😊😁 Not that I know, but my grandfather that I do not remember, he died when I was very young. Was a barber , back when real straight razors were used by barbers. And shaving was their main business. Maybe I got a bit of skills from him.. But I think it just needs practice ! And I got a lot of practice ! Cheers my friend, and thanks for stopping by !
Found your channel just a few weeks ago, really enjoying the content. Just started with a straight edge and enjoying it and learning a lot from people like yourself! Obrigado
There's a lot of great videos here on youtube.. My advise is try everything for yourself, do not believe on everything you hear, what works for me, might not work for you. And vice versa.. Let me know if you need any help on your straight razor journey! Cheers !
@@pedrotrust I already bought a Yaqi moka 26 after you mentioned the brand in one of your videos, a great brush! Yes, learning and experimenting from different sources is helping me a lot. Can you recommend any online shops in Portugal for shaving materials like creams or is amazon.es/ebay the best option?
Such a uncannily fast professional shave ! And I totally agree with you, iam a newbie on my 40th straight razor shave, bought several makes of new razor, not one was properly shave ready, Boker especially poor. Luckily I have a 15,000 grit stone and T. I. strop paste. Increadably inspiring video! A goal to aim for !
Hey, Pedro. Thanks for the advice on moving your head and not the razor on the fools pass. So much easier with that method. Getting better, and I have that exact straight razor. Smooth shaves brother!!
Hello, sorry, only saw your comment today. 1k naniwa pro to set the bevel, 5k shapton korumaku, Japanese natural , first with slurry made with a diamond plate. Finish with water only. I use mainly x strokes and some circles on the jnat slurry. 1 layer of tape. Strop on linen and leather. You can check my videos, i show exactly what I do.. 😉
As always you make it look super easy. I use the Feather Artist SS which I’m getting quite good at using, but thinking of purchasing a full on straight razor that requires honing and stropping. What would you recommend?
Since you're already using a feather ss, the transition should be easier.. Buy something you like, new I can recomend the brand Revisor , they make super nice looking blades with good quality ! Or search for a used vintage one, if you're member of a shaving group , ask for one shave ready, from someone that hone is razors. If you buy a new one most likely you need to send it to someone to hone. You also have the option of a custom made by a artisan like Drew Dick, Kym Mathias from k.m designs , etc.. Get yourself a good quality strop. After some time you can start honing.. ;) Cheers ! Thanks for stopping by !
Hi ! I've had couple of vintage king cutter's. Great razors ! The new ones are ok, but nothing g special. I wouldn't buy a new one honestly. Between the classic carbon steel and the stainless it's a difficult choice, both have pros and cons. But I could only have one it would be the classic. It just takes a better edge... Thanks for watching !
Great shave. That razor has a nice feedback. When it comes to straight razors what type if grind do you prefer? Hollow? Wedge? Greetings from Budapest, Hungary
I like extra hollow especially on a big blade over 7/8. On a smaller blade like this usually I prefer a heavier grind like Near Wedge or Quarter Hollow.. To be honest I like them all, as long as the edge is good. But 90% of my razors are full hollow, I like the sound and feedback, it's all part of the fun ! Cheers, take care !👍
Hello my friend! Ive got a few that cover all the important bits.. But if there's something you would like to see, I might do it on a next opportunity. Cheers ! Thanks for watching..😉
Your usual shave with poor technique and preparation and lack of skill. Well done. i adopted that sideswipe on the chin myself just cos i like to bleed. Seriously, most straight razors are nothing like shave ready - and that's really hard for a beginner that has no idea and cannot hone, yet you get people saying you can buy a blade for, $11. Using and honing one, priceless. T
😂.. Thanks ! That's why I always say, make sure the razor is honed properly. That's the most important step for a beginner. Otherwise the chances of give up are very high ! Take care, and thanks for stopping by !
Wow, how do you know how to speak so well Portuguese ?! That's definitely not from Google translator..😊👏👏 Believe it or not, Russian is the language i most want to learn, but it's so difficult! Spasibo!!
Pedro, you must have some samurai DNA in you, your blade skills are seriously good. Great shave.

Great ! It's not a race, its supposed to be enjoyed.. ;)

Great honing and your usual impeccable shave. Be safe.
Thank you my friend!

You're welcome !
Thank you for stopping by..
Take care.
Seriously thinking about trying a straight, but you made that look so easy. Which know isn't the case. 👌
Thank you, try it with a cheap shavette with disposable blades first.. ;)
Practice, that's all it takes..
Can you tell me about honing what stones and technique used?grit Stones, half strokes, 1-tape layer or nothing and so on?

Hi Pedro, Great shave. Boker Classic vs Boker Stainless Steel (with Olive Wood handle). Which one do you prefer and did you use 'Boker King Cutter ?
Hi !
I've had couple of vintage king cutter's.
Great razors !
The new ones are ok, but nothing g special. I wouldn't buy a new one honestly.
Between the classic carbon steel and the stainless it's a difficult choice, both have pros and cons. But I could only have one it would be the classic. It just takes a better edge...
Thanks for watching !
Great shave as always Pedro!. You make it look too easy. Advise the razor's owner that he shouldn't go as fast as you do.
Thank you my friend!
Good to hear from you... 👍
Take care !
Great shave. That razor has a nice feedback. When it comes to straight razors what type if grind do you prefer? Hollow? Wedge? Greetings from Budapest, Hungary

@@pedrotrust Pedro thanks and by the way how does a 5 dollar gold dollar razor feel compared to this boker? Thanks
@@borbelyhaz321 Being honest, if honed right and fitted with better scales feels the same..
Need more honing videos!

@@pedrotrust Yes, I watched your videos, but maybe you changed technique or stones=)
@@pedrotrust could you do a video on honing a smiling razor? Those are so tricky.
@@christiansalazar4604 Already done:

So usually Bokers which geometric issues have?
