The Story of Geo and SN:
• The Story of Geofatboy...
Have A Great Shave, Have A Great Day!
Geo
First time commenting. Geofatboy is the father figure male role model who has taught me how to shave with confidence. You're a blessing to so many people, including myself! Thanks, Geo!
yes same, I learned a lot from him
An April Fools day video for the ages. On point, Geo.
Been watching this channel for almost a decade, I was about 15 when I first watched a geofatboy video. My dad died when I was 16, and never had a chance to show me how to shave properly but I learned everything I need to know and more from geo.
I’m sure your father would be proud.
Sorry to hear. That's a difficult age
Yes I learned how to lather properly from geo and now I’m indebted to him for this 😄
Well it is April Fools Day after all😱 Geo ain't afraid of nuthin', maybe in a week or so when his skin heals we'll see him in a new video. That was hard to watch but you managed to pull it off, good go. Thanks Geo✌
You could probably fry an egg on his face after that shave😂
I know a lot of people struggle with it, but I suggest trying to switch hands when switching sides of the face, for both lathering and shaving. Takes some getting used to but it helps reduce variables and makes things more consistent.
You had me there for a minute Geo!😂👊
I'm 19 and when I first started shaving around 16/17, I didn't know how to do it. For the past 2 years, I used to apply cold water to my face before shaving and even though I have thin hair, it was still hard to get rid of the hair. I ended up cutting myself a lot because the hair follicles were tight from the cold water.
From watching you recently, I can now shave properly, by applying hot water to my face before the shave to soften the hairs and I don't press the blade hard against my skin anymore because the hair comes off so easily now. I just wanted to say thank you for the advice and I hope you continue to show people how to shave the proper way.
Geo,The Stone Cold Steve Austin of Shaving and That's The Bottom Line!!!
Appreciated! So many of these videos feature guys without much facial hair so it's helpful to see someone with thick beard growth do this.
Good April's fool prank 👍
Not as good as gilette's and all the other catrage razor's makers very lucrative prank appart from the reasons geo gives us and we know ourselves from experience. The cost of the blades for them just doesn't to my mind justify using catrage razors. I took a fit of nostalgia this morning (I'm Irish no explanation needed)and decided to get a match3 like my other one that I gave to my nephew when I started de and straight razor shaving well the nostalgia wasn't long leaving me when i seen the price of the blades to be replaced by the memory of the razor burn it gave me.
This is the first video where Geo didn’t smile the whole time haha. Gotta love Geo looking out for all shavers. Dr.Shave!
He definitely took one for the team with that shave. I gave up shaving with catrage razors because they gave me razor burn and left my face all red, now I shave with a combination of safety razor and shavette cut throath(working my way up to the original cut throath razor) and at this stage shaving with a catrage razor is a more frightening prospect than the DE razor and shavette combined was.
I do this occasionally when I don't want a DE shave and it's late at night. I use ARKO shave stick with a Proraso boar brush. I do 2 passes exactly the same as a DE razor. Very quick .... still not my preference but it works especially when tired
The airline lost my luggage, with my safety razor in it, since I haven’t shaved with one of these in a very long time, this video was a fantastic refresher. Thanks for putting it up there, my safety razor should arrive by the end of the week.
You got me till the end Geo😂 Geo working on his early summer tan 😎
best tutorial out there thanks man
Very good and educational video! Wish I had seen it before I changed over to DE shaving as it may have helped. But now that I've switched I'm NOT going back.
I started wet shaving, a month ago, with a cartridge after decades of using an electric shaver. I also use cream from a tube and use the three-pass method. I make my cartridges last longer by stropping them on the underside of my forearm. That method seems to work well.
I never thought id see you do a complete cart shave
I left the world of cartridge razors and fellas simply need to understand that a quality DE razor will give them NOT ONLY a better shave,but save them money. I'm telling the world! Lol..I will never go back. My R41 is my baby
Hahaha, your first pass sounded like a cat scratching the door 😂
You Reminded me of lynne Abrams when he shaved with a safety razor before some years ! Good performance Geo
April fools day aside, and being close to Geo's age,.As a teenager who went to Catholic school, the Gillette good news twin was decent. Then thought the Mach 3 was great. Fusion, its tearing and cost brought me to the safety razor.
I tend to rinse a cartridge more often during the shave. I use a cartridge to do “ pickup time, baby”, as PaulH says. I have a spot on my neck that’s tough to get with a DE, so I use a Harry’s Truman.😊 Thanks Geo for the vids!
Looks like you've been enjoying the sun! I thought for sure this was going to be an April Fool's joke 😂 But you fooled me.
I was 100% expecting this to be an April Fool's gag but leave it to Geo to show us how it's done. I find it almost impossible to get a good shave with a cartridge anymore but I used one for 30 years before switching to safety razors. If you are on the fence I think it's worth trying a safety razor because I get such better shaves. Thanks Geo!
I'm the very same as you shaved with catrage razors most of my life switched to safety razor in April and the ironic thing is the safety razor is much less likely to nick you or give you razor burn the shavette is a bit more likely to nick you but gives a great shave and no razor burn either, both much better than the catrage razor in my oppinion
@@Minime163 it is ironic. I always nicked my neck next to my Adam's apple with a cartridge razor and I very rarely do that with a safety razor. There's literally nothing I prefer a cartridge razor for compared to a safety razor. I'm glad to hear that you gave it a try and that it's working so well for you!
Gillette skin guard is the best. They’re pricy but each blade lasts me 2-3 weeks face & head. I’ve tried every razor out there & skin guard gives me the best results
11:30 Thank you very much for actually showing me how to do it correctly. Love your video!! Thanks.. i needed some instructions because sometimes I cut my face and need to know the correct method for not having a cut face.
Glad I could help. Enjoy!
GEO! what are you doing? Shaving with a modern 5 blade razor. I can get a bbs with a 2 blade. But it still can't replace my SINGLE edge thirty four C. I guess I'm a die hard single edge fan! Thanks to YOU!!! GEO
Hi geo, sometimes when you are
in a hurry it is easy to use a cartridge.
Fast and furious....
Still the safety is a better face protector and gives another pleasure.
Safety razor shaves just as fast when you get used to them I've been wet shaving scence I started shaving in the 80's and the safety razor was no great change from the catrage in technique but a much better and comfortable shave
Never tried the 5 blade "fusion", but used a mach 3.
Brought a Gillette King C and pack of blades and left the cartridge razors behind.
I then got myself a Bluebeard Cutlass (apparently the same head as a Maggard V3A?), and have just added a Muhle R41 to my collection.
Tried a shavette but not really got into that much so far, didnt seem to give a much closer shave than a DE, but did result in a couple of nicks and a bit of razor burn lol
My first shave with the shavette was much the same then I started shaving with better blades Wilkinsonsword in my case got a good shave the first time but not as good as the safety razor second time didn't thicken the shaving lather left it slightly thinner than normal and got at least as smooth a shave as the safety razor and no Nick's.
The first derby blades were so bad that when I got 3/4 nicks with the Wilkinsonsword I was delighted
Hey Geo, have you ever done any videos of mixing different shaving cream combinations, such as lavender and peppermint and sandalwood etc.? Just wondering, thanks!
Hi geo Godbless you always and your family. I want to know which is your best face shaver in this moment. Please be honest. Your best DE and Cartridge razor
Wait a minute…. let me check the date Geo!!
Excellent video! An old trick I learned when shaving with a cartridge was to rinse it with hot water, and then plunge the razor into some ice water or as cold as your tap produces. That greatly reduces razor burn. After use, I stored it in a small jar of mineral oil with a few drops of cinnamon or wintergreen oil. That seemed to keep it sharper for longer and was a disinfectant of sorts. Like you, though, I prefer using safety razors. Again, your videos are outstanding!
Good tip I gave my match3 to my nephew about 2 months ago after I started shaving with the safety razor in April I shaved a beard with it first shave with the safety razor and got 4 more shaves and no razor burn with it so that's me finished with catrage's as buying one would be a waste of money when I have a razor I like with much cheaper blades
Great video for those who still use the cartridge razor :) honestly, what I am doing recently is to start my shave with the Rockwell R1 razor, then switch to a safety razor with a higher blade exposure (this is one I luckily found in the market recently, it was pretty cheap and it's more aggressive) and at the end I use my shavette so I can get the baby smooth skin I want. I want to upgrade and find a better quality safety razor that gives me a closer shave compared to the Rockwell R1. I am new with the safety razor so probably my skill still isn't there but using the Rockwell r1 for full body shave is awesome. Do you know about the Evok Razor blades? On my safety razor they feel really amazing.
If i didn't know it was april 1st, watching the sultan of shave playing with a plastic razor would have tipped me off.
The Fusion is an excellent razor and I get dozens of shaves out of a single cartridge. It's just a matter of preference: double edge or cartridge.
Nothing wrong with the catrage razor for shaving but it burned the hell out of me no issues like that with either the DE razor or shavette.
With today being April 1st I thought you were going to say:
1. Open the garbage
2. Throw your cartridge razor in the garbage
3. Shave with a safety, single edge, or straight edge razor.
That’s the kind of pretentious thing I’d expect from most shaving channels but I like Geo because he’s chill and just gives unbiased info to help anyone. Even ppl that use cartridges.
@@Noadvantage246 sorry I was only joking because it was April 1st when he posted. I actually shaved with a cartridge for 30+ years and occasionally still use one if I’m in a hurry.
Utáltam ezt a borotvát, bedugul szőrrel, mint ha nyúznám az arcom és nagyon drága is a penge hozzá.
Sometimes I do use the fusion 5 or my mach 3 razors
Sorry Geo looks like you did not enjoy that 😆- great video as always
That sure looks painful. Haven't shaved with a cartridge razor in many years. Love shaving with an old fashioned DE safety razor. Geo got me hooked DE safety razors looonnng time ago.
I'm glad you don't color your hair anymore. To me, this is only for men who have problems with aging. We don't have gray hair, it's frots because we're cool.
Nice shave Geo.
😂
I stopped using cartridge razors about 1 Year ago, when my son had a Mühle R98 leftover.
Ever since I uses DE safetyrazors. I’d like to find a vintage stropper for DE razorblades, but thet are wery rare.
I use a shower mirror and shave in the shower. Easy to clean no mess in sink.
Hey Geo use some spf lotion mate, otherwise you need some salt and bbq sauce.... ;)
Never going back to That
@@dappershavesAgreed sir 👍🏼 Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰
I can't describe how much I hate cartridge razors. And they are still used by most of the people... incredible
Hi bro, still getting painful 'digging skin' only on the chin and under the nose, any tips to avoid the pain? Thanks for the info.
Shave after a shower, use pre-shave-good cream, sharp blade, proper angle.
i tried a Mach 3 last year after 5 years of DE. it's imposible to escape the huge iritation on my nech after ATG with multiblade.
You could use the Gillette heated razor
I still think decent electric shaver is way easier on your skin and easier to use. BUT there is something about classic DE razor shaving
Hi the safety razor is better, I just want to know which blade can be used on a sensitive skin, Astra, Gillette or Supermax?
From someone also with sensitive skin, i tried a few including Feather blades thinking perhaps the sharper the better and found one that doesnt seem to irritate my skin as much, the Wilkinson Sword DE blades.
I like cartridge razors. I like safety razors and straight razors too. Life is about choices. I’d hate to have to shave every day with the same razor, cream and balm.
After using a safety razor I’ve never looked back
BOOM! 👀
Sorry, but I just can't see myself every using one of these again. Great video though Geo.
Good to know, I guess.
Good to know how to drive a 3 speed on the column too.
Yea I don’t think i will ever use a cartridge again after being exposed to the wet shaving world
I still go back to my precision trimmer lol
You totally got me! 8:10 legit looked like you just had some pilk tho
hi thank you for your videos. would like to see more I use a Gillette fusion razor I can't get a good shave
My favorite cartridge is the Gillette Skin Guard that fits on any Fusion(R) compatible handle but only has 2 blades and they are spaced so as not to have hysteresis effect so does not cause ingrown hairs. My favorite handle for these cartridges is the Parker metal Travel (short) handle. Works well for me traveling or at home. Also something to use in a hurry or when traveling is Cremo cream or hair conditioner. Many of the hair conditioners in hotels work surprising well for shaving and you really don’t have to rinse the cartridges that often with hair conditioner.
Funny 😂man
Hmm... I've never tried those. I have an old fusion handle laying around somewhere. May try out of curiosity.
you dont get a close shave with the skin guard
@@hassyg4083 speak for yourself please. I get a very acceptably close shave with the SkinGuard. All beards grow out. Nobody but me is rubbing my face. I use the SkinGuard when working during the week as a physician and shaving every week day so comfort and lack of skin irritation are infinitely more important to me than closeness and I definitely don’t want ingrown hairs that hysteresis exacerbate or outright cause.
It seems that you had much faster shaving with the cartridge razor, than the DE razor. But, if we talk about the consequences, irritation is much common with cartridge razors, and you don't have it, because you have a pretty thick skin. I would lose a layer of my face skin if I did the same.
Off the topic. I realized that we have two angles when we use our DE razors. I realized that in periods when I have a beard, and I shave (without lather) my throatline every two days. I realized that I sometimes have a smooth shaving of my throat hair (when my angle is right), and sometimes I feel the resistance of the hair, with a bit of a pinch. Then I realized that there are two angles of shaving with DE razors. The first one is with the razor more slanted and shaving is very smooth. Something like you call 'skimming', when you shave your chees. The other angle is not so good. To be more precise, the good angle is when you raise your DE razor handle, and the bad angle is when you lower it a bit. This is not a good angle, because it is more opened than the first one.
one thing about De shaving is it's no longer possible to buy blades in supermarkets or drugstores in nottinghamshire uk it's all online now they killing De shaving they sell the razer with 5 blades once you have used those you cannot get new blades local
GEOFATBOY PROMOTING CARTRIDGE RAZORS?! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!!
Ha Ha! you know better than that!
I use cartridge razors.
I don't know how you guys do it i tried thousands of time and i can not get a close shave with a safety razor argh
There are a number of possibilities. You may need a more aggressive razor or the blades are not sharp enough for your beard type. It may be your angle of attack might be wrong or your preparation of your beard is not great. It could be a combo of all these things, but it's up to you to experiment and find out what works best for you.
First time and only cut my face one
Geo is so cool, that he shaves his balls with R41 GS using Feather blades 😂
I love you and your videos, but this hurts a little bit xD That is a crappy razor and it is NOT a silvertip brush, but a synthetic! Bad aprils fools shave today xD
One pass is enough.
Uncle Geo with a cartridge again 🤣🤣. No secret I love your videos and I have learnt a lot about DE from your years of experience. My 2 cents of advice if I may, you are doing too many strokes with that 5 blade cart. It might cause skin irritation to some people. Please try flat contact of the blade to your skin and single small strokes on your next Cart video. Ask me to shut up if I’m talking too much to the God of shaving, but please try the technique on your next cart shave. Have a great shave, have a great day 😎👍🏼
Give looks like you were having a crappy timr doing that with a cartrage
Who the hell has the time for this crazy routine??
YES!!!
I was getting tired of the safety razor videos.
It’s like listening to a robot!
Those razors make my face hurt for a day.
The pulling and tugging of the cartridge razor is why I switched over to DE shaving over ten years ago.
I don't understand, why is this an April's fool prank? 😅 I genuinely don't know...
You like cartridge don’t you?
Geofatboy why are you so red?
How to get the best shave with a cartridge razor = don't use one.
exactly do as I did for the last 2 years after using catrage razor for 40 years grow a beard until you experience an epiffaney that your old dads DE razor that's been in your sock drawer for the last few years after you saved it from been thrown out from been in his bathroom cupboard for over 40 years gives a much better shave without any razor burn.
As a DE shaver, that was painful to watch
April Fools👀
Nope, not gonna try it.
if you prefer cartridge everyone atleast use a shave brush and cream. you will get better result and better skin condition. ditch the canned crap
Cartridge razors?
Oh no…..
😂
Oh no! I won't watch this 😅
LOL I don’t know if you use old blades or just don’t know how to use a cartridge but I have a thick dark jewish beard and either using the Mach 3 or pro glide I never have any problems with the razor getting clogged so easily? It usually glides nicely and takes off the hair and I almost never get nicks.
Most people, including myself, find that DE safety razors offer a better shave because they cut the hair cleaner. The cartridge razors tend to pull… Not to mention they cost more than a pack of DE blades.
@@bluegrassman3040 They don’t pull or tug when I use them, the Mach 3 cuts clean through even when I have almost a weeks worth of growth and the blades last a long time for me. I usually buy the bulk pack which saves me money and isn’t to expensive. I never get a good shave from a D/E even after 3 passes it can’t get my upper lip or chin area as good as a cartridge. Although most cartridge razors like Harry and dollar shave are garbage I stick with Gillette.
I don’t know I own the King C Gillette and another art of shaving D/E and I just don’t feel like those shave good enough, I need a really close shave for my dark beard plus it’s really difficult to get the upper lip with a D/E, I much prefer the Mach 3 to anything else I have shaved with but if you want to change my mind and send me a D/E that shaved close I’ll give it a try.
Buy an adjustable Razor, try the vintage Gillettes or Merkur progress.
I was going to say, just get a good Merkur Razor, Muhle, or Edwin jagger. Those all shave better than the cheaper ones.
You need something more aggressive. King c gillette is pretty mild. Try shimming the razor, see if it gets any better
Well I’m not wasting another dime on D/E since every razor I have tried doesn’t work well for me, if you guys want to send me an agressive open comb to try I’ll give it a shot.
I used to shave with a Parker DE razor when I first started wet shaving back in 2011. It was better than the Fusion that I had been using, but not as good as the Gillette Slim made in 1962 that belonged to my grandfather. Those older Gillette and the Merkur, Edwin Jagger, Muhle. etc., razors are heavier than the cheaper ones. The extra weigh helps the razor cut better.
Cartridge razors are ass. Maybe in an emergency, if there's such a thing as a shaving emergency, I'd use one. But otherwise no, no thank you.
