Yes, the razor is on the more expensive side but I appreciate that it‘s an artisan shavegear fully designed and made in the US with high quality materials. Furthermore it’s a small family business which does not mass produce razors. The question is not is it worth the money, since quite subjective, the question is if you are willing to pay the price. I fully understand if someone is more focused on the performance. Then there are lots of stainless steel DE razors out there that offers better value for the money, no doubt about.
Also the price is often judged based on the brand name. I rarely heard people complain about the price of high end razors like Timeless, Charcoal etc. Those are already well known brands with lot of good reputation. But I tell you what, also those companies started small.
Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m not rich and 250$ is a lot of money for me too. Nevertheless I‘m happy with this razor 🙂
Seville is phenomenal. One of my favorite scents out of many, many soaps.
Do another shave with Seville please.
Start with dripping wet brush, load about 30 seconds or so, then try drowning the lather with water, I mean copious amounts and see how it works.
This is the way this soap gives its full potential.
Seville's always incredible. One the best frag's I've come across. That first hit off the tub always blows my mind. Fills the whole bathroom with sunshine. The dry down is great as well. You gotta' get the EdT and live with it all day.
One of my favorite shaving you tubers.
I guess I watched the SS with Ti Handle before you did the SS review
I agree so much with you’re price discussion. You just have to make a choice where you spend you’re disposable income. Before it was high end golf equipment for me (after 2 broken wrists , no more) custom & all that. Let me tell you that’s a pretty penny
Don’t have any Barrister & Mann soaps yet but now looking to try
Gonna watch you’re third Carbon video & then I’ll post some questions.
Really enjoyed this high class shave, smashing results. But as you say it’s up to the individual to justify the price point. I have the Barrister and Mann Seville in the old base, Will the main man over there has an incredible nose for scent creation coupled with a wonderfully performing base.
Awesome shave and video Kevy. I absolutely love Seville. My all time favourite soap. Take care and cheers.
Cheers Kirk 👍
Great shave Kevy. I love the posh voice
Great shave sir as always, my Barrister and Mann Seville set arrives tomorrow. Can’t wait to try it.
Hi Kevy- Great shave and soap/razor reviews; thank you! Outstanding products all-around! Enjoy the rest of the weekend and best regards, as always!
I have the Chubby 2 synthetic. It's my favourite synthie. But even as a synthie it needed some breaking in. Now it produces copious amounts of lather.
What a killer shave!
That overhang is ginormous...... Nice shave. "If you can't afford it" DONT dream with it.....Cheers
Never stop dreaming. Kevy 😀
@@kevyshaves4109 Agreed never stop dreaming.
Great shave with a stunning razor, thanks Kevy!!
Mine Seville Excelsior has an orange colour! Yours seems different!
I also believe that A&E are even better than B&M.
Hmm., maybe just the lighting making it look different. Mines doesn't look orange at all. I would agree with you, but some of B&M's scents are great. Kevy 👍
Well done Kevy! B&M Seville is a favorite for me, great for work or leisure. Super Badger Chubby 2 is pricey but impressive. Based on your assessment, I’m putting an order in for the razor. Top shelf hardware is a luxury I’m willing to pay for. Your comparison of $$ for a premium razor which will last multiple lifetimes compared to dinner with a bottle of wine is spot on for me! All the best, thanks. Zac.
Thanks Zac. I hope you enjoy the Carbon. Kevy 😀👍
When it comes to "If you can afford it," saving up for a quality razor is feasible. Rather than accumulating dozens, invest in one you like, and channel your finances to more essential areas where needed. Quality over quantity.
Great shave as always Kevy;) I use Schick Hydro 5 with gel and sometimes cream.
Brilliant shave, Kevy! Barrister and Mann Seville is one of my all time favorite scents. Even Mrs. Blade4vor loves the scent on me. 😘 I've had Seville in the Glissant base and the Reserve base. I guess now I need the Excelsior base!
Don't let the naysayers get you down. You get sent stuff to try and you share your experience with us. I appreciate that! Keep being Kevy and do what you do.
Cheers! -Rob
Thanks for the positive comment Rob, that's made me smile 😀
@@kevyshaves4109 I'm glad I was able to make you smile! Honestly, with this looney lot of shave nuts, we enjoy your enthusiasm for your shaves. At least I do. I completely understood your love for the scent of Barrister and Mann Seville. It is the same feeling I have for that scent. It really is an outstanding scent.
I hope your weekend has been great! See you in your next video!
Cheers! -Rob
PS:
I don't give a flying fig if the next vid is over 30 mins. I'll still watch when I have the time. Thanks, Kevy!
Great shave 🪒 Kevy!!!! Have a great day.Many blessings to you & family.(VLS)
Great shave , I just got Seville for xmas , my first Barrister and Mann soap , incredible soap will definitely get more . Have a great week 👍💈
Hi Kevy glad to see you again...Scottish blood living US!
Hi Thomas. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers. Kevy 😀
nice work..... keep it up, this soap sounds great
Seville is a great smelling soap. Once again a great shave and very informative video.
Cheers Lewis 👍
A great shave and a beautiful razor. Soap was top notch too. Really enjoyed it. Razors out of my price range though. Thanks Kevy. Cheers.
Cuts like butter!!!
One heck of a fine shave with fine products.
I haven’t tried this Carbon Yet Kevy but will get new Ti with Web Plate which is really unique and nice…not cheap lol
I think this would be nice addition to my den and Muramamsa is on it’s way Kevy hopefully I’ll like it..
Alan H
You are a high class guy Kevy👍👍💈💈That brush is awesome and has been on my list for a while
Thanks Ken. You're not too bad yourself mate! I hope you're feeling better after your man flu 💊💈Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Good evening Kevy! Yes, the B&M Seville soap and aftershave was a special delivery...it went first class all the way to you! It is nice to see you are happy with it. I like Seville too. I bought the Simpson Chubby 2 from Ian...I collected a synthetic at the shave meet-up price. Ian is really nice! The synthetic releases the lather....great flow. Kai blades work very well. I like them better than Feather blades for sure. My thoughts exactly, I hear people moan about $30 for a starter DE razor yet shell out $500 on a weekend in Casino's, Gentleman's clubs, and fancy restaurants...what do they have to show for their money...maybe a memory. At least buying a tool you get to use it time and again. Nice looking shave Kevy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Take care.
Hi Todd. A first class delivery from a first class guy! The price thing is very subjective but I always find it funny when people say they'll never pay that much for one thing then they go and spend the same amount on something that I would never dream of spending the same amount on...ifmthat make sense! Lol! Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
@@kevyshaves4109 It does; everything has a relative value. Individuals decide that value for themselves and buy/not buy accordingly.
Very nice shave sir, I knew a commercial was coming. Spot on about the price, if you have the money and it makes you happy, then why not. But no need to break your bank account if its out of your budget, there’s plenty of inexpensive razors that’ll provide a great shave.
Thanks. Yes, that's the point I was trying to make. You don't have to spend lots of money on shave gear to get a great shave. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Great shave! Happy new year, Kevy!
Great shave Kevy.
Great shave Kevy, that looks like a very fine razor. Would really like to try that soap, may go into the next supply order. Cheers
Great stuff, Kevy!!!!!!
Nicely done Sir Kevy💈💈 B&M is in my top 5 of soaps/splashes, performance and scents are fantastic👌 Haven't tried Seville but have many others. The Carbon razor looks amazing, and obviously shaves great as evident of your BBS😁 I, like you, am a collector of things and like you said, money is subjective😉 Great video once again👍 Enjoy!
Awesome shave Kevy! Love Seville!
250 bucks, some people spend that every year on cartridges with multi blades in them. Those of us that go with straight razors or DE safety spend a tenner per year on blades, so its all relative I guess. Great shave Kevvy.
That is a beautiful modern razor. I am probably going to buy this razor. I am partial to vintage Gillette’s.
Spiffing show old bean. Some fine gear there. will take look😁. After a small stint of supermarket efforts to present a few de razors to us fine gentlemens, I've noticed them dissapear from the the shelves in the blink of an eye. Real shame, see only advantages in going de. My waste has been collecting in a small mug for the year I've been d -eeing. Nothing thrown in the garbage...and of course much better shaves too....and. Still have my Mitchell's a year in...fantastic 😁😁 just don't think that many modern man has cottoned on as yet. 😂😂 Long live de !!!!! Hail kevy!!
What a top comment old chap! Bottoms up. Kevy 😀👍
Your Royals comment had me cracking up! 😂
Great shave!
Just shaved again with Seville. Damn Kevy this base needs a LOT water. I was tired of adding water to the lather.
Did you think it was a great soap? Just wait to see Siero. You will lose your mind and I put my signature on that because I know what you like.
Hey Kevy, just me again. 😁 Great video as always. Great minds think alike, I used the Seville on my shave the same day this was posted but before I saw it. Received the soap last Aug. and love the way it performs. The scent is the strongest of any of the soaps I've used. Strong enough to use as a room freshener when left open, especially when first opened. Love the razor design but def. out of my league price wise so will just have to admire it from afar. Oh, and btw just a hint, this soap loads much better if bloomed first. Hope you and yours have a wonderful week. Cheers🥂
Thanks Randy. Seville is lovely. I'll try your tip of blooming it. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Kevy Shaves, you go ahead and "advertise" your love and enjoyment of your geat shaves!
Very nice shave! Very beautiful razor.
Blade positive exposure though, love the look, but I am going to put this on my "admire but probably not buy" list.
Fantastic shave products.
Great shave Kevy! B&M one of my top soaps. Seville has wonderful frag. Also really like B&M Leviathan for winter. P.S. they should give you the razor.
Hi Kevy! How are you doing?) The handle of this safety razor is very well turned, the details are good, the grip is excellent and very efficient when shaving.
Used my first actual puck soap yesterday - won't say which as I don't want to put people off of it and I have to say my neck areas was really quite sore so I am going to stick to my sensitive creams like TOBS and Truefitt and Hill Kapo etc As for the razor I think it is overpriced really and my old vintage Gillettes will do for me. So for me soap shaving is not really an option.
Great Shave Kevy.
Really fancy trying this soap after hearing so many people say that B&M is their favourite, so thanks for the video! Quite confused about what a barbershop scent is though since I wouldn’t have thought orange is part of it? Also see that Slickboys in London are (the first?) UK distributor for B&M.
Love your videos (and the Dundee mug!)
Hi Brian. I would recommend trying this soap out. Barbershop covers a lot and very rarely do you find two barbershop scents that are the same. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Listen to that thing sing!!!!
Of course one can pay, provided affordability. Prices not only for shavers, hv gone thru the roof. Certain areas, now Siberia, modern guys invest in CNC, come up with START. Bought their head, pricewise a fraction of ATT n others... What to say, CNC + german steel = beautiful result. Lets go shopping Siberia, there so mny opportunities, razors, watches, too. Cheerio n take care.
Spot on with that comment Achim. Kevy 😀👍
Kevy good day to you my friend, I just watched your video of your walk about with Riley.
Outstanding ! Thank you for sharing parts of your life. Very Nice park you live by.
I particularly liked the Riley bounce , in my mind I had vision of you before you shave :)
I'm not sure if I like the look of that handle , you say it's grippy ?
Riley loves that park! Funnily enough, when I've seen photographs of that handle, I've never thought it looked that great, but now I have it in my hand, it is a beautiful piece of workmanship that is well designed for holding as I shave. It is grippy and the knurling is first rate. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Great Shave Kevy! 💈😉🤙🏼💈
Cheers mate 👍
Nice your video bro
How would you compare Kai to Feather blades? As far as the Soap is concerned I still have my tub of Seville in the older Glissant base. I wonder how it compares to the Excelsior? I can hardly tell a difference with all the B&M soaps that I have except for ones in the Reserve base... Including Seville I now have 15 all...
Kai blades are slightly thicker than Feather blades but for me they're not as sharp. There's not much in it if I'm being honest other than the sharpness. Barrister and Mann make some amazing scents. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
@@kevyshaves4109 Thank you! I do love my Barrister and Mann soaps and Feather Artist Club / DE blades!!
@@kevyshaves4109 I'm up to 16 soaps now. Bought their Ravish soap last!
Is the seville scent similar to floid? There is a new vendor in the uk selling bm products. Even though I live in Europe in most cases it seems cheaper to order from the States or Canada than from the UK. The value of the pound makes things so expensive:)
I don't find it similar to Floid. It smells like nothing else I know of. Yes, the pound is crap just now. Kevy 😀👍
Great video! 😊 Would you say it feels similar to the Blackland Blackbird with the blade feel? I love Seville!
Thanks. There's not as much blade feel as the Blackbird but there is some. If the Blackbird blade feel is 6/10, I would say the Carbon is about 3/10. Cheers. Kevy 👍😀
@@kevyshaves4109 Do you like the Blackbird Kevy. I love mine but have to be careful. Probably the most blade feel of all my razors.
Dave.
@@davesheppard8797 I do like that one Dave and yes, it does have a bit of blade feel. Kevy 🙂
Thanks for the fancy pants shave! Aside from cost, how does this razor compare to the vintage Gillette Tech in terms of smoothness, feedback, ergonomics, etc.? It seems to have less overhang than the Gillette Tech. And, that handle looks longer, presumably a good deal heavier.
Now, you have me thinking about the Seville scent. How would you compare it to Truefitt &Hill Trafalgar EDC? Barbershop seems to be a broad category.
It's a completely different razor from a vintage Gillette Tech. Maybe not in the way it shaves buts the materials and build quality that sets it apart in my opinion, and it has a lot more weight to it because of that. I've never tried T&H Trafalgar. Barbershop scents are all different in one way or another. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Hello Kevy and Happy New Year. It's a nice looking razor. And I'm sure it shaves good. But 250??! It looks a lot like the Gamechanger .68. The Gamechanger costs 1/3 of that razor. I don't think it is better than the Gamechanger. Would I buy it for 250?? No! I think my Gamechanger is exactly the same shave.
Fair comment Chris. If you're happy with your Gamechanger, then that's fine. The two are similar in the shave but I think the Carbon is slightly better made. Should that make it that much more than the Gamechanger? I can't answer that. Although I'll guess that the workmanship that goes into producing such a detailed handle and the R&D, design costs involved getting razors like the Carbon to market, can't be cheap. Kevy 😀👍
Kevy if price was not a factor and purely on the shave the Carbon or Rockwell 6S?
6S
Thanks for sharing Kevy. Would you recommend this scent if I’m getting my first soap from B&M?
Yes, definitely, it's a great scent. Kevy 👍
The most luxurious on that shave was the super trooper soaker or how did you called it?😁 Without that all the other things couldn't work at all 🤣
Great shave and products my friend. Really nice!
I will use the hawk or the game changer now. Still not sure...
All the best,
Jens
The sticky toffee pudding super soaker was the dearest item of the lot :o ;D
@@Chris-zz8jx without that the other things wouldn't have worked 😉🤣
Sticky toffee pudding super soaker. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
You're right. After eating the one I used in this shave, I became addicted to them and now every month I have to buy bigger clothes! 😂😂😂
@@kevyshaves4109 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've always wondered what's the bloke's name next to you ...the one with the flippers. 🤔 Hope to meet him one day, seems like a helluva wingman
I'm not sure of his name. I keep asking him but he never tells me. 😉😀👍
Hi Kevy,
How long do you soak the Chubby 2 for before you start lathering it mate? I have issues with mine sometimes tearing the top of the soap while lathering in whichever soap. I have noticed it a lot with the A&E soaps such as Sou Cal Hipster as they are fairly soft. I even get this when I have the soap with a little water on it. I was just wondering if I'm not soaking the brush for long enough with the result that the brush drinks it all and leaves the soap dry. I hope you are well mate,
Dave.
Hi Dave. At least 10 minutes for a Chubby soaking for me. Cheers. Kevy 🙂👍
@@kevyshaves4109 OK mate, thanks!
i keep buying different packets of razor blades i just like the little boxes and the prints on them i think ive lost the plot
😂😂
How much better do you think this razor is from Rockwell?
The Carbon is much nicer made but there's not much difference in the actual feel of the shave. The Carbon maybe has a little more blade feel. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Thank you for this high-end feature. Most of all, I appreciate the high-end advice you gave regarding premium gear. I believe the analogy you made contrasting a planned night out of conveyance, dining, and gambling will reach over $200.00 easily. I happen to know many guys who spend that weekly; putting their hard earned money into the g-string of an exotic dancer. So, if your lifestyle has that kind of entertainment cost, then buying the CX, HomeLike Start, or Tatara is completely justified. It should also be pointed out that among your collection of razors, there is a plastic Wilkinson Sword Classic. A commonly available, and inexpensive razor, sitting next to a priceless vintage Gillette. Fact of the matter is that it works! It is a very good travel razor that won't set you back if you leave it at the hotel, or lose it to a sticky fingered turndown maid. I own one, Manny owns one, Tony Tony owns one, and we all have many high-end, artisan machined, razors as well. I wouldn't worry about those tossers who accuse you of being a commissioned salesman for Carbon, or any other manufacturer. They do not have the first idea of your unwavering integrity since your channel began. It sets you apart from that ilk. I've sensed that I've rambled again. I should say something about the shave. The standout feature of the CX-316L? It was how it left your right jawline without the need for pickups! That alone would persuade me to buy the Carbon. It also proves that you don't require an insane amount of blade gap for a first-class BBS. At 0.68, this razor's gap is well below the R41, and Home Like Start. It is geometry that the head has in design that gives a quality shave, especially in experienced hands. I had Seville, but in the original base. I hear the excelsior is the bomb. It appears the Chubby 2 still need some breaking in to correct the flow of water and soap. Not to mention I'm sure Mrs. Kevy checks your venetian blind cord to see it drying. That brush is stupid dense! Would I take one? Hell Yes! Enjoy your Sunday, and the rest of the week. We'll speak soon.
Cheers Alex. I guess everyone is different and I guess that's what makes the human race so diverse and interesting. Cheers for,the great comment. Kevy 😀👍
It takes ages to shave using these methods! I don't have the time or inclination to spend so long shaving, I wet shave using a throw away and from start to finish takes 5 minutes, and it's smooth too. *I love the idea* of all these things you use, but I'd not do it during the week ... maybe a weekend thing sure. I'd like to try it.
Unfortunately the number of razors, blades, soaps etc is overwhelming and that is unhelpful but I guess you just plump forvwhat you like the look/sound of and run with it.
💈👍🏻
I see my Timeless razor with the
.95 base plate, and I think why did I spend so much money on a razor. Then I'll shave with it, and then I know why.
Spot on David! 👍
Super slick soap, razor and shave. Love Seville, and like you, have to sniff the puck several times 😍
Overhang on ss razor?
Not interested very poor design imo
That's the one thing that lets it down for me too. There's no need for any razor produced today to have any blade showing at the sides. Just my opinion. Kevy 😀👍
i can afford it but for something i would use twice a week 250 bucks im out plus i want a new pc lol
Smashing good shave! Fine looking razor. But four times the price of the Game Changer with cash to spare. Designing it with inspiration from the Tech is always a good idea. And the handle is smartly designed too. Blade feel I don't fancy much on razors. So whatever one wishes is what's best for them 👍.
On lathering, I love to lay it heavy on all three passes.
Spence1000 * I have the 68 and 84 Gamechanger. Great razor. Is the GC the same grade stainless steel handle and razor as the Cobalt?
@@srayle32 yes, 316L grade steel. It is one fantastic value. Definitely ranks at the top in my collection 👍
Spence1000 * thanks Spence
Kevy, I think you should start shaving your head and go fully bald, you'd suit it massively, it would look great and make a good video
You always forget about the Karve...
Shit, so I did! Sorry! Doh! There's so many stainless razors out there just now, that I forgot to name that one. My bad. Kevy 😀👍
Kevy Shaves I’m only joking mate, just giving you a hard time. Keep up the great content.
The Virtual Groomroom You tosser 😉😂😀👍
High class shave for a low class guy haha🤣
You spend $250 on a premium artisan razor you'd think there would be no overlay with the blade. I get that they are emulating Gilette here, but sometimes leave the past in the past and move on. Alpha Shaving Outlaw, Blackland Blackbird or Dart, and Rex Supply Co Ambassador or Envoy have it right. I'm no fan of overlay.
Given the choice, i prefer it not to have any overhang either. Kevy 👍
@@kevyshaves4109 I don’t believe KenSurfs when he says he does 😂
