Have A Great Shave, Have A Great Day!
Geo.
That is some killer audible feedback from the razor. Great shave Geo. A beautiful razor that should last a lifetime. What's not to love. ❤️
Thanks Ronnie! Enjoy the holiday!
I've just found you Mr. Geo...I'm 50 now, and have been shaving with Gillette Mach3 for the last 25 years or so. Sooooo much landfill...I'm kind of ashamed! Your videos will help me teach my young guy how to shave properly when the time comes. Perhaps you know how valuable your lessons really are to the common man, young and "older" (in my case older). I can't wait to receive my stuff from your shop that was ordered today. BTW...My family and I lived in Highland Park before we moved to Michigan. Wish I would have known of you then (5 years ago). We miss Chicago!!!!!
Regards,
Jason
So impressive. A master of the gentlemanly arts.
THanks Robert!
Excellent shaving with correct instructions
Thank you!
That’s the most beautiful razor out there imo … simple and elegant
Thanks Vlad! I'm glad you think so.
These are some pretty informative videos. I'm now have 12 shaves (and counting) with a straight razor. I also haven't nicked myself or had any serious razor burn since my second SR shave. The one odd thing with me though is that 'against the grain' on my jawline goes from ear to chin, not the way yours does. So, once I finished, I just used my Merkur 25C to go from ear to chin. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to go against the grain, ear to chin, on my jawline and not injure myself.
Bro your bathroom is beautiful.
Well, thank you.
Not his bathroom, he is using a Chroma Key AKA Green Screen. Still a good video anyway.
haha yeah you can see the green screen coming through on the blue bandana
"Well, thank you" 😂
Yeh I think that's a green screen buddy
I have been wet shaving for two years thanks to your videos and guidance. I mostly use a safety razor for time and convenience sake. However when I am coming off of two to for four weeks of leave or even three days for that matter I take my time and set up for a good straight razor shave!!! Thank you for all of your hard work to show us the PROPER way to shave.
I shaved with a straight razor for years and I finally stopped when the kids were little , I was afraid one would get a hold of it. I never cut with a sharp one, It was just when I slacked off and let them get dull. They would hang and slide to the side a little and then a OH CRAP!, Kids are gone now and getting my stuff together again. Nothing like the feel of a blade against your face and the feel of a good shave!
Your videos encouraged me to get into straight razor shaving. Thanks for all the tips!
Is straight razor really better than cartridge one ?
@@advaitgogte6385 Chainsaws maybe newer but saws are still the prefered tree felling tool of many..It's not about better. It's about what works best for you.
@@morganillsley94 What a great analogy !! 🙌🏻
Cant tell if this is easier then some people hype straight razors to be or hes just a god
This guy is doing a review clearly the blade is sharp and it’s doing it’s job there is no hype to this
@@jessechapman6633 what I meant is I feel like I hear that strait razor shaving is very difficult, is it as hard as some people say wouldve been better wording
PS~ You Sir are an Artist with a Straight Razor . All my respect. Cheers from Texas
Thank you William! Practice...
such a cozy bathroom, i could hang there all day.
Damn! You made that look so easy! Thanks for the great tutorial.
Geo, Another great video to educate me I have a 5/8" George Wostenholm Straight Razor coming and I am going to give straight razors a try. I will be rewatching your straight razor videos before I start. Thank you once again for teaching as you shave, I have learned so much from you
Thanks Bobak- I'm glad I could help and thanks for watching!
Any one else find the noise of straight razor going against the face satisfying
You mean like this? ruclips.net/video/TQb_Ece_FCs/видео.html
I'm more of a safety razor guy, but straight razors are freakin' cool!!
Which is a main part of why we love them!
Geo, great tutorials. Easy to follow and duplicate. Made my 1st purchase of the SN Boker, looking forward to it's arrival. Keep up the good work and much success to you.
That feedback is impressive from a razor right out of the box! Excellent video as usual
That brush looks great, synthetic brushes have come a long way.
I totally agree.
It was like a meditation to watch you shave your beard. 😅😌🙏🏻 I bought a Dovo Bergischer Löwe 6/8. Greetings from Germany!
Amazing! Thanks for putting it that way! Love it! Great razor BTW.
I like the look of that brush
A milestone. Your first synthetic on video.
Hi Dino, I haven't thought about it, but I think you may be right! Good catch.
That's a great video! But it's pronounced "Böker" and not "Boker". The two dots over the "o" are not there just for fun.
The "ö"-sound shouldn't be a problem to a native English speaker. It just sounds exactly like the "u" in "urgent", the second "e" in "emergency" or the "i" in "James T. Kirk".
It can lead to bizarre confusions with German speaking people, when not using the so called Umlaute.
E.g.:
Schlosser = locksmith
Schlösser = palaces
lastig = heavy
lästig = annoying
schwul = gay (homosexual)
schwül = muggy
Bar = bar/pub
Bär = bear
rosten = to rust
rösten = to roast
lugen = to peek
lügen = to lie
schon = already
schön = beautiful/handsome
etc.
Best regards from Vienna, Austria!
Ps.: If you don't have "ä"-, "ö"- or "ü"-keys on your keybord just substitute them with "ae", "oe" and "ue".
I need to know two things:
1. Why do we buy some standard straight razors and have trouble sharpening it and using the leather stripe to keep them sharp, when we can use some shavettes and skip all the sharpening processes?
2. This razor doesn't use some wider shaving than some shavette. I can't see that you use the whole width of this razor to shave your face. You use only one part of it, the same width as if you use shavette.
So, why would we bother to have some standard straight razor, when we can just use a half of a standard blade and be carefree, regarding sharpening some standard straight razor?
I, too, always thought that the shavette was more practical than the traditional straight razor. You get the same experience with it and it doesn't require religious stropping and honing every now and then. The idea of replaceable blades really has evolved shaving.
This is a real nice razor for anyone out there looking to get into straight razor shaving, hell it's a nice razor for the seasoned shaver too!
Thanks for that Adam! Have a great holiday weekend!
Very nice and educative video
My rotary Philips shaver 6650 series with trimmer and nose trimmer is way faster, as an HGV driver I use on the route, don't need any creams and water, it's a very quick and precise shaver as long you are doing it right, long live Philips rotary shavers!!!
I recommend Philips rotary shavers with smart click trimmer and nose trimmer, as they're are good when not shaving on a daily basis, they are durable and fast.
Oh-You're the guy I saw shaving in the car, in traffic the other day?
Excellent video... I am fan of your videos, I always learn something new...
Thanks a lot Eduardo! I appreciate your support over the years.
Мне нравится продукт Böker, а видео интересное. удачи Вам. Спасибо.
You're a brave man Geo!
Hi Doc, not sure why I'm brave, but thanks! Hope all is well.
Fresh shave right out of the box no pre hone or strop. Very brave
Hello, thank u for all the effort and info u put for us, u made me learn alot of things about shaving! But I do have a question does the grind of the blade make a difference when shaving coarse hair ? Will this kind of grind work just fine for coarser hair ?
BROTHER you are a master, but I must admit a couple of passes on the strop would have made the glide a little more slick. 😎 I have just subscribed to your channel.
Sounds good. Thanks!
You have great skill. Please post a blooper real in which the red stuff comes out.
You must be a big John Carpenter fan !
@@geofatboy Hey, I will give that a goog, thanks. I just chopped up my face, trying to be too careful, I think, so I am reaaaaaalllly paying close attention to your technique. I think confidence and deliberate movements are part of it. Razors sense fear.
Great video geo! I learned some great pointers. I'm new to the game of straight razor shaving and the 1st time I used a ready to shave straight my face pretty much looked like it was hit with a meat grinder. Not a nice site to say the least. Hopefully 2nd time around which will be later on today, I'll get better results. Thanks again my man.
Your skills will improve with every shave. Take a break and come back to it and they will get even better!
Hi Geo. I shaved for the 3rd time on the 4th of July using my straight and I can see an improvement from the first time around . Less nicks and redness. My confidence level using the straight is getting up there slowly but surely. Thanks for the advice brother. Hope you had a great 4th.
Dam good job, man. I really want to learn how to get a shave like that.
A bit of practice and you own that!
This man's face is made of steel.
nice shave Bro!
Happy 'Merica Day! 👍💈🍻🇺🇸
Thanks James! Have a wonderful weekend! Celebrate our independence!
Dude you have a beautiful bathroom
thanks, I always struggle with the chin, I'm learning how to shave that part
Hello Geo being watching your videos and totally enjoy them..question I bought a parker semi slant are watching your video but can't seem to get the blade to be centered ...one side seems to be protruding more than the other side..
Any suggestion on how to fix this ?? Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦
Wow. That is a great video. I mailed you a while back checking on how shave ready the razor is out of the box. I should have seen this video earlier. What would you recommend as a kit to go along with this shave Nation straight razor for maintaining the edge?
Nice captioning!
Thank you! I try to have accurate closed captioning in all of my videos. If you find one that doesn't have it please let me know. Thanks for viewing! Geo.
@geofatboy - I can definitely tell, we appreciate it!
I've noticed that my shaving lather soap seems to dry out long before I've finished shaving
Cool Razor and perfect cream
Thanks Minik!
I know this is about your razor, but dude! Is that your bathroom? It is sick! when I grow up I wanna be just like you
obvious green screen
Got two cut throat razer just a modal
To dangerous
I like the design of them
This was a great video. Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Geo….years ago I tried for the first time a straight razor shave and being completely unskilled in how to use one I cut myself pretty good just below my left ear and bleed like a stuck pig for a few minutes before it stopped and my wife said and I quote “Get rid of that damn thing!!!” and I haven’t done a straight razor shave since, of course this was before RUclips or any other media that we have today. To be perfectly honest I want to try my hand at it again but I’m somewhat scared because I don’t have the skills to do it much less the money to get a quality razor and the equipment to keep it in working condition. I have considered a shavette razor since their cheaper and you don’t have to horn or strop it to maintain an edge…..any suggestions?
Sure, many shavers start with a shavette, then once mastered, jump to a traditional straight razor. Have fun with it. Start with the cheeks, then progress.
Fine stout, sounds like a brush made out of beer XD
You're right-it does... I see it in a tall glass, dark, with a nice head on top... But I digress.
Awesome job guy
I thought about starting straight razor shave What would you recommend for beginners?
Have a great day bro
Have a great 4th man, thanks for another great video.
Thanks very much Cole, Celebrate our independence! Just make sure you show up with 10 fingers on Wednesday :)
I'm watching this because I'm 15 years old and I'm gonna have to start shaving soon.
I always use a safety razor when i shave, but I'm interested in trying out a straight razor, even though I don't really know how to maintain a straight razor, I still want to try and learn. If I were to buy a safety razor, what kind of stone and strop would you recommend I buy to use so i can keep my straight razor sharpend and in good shape , And if there is anything else, what else would you recommend that I buy besides a strop and stone to maintain my straight razor sharpness?
Excellent video!
Thanks!
Smells like ASMR
How do I sharpen a double edge safety razor blade at home?
I'm between this one and a dovo.
How does the sharpness compared to say other straight razors that are ready to shave with. From how loud it was it almost seems like it was a little dull
Great razor. How do you maintain this razor? How often would it need to be sharpened if it's used daily?
antonio armijo It should be stropped either before or some guys prefer after each use, when you need to hone the razor depends on a few things but with every day use it will probably end up between 3-6 months
antonio armijo I forgot to say if you aren't comfortable with honing a razor yourself you could always send it in for a honing when it needs to be done. But you will definitely need to own a strop if you want to shave with a straight razor
You can shave with it right out of the box as I demonstrate here, and then it should be stropped before every shave. When the strop no longer gets it sharp enough to shave with then you can refresh it on a Naniwa 12K Stone. Watch this video: shavenation.com/collections/naniwa-super-stones
I have exactly the same razor, and when the leather strop just isn't enough anymore... Well, I'm the lucky owner of a vintage natural combo Belgian Coticule / BBW (Belgian Blue Whetstone) of selected quality. :)
I'm into the italian traditional shaving, and I've just discovered your channel. I'm loving it!
Just one little advice that works great for me: I always start with a wet face, more so with a straight razor.
Top master
Neck and jaw are tricky
Is the lather sample available on ebay?or even Facebook
Contact ebay and ask for a sample of anything... highly doubtful.
Can you achieve with a streight razor the same closeness you get with a sefety eazor?
It's not as sharp as honed. The sound says it all. 😊
Can you do a video about oiling a razor and what natural oils to use etc?
Hi David,
Until I get it done-here's the product: goo.gl/hSZrXT
I'm only 15 by the way, See what gets me upset is when somebody clean shaves themselves and no matter what they do you can still see a shadow or an outline of the facial hair. I want a shave where you don't see a trace of hair.
Then go against the grain very carefully, take your time and don't apply pressure against your skin. Should prob start with a safety razor.
Great review Geo.
Thank you Steven!
Rinse off the finger. Wink Wink LOL
Someone's always gotta go there😂❗️

Geo.... Boker makes super knives and I didn't know they made razors.... how about DE blades? Do they make them?
Yes, I have seen some Böker DE blades, not too popular and I'm not sure why.
Lather party.
Woo Hooo!!!!!!!!
Il DIVO BASE E OTTIMO?5/8?
No pre shave gel?
Can someone tell me what he rubbed on his face after the shave? It looked like a deodorant stick (but i know it's not).
It's an Alum Block. They come in different sizes/shapes, he's using a travel deodorant style one that I believe he sells at Shave Nation.
Another Geo video! :D
Thank you Vante!
Bro I like it video
It didn't give a close shave ...cartridge razor would have given a more closer and smoother shave
Hi Geo, at the end of your recent videos you drive away with your Harley. You're a man of safety. You should wear a helmet! I'm a bike fellow from Germany (BMW). I Think you want to protect your face for your videos, wich I like a lot. Regards Christoph
Scary
He has some resemblance of Elvis presley ...
Like new Man!
Any specials or discounts for Canadians?
If you set me up with tickets when the Habs play the Blackhawks :)
Question for you, you obviously tried many more razors than me. I'm still on my first - a Merkur 33C - and its great, but can't help wonder if there's better. The 34HD (Merkur) always comes up in lists as being the best - have you ever compared the two and any tips or advice you can give? By the way, I do love your videos and tutorials - you got me pretty close to getting a dovo shavette :)
I LIKE VERY MUCH THE SHAVE WITH STRAIGHT RAZOR BUT I SEE IT VERY DIFFICULT.
I'M AFRAID, I WILL CUT ALL MY FACE.
Practice makes perfect!
Pretty good price on it right now.
Thanks for mentioning that Kodie! We lowered it to support the video: shavenation.com/products/new-boker-shave-nation-custom-5-8-straight-razor-black
geofatboy I think this calls for pressing the buy button!
Brilliant bet you can sharpen knives and your razor with that jaw.😂
I understand to each their own. I think, If he saw me shave, He would just send all the samples.
Unless it killed him.
Watching me shave, would likely cause him physical distress.
I think sharp that needs professional hands
Geo,
I absolutely must say, you do a fabulous and wonderful job with your shaving videos. Not only are you always taking the time to explain each step of the shaving process, but you also explain why and what you are doing. You have helped me improve my shaving tremendously. I use a Merkur Futur Adjustable razor with a Feather Blade.
I would like to try my hand at using a straight razor, but I have a question first. Can I use a straight razor with one hand? I have Cerebral Palsy on my left side and do not have the dexterity as my right side does. I can certainly try.
What would you suggest? Thank you for your time!
Best,
Jerry Johnston

Or would it be better to get a Japanese style straight razor?
Quando il rasoio taglia sul serio, con la barba così lunga, non serve il contro pelo... Quel Boker va affilato da un bravo arrotino...
Shaving is a barbaric practice best left to women.
Heard you the first time 😂
