A shaving brush can make a huge difference in the quality of your shave. Unfortunately selecting and using a shaving brush can be a little confusing to the uninitiated.

By: AXLEGREASEframeset. on 17 Apr 12, 21:19:08
What @Mantic59 said. I started with the 3 blade Gillette green shaving device thing with replaceable cartridges. After suffering the electric shaver and then going back to the 3 blade and getting razor burn? constantly, I finally went down to a 1 blade BIC. Much better. The 4 or 5 blade razor should have had a "rips your face off guarantee" on it. Most painful shave in the world. When your whiskers start getting thicker, I'd recommend the safety razor. It busts beards without a problem.

The Muhle R41 Razor
Posted by: mantic59

Video duration: 210 seconds

see my blog at http://sharpologist. com/2012/03/r41.html
The Muhle R41 razor is one of the latest in a series of recent engineering design changes going on through the double-edged safety razor world. It sports an unusual razor head, a hybrid of the classic open-comb razor and the more recent scalloped safety bar design.

Now with astras it's my everyday shaver, midium agresive(I must shave everyday becose of my work and have a heavy beard).

I've always had irritation? on my ATG pass when using only the HD. I've been developing my technique for a long time and feel that I can finally achieve a far superior shave than I would with a mach 3, by using the R41, and a Safety Bar like an HD or DE89. I might go for the Ikon SK9 on my next purchase.

Hey mantic! Firstly, thank you for inspiring me to take the safety razor plunge! The first week has been exciting and? rewarding. I'm still getting used to it though and experimenting with what works and doesn't. Secondly, I have a question: do you dry your razor after every use? I read that water will dull the razor blade. Some people dip in alcohol to speed the drying process. Your thoughts? Thanks for doing what you do!

By: zanuha. on 28 Nov 11, 15:17:07
Believe me, you'll thank yourself for getting a Merkur or some other quality razor right away. Cheap razors are pretty much a waste of time and money. Besides, some Merkurs can be had for 30 bucks or less and will last a lifetime. If you get an adjustable, it'll probably be the last razor you'll ever need. Anyway, if you wanna be stubborn, I'd go with a Parker. It's a somewhat? trusted brand.

By: dkh3green. on 31 Jan 12, 23:08:48
Sir, I hear a lot of good may come from storing your razor and or blades in the freezer between uses. This can greatly slow the oxidation process. I haven't really tried this much. I use a schick injector and store it in a glass? of mineral oil between uses in Bathroom cupboard. This seems to extend the life of the blade. I have also heard something as simple as don't store your razor in the Humid bathroom at all can help a lot.

By: sgallant04. on 19 Jan 12, 00:09:17
strange, perhaps it also depends on the plastics used in the handle. As the mineral oil substantially deteriorated the plastic bits and such on my proglide handle.

By: garfles1. on 18 Jan 12, 22:37:59
I use mineral oil and it may indeed cause some? deterioration. Even if it does, it's far less than any that the air causes. I'm using mineral oil for storage and jeans for stropping and my current cartridge is going on 2 years of use so any deterioration is quite minimal.

I've tried keeping my Proglide razor submerged in food grade mineral oil. While I don't mind quickly washing off the oil prior to shaving It seems to me that the mineral oil being a petrol product mildly deteriorates the rubber parts of the shave cartridge but it's hard to prove. Rubbing alcohol seems to do the same thing. I'm wondering if Mark's idea of olive oil is? a better idea. Currently i'm testing a product called "Clippercide" a 4 in 1 aerosol spray w/ a cleaner, disinfectant & lube oil.

Hey Mantic, Just wondering how much lather you end up with in the breach after face lathering like this? I'm basically doing the same thing, with probably even thicker lather, but it only lasts 2 passes or so, and I need a small recharge for a third. I've got a dense silvertip brush. The breach isn't dry, but its not bursting with lather either. That? said, if I squeeze the brush at the end, I get quite a nice amount of thick, emollient lather. Love the vids! Thanks.

The little bowl is actually kind of handy, and I liked the smell of the soap--I'm not a huge? fan of overly fragranced shaving creams--I like the subtle stuff. I got a good deal on a Merkur, and have

Most users of DE blades don't track which side is used, and then switch sides when it is blunt. Most people shave until one side of the razor is full of lather, and flip the razor over to the other side, or they shave, rinse, and then? flip the razor. Either way both edges get an equal amount of use. Also flipping the blade in the razor accomplishes nothing as each side only has one cutting edge.

At first I did not like this soap, because it was not loading on my brush properly. Wetting the soap prior to loading the brush seems to help soften up the soap surface. I have used this with simpsons chubby 2 in best badger, and simpsons wee scott. Both brushes work? good. Simpsons chubby gives more than ample cream. Wee scott is just shy for 3 passes with me.

This is the best tip to avoid irritation & bumps right here - use? an old toothbrush after you shave & very gently brush the areas that you shaved in the direction that you shaved them. This helps the hair to grow straight out of the skin instead of letting the hair curl back & grow into the skin which is what causes shaving irritation & razor bumps.

I use a normal, regular bar of soap, face scrub from time to time and it works great. But my skin is rather oily, I must add. What does not work for me is soap like 'Dove', where they claim that it 'creams' or remoistens the skin. I wash my face really thouroughly before the shave and I use a hot towel for several minutes, maybe that's why I never had any problems. After shaving I rinse? really well with cold water. I never witnessed any problems with this routine.

As far as the tools transitioning to women's needs, my barber actually suggested I practice straight-razor shaving on my girlfriend's legs (WITH her permission,? of course) when I was considering using one for daily shaving. While I ended up with a DE razor, I think the principle is still the same - leg shaving may be easier than face shaving. Manscaping and female-scaping would be much the same.

I've only tried Red Pack Israeli Personnas so far, with multiple razors ('48-49 Super Speed, '64 Super Speed, and Merkur Vision) and I have to say, I do love the Vision. The only thing I hate is that the adjustment can easily be knocked in use (and I have to close it up all the way, being that my technique isn't great yet, so even a little bit is noticeable). Can't wait for the Derby's..

By: lordkappa. on 27 Jul 10, 08:09:16

By: waynerjson. on 13 Feb 12, 09:39:06
This is the razor I began my DE journey with...paired with a feather blade. For sensitive skin I recommend a milder blade, I use a Gillette? 7 o'clock. With this blade, my Slant becomes easier to use than my Mergress...and is twice as effective, with no irratation. The Slant cleans me down to bare skin slickness..I can rub a cotton pad AGAINST the grain of my beard, and feel nothing. The Slant is an unforgiving mistress however, you must use good technique.

I assume this is the best DE razor on the market. It would be fun to buy a whole bunch of DE razors, but I'm poor and I figure if rich and middle class people have already done that and some of them have posted comments with 5 stars on west coast shaving, 10 5? star ratings, then I might as well save my money and just buy the one they say is the best. The other one with such strong reviews I saw was the Edwin Jagger, but that was rated highly for it's beautiful chrome finish, not for it's shave.

Agreed about anyone ...
By: DavidPx. on 26 Sep 10, 13:35:50
Agreed about anyone using a slant. They're more "aggressive" on your whiskers, not your skin. The amount of blade exposure is about the same compared to a standard straight bar. I need much less touch-up work with my slant compared to my straight bar (11C) because of how much better it cuts. Also, the? slant lets me go ATG on my neck because it cuts rather than lifts & tugs on my sharply-angled neck hair.

By: HerbalAbuse. on 25 Aug 10, 16:33:37
I would recommend a slant to anyone, as long as you use no pressure and don't treat it like a Fusion you should be fine, but I suppose there are always people who it won't agree with. I am not extremely experienced with DE shaving, but went for the slant as I feel my technique is good. You are definately? right about it being quick to bite you, I had no nicks or cuts at all on my first shave with this today but on my neck I came close it is a lot more viscious lol

By: HerbalAbuse. on 25 Aug 10, 16:29:54
Well I got my 39c today and it's amazing, closest and smoothest shave of my life. I do have very sensitive skin and thick growth, if anything I'd say although it's aggressive because of the angle of the blade, it IS suitable for sensitive skin as I had to use no pressure at all. Usually a standard DE setup would be scratchy in certain areas of my neck causing irritation, I got a lot less irritation (actually zero) with the 39c it cuts through anything with ease- can? hardly even feel it

I use the original ...
By: mantic59. on 23 Aug 10, 19:31:51

i do 3-4 passes. one with the grain on the face and neck, second across the face and upwards on the neck, third against the grain on the face and neck, and a final fourth on missed spots. train your skin to get used to going against the grain eventually it will become? easy, it is the only way for me to get a baby smooth shave. use an exfoliating scrub before hand and rub a warm cloth on your face to ease up the hair. if you want try shaving in the steam room or after coming out.

I had this same thing with a DE. Fairly sensitive skin and against the grain gave me blood and with gave me a porcupine feel. I experimented with different kinds of cream and it helped a? lot. Always use a hot cloth or shave fresh out of the shower. Consider using a shaving oil, this way your skin is slippery as hell and it will bleed far less, at least in my case. The one thing that guarantees me a close shave is an open razor, but that takes a lot longer than a DE.

By: rrg019000. on 30 Jun 11, 18:08:14
Love your videos! I do three passes, 1) Down. 2) Up 3) From ear to middle of face Then I feel around my face and find rough spots, lather the rough spots one more time and go lightly over the rough spots against the grain. It's? been working pretty good. The key is always to keep "reduction" in mind. You're goal is never to get a baby smooth shave, but you WILL get a baby smooth shave if you just keep reduction in mind.

I'm afraid a lot of it is learning what your skin can--and cannot--handle. ? You might consider experimenting on which angles that may be *almost* across the grain would give you hair reduction without the twists and turns: that's the beauty of a DE razor--while you may have to understand the hair's grain, you don't have to be a slave to it. Try shaving straight down, twice (relathering before the 2nd time), regardless of grain.

By: MagicActor1987. on 22 Mar 11, 09:15:33
Mantic, I have extremely sensitive skin and fairly coarse hair. I shave to take care of just the small stubble. But even so, I find that when I go with the grain (DE safety razor), it takes me around 8 passes? before I give up and switch to my Gillette Fusion. If I go against the grain lightly, even once, my face is a bloody mess. Going across the grain is hard due to varying hair growth directions. So with a DE, even after reducing with an electric, I can't get rid of simple stubble. Advice?

Yo, Mantic I just got a Jaguar 1071 brush and man is it huge! but after the first wetting the strong stink exuding from it is disgusting, I think it must? be horse hair because it doesn't look like my other boar brush. very barn yardish if you know what I mean. I saw your brush cleaning vids and is borax the strongest thing to use? Because right now it stinks so bad that I would have to hold my breath to use it! HELP!

By: Me7roiD. on 15 Jul 10, 22:27:26
Lookin good indeed, glad to see you posting fresh videos :) I was wondering - I own a synthetic brush by L'Occitane and I'm afraid? it's not the smoothest of shaves. With my skin being a bit on the sensitive side when I haven't had enough sleep, I find that I'm definitely in need of a new brush, even though the L'Occitane does perfect with longer beard. What I'd really like to know is whether all synthethics generally share the same qualities as the one I own, or should I just try another make?
