Nicks back!! Your the reason I switched to a safety razor man. I've been shaving like this for 3 years now and will never go back. Keep up the good vids!
Good to see you back, as a dedicated straight shaver, I hope for a straight shave. I (try to) have 10 soaps only in the rota, 7 straights, 2 DE, a 34C and ATT, like as you try new stuff, but pass a lot of stuff on if I doens't like it, or like but not as much of others with similar smell
You mentioned in the vid that we should suggest a razor to remove the beard when the time comes. I'd like to suggest the Fatip Grande. It's an all brass razor made in italy, plated in nickel, open comb, and costs about $23. The old one's had a reputation for poor QC but they retooled back in 2016, and the new ones are pretty amazing. It's slightly less aggressive than the R41, but nearly as efficient. If you like the R41, I think you'll really enjoy the Fatip Grande. It's great to see you back!
Cool video man, looking forward to the next one. As to the question of what to use to take the beard all the way down i say use a single edge razor, if you don't have one my next choice would be a straight or a shavette,
Good, i'm gonna use the technique of drawing the division across the shaving cream with your finger, never thought of that. Btw, i find that using my straight razor i get ultimate precision on the cheek lines, which is the only thing i use it for now.
How about nick how are you? very good your videos as always despite not understanding the language very much, I love to watch anyway. You could do some video with reviews of shaving sticks of different brands and models. thank you and continue like this ........
Just my two cents but I always enjoy seeing the Muhle R41 up against some serious beard growth. Would the 6 plate on Rockwell be able to take that much growth down? Glad to see a new video because you will always be my favorite channel. Happy Holidays to you, and your family!
Glad to see you're back. Been waiting for a new episode. And Thank you. You showed me how to shave and how it can be a fun hobby. Can't thank you enough
Glad to see you making videos again. I would like to see you use the Merkur Futur or (QShave / Mingshi 2000) version for your beard off shave. I think that would slice through your beard nicely. I recently bought the QShave and it has become my favorite razor. I use it on setting 3 and get the smoothest shave. For your beard, probably setting 6 for the initial pass then 3 for the next two passes would work great.
As a new wetshaver, I've enjoyed these videos. I've learned things that would have taken me years to learn on my own experiences. Excited for a chance to get some gear with the giveaways.
Doing the same thing. (No Shave Nov.) Only I've been learning to use a straight for trimming. Partly because of some of your videos. So far, so good. Great video Nick!
Maybe you can use your Rockwell with plate 6 and a sharp but smooth blade to tackle that beard. That would be an interesting change from the already documented results with the R41 and straight razor. Happy Holidays!!
How about using the Rockwell and doing a step down shave starting at the most aggressive plate. This much growth would be a good show of what the plates can do without getting irritation.
Thanks for the update video Nick, clearly you are missed! I have to admit, I got pretty excited to see a notification that you posted a new video! Happy Thanksgiving!
I'd love to see you use the vintage Gillette new type razor open comb you have!! Makes sense that it would chop that beard off, without having to use 2 different razors
Nick great video bro. I've been watching your videos for a long time as a matter of fact you and Geo FatBoy are the ones who got me into wetshaving. I'm a head shaver. Would love for you to a live head shaver with a DE. That would be amazing! Thanks for the videos Nick!!
Great video as always Nick! What special care/products have you been using for your beard? Shampoo, coam, oil? Btw, deeply interested in the give away!
Nice shave, Nick- really good to see you again. I have appreciated all of your advice on shaving and great product reviews. Hope to continue seeing your videos as your time permits. Have a great Thanksgiving week! All the best.
. The Merkur 34C is the bomb ! I think you should use the *Merkur 25C* to take your beard off. It's one of my favorite razors and I know it will kill your beard with no problem. It's an open comb and my daily shaver because it's soooo smooooth.
FWIW, I had a difficult surgery towards the end of 2016, and was in the hospital and post-surgical rehab for a bunch of months. I ended up with a Santa Claus like beard, but my R41 with a new Feather blade took it off easily, like shearing a sheep. This would be a fine way to end No Shave November.
Woah.. Nick Shaves going against the grain. That’s new. Definitely use the stallion gold dolla 300 for the beard shave off! P.S. make more videos we miss them!!!
Hello Nick, is it possible that you review Executive Shaving Company Bravehearth DE and SE Claymore? And also, it will be cool to see reviews and usage of cheaper Simpsons brush (special,wee scot, case etc...).. Greetings from Croatia
Great to see another video from you Nick! Sure hope all is well. Hopefully we get another straight razor beard off video in a week or so :) Happy Thanksgiving!
Surprised you didn't use straight razor. Hit the top line on the mustache. A straight razor just so much better for clean lines. Thanks for your vids, keep up the good work. You've been missed.
Good shave 🪒 but you took to much off the top. When I shave I don’t shave the top only bottom. So they beard can look fuller. But all together nice shave man.
I didn't know that, news to me. I swear i've heard him mention his "wife" in other videos. But whatever, doesn't matter to me, it's a free country. I just didn't get that....... vibe.
Doesn’t feel like your heart is in this anymore Nick. That’s a shame because you’re easily my favourite RUclipsr. You did I think 10 videos this past year, less than one per month. I know you’re a surgeon and all so I can totally understand that you have other priorities in life, I’d just say maybe it’s time to knock this on the head if you can’t commit to it.
Just be grateful he's still putting out videos. Nick does not have to "commit" to any of this, he's not a full time RUclipsr, and it's not like you're supporting him through Patreon or something...so back off
I’m grateful Nick still puts out videos, my point isn’t “You need to make more videos or stop doing it”. My point is that it seems like Nick puts up videos now because he hasn’t done one for a while, they don’t carry the same enthusiasm that they used to. I’m sure he gets sick of the 15 “Nick when are you doing a new video” comments that appear under every Instagram picture that he posts, it’s only human. My point is that if life and his priorities are too much for him to be a RUclipsr at the same time then maybe it’s time to stop for a while.

Nicks back!! Your the reason I switched to a safety razor man. I've been shaving like this for 3 years now and will never go back. Keep up the good vids!
Good to see you back. I too am doing no shave November. I am following your advice and shaving my neck. Again welcome back and happy shaves.
Thank you Nick for making your videos. I always learn something new from them.
Good to see you back, as a dedicated straight shaver, I hope for a straight shave.
I (try to) have 10 soaps only in the rota, 7 straights, 2 DE, a 34C and ATT, like as you try new stuff, but pass a lot of stuff on if I doens't like it, or like but not as much of others with similar smell
Good to see you back here again! I'd say use the Merkur 37C Slant Bar with a Feather blade when you take the beard off
Great to see you back doing your videos Nick.
Welcome back. I’m missed seeing your videos.
On Thursday, when we say what we are thankful for, I will say " Nick Shaves' videos"! Thanks again Nick and hope you have a great holiday.
+Chris Garcia likewise! Thanks for the support, that’s why I make the videos, glad you enjoy them
nick shaves FWIW ; I'd go with the R41 and a fresh Feather blade. If you have a Merkur Futur, that would be interesting as well.
You mentioned in the vid that we should suggest a razor to remove the beard when the time comes. I'd like to suggest the Fatip Grande. It's an all brass razor made in italy, plated in nickel, open comb, and costs about $23.

Hi Nick from Scotland- thanks for the great tips and reviews
Personna Blue Lab. Nice blade! YES ON THE GIVE-AWAYS!
Nice to see you coming back. 💈👍🏼
Welcome back Nick! I've missed you
It's good to see another video from you, Nick.
I always enjoy your shaving videos and reviews.
Thanks for sharing them!
As far as removing the beard when the time comes, why not try a shavette this time?
I don't think you'll have a problem.
Good to see ya back, hope all is well!
Loving my R41. Give it another go.
You're back! Glad to see you making a new video. I started wet shaving from watching your videos.
Always enjoy your videos! You're great on camera, very clear.
Cool video man, looking forward to the next one. As to the question of what to use to take the beard all the way down i say use a single edge razor, if you don't have one my next choice would be a straight or a shavette,
Great to see another video. In regards to shaving off the beard, I think I would like to see you use the Sabre. If not than the R41.
Great videos. Question you don’t use pre-shave oils? May I ask why? I know you use the bloom water from the soap
Glad to see you back! Been awhile since you've used the Muhle R41! Seems like a great razor to take your beard off with.
Great video... not many videos out there show you how to outline the beard. I think any soap with a r41 would do a great job.
Good, i'm gonna use the technique of drawing the division across the shaving cream with your finger, never thought of that. Btw, i find that using my straight razor i get ultimate precision on the cheek lines, which is the only thing i use it for now.
How about nick how are you? very good your videos as always despite not understanding the language very much, I love to watch anyway.

Glad to see you're back. Been waiting for a new episode. And Thank you. You showed me how to shave and how it can be a fun hobby. Can't thank you enough
You're back! Good stuff as always.
Looking forward to that beard shave!

So weirdly relaxing to watch these videos!
.. is there "Cleaned out, Hydrated, Ready To Go" merch yet?!!
nice idea!!!
As a new wetshaver, I've enjoyed these videos. I've learned things that would have taken me years to learn on my own experiences. Excited for a chance to get some gear with the giveaways.
+Jim Combs great man! Glad to hear it.
Oh good, you're alive!
Nick, nice to have you back! For your beard shave off, you should use the classic Sandalwood from TOBS!
Doing the same thing. (No Shave Nov.) Only I've been learning to use a straight for trimming. Partly because of some of your videos. So far, so good. Great video Nick!
Great to see a video from you! How about trying the PAA Alpha Ecliptic slant to mow the beard down? I find it to be R41 like efficient.
Finally, you're back. I'm also doing No Shave November with you
Always glad when you post a video Nick!
How about trying a Feather shavette for the upcoming beard shave-off?
Maybe you can use your Rockwell with plate 6 and a sharp but smooth blade to tackle that beard. That would be an interesting change from the already documented results with the R41 and straight razor. Happy Holidays!!
Have you used a safety razor to shorten the hairs of your beard? I’ve been doing this carefully with my mustache and I think it works pretty well.
Welcome back Nick 😀
great to see another video from you, can't wait to see more content!
How about using the Razorock Hawk, at least I think that was the name of it, the single blade one.
How about using the Rockwell and doing a step down shave starting at the most aggressive plate. This much growth would be a good show of what the plates can do without getting irritation.
How about using the new Razor Emporium/Rex Supply Co Ambassador Razor to take the beard off?
Great to see another video from you man! you've been missed.
What about using Mercur futur de adjustable when you remove your beard hair
Thanks for the update video Nick, clearly you are missed! I have to admit, I got pretty excited to see a notification that you posted a new video! Happy Thanksgiving!
I'd love to see you use the vintage Gillette new type razor open comb you have!! Makes sense that it would chop that beard off, without having to use 2 different razors
Nick great video bro. I've been watching your videos for a long time as a matter of fact you and Geo FatBoy are the ones who got me into wetshaving. I'm a head shaver. Would love for you to a live head shaver with a DE. That would be amazing! Thanks for the videos Nick!!
Nick use the ikon tech it's even beaster and aggressive than the muhle r41
He's back!!!!!!!!
Glad to see a new video from you, Nick. Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving!
Nice trick 👌 appreciate you sharing this 👍
Woohoo! Nick is back.
Great video as always Nick! What special care/products have you been using for your beard? Shampoo, coam, oil? Btw, deeply interested in the give away!
Try the Phoenix doc evolution aluminum or ss
Semogue 620 is one of the most underrated shaving brush.
Nice shave, Nick- really good to see you again. I have appreciated all of your advice on shaving and great product reviews. Hope to continue seeing your videos as your time permits. Have a great Thanksgiving week! All the best.
What is your opinion on electric shavers?
I am also participating in the No Shave November fundraiser. It is my first attempt at growing a beard. I decided to go "au natural" (no trimming).
.
The Merkur 34C is the bomb !
I think you should use the *Merkur 25C* to take your beard off. It's one of my favorite razors and I know it will kill your beard with no problem. It's an open comb and my daily shaver because it's soooo smooooth.
Nick from Nick shaves no longer shaves ?
FWIW, I had a difficult surgery towards the end of 2016, and was in the hospital and post-surgical rehab for a bunch of months. I ended up with a Santa Claus like beard, but my R41 with a new Feather blade took it off easily, like shearing a sheep. This would be a fine way to end No Shave November.
Glad to see you back, brother! I'd like to see you use some holiday stuff. :)
Wow been awhile nice to see a new video Nick.
Nick! Where have you been man!
omg, he's back!! 😄😄
Woah.. Nick Shaves going against the grain. That’s new. Definitely use the stallion gold dolla 300 for the beard shave off! P.S. make more videos we miss them!!!

Live to add this one to my collection.
Great to see a video from you again Nick. Been growing out a beard too for No Shave November (inspired by you) and doing a similar trimming. :)
When it comes time for the beard to come off how about a shavette like a Feather Artist Club?
Finally a new video! Great to see you back.
Any chance you could use Reuzel any time soon?
I would put this razors to some good use (If I'm lucky), I love your channel nick, Happy thanksgiving and Hanukkah :)
Beard looks good on you !
What do you do for a living, Nick?
+Jaden Hercules I am in my orthopedic surgery residency
My godfather just had his hip replaced, he's 74.
That's awesome!
Great to see another video from you Nick! Sure hope all is well. Hopefully we get another straight razor beard off video in a week or so :) Happy Thanksgiving!
Surprised you didn't use straight razor. Hit the top line on the mustache. A straight razor just so much better for clean lines. Thanks for your vids, keep up the good work. You've been missed.
Welcome back. When will you become an attending Doctor? No more resident?
-welcome. Great video. Thumbs up from me.
he's been going to the gym?
yeah but he seems to be skipping chest and abs lol
I'm in!
Check out the new stirling boar knots!
+Diener94 I’ve seen the one brush, and it looks amazing
I have the 830
😅😆how does he close eyes one by one like this?
The honeymoon is over it happens to everyone. Its just shaving!
Use the symmetry razor!!!
R41
Good shave 🪒 but you took to much off the top. When I shave I don’t shave the top only bottom. So they beard can look fuller. But all together nice shave man.
I want a straight razor and some soaps for the give away
Hope your husband likes it!
+redwhitentrue thanks for watching and posting!
He's married to a male?
I didn't know that, news to me. I swear i've heard him mention his "wife" in other videos. But whatever, doesn't matter to me, it's a free country. I just didn't get that....... vibe.
He's talked about his wife in other videos
Pretty sure it's a joke. Nick's mentioned his wife numerous times. No way its miscommunication.
Doesn’t feel like your heart is in this anymore Nick. That’s a shame because you’re easily my favourite RUclipsr. You did I think 10 videos this past year, less than one per month. I know you’re a surgeon and all so I can totally understand that you have other priorities in life, I’d just say maybe it’s time to knock this on the head if you can’t commit to it.
Tristan Marshall Nah, let him do what he wants man, sometimes things go on and off. Nick, make as many videos as you want.
Just be grateful he's still putting out videos. Nick does not have to "commit" to any of this, he's not a full time RUclipsr, and it's not like you're supporting him through Patreon or something...so back off

My point is that if life and his priorities are too much for him to be a RUclipsr at the same time then maybe it’s time to stop for a while.
I think this surgeon is able to think for himself.
Kavalan alright man no need to get so salty
