Never saw anyone shave that quickly with shavette/ straight razor. Good and in-depth!!
Thanks mr, Heisenberg
Just bought my first shavette and everything I need for good grooming at the actual brick and mortar location! Super excited to learn! No more Gillette!
I use a shavette. It takes a lot of time to learn. My only difficulty is that I have to wear glasses to see clearly. The glasses and my hand get in the way at times.
A really great tutorial Jeremy 😌👏
As you said the secret to a comfortable shave with a shavette is all in that light touch. If people have the control and can get the razor to glide they should be fine, and I’m sure that’s why a fluent style can work well.
Thank you Dave. I learned a lot from you over the years. I’m sure I missed somethings here. But in my opinion, you are still the master.
@@TheTravelingShaver thank you my friend ☺️
Interesting explanation of the razors !
Thank you.
Awesome video, I've been struggling with how to hold it when going for a certain angle on a certain side and this video demonstrates many, if not all, approaches.
Glad it helped!
Great tutorial, and a great shave JT!!
Many thanks JMac!
Nice shave JT. Excellent tutorial. Thanks for that, I still picked up a tip.
Thank you good sir. I’m happy this helped.
Nice tutorial JT.
Many thanks brother!
I've seen the opposite, shavette blades tend to be less sharp or atleast more harsh than a properly honed straight. I hone many straight razors every week (I make my own and restore old ones) and I hone up to 12k on naniwa stones then I finish on lapping films up to .5 micron . At this point it will cut a hanging hair with just a touch, mass production blades generally won't cut a hanging hair. I do sometimes use a small shavette to get in tight spaces like under my nose but I will usually run it over the lapping films a bit and strop before use to smooth out the harshness
Nice job Sir.
Greatly appreciated.
Great video
Great video Great Information Thanks !
What did you spray prior to the shaving cream?
What do you have to do to maintain it? I've read online that you have to oil some straight razors but I'm not sure if you have to oil a shavette, and I'm not sure what to search for even if I needed to. I've only been cleaning and making sure the shavette is completely dry inside and out, much like my safety razor.
I take the blade out after each use, rinse the portion where the blade sites and let everything dry over night. I also make sure the scales are dry and the hinge pin area is dry as well.
What do you think of IBC vs Feather AC DX with wooden handle?
Had my first shave ever with a shavette today and everything went great until I hit the mirror with the handle. From what I hear, this is quite common. Got a nasty cut on my lip. My hand really gets in the way sometimes. Shaving against the grain is easy.
Nice video! Been using a shavette for 2 years. Still not getting the BBS shave that I get with a safety razor. My technique is good. I use sharp blades and still don’t get the close shave I want.
Wait, so a safety razor provides a cleaner shave than a shavette?
@@mehranbillah7415i think people dare to go a bit further with a safety razor, maybe the angle isnt good, too steep and the blade will grab your skin, and if you dont have enough of an angle the shave wont be clean, which is what im suspecting. Also pull the skin upwards, the hairs tend te grow downwards and if you pull the skin upwards and shave downwards you should feel it cutting way more and with more ease
Good tutorial! I just started using a shavette style razor and I managed to cut myself multiple times on my weak side. Guess I`ll have to get used to it. May I ask if you use a straight razor for your head as well?
I have used a straight razor and a shavette on my head. It is something I DO NOT recommend people do until they are extremely comfortable shaving with shavette using both hands.
Wish me luck i ordered the ibc and been using a kai captain clone de shavette and well its not easy at all as it looks. I have no idea how to shave my neck across or against the grain and my chin has too many curves
Good luck! The IBC is a wonderful razor, one of my favorites. Using a shavette does take some practice. When I first started using them there was plenty of stubble left over after the shave. There is absolutely no shame is doing a clean up with a different style of razor. The neck area can be a little tricky depending on how your hair grows. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.
@@TheTravelingShaver will do ty
Got my first straight razor/ err.. shavette. Its very sharp...not like a Gillette shower razor. Learned really fast I can't dry shave with it😂
Is that water you spray on?
Hey dude good evening! Who did you say dose an exceptional job honing? Someone by name “the captain”??? I will eventually be looking for someone trust, worthy to hone my RA. Thanks for your help!👊
What was that you used to spritz your face?
2:50 you crack normal de in half?
Yes. There are also saloon blades that are pre-cut in half. I tend to prefer a blade snapped in half in shavettes that take a half de blade.
