    Hearing “My skin is cleaned out, hydrated, and ready to go” is like watching Mr. Rogers routinely swap his jacket for his indoor cardigan. Welcome back!

    I have a 1960 Gillette Fatboy adjustable that was my dads and it is my favorite safety razor. Although I try different blades so far I like the Gillette Wilkerson blades and I use setting 3 for my face. When I was still shaving with a cartridge razor shaving was a chore but since I transitioned back to safety razors shaving is now an enjoyable experience.

    Two years ago at my family’s Christmas gathering, we were searching through some of my grandparents belongings. My dad sat down with a box of stuff he had picked out and began going through it. One of the last things he pulled out was a Gillette Slim from the late 60’s, most likely the last razor my grandfather ever owned (he passed away in ‘77). I immediately claimed it (none of my family uses safety razors) and have used it ever since and would have to agree %100 that Gillette’s designs-especially their adjustable models- are top notch and clearly last forever in the right hands. Since I never got to meet my grandpa, I’ll always cherish this razor, as it provides some sort of connection to him that otherwise I wouldn’t ever have.

    So cool that you are back! I just got into DE safety razors in the last two months when I realized I had no idea what cartridges I needed to buy. I went home, rummaged through my bathroom cabinets and discovered I had 11 different razor handles from 5 different companies. Your channel has been a huge help in guiding me to my initial purchases, even in your absence from it. I feel fortunate to have found this community right at the moment that both, you have chosen to return, and that Gillette released this heritage razor.

Your vids were the first ones I watched when I started wet shaving and oddly most of the products that worked well for you, seemed to do the same for me so you also saved me some time and money.

    Welcome Back. Here's what you have to look forward to: I'm now 53 and started wet shaving about 8 years ago. I've gone through many razors and have my all-time favorites, almost exclusively stainless steel CNC and (2) KARVE brass razors, all for longevity and craftsmanship. I have a Gillette Superspeed that was made on my birth year (1966), all in anticipation of teaching my son the art of shaving. Fast Forward...Now he's 19 and in college. He DE shaves and will have access to all of my other stainless steel and brass razors when I'm gone. I have over 6,000 blades of various brands to outlast my lifetime and maybe his 😂. His 4 other friends went off to college with DE razors as senior gifts, too. You'll blink and they'll be all grown up. Cherish the younger years. It only speeds up as they get older and older. Good Luck!

    Congrats on your growing family, Nick. Just made the jump myself from oncology to the Pharma side as an MSL. What a difference in hours, stress, worry. About 3 days a week in my home office now. I recommend it. I bought the Muhle with the Common Bar style handle too. Now my vintage long-comb NEW type is in the nifty Gillette case, a perfect fit. I already had an R89 so this razor is redundant for me. But the handle is great.
    Welcome back. Hope you have time here and there to post a vid for all the new guys. Your technique instruction is excellent. I don’t care if you ever introduce a new product. I point newbies to your videos so they can pick up some ideas for DE shaving. Everybody does it a little differently but nobody describes the process as thoroughly as you.
    Cheers, Dad!

    Id like to see some maintenance videos. Should we disassemble our razer every time after shaving and clean it? How often should we scrub off the soap scum build up? Ideal way of storing everything. Should the blade always be taken out when not being used? That sort of stuff.

    @marcbagwell6109 5 лет назад +1

    Speaking about Gillette not bringing back one of their old razors.... I agree. My favorite razor is a 48-50 Aristocrat but would have been happy with a new short comb from the thirties or even a super speed. Would love to see Gillette make those again. But this is P & G, and not the old Gillette company. The old timers that made all those amazing razors are gone. But hey, it’s still a Gillette and I am glad to see them manufacturing a de razor again. Maybe more will come in the future if they see the market is still here

  • @SoundPerformer95
    @SoundPerformer95 5 лет назад

    I bought a Merkur 34c and while it performed well with a Derby blade, I found the ultimate razor while travelling last year! The Yuma performs above and beyond even the best designed razors, in my opinion. I bought this ultra-light razor almost as a joke, as the price was next to nothing and I didn't have any expectations. However, when the blade is lined up evenly and you apply gentle pressure during the shave, it's a game-changer! The closest shave I have experienced with one pass, due to the razor's more agressive nature; but this doesn't cause any irritation even on more sensitive skin. It would be brilliant to see how you get on with this Yuma razor if you can get your hands on one! Great to see you back! Cheers!

    Great watching one of your videos again. I haven’t done a proper wet shave in years. I got super into it for a couple years and I would slice up my face almost every shave so I threw away all my soaps in frustration. I still use the DE (Feather) just not the soaps. I’ve gone back to what I used to do-straight out of the shower, no soap, no cream, nothing at all. Super smooth, cut-free and no aftershave. But this video makes me miss all the soaps and brushes and balms. Good to know you and your family are well 🤙🏼

    Gillette's parent company Proctor & Gamble, have recently bought back Gillette's old blade manufacturing plants in St. Petersburg and Poland, so this new razor is basically a toe in the water for Gillette to test market response. Great things to come. Expect some more and better razors from the company.
