We're really happy with Union and the response we're getting back from people is excellent. Thank you for the review and all the help you have given to Moon Soaps! You are the best!
I was terrified of Feather blades too, but it has become my go to blade. Close shave with a lot less irritation. Angel has fallen, is the best of the 3 movies!
Gr8 Vid. I think using the vintage and classics will re-kindle some of us with our neglected toys, too. Nice---I now need to find my Merkur and use it.Cheers
Nice one, Ken! That made a great lather. I'm really starting to think more about "classic" barbershop scents. I got Stirling Soaps take on it and my wife really likes it! I might have to investigate others take on it, too. Union might be the next one. Have a great weekend!
Congrats on 13k, just keeps growing! On blades I have found overall that the 2nd use of a blade is normally the best - good balance between sharpness and smoothness and you can go that little bit faster with it.
Great Shave Ken The Union Soap is Awesome 😀😊 For the Winter Brush I Envision a White Bristle Brush With a Candy Cane Striped Handle as The Limited Edition Kensurfs Winter Shave With Peppermint Shave Soap 😮😊😀👍🏼
The Astra Greens are my favorite blades. I use them all the time. Really good blade for me. Keep up the awesome shaves Ken! Congrats on the 13K subscribers!
sniperwolfjs there most ppls fav .. I haven’t use them long enough to make that determination but so far my favorite blade is Gillette Silver blue, next in line in no particular order is PolSilver Voskhod Personna Red 7oclock yellow feather ... really want to try Wilkinson Sword and PermaSharp!
I like the Personna reds, Gillette Silver Blues, Astra Greens, Parker blades, Nacets, and Polsilvers are my favorite blades. Those have been the ones that I use that show no irritation and get the job done no matter what razor I use.
Astra Green was my favorite blade upon entering this hobby but that was well over a decade ago. Past several years, Pol Silver Super Iridium, Bolzano and Feather are my go to in all razors mild, or aggressive. I also came to conclusion that the Feathers are not scary at all but a very necessary tool (with my thick Sicilian facial hair) to achieve a DFS every time. Especially, with an R41 because it's as you said; truly a one pass shave. You can go for the second but it's not needed.
It’s funny when I first started shaving I bought a EJ DE89 it came with 1 feather blade I bought 100 Gillette Wilkinson Sword blades as at that time they were your go to blades After 2-3 shaves on DE89 I switched to the Gillette Wilkinson Sword blades any way to cut a long story short I got Feather blades again with another razor Since then that’s basically all I use so bought 100 Feather
Great shave DS Cosmetics makes a good brush and they are currently sending brushes to a few Utube stars I bought a Silver Tip back in January this year for around 25-26 AUD you can’t get them at that price now
airdbreck The Scottish Australian 👍👍They had produced my limited edition and now my Summer 2019 brushes. They are great products. My Winter 2019 is being produced as we speak👍💈
Congratulations, Ken! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I always look forward to learning new things about your techniques and new product reviews. Astra greens are my favorite blades right now. Can't beat the price too!
Great shave Ken. Congrats on the 13K subscribers. Astra green blades are good solid blades and seem to work well in any razor. I've had no issues with them at all.
Nice Vid. I use the Astra Green blades regularly. The soap/balm combo sounds like a winner. I look forward to your next brush, can’t wait to see what they come up with.
Yeah I’m not gonna lie I’m not by any means perfect with feathers yet. My fav right now is Gillette Silver Blue &Personna Red. Right under that would be PolSilver and Voskhod. As u know Ken I’ve been Traditional WetShaving for close to 9 or so months now, and I can just remember having no equipment as far as DE shaving goes. Now I have a R41 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable 1949 SuperSpeed and a Merkur Future Clone !! Very glad to say you’ve been a big hand in me starting this fun hobby! Just wanted to say thanks and I appreciate the time u take to just have a shave! 💈😁✌️💈 🌊🌊🏄🏼♂️ Congrats on 13K!! 🍾
Great shave Ken!!!! Congratulations on 13K subscribers! I have to pick up the Merkur Progress, heard a lot of good things about it. I hope you have a great weekend!
Hey boys, I just went to Pasture’s pharmacy on 34th st and wow! I would highly recommend, it’s really invaluable to smell the soap before you purchase. Also congrats ken on 13k! Edit: typo
Nice shave Ken💈💈 I made the mistake of shaving with my Mergress (modified Progress) not properly aligned, the result was disastrous😢 Moon Soaps looked good, really like barbershop scent. So many goodies, so little time😒 Great video and reviews, thanks. Enjoy!
Great video, as always! Don't mind your "shameless plug", lol. I bought the Kensurfs 2019 Summer edition badger brush and love it. Cool colors and the brush is very nice. KOKO!
You mentioned getting rid of the Merkur futur, I've never owned or used one, but did purchase and shaved with the futur clone the Qshave, excellent razor for a small price, a few others have mentioned it as well.
Its a clone, but nowhere near to a Futur. Howevr, the original's a beast, not much forgiving, belonging into experienced hands. Just to mention, its a serious darne close tool. The likes of R41 2nd model.
If I had to choose only one safety razor, it would be the Muhle R41, I use it daily accompanied by a Feather blade with Pre Provance soap and with 2 passes it is a shaving wonder. Greetings and I like the idea of your review's .
@2:41 lol I spotted your mistake right way my friend, If it makes you feel any better Ken, I kept making the same mistake when I first started using the Progress, not only that I also did the same with the Parker Variant XD
aah, Ken - the SKX007 is a classic! I´ve gone deep into micros now, but that one was a favourate of mine for years. Nice shave. I doo have some trouble getting my soaps thick enough. I suspect it's a time thing.
I laughed out loud when you started talking about your watch habit!! Admittedly I got into buying wet shaving supplies after I realized that my watch habit was far too expensive! P.S. Congrats on 13K
Since you mentioned Old Spice back there. Do you know if they are still making shaving creams and aftershaves? I looked on Amazon earlier just out of curiosity and found some tubes of Old Spice, but then read below that Old Spice stopped making shaving cream and that there was some doubt about the tubes' authenticity.
Great vid ken. U have ur own line of brushes? If so that’s awesome where can I buy them?also im a professional wrestler so I travel a lot are there any vids on the travel case razors that u may recommend thanks ken
Before i bought all the double edge safety razors i need for a life time i was eyeballing the DE razor you feature in this video. Is the razor light weight? I'll try out this soap some day soon.
hello! congratulations for your channel! A quick question: the warmest regards after shave balm is it a balm or more like lotion? I mean the texture is more fluid or like light cream?
Ken, congrats for 13k subscribers #theworldisnotenough 😉 Never bought this razor as this yellow plastic adjustment knob looks somewhat like cheap crap (designwise...) Maybe I will pull the trigger for a Mergress at a later stage, as it did cure this design flaw (YMMV, just my 2 cent)... did you ever use a Mergress? Greetings from Germany!
Mny of yr shaves go alongside with my own experience, being german, living in the Lion City of Singapore, married to a Chinese lady. Imo the plastic knob Progress is a hidden jewel. The knob is ugly, the tolerances inaccurate. Eric Meir overhaules, tightens tolerances, resulting in the Mergress. Myself consider it far superior, even to most other adjustables like T-model, Rex, Futur, others. Nice knob options, still cheaper than others. Enjoy the next week, cheerio.

Never bought this razor as this yellow plastic adjustment knob looks somewhat like cheap crap (designwise...)
Maybe I will pull the trigger for a Mergress at a later stage, as it did cure this design flaw (YMMV, just my 2 cent)... did you ever use a Mergress?
