Very exciting! Fun to see people trying new stuff with razors. That Gillette Wilkinson has saved a lot of saves for me. Glad I tried them after watching your videos. Cheers
Fantastic shave Ken!!! I like that razor!!! I was actually a block away from the towers when it happened, walking with my brother to get some breakfast. I’ll never forget that moment.
Overhand no overhang-it don’t matter to me. I just received my Osprey yesterday! Super stoked to try it out! Cannot wait! Tomorrow is my first shave with it!
I was getting dressed for church yesterday when the wife entered the room and from behind me she fays “clean your ears Ken Surfs.” Jill speaking to us from beyond. Be good young man👍
Gorgeous razor. Great shave. I’m sure I will never own one. I don’t have that kind of money to spend. But I will be jealous! I saw that Kevy got one. I haven’t found any of the other lucky recipients yet. Good video, Ken. Thanks.
The razor certainly looks unique. I have the Blackbird Ti and it is a wonderful shaver. I am not convinced that having to unscrew the razor in order to change the setting is that efficient. But I am not a designer, just a user.
Nice looking razor. Like you, I've never seen a 3-piece on-the-fly adjustable. I imagine the collectors will be adding that one to their stash. I'm guessing it's going to be one of those "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it" safety razors.
I really enjoy the Proraso "Green" menthol. Has a nice, cool feel. Been wanting to try one of their aftershaves, but never seem to get around to ordering one - maybe I will now! Take care, Ken & thanks for another relaxing visit here in the Shave Den...
Proraso's green aftershave 'Lozione Dopobarba Rinfrescante' (Refreshing Aftershave Lotion) has a very fresh scent. I can't think of any aftershave one can easily obtain locally that is as appealing and can see why it's also available in a huge 400ml bottle. You might want to try a sample before choosing a 100ml or 400ml bottle. To my nose, Proraso's green shaving soap has a decidedly unrefined version of this scent, which is unfortunate.
Just used the green aftershave. It’s a staple in my Den and many others. What a classic but not overwhelming scent. I enjoy much better than the cream scent.
May I ask how would you compare this vs HLS Taiga? I mean agresivity and blade feel. I have Taiga and is almost no blade feel but very close cut (almost too close for daily shaving, but very comfortable). Thank you for review
Have a good one ken , there was a time during the description of the razor that you look what the f@#$k can I say about this crazy razor really enjoy you're channel keep it up , don't flip up with that razor !!! Really looks crazy specially the adjusting system !!!!!
Great shave and review. Very interested in the razor. Not sure if I want to take the plunge. I don't like razors with a lot of blade feel. Have a great weekend. 👍👍👍
No ultrasonic needed! Just pop out the insert and use a q-tip. The handle is fully hollow so you have access to the entire thing. Pretty easy cleaning in reality. We cover this in our how-to video which will be published at launch.
Nice shave Ken💈💈 Was wondering when Shane was debuing the Osprey. Looks good and yeah the insert is made to remove. Glad it worked out, bet it's pricey but quality usually is... Later.
Nice looking razor. If a razor company sends you a razor you would think you would do your homework and know the owner of the company is and the name of the other razors that are produced by the company. These are small companies and that info is very easy to find
Shane is the owner of the company and I’ve chatted with him a lot. They just discontinued the ERA razor and I couldn’t remember the name of it while filming. The vector and brass blackbird.

It handled really well all the times I have used it. So far, no complaints. I know some people are commenting on the price, but I know a lot of design and engineering went into it💈💈
ya u were right! Burj Khalifa in Dubai at 2 2,717 feet tall bigger then the twins towers and the sky scraper and my beard grows in thick and patch so 3 would be good for me
Excellent shave Ken. Glad you got chosen to participate in the razor's development. I have skin that's like tissue paper and a beard that rminds you of a cast iron skillet. I used Perma-Sharp blades in my leaf tonight. Resulted in an extremely nice shave. ruclips.net/video/egGcS-yW_qQ/видео.html
You can easily take out the brass insert with a screw driver. It was added for balance, because the head is heavy. But Shane wanted it to be removable so everyone can decide for themselves. Plus you can put any handle you like on it.
Other handle insert materials and designs are likely in the future. As mentioned, the insert is easily removed to reduce weight (or to reduce that brass smell 😂)
I’m doing ok. 22 years ago today, 9/11 happened. I was 1 year old at that point. I still remember that morning. I just woke up around 8:46 am. I was making my way to have a bowl of cereal when I saw the tv was on. The tv was switched over to a problem in New York and that was the first time I saw the carnage of the North Tower after it was hit by American 11. But at 9:03 am, I remember seeing the second plane hit the south tower on live tv. I couldn’t finish my breakfast that morning. That was my experience watching 9/11. Where were you at the time 9/11 happen? What did you remember doing that morning?
Wish you understood the KISS principle, keep it simple, keep it flowing, and cut the bull. Your Video is slow, dragged out to long, and boring. Your Video could have been half the time, suggest speeding thing up, and maybe some Coffee before making UTubes.
Great preview video ken . I have a one month challenge for you . Would you over a 4 week period show us what your stubble/beard appears like on the face area ? You can do neck touch ups with a razor, blade and soap of your choice , but purely let the growth show on the face ? Look forward to hearing from you Ken . Adam in UK
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Osprey, Ken!
My pleasure!!👍👍👍 With every blade I tried, I think setting 4 is my go to on this one. I might give setting 5 a try too

Did I see that Greg Tardif got one or was that a hallucination?
Greg had a preview pic that a vid was coming.

That's a good looking safety razor!

Waiting for blackland to make something like the vector but with half a de blade instead
I so want Blackland to do a split DE blade razor!!!!
Ahhhh. DE blades split saves $$$
YES! I knew it! So awesome! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!💈👍

It’s been a while since I used the Taiga, but once dialed in; both razors excel on my beard

Great shave. The razor’s looks and performance could be very appealing to anyone that wants to spend cash on an adjustable razor. Have a good one!
Thank you 👍💈
I pretty much bought the first production off the line Osprey.
👍👍
Doing good! That shave looks great!
Thanks 👍
Appreciate it. Have you done a Ken’s favorites episode ?
💈💈
My first thought when I looked at the handle. You better have an ultrasonic cleaner. Because gunk will find it's way in the handle soon enough.
No ultrasonic needed! Just pop out the insert and use a q-tip. The handle is fully hollow so you have access to the entire thing. Pretty easy cleaning in reality. We cover this in our how-to video which will be published at launch.

@kensurfs, as usual, another great detailed educational breakdown of wet shaving products and techniques.
Glad you enjoyed it👍👍💈💈
Kent question what ur favorite proras soap! the green white red or blue one
Green
Nice shave Ken💈💈 Was wondering when Shane was debuing the Osprey. Looks good and yeah the insert is made to remove. Glad it worked out, bet it's pricey but quality usually is... Later.
Thanks 👍👍💈💈
Description says Osprey will Launch on Sept 22nd $350
They just gave me that info👍👍
@@kensurfs yes sir. Great review. You were all over it by typing it into the body of your review. Just trying to make sure folks saw it. Good stuff👍🏼
Would the Ti version be able to be anodized in colors or will it mess with the tolerances?
We'll be able to anodize without impacting tolerances. No active plans for anodized titanium just yet, but it will definitely come at some point.
👍💈💈
Nice looking razor. If a razor company sends you a razor you would think you would do your homework and know the owner of the company is and the name of the other razors that are produced by the company. These are small companies and that info is very easy to find

What makes the tower 101 cylindrical? It looks square to me 🤔
But yes, no doubt about its hight. It is very tall.
I think it was the tallest for a while til Dubai
what's that white line floating in the top left of the video?
Damn spiderweb. Lol
A nice looking razor. But i think the hollow handle is terrible to clean. Thanks for showing.
I was thinking the same. Especially here, were we have hard water.
@@shaneswartzlander1981 Thank you, I look forward to the video.
@@shaneswartzlander1981 We have hard water here. Not sure if it is that easy.

@@MrPleersTested in hard water. Not a big deal. Maybe a little harder than other handles, but then it’s not like other handles.
Good review Ken. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!💈👍
You were ONE? The most brilliant baby to ever walk the earth! 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Nice review Ken!
top razor review 👍have a nice day
Thanks, you too!👍💈
Great review, Ken! Seems like this is pretty efficient but with low blade feel, chatter, and feedback. Is that how you feel about this razor overall!
It handled really well all the times I have used it. So far, no complaints. I know some people are commenting on the price, but I know a lot of design and engineering went into it💈💈
Great review Ken!
Glad you enjoyed it💈👍👍
Burn score 4/10 today, just a gentle burn
Yep👍💈💈
Checked the price and nearly had a heart attack, but I have to say it's fair for the materials and being made in the US
👍👍💈💈
What shaved better the vector or this razor?
Both shave excellent on my beard. I think this one seemed smoother on setting 4 though. I had been on setting 3 before
Innovative, I will give them that. However, the vintage Gillette adjustables are still the best imo.
All vintage Gillettes are tops.
Vintage Gillettes set the bar high for sure!
Fair enough!👍💈💈💈
Is the head too thick?
Not at all
ya u were right! Burj Khalifa in Dubai at 2 2,717 feet tall bigger then the twins towers and the sky scraper and my beard grows in thick and patch so 3 would be good for me
👍👍
On that setting 9, that razor looks as aggressive as a rabid weasel.
lol
This or the Henson? 🤔
Osprey

Ok, I got the idea. You make the quirkiest razor possible and make it cost $$$$.
As long as it can give me a BBS shave every time 💈💈👍👍
Wish you understood the KISS principle, keep it simple, keep it flowing, and cut the bull.

Noted. I try to keep my videos under 12 minutes. I agree with you, I watch some peoples shave videos and the are 1/2 hour.
Thanks for watching though 👍💈
