3:05 this has to be among my favourite RUclips moments anywhere. When Kevy asks you 'how are you doing' I can tell he really means it. Genuine guy. Cheers sir.
Thanks Kevy for the mention and your support of me and my channel. Break a leg with your play coming up,I wish I could come and watch,it's one of my favourite film and T.V series.
Ahh, is so warming your smile at the beginning of each video, you lighten everyone's day with that smile, Kevy. BTW, I got enamored of Riley. And let me tell you, my wife is the dog lover in the house. I love them too, but the two dogs that we have are hers, but Riley is just a sweet caramel. My daughters loved him too. As for the shave, I could see your face at 7:57. You had no words to express how smooth the slim adjustable shaves after over 50 years. BTW, that's my wife birth year, 1967, and her birthday is tomorrow April 14th. Mine is 1965, and I'm shaving with my K1 tomorrow. Now you can go put your hat, get your cane, and take Riley for a walk around the block.
Hey Martin! Riley always steals the show. He is such an adorable little dog. That razor is incredible. This was an excellent shave using some classic gear. Wish your wife a very happy birthday from me 🎉🎂 I hope your shave with the K1 goes as well as this shave did. Have a great weekend. Kevy 😀👍
Enjoyed the video as always Kevy, very entertaining. TOBS Sandalwood is one of my favorites. I visited their shop when I was in London in January 2017.
Super shave Kevy! I always feel like a true gentleman when using TOBS Sandalwood products. Scent is sublime and classic as you say. Nice razor, I have three including a new, never used gold Aristocrat slim adjustable(collector piece). Another great video and shave. Thanks. Enjoy!
Great shave. When I visit London while I'm visiting the UK, I'll stop by TOBS and other shave shops in London. The Slim is at the top of the list of vintage razors I want to get and it will hopefully be a great razor for me. Good luck on your play on Tuesday and I'm outta here for the weekend
I've started to ring my badger knots out like Nick shaves does,squeeze and a little twist.I've found it gets more water out of the knot.Love that brush,classic shave.
Hello Kevy, Just wanted to send you a huge “Thank You !” for all of your enjoyable, entertaining and informative posts. I’ve watched just about all of your posts before taking the plunge into the DE shaving world. I recently picked up the Merkur 34C razor as well as the Midnight and Two Cabin soap and balm. What a difference in shaves as compared to the 5 blade cartridge and typical gel shaving cream! Shaving is now a part of the day I really look forward to. Fortunately, I have a great store here in Calgary, called Kent of Inglewood, where I can purchase awesome shaving products. I wanted to start with the Midnight and Two products as it is made here. The soap and balm is fantastic as you had mentioned in one of your reviews. Looking forward to more reviews from you. Have a great week! Ken Fournie, Calgary, Canada
Hey Ken. Thank you so much for the kind words. Midnight and Two make some brilliant products and all of it very good for the skin. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying shaving this way. Long may it continue. All the best. Kevy :)
Just got the TOBS Sandalwood Cream, my goodness it was a smooth relaxing shave with my Bergischer Lowe, just an awesome shave tonight. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Kevy- Very nice shave; thank you! All of the TOBS and Gillette products seemed to come together perfectly for a great shave. Take care and all the best with the play. Best regards!
BRAVO 👏Kevy. What a fantastic shave and video. All my all time favourite products in one shave. Love TOBS Sandalwood. The Gillette slim adjustable and Silver Blue blade are my favourites also. I use mine on setting 8 throughout the shave and I get BBS every time. Cheers my friend.
Hi Kevy, I just acquired a chubby 3 which is like a great big fat pillow on my face, love it, but I was struck by a Geofatboy video where he read out a listeners question regarding shedding. He messaged Simpson who replied saying that the chubby 2 has in excess of 20,000 hairs! and shedding a few hairs is normal. 20,000!! Great shave by the way
This episode was fortuitous for me because I'ordered, and will receive a 6 piece set of ToBS Sandalwood! WCS is having a 15% offer on all ToBS, so I pulled the trigger. I'm getting A full size tub of cream, full size pre-shave/beard oil, full sized deodorant stick, Full sized aftershave lotion, large bath soap, and full sized cologne!! I can't wait. Thanks for this one, mate! Break a leg on Tuesday. Enjoy your weekend. I'm probably going to order the matching talc and shampoo.
Hey Alex. Sounds like you snagged a great bargain there. I need to apologise to you. Every time you watch one of my videos, your bank account takes a hit! Lol! 😂 I'm sure you'll love the TOBS gear you ordered. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Recently bought this razor and used it twice. What I do not like about it is the balance, it is head heavy and the face feel while shaving is also not very pleasant compared to other razors. But what I like about it is the end result similar to that with a r41 but without all that irritation. The whiskers seem to be cut softly and it is a post shave feeling I do not get with any modern razor I have tried. I was wondering if a red tip would shave similarly. I have tried Gillette knack razor but it was nothing like the slim.
For me, the red tip isn't quite as smooth as the slim adjustable. It's a great razor but the versatility of the slim, due to it being an adjustable razor, makes it a lot more comfortable. Maybe I need to try some more different blades in the red tip. Cheers. Kevy 👍
My Gillette razor is coming from the US (ex pat Sassenach in Australia) I will be using the TOBS sensitive skin cream and Thayers Medicated pain relief witch hazel the only real change is I will be using a Rapira LUX blade:D
Just to let you know . After 2 mouths of wet shaving i am getting the hang of it . Thank you for all your videos . They really help and keep a person interested in wet shaving . PS. You are funny as hell !
I really like your videos and Paul H . Both you guys are entertaining and I have learned a lot . More so then the guys from America or Canada. Maybe one day I will make one . Lol
"Doesn't feel like there's a blade in this..." My feelings exactly about a 1949 SuperSpeed. It's milder than my Merkur 34C. Love it. BTW, today I used TOBS Sandalwood for the first time. Very nice product.
Great shave kevy! I just acquired two vintage gillettes. A Gillette black beauty and a Gillette fat boy. Cleaned and sanitized them last night, so I'm going to try one of them this afternoon. I can't wait!! Thanks for the warning about adjusting the vintage gillettes. I would have adjusted them the same way I would have adjusted my variant and futur. I also received some Captains choice shave balm. The sandals and the northern too. Until next time! Take care, tell Mrs kevy I said hi and cheers!
Kevy Shaves The shave went GREAT!!! Used the black beauty last night, next time will be the fat boy. Too bad I can't post pics on here, or I'd show my shave den.
Happy Saturday Kevy! Oh, right...a classic shave; very nice. That Gillette Slim Adjustable is a fine shaving razor. Your blade choice is very good. Sharp and smooth (A bit over-sharp to my skin. I get sensitive during the final pass. YMMV). That is an interesting way to apply the TOBS cream. I am going to add that to my repertoire of shaving knowledge and skills. I only have one Simpson brush: the Wee Scot. I must confess the Simpson badger knot feel soft and far less scritchy than other badger knots I have experienced. I should look into another Simpson brush. For me, Setting 6 on the Slim is the sweet spot...magic! The feel is so smooth, close, and comfortable. Strangely, I use setting 5 on the Fatboy and Super Adjustable. Same smooth, close, and comfortable shave. Seems to me that the Super Adjustable is more efficient, but the Slim feels smoother for some reason. My razor blade war/challenge is going well here. 1970's blades. Schick plus Platinum v. Gillette Platinum Plus. So far, both have managed 13 full 3 pass shaves plus a pick-up/buffing pass. That is an amazing 52 passes! Both blades are delivering still delivering a BBS result. Both are smooth and sharp still. The Gillette Platinum Plus has an edge on smoothness, but the Schick is not far off. I think the 1970's was the high water mark for blade longevity. Wishful to want this type of blade quality nowadays. I have penciled Arthur and you on my 2019 calendar. I'm most likely to stay at the hotel above the Gentleman's Groom Room. I'm quite excited to visit. Cheers.
Hi Todd. Sorry for the late reply buddy. TOBS Sandalwood is just lovely. I apply it this way as it's soft enough to be rubbed directly onto the skin. I guess it doesn't matter, as long as the lather is right. Simpson brushes are amazing but pricey when you consider the cost of some of the synths out there but the quality is what you're paying for. Wow, those 70's blades sound brilliant! Good stuff for 2019. I'll let Arthur know. Cheers. Kevy :)
Hi Kevy. No worries about the late reply, I know you are busy with the play and such. I wanted to send you some photographs on iMessages, but I knew you would have other things more important. I did try this directly onto the skin cream to lather method. I use my Graydog 26mm badger and it was superb...this method is a keeper. Yes, the vintage blades are still going...now up to 15 four-pass shaves...my shave from yesterday is still BBS 20 hours afterwards.
I love TOBS Sandalwood! For me, THAT is what I remember as a "barbershop" scent here in Latin America. It takes me back. It was the first cream I ever bought when I started wet shaving. Before I "discovered" US based artisans, I ordered from TOBS and a soap from Captain Fawcett, both UK based stores. By the way, I have never seen you use Captain Fawcett soaps. Have you ever tried them? Do you not like Captain Fawcett? Not many RUclipsrs have used them in videos. Maybe they're not as popular or good as I thought.
I've never tried Captain Fawcetts soaps. Ive tried a sample of their Booze & Baccy cologne and that is lovely. I think Cris - Another Cut Above - has used their soap in a shave vid. He says it's very good. Cheers. Kevy 👍
I have the Sandalwood, and Mr. Taylor shaving cream's with the matching Aftershave's, and both are exceptional, they have such a clean, and regale scent to them. I'm thinking about grabbing the Eaton College set next. Very nice shave Kevy, and good luck with the play!👍💈
Kevy I just ordered finally Chuby 2 Simpsons brush hope will be good and enjoyable I guess it's a must in a shaving den... Also what's your opinion on True Fitt Hill sandalwood I just got it not bad I really also enjoy my TOBS Sandalwood ohh so hard to choose between two... Hmmm They are Both Good hard to decided but anyhow I love my TOBS Take Care Alan H
Kevy Shaves Hi Kevy Well to be honest Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood is great soap different smell of sandalwood and balm ohh smells like Calvin Klein Cologne it’s strong..I kinda Regret but ok TOBS all the way for Sandawood 200% 💈👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 How is the new soap by TOBS tobbaco leaf I would like to try that or Royal Forest?? Worth it?? Take care hope everyone is well🙏🏻 Alan H
Nice one Kevy, always good to see someone use a few classics. 😌👏 Like a lot of people, TOBS sandalwood was the first cream I bought online, amazing scent. Good luck with the play. 👍
My favourite badger brush is the Yaqi 24mm high mountain white brush. I would say it's as soft and performs as well as my Chubby 2 for much less money. Simpson brushes are fantastic and they're great to be able to own one, but for me, just now, Yaqi are producing some very good and very affordable brushes. There's lots of artisan brushmakers out there too just now. You have such a wide and varied choice. Let me know what you go for. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Kevy Shaves ~ I looked at the Yaqi and they have nice looking brushes at incredible prices...I’ll most likely order one in the next couple weeks. Last night I ordered a Chubby 2 in Super Badger, a Semogue Owners Club Boar brush and a RazoRock Plissoft for a travel brush. After watching your video with the Gillette 195 Fatboy I placed an order for it also. You’ve definitely fueled a passion for me to try new things in the wet shaving world.
Hello can you please tell me how do you dry your Simpson’s chubby 2? I recently obtained the same brush but haven’t used it yet because I can’t find a stand for it.
I tie it around the cord on a window blind, upside down. It doesn't fit any of my stands either! I guess you could get a piece of string and hang it upside down from anywhere. Kevy 👍
Kevy Shaves Thanks! I also found a link on maggards razors for a extra wide stainless steel razor specifically for Chubby 2 and other specific large brushes. www.maggardrazors.com/product/maggard-razors-xl-37mm-stainless-steel-razor-brush-stand-for-large-brushes/
Nice shave Kevy . I wish I had a razer like that . Maybe I have to much water in my super badger brush . It makes lather like crazy and I get it all over the place . Lol
Thanks Dev. It's tricky getting the water just right when you use a badger brush. Good to hear your lather flies everywhere...that's the way to do it! 😂 Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
I like to use a boar brush with Lea soap from Spain. Have you tried it ? It is good . I see that a store near me has a omega boar brush on sale. I may get one . ( I have 2 cheaper boar brushes )
Honestly? I couldn't recommend it now. I mean, it's a great brush and the tradition of owning a Simpsons badger brush is for me, really nice, but to be honest, some of the brushes being put out by artisans and also, the badger knots, synthetic knots and handles from Yaqi and DS Cosmetic, outperform the Chubby 2 at a fraction of the price. If you have the money to,spend, get a Chubby 2 but you can get a lot more brushes for the same cost and they'll perform just the same or even better than this brush. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Thanks! The vintage Gillette razors are the mutts nuts! They still shave great and feel so smooth even after all these years. Have a great weekend. Kevy 👍
Fantastic shave Kevy! You might smell like a British gentleman now but I doubt a gentleman would drain his badger on video lol 😂 Have a fantastic weekend mate and break a leg on Tuesday 👍👍👍
@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel I only used Gillette Platinum’s a few times when a fellow wetshaver sent me like 2 or 3 cause I wanted to try them. And I gotta say I didn’t use them long enough to have a bad experience with them. I don’t remember having any problems with them.
Sometimes smoothness is just a particularly good blade out of the pack. We forget that and think we need to switch over to that new blade, only to be disappointed with the next one outta' the pack. XD I'm still chasin' the elusive Unicorn blade. The perfect one. XDD Wished you uploaded more. ;)
You're right about that. Every blade feels different. It's weird! I don't understand it! Lol! I think every de shaver is looking for their Unicorn blade. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀
Hi Kevy. Another great video buddy. Since I know you are into performing I wanted to ask you if you have seen the movie, "The Greatest Showman"? If you have not, you should get it. I think you will love it!
Steve would have reached a 1000 Subs sooner, but I thought it’d be Funny if I Subscribed & then Un-Subscribed, Subscribed & then Un-Subscribed for awhile. Haha, Lol, Jk 😅👍🏼
Those corners ...beneath the ears ...on the neck.... Toughest spots for almost all wet shavers....i havent discovered a proper angle for it in last 12 years
Two fine things. Chubby brushes and chubby women...what's with this non traditional way of lathering up I do not approve...nor does Riley...he thinks your silly....the brush is great but very expensive..that's why it was a gift....how does the slim compare with the progress....The blades are immaterial since they get used twice and canned ..why risk a nick...I'm willing to guess that you have a few thousand of them to use Like most video shavers. People send you a lot of stuff...I have a couple of Parker "Barn Door" shavers. Very noisey. Aver shave..at best.....well enjoy your day...practice your lines and "Break a leg". Cheers!👍🐕🐕🎭🎭🎭
CHEAPER EASY TO USE""""""""my Simpson T3 Trafalgar is the best brush on the market today it's like buying a $200 badger hair brush, no cleaning the brush, no need for a brush stand, fast drying time, well not fall apart like a badger hair can, cheap to buy, i have owned it for 5 years with no problems wheelchair Larry.
3:05 this has to be among my favourite RUclips moments anywhere. When Kevy asks you 'how are you doing' I can tell he really means it. Genuine guy. Cheers sir.
Mmmm TOBS sandalwood, definitely one of the best. Great shave Kevy.
Thanks Kevy for the mention and your support of me and my channel. Break a leg with your play coming up,I wish I could come and watch,it's one of my favourite film and T.V series.
Hey Steve. No problem. I'm glad your on the way to 2K subs now. I can't wait for the play to start, it's very funny. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Ahh, is so warming your smile at the beginning of each video, you lighten everyone's day with that smile, Kevy. BTW, I got enamored of Riley. And let me tell you, my wife is the dog lover in the house. I love them too, but the two dogs that we have are hers, but Riley is just a sweet caramel. My daughters loved him too.

Hey Martin! Riley always steals the show. He is such an adorable little dog. That razor is incredible. This was an excellent shave using some classic gear. Wish your wife a very happy birthday from me 🎉🎂 I hope your shave with the K1 goes as well as this shave did. Have a great weekend. Kevy 😀👍
Ahhh, the Slim Adjustable...one of my all time favorites! Great shave, Kevy!!
Enjoyed the video as always Kevy, very entertaining. TOBS Sandalwood is one of my favorites. I visited their shop when I was in London in January 2017.
Thanks Paul. You'll know exactly what I meant about that sandalwood smell as soon as you ennter the shop right? Beautiful! Have a good weekend. Kevy 👍
Super shave Kevy! I always feel like a true gentleman when using TOBS Sandalwood products. Scent is sublime and classic as you say. Nice razor, I have three including a new, never used gold Aristocrat slim adjustable(collector piece). Another great video and shave. Thanks. Enjoy!
Thanks Terry. TOBS Sandalwood has a very classic gentleman scent, I love it! Wow, an unused Gold Aristocrat? Sounds nice. Have a great weekend. Kevy 😀
Great shave. When I visit London while I'm visiting the UK, I'll stop by TOBS and other shave shops in London. The Slim is at the top of the list of vintage razors I want to get and it will hopefully be a great razor for me. Good luck on your play on Tuesday and I'm outta here for the weekend
Thanks. Those London shaving shops are an excellent place to visit. I hope you find a Gillette slim soon. All the best. Kevy 👍
I've started to ring my badger knots out like Nick shaves does,squeeze and a little twist.I've found it gets more water out of the knot.Love that brush,classic shave.
Good tip. I think that water was from the water I added to the brush at the start. Chubby brushes are great. Cheers. Kevy 👍

I am female and just discovered Taylor's it is fab for leg shaving with my Merkur 23C. I love the grapefruit

Just to let you know . After 2 mouths of wet shaving i am getting the hang of it . Thank you for all your videos . They really help and keep a person interested in wet shaving . PS. You are funny as hell !
Thank you Dev, that's a very kind comment to leave. I hope you continue to enjoy every shave. All the best. Kevy 👍
Are you a real actor ?

It's amazing how well these vintage Gillette razors still shave after all these years. TOBS Sandalwood is lovely. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Having a very pronounced dimple, or clef in my chin, It amazes me when I see shavers going across their chin so effortlessly.
Great shave kevy! I just acquired two vintage gillettes. A Gillette black beauty and a Gillette fat boy. Cleaned and sanitized them last night, so I'm going to try one of them this afternoon. I can't wait!! Thanks for the warning about adjusting the vintage gillettes. I would have adjusted them the same way I would have adjusted my variant and futur.

Nice one. Let me know how the shave went. Yes, be careful adjusting the old vintage Gillette's. Gotta look after them! 👍 Cheers. Kevy 😀
Kevy Shaves
The shave went GREAT!!! Used the black beauty last night, next time will be the fat boy. Too bad I can't post pics on here, or I'd show my shave den.
Nice classic razor and products Kevy . great one .

Take care hope everyone is well🙏🏻
Alan H
Nice one Kevy, always good to see someone use a few classics. 😌👏
Like a lot of people, TOBS sandalwood was the first cream I bought online, amazing scent.
Good luck with the play. 👍
Thank you Dave. Can't beat the classics. Have a relaxing weekend. Kevy 👍😀
Horse having a pee and saying you're so chubby to a brush? I love it as usual, Kevy! LOL! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Lol! Cheers Manny :)
Hi Kevy, may I ask what you prefer, the Slim or Fatboy?
Fatboy 👍
Excellent shave Kevy I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks abe, you too mate. All the best. Kevy 😀👍
Kevy, I’m thinking about getting a Chubby 2 in Super Badger. What is your favorite brush?
My favourite badger brush is the Yaqi 24mm high mountain white brush. I would say it's as soft and performs as well as my Chubby 2 for much less money. Simpson brushes are fantastic and they're great to be able to own one, but for me, just now, Yaqi are producing some very good and very affordable brushes. There's lots of artisan brushmakers out there too just now. You have such a wide and varied choice. Let me know what you go for. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Kevy Shaves ~ I looked at the Yaqi and they have nice looking brushes at incredible prices...I’ll most likely order one in the next couple weeks. Last night I ordered a Chubby 2 in Super Badger, a Semogue Owners Club Boar brush and a RazoRock Plissoft for a travel brush. After watching your video with the Gillette 195 Fatboy I placed an order for it also. You’ve definitely fueled a passion for me to try new things in the wet shaving world.
Kevy Shaves ~ Well I just ordered a Yaqi Mysterious Space Color Handle in Silvertip Badger. I couldn’t resist at such a price.
chubby and slim, good combo!
have a nice weekend kevy
Ha ha! I've never thought of it like that. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀
Hello can you please tell me how do you dry your Simpson’s chubby 2? I recently obtained the same brush but haven’t used it yet because I can’t find a stand for it.
I tie it around the cord on a window blind, upside down. It doesn't fit any of my stands either! I guess you could get a piece of string and hang it upside down from anywhere. Kevy 👍

Thanks! I also found a link on maggards razors for a extra wide stainless steel razor specifically for Chubby 2 and other specific large brushes.

Thanks for the link. Kevy 👍
What's with this badger taking residence in a Scottish castle ? (I heard it on the news on the radio).
Really? I don't know about that! The Haggis won't be happy! 😂
Among tobs and the body shop maca root which one do you find is slickest.
TOBS is slicker in my opinion. Kevy 👍
Nice shave Kevy . I wish I had a razer like that . Maybe I have to much water in my super badger brush . It makes lather like crazy and I get it all over the place . Lol
Thanks Dev. It's tricky getting the water just right when you use a badger brush. Good to hear your lather flies everywhere...that's the way to do it! 😂 Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
I like to use a boar brush with Lea soap from Spain. Have you tried it ? It is good . I see that a store near me has a omega boar brush on sale. I may get one . ( I have 2 cheaper boar brushes )
Awesome as usual,hey ive always liked the way Sean Connery talks ,can you do a impression of him in an upcoming video?😀
Haven't seen you use the Big Konggg in awhile either....😉
I'll try to remember. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Beautiful shave maestro !!! )
It is Friday here too Kevy , what day do you go to the pub ? Lol in Toronto we start on thru night and go to Sunday night . Well not every night . Lol
😂😂
Would you recommend the chubby Kevy.
Honestly? I couldn't recommend it now. I mean, it's a great brush and the tradition of owning a Simpsons badger brush is for me, really nice, but to be honest, some of the brushes being put out by artisans and also, the badger knots, synthetic knots and handles from Yaqi and DS Cosmetic, outperform the Chubby 2 at a fraction of the price. If you have the money to,spend, get a Chubby 2 but you can get a lot more brushes for the same cost and they'll perform just the same or even better than this brush. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Kevy is the BEST!
WOW superfast shave
These days i am suffering from a razor which is a tad too agressive....shave is fine ...feel is a little not that pleasent
That's not good. Maybe try a few different blades to see if that helps? Cheers. Kevy 😀
Excellent shave Kevy! I have a Gillette Fatboy and absolutely love it! Hope you have a great wekeend
Thanks! The vintage Gillette razors are the mutts nuts! They still shave great and feel so smooth even after all these years. Have a great weekend. Kevy 👍
Kevy Shaves amen to that! Lol
Fantastic shave Kevy! You might smell like a British gentleman now but I doubt a gentleman would drain his badger on video lol 😂 Have a fantastic weekend mate and break a leg on Tuesday 👍👍👍
Ha ha! I wouldn't fancy draining a badger! All the best Tony. Kevy 👍
Yeah I also love GSB’s in my Slim, Black Beauty, And FatBoy
@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel I only used Gillette Platinum’s a few times when a fellow wetshaver sent me like 2 or 3 cause I wanted to try them. And I gotta say I didn’t use them long enough to have a bad experience with them. I don’t remember having any problems with them.
Some of my favorite DE blades are...
Gillette Silver Blue’s
Gillette Nacet’s
Gillette PermaSharp
Personna Red’s
Treet Platinum
Astra Green’s
Gillette Super Thin’s
Feather (sometimes 😅)
i forgot to add you do greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat videoooooooooooooos Merry Christmas. hugggggggggggs wheelchair larry
Love my Gillette Slim!
Brilliant razors. Kevy 👍
👌
My Favourite Kevy and always has been..!!
Cheers Chris. Kevy 👍
That horse really wanted you to have a great shave.
😂
Sometimes smoothness is just a particularly good blade out of the pack. We forget that and think we need to switch over to that new blade, only to be disappointed with the next one outta' the pack. XD
I'm still chasin' the elusive Unicorn blade. The perfect one. XDD
Wished you uploaded more. ;)
You're right about that. Every blade feels different. It's weird! I don't understand it! Lol! I think every de shaver is looking for their Unicorn blade. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀
Hi Kevy. Another great video buddy. Since I know you are into performing I wanted to ask you if you have seen the movie, "The Greatest Showman"? If you have not, you should get it. I think you will love it!
Thanks Chris. Nice to hear from you mate. I haven't had time to see it but it's on my list. I've heard very good things about it. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀
Great shave on your tuf Scottish skin kevy
It was! Cheers joy! Kevy 👍
Happy bengali new year day or শুভ নববর্ষ kevy today is our Indian bengali culture new year.
Great shave on a friday, the 13th.
Thanks! 😀👍
I thought it was only me who took this long to shave...haha
Ha ha! I think this shave was pretty quick by my standards! 😂 Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Steve would have reached a 1000 Subs sooner, but I thought it’d be Funny if I Subscribed & then
Un-Subscribed, Subscribed & then Un-Subscribed for awhile.
Haha, Lol, Jk 😅👍🏼
SoCal Shave 😂
Cold blooded. lol
😲😂😂😂👍
Those corners ...beneath the ears ...on the neck.... Toughest spots for almost all wet shavers....i havent discovered a proper angle for it in last 12 years
I find the buffing thing works well for me for tough little spots like that. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
💈👍🏼
4:45 :D Hahahahaahaah :)
😂😂🐴
So your voice warmed up, eh'?..... Are sure a 'deviated septum' didn't have something to do with it? :p
Lol! Maybe that's why my snoring keeps Mrs. Kevy awake at night!! Lol! Cheers. Kevy :)
It's about time you pulled out your chubby!
Ha ha! That sounds very naughty! 😲Lol! 😂 Brilliant. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀
👍🏻🏒
Still playing with your chubby, hahaha.
You better believe it! 😵😜
Two fine things. Chubby brushes and chubby women...what's with this non traditional way of lathering up
I do not approve...nor does Riley...he thinks your silly....the brush is great but very expensive..that's why it was a gift....how does the slim compare with the progress....The blades are immaterial since they get used twice and canned ..why risk a nick...I'm willing to guess that you have a few thousand of them to use
Like most video shavers. People send you a lot of stuff...I have a couple of Parker "Barn Door" shavers. Very noisey. Aver shave..at best.....well enjoy your day...practice your lines and "Break a leg". Cheers!👍🐕🐕🎭🎭🎭
The slim is slightly better than the Progress for me. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Kevy your bleeding a lot. Are you okay? Lol
Lol! Blood is ok...sometimes!
CHEAP Muhle r89 safety razor WITH Muhle r89 HEAD ONLY WITH IKON HANDLE better shave Merry Christmas. hugggggggggggs wheelchair larry
