3 Month's of SR shaving so I....

3 Month's of SR shaving so I thought a video would be a good idea.

prep: Shower
soap: Tabac
Razor: 7/8 Joseph Elliot's hollow
AF - Spieck

here we go.

You like bada** with that razor thanks for the video.

Great technique and 12 minutes for a 3 pass shave! I wouldn't have been able to tell you have only been going at it for 3 months. To be honest I was a little frightened for you seeing your hand shake prior to your first pass, but you have no problems at all. It's also really easy to see just how little pressure you are using. I have been using Kamisori almost exclusively since Christmas, but you have inspired me to break out my Joseph Rogers Wedge!!

Good video.

Thin Lizzy!



Well done, sir...you sound like you have quite the forest to cut down, too.

Thanks Kent: I too was a bit concerned with the shakes, this is not normal but was a bit camera shy LOL.
you could even here the brush clink on the bowl. That never happens either.
Do enjoy the straight may look at a 7/8 or 6/8 - 1/4 hollow for my next razor.

yes Vickers that is my daily growth.
I now look it at a plus because I can SR shave every day.

Great video! I picked up a couple of things that I'll try out. After two months it still takes me about 30 minutes to shave with a straight razor so under 12 minutes is very impressive. Thanks for sharing and awesome looking razor!

nice video... the end was a pleasant surprise... looks like a happy companion.

I didn't come back over here to see your mug. The music is nice, good picks.

The music makes the shave sound so dramatic...like in a Western movie.

What brush is that? I like the size and have been looking for something of that nature.

Good effort and well done! I'm in my second month and it's going a lot slower, but I'm building up confidence every day. Thanks for posting the video as it's always good to see someone elses technique. That really helps.

Thanks Aaron. Turning up the volume on the stereo when SWMBO is not home and have a relaxing shave is great indeed.

Thanks Rob. Glad you enjoyed the video. Watching videos helped be when I first started.

Thank you for posting the video, I have copied your technique of passing from ear to nose and back. This has helped my shave quite a bit.
