I use this DE razor after struggling with others in the past. The adjustable is really handy for someone starting out using these razors, and helps with sensitive skin. Best tip I can give is, let the weight do the work for you.
Nice demo of a bar soap shave. I have a friend that uses Ivory bar soap, for at least 35 years. No brush either! I'm not a fan of Ivory, but as you say many people use bar soap to shave. Plow through, get it done, get it done cheap and easy. My skin wouldn't take it. Love the big bloom flower display. Wish you and the Mrs a pleasant week!
Yes, I think quite a few people use this sort of way to shave, I would not like to do it often, but love this scent....many thanks, and have a great week too :-)
Hi Paul- Great Sunday shave and product reviews; thank you! Nice idea using the hand soap for a shave in a pinch. Very nice-looking razor, as well. Very pretty arrangement of flowers from Mrs H- thank you! Sunday dinner sounds lovely; hope you enjoy your afternoon. Take care and and all the best for the week ahead!
This looks like a really smooth shave. I can only use single razor Bic disposables because anything else rips my whiskers out, not matter how hard I press to avoid it dragging.
Morning Paul, well I'm pleased that you have used the Wright's soap. We were talking about that on the FB group, I've yet to try it. I see you were gifted the Weishi Razor as well...:-)... I have looked on the net for the butterfly Matte Black version (non adjustable) with emblem for a week now, managed to find one in the U.S at a price, but still. What I can't find is their Blades! Just got to yr 1st pass so I'll carry on watching untill the end, so far so good. I was hoping you would have face lathered straight with the soap. But anyway, Fantastic...
Many thanks, apart from dissipating , it left a nice slickness, and a great scent, considering it's a hand soap. The razor is very nice, good weight to it, the blades came with this razor. Have a great weekend :-)
@@PaulHFilms well, I've watched until the end and a couple of points. I never realized that the blade on these butterfly razors could be unequal either side, I have seen it on mine, but I thought it would be ok, I'm glad you pointed that out. You Never Cut Yourself !.......which is the whole point of.......'the Art of Shaving'........IMO....so you had a decent shave with an old fashioned soap...... Excellent.... Lastly, I see you went down the scale on the razor as you went thru the passes. I haven't got an adjustable, and I was a bit confused whether one goes up or down thru pass 1 - 2 & 3. To be honest that's what I thought I would do, and finish at a relatively low setting. Thank you for this video. All the Best....
Nice video, Paul. GORGEOUS flower arrangement, Mrs H; absolutely stunning! I've used a hand soap in a pinch, too. But, as you said, not a daily driver, but will work in a pinch. Have a great weekend!
I remember using Shield soap when I first started shaving in the early 80's if I didn't have any shaving foam. It was the brand my mum used to buy. As a greasy teenager it helped dry up my skin a bit. They still sell it if you fancy shaving like your granddad.
Great shave Paul, and nice to see Mrs. H's signature on the intro! Razor looked very nice and the blade did a terrific job, no blood. Over an inch of rain has fallen in the last 24 hours and it is still pouring. Only 44f so the cold continues. Take care, Ossie
Many thanks Ossie, yes everything worked well enough, that is a lot of rain, it always makes summer feel so far away....take care and regards to Mrs W :-)
... was wäre Dein Film nur ohne die wunderschönen Blumensträuße von Mrs H - ein wunderschönes abrundendes Markenzeichen für Deine Filme, phantastisch Paul! Pfefferminzsauce - zu Fleischgerichten, habe ich noch nie gegessen, aber schon öfters gehört.
Thank you for sharing this week Sir Paul...the experiment with hand-soap seems like a good idea, but no lather...too risky for my taste... I do own a Weishi & it is not my favorite razor, I only use it for traveling..the Musk is a plus & of course you're own brush.... Thank you Mrs.H for the flower arrangement, always a lovely decor... Cheers David
Happy Sunday Paul! Gorgeous Flowers...thank you Mrs. H! I find the glasses help me see the fine details. If you need them, use them. I like that you demonstrate "How to ..." for the viewers. Hand soap works in a pinch, but so does a few other pantry items. Messy but workable include butter, coconut oil/butter, olive oil, and possible mayonnaise. Your set-up is surely doing the job. Post Office box in the States cost from about $40 to $150 per year depending on size of the box and geographical region. My favorite Aqua Velva is the 1940's thru 1960's Ice Blue. That scent brings me back to my childhood. Getting closer to my trip to the UK. Really need to sort out my plans. Thanks for these enjoyable videos and take care.
Hi Todd, many thanks, yes glasses are needed more these days....the soap does as a one off maybe, handy to know it would work, great scent, I hope a shaving soap is made with this coal tar scent.. thanks for the costs of a P.O. Box over there...yes U.K. trip will soon be here, time goes so quickly .....all the best and have a great week :-)
Hi Paul.. Another good shave my friend. The hand soap surprised me but had good results... I did notice the mistake with the brush, but I didn't say anything because you know were I live.. lol. Excellent flowers again Mrs H Thank you.. Enjoy the rest of the weekend you two, take care :-)
Hand soap drys the skin a lot but it's ok if we are on travel or whatever and forgot the shaving cream at home. That blade looks really sharp and Aqua Velva, almost forgot that still available on the market... Congrats to Mrs H by the beautiful flowers arrangement as always do.
Great video Paul. It just goes to show that shaving doesn't have to be expensive. I have the Weishi long handle razor in my Arsenal and it is of good quality. Thanks Paul.👍💈💈💈
im no longer a virgin today i tried the r41 what an excellent razor got me a few minor weepers but i expected that close shave with such ease in the same shave i started with rockwell 6c plate 3 it hardly cut anything so i decided today im gonna try the muhle R41 and i was shocked how it removes everything with easy if treated with respect my goodness it may be my favourite so far i wanted to share this with u guys cheers and good shaves gents
On the subject of soap bars; could you do a video of you shaving with Cussons Imperial Leather soap and then washing your whole face with the same soap after you finish shaving?Imperial Leather always seems to have a rich, creamy lather so I think it would be ideal soap for shaving with.
Gr8 shave Paul 💈Remember that soap!! Classic smell 👍 Didn't do a bad job either. Hope u enjoyed Lashento's. None for us this weekend we've just got home from a weekend away in Edinburgh for our 25th Wedding anniversary!! And yes Gavin bought 2 brushes!!! Also as it's our silver wedding anni I bought him the Merkur futur Chrome razor 👍 He'll get it on the 28th the actual anniversary date! Hope u enjoy the start of your week 👍💈💐👍
Thanks Natalie, yes it was good for a hand soap, Gavin will love those gifts, your date is close to ours we were on the 30th Nov 96.....hope you both have a great day on the 28th.....have a great rest of this week :-)
Wrights coaltar soap now there's a blast from the past. When I first started DE wet shaving back when I lived at my mums house I used this soap and nothing else. It's cheap, smells nice and believe it or not with a bit of elbow grease you can get a passable foam from it. It also is excellent soap for shaving if you have sensitive or sore skin because it contains teatree oil, they put that in instead of actual coaltar. I used it for shaving for years. Now I use ether Arko or Derby shaving soaps or sticks, but we all start somewhere. Excellent video Paul as ever, see you on the next one. 😊 👍
First time I seen you use hand soap , not a bad idea when your in a pinch or forgotten your shaving soap. Looks like a good shaving razor .Have a wonderful Sunday Mr. Paul H. and yes Agua Vela Must is always a treat after a shave. Your Dinner sounds great and delicious also Sir
Always neat to see products that I've always wondered if they would work for shaving. Hope you're having an amazing Sunday evening on the other side of the pond mate.
Truth be told, I noticed the Chubby mistake but didn't want to make you look bad. I used my Chubby 2 (Best) yesterday. What a brush. Happy Queen Victoria Day (from Canada). Cheers!
We get a good many Yardley soaps in the states as well. The almond and black charcoal are my favorites. Pear glycerin soap is phenomenal as well. Great shave today. Cheers to you and the family. Especially old Pavarotti 👍🏻💈
Magnificent display of color from Mrs H to start off the shave today👍 Nicely done Paul, great shave using the WEISHI💈💈 Brave man you are using a Chinese razor, hand soap instead of shave soap, new untested blade. Just goes to show how a shave can be had in a pinch. Great review and video again. Enjoy!
In addition to the Geo channel, there is also the Straight Razor Brooklyn Production channel. On this channel, the blogger also often puts on a bondana. It’s rare to see you wearing glasses. Unusually. I did not expect that you use the blades in the kit instead of Wilkinson. Thanks for good shaving, music and flowers!)
Having just had surgery I use coal tar to wash with because of its scent and antiseptic properties. Never thought about it as a shave soap so giving it a go later. Cheers Mr H
That razor looks great Paul and I used wrights this morning but I was bit fearful of carrying on I made a video but finished the video with Derby soap stick i thought I would give it ago because I saw a post they got great lather from it then I watched your video then I though oh bollocks I have jumped the gun here your water must better than it is in Llan great video Paul enjoyed it take care and have a great week 😀
Wright's replaced the coal tar with tea tree due to an EU directive. Carbolic soap also now has to be marketed as a household soap only. I think it was due to the irritation that can be caused through constant exposure. When shaving I always use lathering soap, but shaving the body I always use a Dove bar as through experience I've found it to be the least irritating and it works brilliantly.
Hey mate, would you mind letting us know how the razor is now ? I've seen some people complain about the mechanism not working after some time ? Cheers, awesome review )
I love Wrights Coal Tar Soap, fantastic fragrance. I remember as a teenager the doctor telling me to use it to get rid of spots. I would definitely buy a coal tar fragranced shaving cream or soap if someone made it. Nice shave, nice flowers but mushy peas with lamb Paul, that's just sacrilege. Only joking, whatever floats your boat.
I am staggered that there is not a PaulH soap yet. If an artisan developed a soap for you which you eventually use on the channel; its haz to be a no brainer. Two obvious candidates for me. A coal tar formula for Mr. H and a floral arrangement for Mrs. H. This time next year Rodney, we'll be millionaires.
Nice shave i also like the razor, as for the soap once in a while a also used Irish Spring and it work’s not the best but if your stuck whit nothing else it works. Thanks to share. Gino
Hi Paul. Really enjoyed it. Razor and blade seemed excellent. Gotta pass on the soap as a lather maker....kind of reminded me of Williams lol. On a side note, just received Wilkinson Sword`s new razor. What a beautiful excellent razor for a very excellent price. Around $16 usd. May even bring down the price of other razors for them to remain competitive. Thanks for the video.☺
I try diff handsoaps too, some good some bad, SHIELD that brings back memories of my childhood...☺ is it still made?? I used Palmolive handsoap n Dove with others, fun to try, n dirtcheap shavings 👍👍. As always a nice video, i was just lookin at that razor online...take care, n keep shaving. I used TOBS grapefruit today (what a scent) with my Gillette rocket HD, Treet 7 days blade, smooth 😁🥰. Cheers!!👍❤
Nice trying different ones, yes I think you can still get it, most likely online these days, not seen it around here in the shops....one of my favourite soap scents is the Grapefruit, nice isn't it....many thanks :-)
@@PaulHFilms its such a nice scent that grapefruit, today i mixed it with some Stirling Iced Pineapple ☺☺👍👍 , great shave n scent...need cooling menthol now, popped up to 30° in just a few days, last week we had 5°...LOL
Not a bad shave considering what you had to work with as far as the soap is concerned. For me, If I have a soap that dissipates like that did, I'll lather like the sides of the face and the neck, shave that, then lather the mustache / goatee area and shave that. I know it takes longer, but I get nervous when the lather dissipates. Anyway, my compliments to Mrs. H on the flowers.
Hi Paul! Sunny greetings from Sweden and good health to you! Me myself I wouldn't shave with a hand soap or maybe if I really had no choice...Later on today I'm going to shave with my monster heavyweight Parker 98R razor and I'm looking forward to it. It's a mighty aggressive razor too and I wonder if You have it in Your collection Paul? I would like to see you use it and hear your thoughts of it. Cheers and a hooray to The Shaving Welchsman!
Hi Alex, that is one model I don't have the 98R, my other Parker razors I find to have a mid aggression for me, so the 98R sounds interesting.....hope you enjoy your shave , many thanks .. Paul.
@@PaulHFilms Hi Paul and thank you for answering. Indeed I had a very pleasant shave with 'The Monster', I've learned to do as you always say: no pressure whatsoever - let the razor (and blade) do the job and my face is thankful for that nowadays. But I don't use the Feather or Mühleblades with the Parker 98R, well maybe in the future when I'm more expierienced in the ways of DE-shaving. Cheers to You Paul and thanks again for your interesting and humorous videos!
Hi,Paul! It is a company,Mutiny Shaving, who produce natural soaps for shaving!It's1 for £4,50!They have some interesting scents!Could you try one of them?Thank you!
Nice shave Paul interesting looking razor. PO Box's cost £200 a year but you can get a free PO.address and just pay as you go just paying a small amount for each item.of post they handle and you pick up from your local sorting office
Weishi sponsored by Geofatboy lol! Wrights coal tar soap has been my daily ablutions soap for years. I have used it for shaving in my cartridge days when I ran out of canned goo, not tried it with a DE but I think I should, just love the smell of it.
@@PaulHFilms My pleasure, sir! If the times were different I'd send some over along with a wonderful Greek shaving powder that I own, at the moment though, I can provide you with links, should you wish^^
@@PaulHFilms The Greek product that is quite unique [actually named Splendid]: hairmaker.gr/en/shaving-soaps/866-splentit-shaving-soap-200gr-5200123320176.html
similar to my Vikings blade Augustus razor. I dont like the build of the vikings.. lots of little things about it , i dont like . The blade seems to lay a little slanted. gives me cuts quite often. Ive heard many good things about Weishi , the price is quite cheap, so i wish i wouldve bought Weishi.
The head design of the VB looks different, more like a classic Gillette head. Maybe Weishi is the manufacturer, maybe not, but it's most likely made in China.
Nice look at the weishi Edge Paul ... I must say I don't think much of Weishi as a brand... poor blade alignment and on them ... very sloppy tolerances and too much blade overhang but that is just my take ... Kit
Yes there is a ingredients list, and it's made in Turkey for a British company who are part of the Unilever company. Here is a photo from Google of the back of the soap packet: bit.ly/2JQDMiK
Pine Tar Handmade Luxury Shaving Soap by Chiseled Face - Rich, Thick Lather - Smooth, Comfortable Shaves - Tallow-Based Soap - Made in The USA Found on Amazon
Soon, if you desire, you'll be able to shave every day of the week with a different adjustable razor and most of the razors were gifts to boot....Some people have all the luck. ;-)
Please email me your address sheldon@globalshave.club. Replitech is a beautiful replica of a 1965 British Gillette Tech with a stainless steel ball end handle. ICE is one step up from a Merkur 34C or an EJDE89. It weighs 4 oz. and really a beautiful razor. R41+ is a redesign of an R41. (See KENSURFS reviews as well as a few others... ) I love your reviews and it would be an honour to send you these and see what you think. You will have the new kit in a week or so. Sheldon
Hello Paul, the shave was without much lather perhaps because of the soap, and moreover you are also not looking very happy with the soap, razor blade and shave and felt a bit tense, anyway nice shaving video.
Did anybody else notice how that razor looks just like the new emperor adjustable from Viking blades? I wonder if they bought the rights?! Haha yeah right we know Asia isn’t very good at that. Coach purse anyone I promise it’s legit?! Haha!
I guess you could use any thing to make a lather...But we don't watch to see a Hand soap Demo....some poor shaving soap maker was missed in the name of hand soap...since you like to experience new soaps..may we suggest. peanut butter and jelly. Pref Grape my fav no nuts Liked the razor and blade...I have many bottles of AV musk. My Fav....may I suggest using mushy peas as a after shave ..it's the only thing their good for...lol...The brush worked well enough on hand soap....but the white bristles not my fav...to fake looking...Flowers Great. No fake flowers Or hand soap...lol....well I'll leave you to your soap/shaving lather....cheers!🇬🇧🇺🇸🐈🐈🐈💈💈🍺🍺🍺🍺
I thought it would tug a bit due to being quite a sharp blade, like the Feather does tug sometimes for me on first use....but this felt fine during the shave John....many thanks :-)
@@PaulHFilms looks like a similar design as parthenon razor, which had bad reviews for same reason; anyway, i do not intend to purchase it, i have enough razors
I use this DE razor after struggling with others in the past. The adjustable is really handy for someone starting out using these razors, and helps with sensitive skin. Best tip I can give is, let the weight do the work for you.

Quite popular years ago, didn't have much shaving soap choice then, affordable soap anyway....does the job....cheers David :-)

Interesting shave with the hand soap! And the razor looks quite decent actually. All in all, a pretty good shave! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
It did the job, love this scent too.....have a great weekend, many thanks :-)
PaulHFilms scent sounds lovely, now you just need it in a proper shave soap! And you are most welcome😎
@@JMac. It would be good to get this scent in a shaving soap, I had one a few years back :-)
PaulHFilms oh brilliant! You’ll have to do some gentle prodding and see if some Artisan can make it become a reality again.
I am staggered that there is not a PaulH soap yet. If an artisan developed a soap for you which you eventually use on the channel; its haz to be a no brainer. Two obvious candidates for me. A coal tar formula for Mr. H and a floral arrangement for Mrs. H. This time next year Rodney, we'll be millionaires.
Yes, good soap scents there Gareth, Coal Tar would be my choice, Mrs H says floral sweet pea maybe.....He who dares Rodder's ! :-)
I've got three. Great razors.
very nice shaving Paul! Good evening!
Thank you Marco, and hope your weekend is going well :-)
Nice shave i also like the razor, as for the soap once in a while a also used Irish Spring and it work’s not the best but if your stuck whit nothing else it works. Thanks to share. Gino
Handy to know this works as a last minute thing, many thanks Gino :-)
Beautiful arrangement, Mrs.H!
Great shave Paul and lovely flowers Mrs H , I dont think id use hand soap for shaving my face is too sensitive.
Many thanks Jason :-)
Johnson’s baby soap is fantastic as a shaving soap 🧼 used it many times and it’s great for sensitive skin
Yes I bet it would be John....many thanks :-)
Hi Paul. Really enjoyed it. Razor and blade seemed excellent. Gotta pass on the soap as a lather maker....kind of reminded me of Williams lol. On a side note, just received Wilkinson Sword`s new razor. What a beautiful excellent razor for a very excellent price. Around $16 usd. May even bring down the price of other razors for them to remain competitive. Thanks for the video.☺
Glad you got the razor, nice isn't it for the price. Have a great week Brian and thanks :-)
I try diff handsoaps too, some good some bad, SHIELD that brings back memories of my childhood...☺ is it still made?? I used Palmolive handsoap n Dove with others, fun to try, n dirtcheap shavings 👍👍. As always a nice video, i was just lookin at that razor online...take care, n keep shaving.
I used TOBS grapefruit today (what a scent) with my Gillette rocket HD, Treet 7 days blade, smooth 😁🥰.
Cheers!!👍❤
Nice trying different ones, yes I think you can still get it, most likely online these days, not seen it around here in the shops....one of my favourite soap scents is the Grapefruit, nice isn't it....many thanks :-)
@@PaulHFilms its such a nice scent that grapefruit, today i mixed it with some Stirling Iced Pineapple ☺☺👍👍 , great shave n scent...need cooling menthol now, popped up to 30° in just a few days, last week we had 5°...LOL
Not a bad shave considering what you had to work with as far as the soap is concerned. For me, If I have a soap that dissipates like that did, I'll lather like the sides of the face and the neck, shave that, then lather the mustache / goatee area and shave that. I know it takes longer, but I get nervous when the lather dissipates. Anyway, my compliments to Mrs. H on the flowers.
Yes, it did the job fair play, many thanks David, all the best :-)
Very nice shave sir. I used to use Dove bar soap to shave when I was in Iraq. Easy to transport.
Thank you, yes, Dove is a nice soap isn't it.
How about trying the palmolive bath soap as I requested some time ago? It could be an alternative to the shave stick that got discontinued.
Hi Paul! Sunny greetings from Sweden and good health to you! Me myself I wouldn't shave with a hand soap or maybe if I really had no choice...Later on today I'm going to shave with my monster heavyweight Parker 98R razor and I'm looking forward to it. It's a mighty aggressive razor too and I wonder if You have it in Your collection Paul? I would like to see you use it and hear your thoughts of it. Cheers and a hooray to The Shaving Welchsman!
Hi Alex, that is one model I don't have the 98R, my other Parker razors I find to have a mid aggression for me, so the 98R sounds interesting.....hope you enjoy your shave , many thanks .. Paul.
@@PaulHFilms Hi Paul and thank you for answering. Indeed I had a very pleasant shave with 'The Monster', I've learned to do as you always say: no pressure whatsoever - let the razor (and blade) do the job and my face is thankful for that nowadays. But I don't use the Feather or Mühleblades with the Parker 98R, well maybe in the future when I'm more expierienced in the ways of DE-shaving. Cheers to You Paul and thanks again for your interesting and humorous videos!
Your cat is hilarious. I think he/she is trying to let you know that you're dangerously low on Palmolive shave sticks.
Your right there..lol
Ahaha 0:33. Always his shaving give me a relaxing time. Thanks!
Many thanks :-)
Happy Sunnday all and Mr Paul
Thanks Paul, have a great day :-)
Hi,Paul!
It is a company,Mutiny Shaving, who produce natural soaps for shaving!It's1 for £4,50!They have some interesting scents!Could you try one of them?Thank you!
Aqua velva musk one of my favorite aftershaves very refreshing ! Cheers!
Great scent isn't it....thanks :-)
Great shave Paul how would you compare the razor to the fatip picolo in aggression
Thanks Joy, the Fatip Piccolo is much more aggressive.
Nice shave Paul interesting looking razor. PO Box's cost £200 a year but you can get a free PO.address and just pay as you go just paying a small amount for each item.of post they handle and you pick up from your local sorting office
Many thanks Simon, very helpful :-)
Nice shave Mr H. I think PAA makes a coal soap for Christmas.
Ah thanks , will keep an eye out then :-)
Great vid paul
Thank you :-)
Weishi sponsored by Geofatboy lol! Wrights coal tar soap has been my daily ablutions soap for years. I have used it for shaving in my cartridge days when I ran out of canned goo, not tried it with a DE but I think I should, just love the smell of it.
Great soap isn't it, thanks Craig :-)
Was the head on the razor moving while you were shaving? I would hear a clicking noise sometimes.
I was worried about that happening, but no it was fine, never felt any movement...thanks :-)
try using pears for shaving. I used it and the lather was pretty good for a non shaving soap.
Will do, another classic soap....thanks :-)
Can not beat a Mr. Whippy ice cream at the seaside.
Yes, always enjoy it and Fish and Chips, until the seagulls dive bomb for it...lol
Nice shave!
Thanks Richard :-)
I think a company called Vikings Blade has an identical razor which they call "the emperor" . They have other renamed Wei Shi models, as w ell
Great shave Paul! can you do a shave with P.A.A Sun Down?
Yes I have a shave using the Sun Down soap, very nice....thanks Michael :-)
Maybe a stupid question but do you ever use disposable razors and shaving foam or gel
No don't use them, not for many years actually.
Hi Paul. Could you try the Palmolive hand soap?
I thought I had filmed a shave using that, I know I have shaved with it, it did the job, must do it again....thanks Pat :-)
Alice Is Making A Call For The Ice Cream Truck !! She Knows What Shes Doing .... 😃😃😃
Right on cue....lol....thanks Kevin :-)
PaulHFilms I LOVE IT !!
Very Hot And Humid Here In Harrisonburg Va . ....Paul If I Wanted To Send You A Razor How Would I Do It ?
@@kevinb3030 Sounds very hot there...lol....do you have an email I can send my details to you? Or you can email me paulhfilms@gmail.com Thanks
Excellent video Mr. H
Thank you very much
@@PaulHFilms My pleasure, sir!
If the times were different I'd send some over along with a wonderful Greek shaving powder that I own, at the moment though, I can provide you with links, should you wish^^
@@tezas87 Thank you, links would be good, as I can see the products, take care :-)

similar to my Vikings blade Augustus razor. I dont like the build of the vikings.. lots of little things about it , i dont like . The blade seems to lay a little slanted. gives me cuts quite often. Ive heard many good things about Weishi , the price is quite cheap, so i wish i wouldve bought Weishi.
That looks suspiciously like the Vikings Blade Emperor Augustus adjustable safety razor!
The head design of the VB looks different, more like a classic Gillette head. Maybe Weishi is the manufacturer, maybe not, but it's most likely made in China.
Great shave love ice cream. And your cat Love's you too. A lot has gone on. See my report
Thank you David :-)
Nice look at the weishi Edge Paul ... I must say I don't think much of Weishi as a brand... poor blade alignment and on them ... very sloppy tolerances and too much blade overhang but that is just my take ... Kit
Thanks Kit :-)
Was there an ingredients list on the package?
Yes there is a ingredients list, and it's made in Turkey for a British company who are part of the Unilever company. Here is a photo from Google of the back of the soap packet: bit.ly/2JQDMiK
where did you buy this razor from i cant seem to find it
It was sent to me by a viewer, so not sure sorry.
Pine Tar Handmade Luxury Shaving Soap by Chiseled Face - Rich, Thick Lather - Smooth, Comfortable Shaves - Tallow-Based Soap - Made in The USA Found on Amazon
Кот молодец!!
Try Avon care cream. Aloe vera. Good cream.
I have heard Avon are good....don't seem to see any people calling these days.
Soon, if you desire, you'll be able to shave every day of the week with a different adjustable razor and most of the razors were gifts to boot....Some people have all the luck. ;-)
That's true, you need to start a shaving channel....lol....many thanks :-)
They were forced to change the "Traditional" soap, so.... is that really "traditional" any more?
You can use that bandana now as a face mask.
I have 3 wonderful razors to send you. How can I get them to you??
Please email me your address sheldon@globalshave.club.
Replitech is a beautiful replica of a 1965 British Gillette Tech with a stainless steel ball end handle.
ICE is one step up from a Merkur 34C or an EJDE89. It weighs 4 oz. and really a beautiful razor.
R41+ is a redesign of an R41. (See KENSURFS reviews as well as a few others... )
I love your reviews and it would be an honour to send you these and see what you think.
You will have the new kit in a week or so.
Sheldon
I will email you , thank you Sheldon, they sound great razors. :-)
Should there be a dot com at the end of your email Sheldon? As google won't send it . thanks.
@@PaulHFilms Enjoy!
I have sent the email, many thanks :-)
Send me a plate of the lamb lol
Ok will do :-)
Are you Robert de niro?
I wish....lol
Hello Paul, the shave was without much lather perhaps because of the soap, and moreover you are also not looking very happy with the soap, razor blade and shave and felt a bit tense, anyway nice shaving video.
Yes, it won't lather well as it is a hand soap, but does the job, really enjoy the scent of this soap, and the razor is good, many thanks :-)
Sounds like someone is pulling your cat's tail on the other side of the door!
Haha.....yes she is quite vocal.
Did anybody else notice how that razor looks just like the new emperor adjustable from Viking blades? I wonder if they bought the rights?! Haha yeah right we know Asia isn’t very good at that. Coach purse anyone I promise it’s legit?! Haha!
A few people say the same thing....you never know..lol.
👍👍
Thanks :-)
Good morning sir it’s Jon 😲 that feedback loud very tost scraper lol
Yes, quite loud audio feedback Jon :-)
I guess you could use any thing to make a lather...But we don't watch to see a Hand soap Demo....some poor shaving soap maker was missed in the name of hand soap...since you like to experience new soaps..may we suggest. peanut butter and jelly. Pref Grape my fav no nuts
Liked the razor and blade...I have many bottles of AV musk. My Fav....may I suggest using mushy peas as a after shave ..it's the only thing their good for...lol...The brush worked well enough on hand soap....but the white bristles not my fav...to fake looking...Flowers Great. No fake flowers
Or hand soap...lol....well I'll leave you to your soap/shaving lather....cheers!🇬🇧🇺🇸🐈🐈🐈💈💈🍺🍺🍺🍺
Mushy pea cologne...lol.....you would love that. :-)
Sounds like it’s tugging
I thought it would tug a bit due to being quite a sharp blade, like the Feather does tug sometimes for me on first use....but this felt fine during the shave John....many thanks :-)
C'mon, Douglas Smythe, get on it and create a cold tar shave soap!
Would be great Jill :-)
this razor should be called wee wee; no drainage channels? fail
I never noticed any problems during the shave with it, but it is rinsed regularly
@@PaulHFilms looks like a similar design as parthenon razor, which had bad reviews for same reason; anyway, i do not intend to purchase it, i have enough razors
First!
*Congratulations* :-)
