      @@knightmare1015 I have a good collection of razors. Mostly ones that most guys who wet shave are familiar with. I bought some and some were gifts. Most shave really well. The Merkur Futur and Progress are excellent. But every now and then I go back to my 34C and most recently my DE89. The DE89 gives me excellent results with all my favourite blades. Definitely a good razor. But they need extra care. Wipe dry after every use and don't drop it. I've had mine for quite some time and it looks as good as new.

Proraso is also a top choice, all varieties are great. Watching you is refreshing as there's no drama, no crying, no blah blah blah, just precise explanation and dead on shaving expertise, thanks.

    Hi Geo! Just gotta say I am 26 and just started off with wet shaving here in Canada. I decided on the R89 twist as my very first razor as I don't think I'd like the lighter short razors. I'm lacking skill but with the Astra blades I've got a few good first shaves and no cuts! Love the recommendation, beautiful heavy piece of equiment. After a few months of practice I may pick up an adjustable of some sort or something more aggressive 👌 cheers man love your channel 🙏

    First, I picked up a Vikings Blade Crusader (hmmm), next, I bought a Jagger regular handle Chrome (shiny things) which I truly love.
    But since I am looking for the ultimate Zen in shaving, I bowed to the master and bought an R89 Twist which gives me the extra length in the handle and the twist design. I wish I would have found your videos sooner.

    Well at the moment my go-to right now is the Rockwell Model T with a Gillette Silver Blue blade it is a bit heavy as I have a wrecked right shoulder but boy it is really good. I also like the Gillette Super Slim 109 and the Feather razors with a mixture of the above blade or a Feather , Personna , or Polsilver blades. I am two pass shave as three passes cause me some irritation though the TOBS for sensitive skin is good for that too.

      @kwl189 2 года назад

      I have the AS-D2. Beautiful build quality. It does require an adjustment in technique as there’s a specific angle it will work well at like 45 degree. Persist and you’ll get used to it within a week or two depending on how often you shave. Very solidly made and it will last you probably its lifetime barring any accidents like the metal handle being bent.

    Hey again Geo,
    Glad to see you’re posting more and more shave vids. They’re just really fun to watch, especially with the new creams/soaps and aftershaves you throw in from time to time! At some point, would you please review the TI Spartacus? It’s been a while since we last saw it in action, and it’d be great to hear your thoughts on its design and performance. Thanks!
    - Nick

    Thank you for the video. As I am in classic razor shaving since yesterday I am pleased to find out, that there is a small company in Germany manufacturing everyday products at a competitive price (still saving Money for a NOMOS) . This may be another "Hidden Champion". R89 Twist will be my 1st razor.

    I don’t have a favourite razor. I like to rotate through my collection of DE open, DE closed and straight razors to prevent my face and stubble getting too used to one type of razor. I have found that despite always using a new blade when DE shaving or freshly stropped straight razor and remaining consistent with preparation/product use, using the same razor for a number of consecutive daily shaves can reduce the closeness of the result. Has anyone else noticed something similar? Maybe this is just my justification for owing so many razors....

    Ha, I’d never have correctly guessed Geo’s favourite. If put on the spot, I’d have picked a more aggressive razor as his best one.
    Mine was a slight toughie. The Rockwell 6S always springs to mind. But no, I’d say the Muhle R41 Grande is atop my list.

    • @markbotta8567
      @markbotta8567 4 года назад +2

      Agreed. While I'm not surprised at the feather blade, I too would have thought a more aggressive razor. Perhaps an open comb design.

      Mark Botta ...Yea, my thoughts exactly. I’m pleasantly surprised at his choice of the R89 which, to be fair, is a first-class razor in its own right. Only I didn’t expect a shaving veteran virtuoso like Geo picking it as his fave. Btw, I love Feather and Kai blades best. And Perma-Sharp. My R41 gets to have all of them by rotation. What’s your favourite razor and blade?
