Tried Mitchell's Wool Fat today. What a quality product. It left my skin so smooth and soft, I didn't need any moisturing cream after my shave. I had no razor burn what so ever. I have sensitive skin and I can honestly say this has been one of the most delight shaving experiences. The slickness this soap gives is on another level. I'm so pleased with thus shaving soap.
Great shave Kevy....glad that nick is healing....happens to all of us.... good fun with the Woolfat...and can't beat the classic EJ DE89......all the best....Paul.
agreed Paul. Mitchell's is always a treat. best post shave feeling there is. never find myself wanting any balm or splash. cheers Paul and Kevy, i enjoy your videos. enjoy your weeks gentlemen :)
kevy im a recent convert to DE wet shaving and just got my first puck of MWF soap - really looking forward to using it - this was helpful to help me for when i lather it up - Thanks
A great shave with familiar gear. I'm glad you are healed from that steam punk bone saw. You now have battle scars from braving the Valet. This shave was exactly as you described. Mitchell's, and the DE89 are like a pair of broken-in shoes. Comfortable, reliable, and safe. The only way I can get Mitchell's to lather properly is to use distilled water. It does live up to its reputation once brought to life. The EJ has ear spitting feedback. A cracking shave! Thanks for sharing, Kev.
Thanks for another stellar comment Alex. I like the broken in shoes analogy... :) It must be due to hard water that makes it difficult to lather then? I love my DE89. Cheers mate. Kevy :)
Kevy, I have to say, it's these kind of videos that inspired me to try new shaving products. I'm really enjoying using like Mitchell's Wool Fat and Proraso soaps. I bought an Edwin Jagger DE89 3D razor over 2 years ago after your review. Thanks for doing these kind of videos.
@@kevyshaves4109 I was a wet shaver using Gillette cartridges but it's your videos which have inspired me to go up a level into the real world of wet shaving. I have now tried various blades, shaving creams and soaps and post shave aftershaves and balms. Thanks Kevy and keep up your great work! 👍
since I live in mexico I am using mexican shaving soap of very good quality , there are two important soap makers here, the first one is mr , rafael rosas from perfect shaving and the second one is the archaic company. Mr rosas from perfect shaving has a barber shop , who his father started in 1950, in mexico city , he makes around 16 types of different aromas, the lather is great , the nice thing about perfect shaving is that a lot of his aromas are from our local fruits and plants, like grapefruit, peach, pomegranate, etc and plants such as rosemary, bergamot and ginger, arnica flower, verbena , etc, he also makes shaving gel in sachets , specially for people who is travelling and a soft one for ladies specific shaving, normaly I am also using a lot of other brands, but the mexican soaps are very good, regards from mexico , robert
Kevy Shaves- *Farmyard Shave* Just needs eggs and bacon making sounds too 🤣 Love my Razorock Brushes/soaps- particularly the “Big Bruce”, but had trouble with harder soaps. You helped me to figure out why synthetic don’t like hard soaps, so I broke in a Boar hair brush. What a difference. Got my hands on a MWF refill and excited to try it! Gotta finish my RR Classic croap first 😬
In Bradford, where it's made is renownd for the softness of the water. That's why Bradford was the biggetst textile city anywhere during the industrial revolution. I suspect that the difficulty in lathering might stem from it being used in hard water areas
I was expecting a blowtorch and paint scraper shave after that last one. Nice to see a sensible razor/soap/blade/brush combination giving great results. None of them too expensive either Kevy, great stuff.
Although I have many razors that are more expensive than my DE 89, I do not believe that I have any that shave better. It is a perfect combination of comfort and efficiency (for me).
I'm the same as you. I have lots more razors that cost more and do many different things - adjustables etc - but for me, the DE89 feels so comfortable to use with almost any blade in it. Cheers. Kevy :)
Hi Kevy, Dave from Bristol here again. Received my Rockwell Razor and am trying out different plates as my face gets so sore. Just now ordered some Mitchells Woolfat. Had a 3 pass shave a couple of hours ago with plate 2 and Arko. Face bloody sore now! Another great video mate. After your recent bloodbath and facial skin removing operation I thought of sending you my newly honed Khukuri knife to shave with. Just up your street that would be!! Stay safe mate and keep up the great video's. Dave.
Nice recovery shave! The sounds from the Fat tub are more soothing than the blood-curdling screams from Viking soaps opened early in the morning, aren't they? Cheers!
We all love you too, Kev!👍😎 I will have to investigate the de89. looks like it might be a good fit for me. I also have the Nivea balm like yours. love Nivea products! there really is nothing quite like an amazing shave is there?!😎👍 beautiful weather here in Ohio to with high temperatures and lots of sunshine so everything is good with the world! cheers mate!🍀 very nice to hear that you're a bit of an ol' singer there too Kev!👍 Very good!😉
Cheers Kieran. The DE89 should be in every shavers den, it's a great razor. Nivea stuff is ace. It's been quite nice here in Scotland too this past week, probably not as warm as Ohio! I can hold a tune...sometimes...lol! Kevy :)
*Thanks for the vlog Kevy!* I just purchased a 100 pack of the Polsilver blades and thus far I’m very impressed with them. They are sharp and smooth blades. You can’t go wrong with the Edwin Jagger razor. It’s been quite some time since I’ve used my EJ DE89BA11. I may have to bust it out soon.
Hey David. I've heard they are stopping making Polsilvers blades so you've done the right thing stocking up on them, especially if like me, you like them. I find them very smooth in most razors. DE89'sare fantastic razors. Have a good weekend. Kevy 😀
An excellent shave Sir Kevy! I love all you're choices with this video..👍 also, you're technique using the same soap to wash off your face.. great idea, I'm going to try it..thank you for sharing👍 Cheers David
Nice post production effect with the sheep. I have no trouble lathering with MWF and you know my policy against blooming soaps. 20 seconds and the brush is loaded straight from the ceramic dish. . Next, I just add about 10 drops of water to a bowl and bowl lather I just watched a Suffolk Shaver video and it seems that when you guys use the tried and true products, you get great shaves but when you switch to the small soapmakers, you have so problems. As I've written on the FB groups, you've got to try a Gillette Nacet with the DE89. It gave my EJ a new lease on life, especially when used with Maca Root shaving cream.
Shave- a-thon Well, that's probably the reason the tried and tested soaps are still here being used by wet shavers after all these years. I love the traditional soaps and creams as well as also trying to support new artisans at the same time. I'll need to,try a Gillette Nacet in my DE89. Thanks for the tip. Kevy 👍
Waiting on blades and cream. I have 100 Gillette 7 OC Super Platinums (Blacks) on the way and my brother is waiting on 100 Feather blades. I also ordered all three of the Indian Old Spice lathering shave creams (original, musk, lime). Can't wait to try them.
Good choices. I've got enough blades just at the moment. I keep looking at that Old Spice cream from India but I've never bought any yet. Cheers. Kevy :)
Good evening Kevy! Nice to see you using tools and products that work for you. My tub of Mitchell's doesn't have the bleating noise when I open the lid...damn! I guess it might when I remove the paper wrapper, huh? Speaking of shaving soap...OMG...I just scored some Yardley. Yes, vintage Yardley in a wooden bowl that has never been opened. Plus, I made an offer on a gift set that contained a full Mug of Seaforth shaving soap (NOS) and I was surprised the seller accepted. I have acquired all the legendary shaving soaps...Yippie. I digress. That shave has went nicely. I can't wait to have that post-shave feel for myself. I have trouble with the EJ DE89...it gives me razor burn for some reason. Perhaps I should give it a try with the MWF and an Astra SP blade. Have a pleasant evening and pet Riley for me. Take care.
Hi Todd. Yes, once the paper is removed, the sheep are released...you'll smell them...lol. That's a brilliant score on this vintage soaps. I don't think I know Seaforth soap. Is it an old U.S soap? That's a shame the DE89 doesn't agree with you, I love mine. I hop you're having a good week. Kevy :)
Yes, I didn't pay through the nose for anything and the best part is I can resell some of the things to cover most of my outlay. Yes, the Seaforth shaving soap was a USA product, but named after a Scottish regiment, the Seaforth Highlanders, and the scent is heather and fern. Here is a link to the companies history: www.cosmeticsandskin.com/companies/seaforth.php It is said this soap is better than Old Spice and even better the the Yardley. I can compare all three...lol. Additionally, I bought some vintage Williams Mug soap from a defunct pharmacy. There is some pre-1960's to 1976 boxes. That is so superior to modern Williams. Slick and creamy. Just a clean scent. Yes, a shame about the DE89. I will shave with it today just to see if a blade change make any difference. Take care Kevy.
Really nice and I have to say SENSIBLE shave Kevy. I struggle to go a week without getting the MWF out, and mine doesn't even go Baa! Down here in the SW it's limestone country so we have hard water, but I don't have to do anything special to get a great lather from MWF , I just start with a damp brush & load it for a bit longer, that's it 😌👏
Thanks Dve. Glad to hear you enjoy the Fat too. Your pot should baaa, did you keep the receipt?! ;-) I never have trouble getting it to lather but my water is very soft...just like me!! Lol!!! Kevy :)
You are raising a valid point about partners and shaving gear arriving through the post. So, may I humbly suggest a technique to deal with the issue of the wife going, "Oh not another shave soap". Well, the technique is very simple: the postie is your friend. Approach him, when you see him one day do his rounds in your vicinity. Tell him, should he happen to realise that yet another soap delivery or yet another aftershave are for you, then if possible (obviously, poor bloke, we certainly don't want him to get into trouble for doing his/her job!), if he could *discreetly* drop your precious shave cargo in a pre-arranged corner of your garden/yard so that the wife don't see it. I'm methodically working toward such an understanding with my postie. Nothing as official as a signed treaty between me and him, but I'll soon be silencing the wife's "Oh not another soap" with that method. So, fellow male traditional wet shave afficionados and wife-complaining syndrome sufferers, remember, the postie *is* your friend. By the way Kevin -- you can't beat Jag DE89 + Mitchell's shave experience: CLASSIC :) Cheers
Great shave Kevy, a word of warning though someone tipped off Little Bow Peep and she's coming for her sheep! Have a great rest of the week Sir. Cheers👍
Tony Tony Ha ha! There's no way she's getting them back if they make my face feel this good. I'll keep them hidden in the ceramic pot...lol 🤣Have a great weekend mate. Kevy 👍
Emergency First Aid in the field....a cut that keeps opening(esp since you keep shaving over it :P :D )can be closed with Super Glue. And this is a real treatment believe it or not... :-)
I used to put superglue on my fingertips when I was playing guitar. If I had a few gigs in succession, sometimes the hardskin on my fingertips would split and the superglue helped and made it less painful. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Yeah Kevy, my MWF soap makes sheep and cow noises all the time, I only have to walk passed it...lol. As for lathering it, I get a great lather from MWF every time and I live in central England where there is only hard water. I don't understand some of these people that say they can't get MWF to lather if I can get it to lather then anyone can.
dear kevy , you made my day happy when opening the ceramic pot haha, by the way ( listening to the sheep ) , your vids are very interesting since your comments on the soaps, razors , brushes , etc are very profesional , greetings from mexico , I also saw your 6 soaps every decent den should have , and I am starting collecting , thanks to your motivation , now I have quit a big amount of soaps etc, but every morning I feel great using each time another brand , looking for nice aroma , un abrazo desde mexico , robert
I LOVE MY MUHLE R89! It's my rose gold baby and she treats me right! I Love the sound effects on the soap! I haven't been shaving every day out of laziness for the most part, so I'm only up to 44 shaves on my Pol Silver Super Irridium, so you've got some catching up to do! I don't worry about the credit card bill. I use my debit card and drain my back account directly. The wife sees my little bottles of essential oils and shaving stuff and just ignores it. For the most part, I'm not buying lots of stuff, I'm just using all the shaving products vicariously through you! I just have my rose gold baby, my Pol Silver blade, my TOBS Sandalwood, my Parker travel brush, and my EO concoction and I'm good to go!
Brian Kolley Nice set up you have there Brian. It's great when you have things that just work for you in a shave. Sounds like you've found your perfect set up. All the best. Kevy 👍
Good to know it's not only my mitchells soap that makes that crazy sound haha i have no problem with creating the lather I have a Mühle R220 (wooden handle), which also has a R89 head. It's my favourite razor!
I have used Arko but I've not used it in a shave vid. I think it's ok, the smell isn't the best but I can live with it but it's a great performing soap. I hope you get your Variant soon. Cheers. Kevy :)
New subscriber . Watching since your first DE shave. Anyway love the wool fat ..took a while to figure it out but just a wonderful lather. Got a new Edwin Jagger with a short handle- rubber grip. Wondering if you’ve tried that version? Don’t see much about it. Feels really nice for me. Between the merkur 34 & EJ89
Hi Walter. Thanks for the support. I've seen that DE89 with the rubber coated handle although I've never tried it. I'll bet the grip is great? Cheers. Kevy 👍 .
floid black has a tad bit of pineapple smell to me...melds into the rest of the scents. love it. baaaaa....baaaa.... I love dem sheepy sheepies. haslinger as well. I'm thinking of taking my fave vegetal soaps and mixing it with unscented tallow/lanolin soaps. my skin craves the fat. I'm a gal so...ya, I love the skin after tallow and donkey milk has caressed the skin:)
Are Scottish Sheep better than Welsh Sheep Kevy ? I used to watch One Man and His Dog (or something like that), on BBC . Its good to get back to good ole basics . Nice DE89 . Perfect with the fat . Thanks Kevy . Glad you're healing . Gil found a Valet , OC . Have a great week .
Scottish sheep are better than than Welsh sheep and the reason for that is...they're Scottish!! Lol! I remember that programme being on the BBC, it had a bit of a cult following back in the day. I love my DE89 and it's great to get back to basics. I seen the video where Gil found that Valet, along with a few other nice things. Kevy :)
Like yrs n Paul's videos best, not to forget Nick... Not so stiff, but personal with a touch of humour! A n d , some nicks are part of the game, some blood as well. Lets hv fun...
Thank you Achim. Paul and Nick are great guys, I love their videos. You're right, nicks and blood are all a part of it. Hopefully not too many!! Cheers. Kevy :)
OK Kevy, you officially lost your mind and I hope you never find it. LMFAO when you opened the Fat. Much better shave than that mid evil torture device in your last video. Keep up the good work.
Hey Brian. Thanks for the kind words. I know the 'Fat" is a little more expensive over the pond but if you can even try a sample, you'll understand why some people say how good it is. There's nothing fancy about it, just a good ol' fashioned shaving soap that works and makes your skin feel fantastic. Cheers. Kevy :)
For all those who want to see Kevy's latest closed caption collage, it's available on the Paul's Wet Head FB page: facebook.com/groups/1713272742306799/permalink/1744615285839211/
I can't lather the God damned thing.. I tried today with a 620 almost dry, I bloomed the devil's soap and I load properly. NOTHING! Only bloody frothy mess! What should I do K?
It's better with a soaked brush, leave the brush very wet and load the shit out of it holding the soap upside down to let the excess water drip out. When you think you have enough soap in the brush, load the shit out of it again. I find sometimes if you leave it after load the brush, for like a few minutes, the lather seems to get creamier. Keep working it on the face or in the bowl and it should eventually get creamier. Good luck. Kevy 👍
5 vintage razors, a pif box from the lovely Oy Vey Chapo, Phoenix and Beau, wickham, and that's me done for the rest of my life! Hahahaha Yeah right lol
Baaaaa. Baaaaa..whats wrong Kevy You said we were going to the farm today to meet my family...Mom is knitting you a sweater...lol...Good shave Kevy...I love sheep..with a little mint sauce....All my standards today..no wool fat.... people would talk....89 and polsilver can't go wrong....Healing well I see...I warned you..We all have our moments don't we I can go a week with out blood..and then the wife wants to take me to the ER...for a little cut...I'm on blood thinners...so a serious cut is rare...In the end the results are what counts...If it happens again..blame it on Riley...I always blame the dog for everything .lol..Till the next donation to the Red Cross ...cheers !🇷🇺🇺🇸💈💈💉🐐🐐🐑👍
Ha ha! We were supposed to going to get steaks! Yogurt be careful with the cuts if you take blood thinners. Hopefully you don't get too many cuts. Riley gets the blame for a lot of things!! Lol! Cheers. Kevy :)
Thanks Steve. I forgive Arthur! It wasn't his fault. I've doctored it before returning it so that the next time he uses it, he will cut his top lip off!! Lol! Cheers. Kevy :)
I was hoping that the razor would have a wilkinson sward blade in it...... Sward....grass... Farms.....geddit ? Anyone ...... No . Okay , just me then 😋

Kevy Shaves- *Farmyard Shave*
Just needs eggs and bacon making sounds too 🤣
Love my Razorock Brushes/soaps- particularly the “Big Bruce”, but had trouble with harder soaps. You helped me to figure out why synthetic don’t like hard soaps, so I broke in a Boar hair brush. What a difference. Got my hands on a MWF refill and excited to try it! Gotta finish my RR Classic croap first 😬

I face lather and Mitchell's wool fat is a "lather monster". Nice one kevy
I bought this Edwin Jagger DE89 3D razor on your recommendation and I'm very happy with it. A quality razor.
I was expecting a blowtorch and paint scraper shave after that last one. Nice to see a sensible razor/soap/blade/brush combination giving great results. None of them too expensive either Kevy, great stuff.
Cheers. A Desperate Dan shave! Yes, good to get back to things that I know work well. All the best. Kevy :)
I have been using Mitchell's about a week and think it may be my best soap. Takes a bit more work to lather on the face, but it's worth it.
Tallow and lanolin is the perfect recipe for fantastic soap.
David Marshall Yes, really helps with the lather and post shave feel. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Although I have many razors that are more expensive than my DE 89, I do not believe that I have any that shave better. It is a perfect combination of comfort and efficiency (for me).

Fantastic shave Kevy. Loved the video it was very informative. Awesome products. I'm a big fan of the DE89. Great razor. Take care my friend.
Cheers Kirk. I love the DE89, it's a great all round razor. Have a great weekend mate. Kevy 👍
Another great shave Kevy, love Woolfat. All the best, Mike.
Thank you Mike. Gotta love the Fat!! Cheers. Kevy :)
Nice recovery shave! The sounds from the Fat tub are more soothing than the blood-curdling screams from Viking soaps opened early in the morning, aren't they? Cheers!
Thaks Geoff. Oh, I've never tried any Viking soap, but I'm sure the screams when the tub is opened are terrifying! Lol! Cheers. Kevy.
I am from Canada, Ontario I like the different types of products you show us I have strait razors and rockwells 6c
Hi Brian. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated. Kevy 😀👍

Are you kidding me? They're stopping production of the Polsilver? Where did you learn this? This news disappoints me.
David mi think it was shave-a-thon that told me. He read it somewhere online. Hope it's not true, they are great blades. Kevy 👍
I hope that he is mistaken also.
An excellent shave Sir Kevy! I love all you're choices with this video..👍 also, you're technique using the same soap to wash off your face..
great idea, I'm going to try it..thank you for sharing👍
Cheers
David
Nice post production effect with the sheep. I have no trouble lathering with MWF and you know my policy against blooming soaps. 20 seconds and the brush is loaded straight from the ceramic dish. .

If I ever buy Michell's Wool Fat Soap it's only because I want to hear the sheep greeting me out of that beautifully labeled bowl.:-))
That in itself is a good enough reason to buy some. Kevy :)

Tell him, should he happen to realise that yet another soap delivery or yet another aftershave are for you, then if possible (obviously, poor bloke, we certainly don't want him to get into trouble for doing his/her job!), if he could *discreetly* drop your precious shave cargo in a pre-arranged corner of your garden/yard so that the wife don't see it. I'm methodically working toward such an understanding with my postie. Nothing as official as a signed treaty between me and him, but I'll soon be silencing the wife's "Oh not another soap" with that method.
So, fellow male traditional wet shave afficionados and wife-complaining syndrome sufferers, remember, the postie *is* your friend.
By the way Kevin -- you can't beat Jag DE89 + Mitchell's shave experience: CLASSIC :) Cheers
Ha ha! Sounds like you've got a great idea there! Maybe you should patent it...lol! Cheers. Kevy 👍
Great shave Kevy, a word of warning though someone tipped off Little Bow Peep and she's coming for her sheep! Have a great rest of the week Sir. Cheers👍
Tony Tony Ha ha! There's no way she's getting them back if they make my face feel this good. I'll keep them hidden in the ceramic pot...lol 🤣Have a great weekend mate. Kevy 👍
Emergency First Aid in the field....a cut that keeps opening(esp since
you keep shaving over it :P :D )can be closed with Super Glue. And this
is a real treatment believe it or not... :-)
I used to put superglue on my fingertips when I was playing guitar. If I had a few gigs in succession, sometimes the hardskin on my fingertips would split and the superglue helped and made it less painful. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Yeah Kevy, my MWF soap makes sheep and cow noises all the time, I only have to walk passed it...lol. As for lathering it, I get a great lather from MWF every time and I live in central England where there is only hard water. I don't understand some of these people that say they can't get MWF to lather if I can get it to lather then anyone can.
I've seen some people struggle to get a lather from it. IT always works well for me. Maybe I've just got lucky! Kevy :)
You need to try "Floid - Mentolado Vigoroso" the ultra version :D
dear kevy , you made my day happy when opening the ceramic pot haha, by the way ( listening to the sheep ) , your vids are very interesting since your comments on the soaps, razors , brushes , etc are very profesional , greetings from mexico , I also saw your 6 soaps every decent den should have , and I am starting collecting , thanks to your motivation , now I have quit a big amount of soaps etc, but every morning I feel great using each time another brand , looking for nice aroma , un abrazo desde mexico , robert
I LOVE MY MUHLE R89! It's my rose gold baby and she treats me right! I Love the sound effects on the soap! I haven't been shaving every day out of laziness for the most part, so I'm only up to 44 shaves on my Pol Silver Super Irridium, so you've got some catching up to do!
I don't worry about the credit card bill. I use my debit card and drain my back account directly. The wife sees my little bottles of essential oils and shaving stuff and just ignores it. For the most part, I'm not buying lots of stuff, I'm just using all the shaving products vicariously through you! I just have my rose gold baby, my Pol Silver blade, my TOBS Sandalwood, my Parker travel brush, and my EO concoction and I'm good to go!
Brian Kolley Nice set up you have there Brian. It's great when you have things that just work for you in a shave. Sounds like you've found your perfect set up. All the best. Kevy 👍
:) Thank you Kevy for a good word and a nice day :)
Thanks very much :)
Good to know it's not only my mitchells soap that makes that crazy sound haha i have no problem with creating the lather
I have a Mühle R220 (wooden handle), which also has a R89 head. It's my favourite razor!
Ha ha! You have one of the sheep pots too? Brilliant! Nice set up you have there Rino. Cheers. Kevy :)
Gonna order me some of this. I’ve never used a tallow soap before and also I’ve heard great things about MWF. Great helpful video as usual Kevy 🙂👍🏻
Great Lather Kevy. In Fact a Superb Shave all Round,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!
Thank you Chris. It was a very enjoyable shave. Kevy.
have you ever used Arko soap and if you have what do you think of it?
I have decided on getting a parker variant, just need the cash...
I have used Arko but I've not used it in a shave vid. I think it's ok, the smell isn't the best but I can live with it but it's a great performing soap. I hope you get your Variant soon. Cheers. Kevy :)
New subscriber . Watching since your first DE shave. Anyway love the wool fat ..took a while to figure it out but just a wonderful lather.
Got a new Edwin Jagger with a short handle- rubber grip. Wondering if you’ve tried that version? Don’t see much about it. Feels really nice for me. Between the merkur 34 & EJ89
Hi Walter. Thanks for the support. I've seen that DE89 with the rubber coated handle although I've never tried it. I'll bet the grip is great? Cheers. Kevy 👍 .
Great Shave Kevy! Glad your sheep helped with the rough skin... ;-)
Thank you Mike. The sheep did help! Baaa!! Kevy :)
That's a nice musical MWF box you have there kevy! :D
Thanks Chris. They aren't easy to find the musical MWF's. Lol! Kevy :)
I will like to try Mitchell wool fat shave soap
I'll use it in my next video 🙂
Fantastic shave! Gotta get me some fat, and a DE89. sadly the spending freeze is still in effect :(
Thanks! I feel your pain...lol! Cheers. Kevy 👍
floid black has a tad bit of pineapple smell to me...melds into the rest of the scents. love it.
baaaaa....baaaa.... I love dem sheepy sheepies.
haslinger as well.
I'm thinking of taking my fave vegetal soaps and mixing it with unscented tallow/lanolin soaps. my skin craves the fat. I'm a gal so...ya, I love the skin after tallow and donkey milk has caressed the skin:)
I love the scent on Floid black, very classic yet smells modern to me at the same time. Good idea about mixing your soaps. Kevy :)
Are Scottish Sheep better than Welsh Sheep Kevy ? I used to watch One Man and His Dog (or something like that), on BBC . Its good to get back to good ole basics . Nice DE89 . Perfect with the fat . Thanks Kevy . Glad you're healing . Gil found a Valet , OC . Have a great week .
Scottish sheep are better than than Welsh sheep and the reason for that is...they're Scottish!! Lol! I remember that programme being on the BBC, it had a bit of a cult following back in the day. I love my DE89 and it's great to get back to basics. I seen the video where Gil found that Valet, along with a few other nice things. Kevy :)
Been watching you for awhile..Finally subbed. Sorry so long. Great shave bud.
Thanks for the sub Jeff. I appreciate that. Kevy 😀
Like yrs n Paul's videos best, not to forget Nick... Not so stiff, but personal with a touch of humour! A n d , some nicks are part of the game, some blood as well. Lets hv fun...
Thank you Achim. Paul and Nick are great guys, I love their videos. You're right, nicks and blood are all a part of it. Hopefully not too many!! Cheers. Kevy :)
Hey Kevy, great vid as always, its reminded me that i have a puck of that very soap to try
Thanks Pete. Give it a good lathering, it's great stuff. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Do one video for best slickest soaps..please ;)
If I can find time, I'll do it. Cheers. Kevy :)
Great thanks !
Hello friend I have one of those brushes they are wounderfull on the weekend
It’s one of the best brushes I highly highly recommend it to anyone
OK Kevy, you officially lost your mind and I hope you never find it. LMFAO when you opened the Fat. Much better shave than that mid evil torture device in your last video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I'm sure I'll find my mind again one day...lol! This was a much comfier shave than the last one. Have a good weekend. Kevy 👍
Hi Kevy. Great shave as usual. I`ve never tried "The Fat" yet but one of these days.... See ya later. Take care.
Hey Brian. Thanks for the kind words. I know the 'Fat" is a little more expensive over the pond but if you can even try a sample, you'll understand why some people say how good it is. There's nothing fancy about it, just a good ol' fashioned shaving soap that works and makes your skin feel fantastic. Cheers. Kevy :)
And when did you develop your troubling fixation on sheep?
It all started last week after I bought a pair of wooly socks!Now, I can't stop eating turnips and want to change my name to Baaa-ry!
Well,at least you can get Riley to herd them!
Ha ha! That's a good idea 😂
Nice shave kevy you funny bloke lol
Thanks Alex. Kevy :)
in your opinion is this soap not very expensive for what it really is ? greetings robert
If you buy it without the ceramic pot, it's great value for what it is. Kevy 👍
@@kevyshaves4109 oh I did'nt knew you also can buy the filler , thanks robert , will do so

Like it great soap but waters too hard where I live and takes ages to lather
you can find vids about shaving from mr rafael rosas at you tube , under the name of perfect shaving - afeitado perfecto , greetings robert
I can't lather the God damned thing..
I tried today with a 620 almost dry, I bloomed the devil's soap and I load properly. NOTHING!
Only bloody frothy mess!
What should I do K?
It's better with a soaked brush, leave the brush very wet and load the shit out of it holding the soap upside down to let the excess water drip out. When you think you have enough soap in the brush, load the shit out of it again. I find sometimes if you leave it after load the brush, for like a few minutes, the lather seems to get creamier. Keep working it on the face or in the bowl and it should eventually get creamier. Good luck. Kevy 👍
Thanks Kevy! Many thanks! : -)
5 vintage razors, a pif box from the lovely Oy Vey Chapo, Phoenix and Beau, wickham, and that's me done for the rest of my life!
Hahahaha
Yeah right lol
Ha ha! There's always something else that catches your eye in the shaving game! Lol 🤣
Kevy Shaves I know bud! It's a nightmare?
Baaaaa. Baaaaa..whats wrong Kevy You said we were going to the farm today to meet my family...Mom is knitting you a sweater...lol...Good shave Kevy...I love sheep..with a little mint sauce....All my standards today..no wool fat....
people would talk....89 and polsilver can't go wrong....Healing well I see...I warned you..We all have our moments don't we
I can go a week with out blood..and then the wife wants to take me to the ER...for a little cut...I'm on blood thinners...so a serious cut is rare...In the end the results are what counts...If it happens again..blame it on Riley...I always blame the dog for everything .lol..Till the next donation to the Red Cross ...cheers !🇷🇺🇺🇸💈💈💉🐐🐐🐑👍
Ha ha! We were supposed to going to get steaks! Yogurt be careful with the cuts if you take blood thinners. Hopefully you don't get too many cuts. Riley gets the blame for a lot of things!! Lol! Cheers. Kevy :)
Much better shave Kevy, Am sure over time you will forgive Arthur; he was a really nice guy at the meet and I am sure his intention were Honorable :-)
Thanks Steve. I forgive Arthur! It wasn't his fault. I've doctored it before returning it so that the next time he uses it, he will cut his top lip off!! Lol! Cheers. Kevy :)
Smooth operator should've been playing in the background.
Ha ha!!
I was hoping that the razor would have a wilkinson sward blade in it...... Sward....grass... Farms.....geddit ? Anyone ...... No . Okay , just me then 😋
Ha ha! Your'e way to good at this sort of stuff Neill! Lol! Cheers. Kevy :)
süper nice perfect 🙌💬bende böyle traş oluyorum 😊
Cheers Chris. I'm sorry mate, I don't understand Glaswegian! Kevy :)
