and protective, whereas the Stirling are a bit lighter in consistency and fade a bit quicker IMHO. Although they are both fantastic
@@BarberDave how long does a bottle of the cbl last? I’m new to wet shaving (about 2 years) how much do you think a cbl and a stirling last of used every two days?
@@BarberDavethanks Dave. I’m not a “Soap Guy” meaning, I don’t want every scent that PAA, Hags, and others distribute. Meaning I don’t want to collect Soaps. I buy 1 or 2 from Soap artisans, and use them.. replace them once empty or don’t if I didn’t like it. Rinse and repeat. I have a Saponificio Varesino, Abbate Y La Mantia, couple PAA & A&E, Hags, Etc. Probably 12-15 soaps.. planning on passing forward most and keeping around 5 max. Only keeping my favorite TOP5🤷🏼♂️
Great comparison Dave. I have the Ti Vector and love it. I haven’t purchased the Osprey yet, maybe in the near future I’ll purchase it. I do have the Rex Ambassador though ( 2022 iteration) Have you tried the Rex yet? If so, what are your thoughts? I personally find it to be smooth and incredibly efficient. Take care
Fascinating and very enjoyable Dave.
For a quick shave i use my safty razor too. But since i retired, i prever a straight razor shave every day.
Very nice. I have the Blackland SS with open combat and safety bar. Both amazing razors
Great Video, just subscribed, I’m actually planning to do a review on the vector on my channel.
Excellent look forward to watchinf
Blackland has the Vector at 220 for the machined finish, so it's quite a bit cheaper than what you guessed LOL.
Well with the stand add 50 so I was close. I bought mine so long ago LOL
Also I dont pay much attention to prices, as you can see, LOL

This is my favorite soap base, and the scent is punched up I would give it a solid 8-9

How do you think the cbl tonic aftershave compares to the stirling witch hazel base aftershaves?

@@josebarrios2464 well if you just use about a dimes size to nickel size it should last you at least a year 6-months at the minimum
Dave can you post links on your favorite soaps?
Thanks for the Vids
This next week I’ll post a list and some links for my top 10 soaps look for either Sunday or Monday. Thanks for watching.

@@The_One_BABA no problem I’ll go ahead and post the top five that I’ll always have in the den no matter what
@@BarberDave thanks Dave🙏🏼💪🏼
Dave another fascinating video. I’m curious what is it about the CBL tonic that makes it so much better than Thayers? When will iT(😂) be available?
The scent more than anything and the protective properties are just as good, but the fragrance is so strong and lingers as well
@@BarberDaveDave doesn’t the scent conflict with aftershave.
I contacted them
@@WallyPankowski-wd8gb not at all he does not have the aftershave yet as far as I know
@@BarberDaveso his witch hazel is as strong as an aftershave? That would have to conflict with a different scented aftershave, wouldn’t it?
@@WallyPankowski-wd8gb Well I try to match all my frags so as long as they share notes I don' think there is usually a problem
