Finally. A video that isn't 20 minutes long and just gets straight to shaving. Not an all in one "buy this do this do that". Just shaving.

"Besides, putting razor-sharp steel next to your throat every morning makes you feel like you're alive."
And...subbed.

Real men learn to shave with a smooth rock in a stream in the dead of winter.

"Putting a sharp razor steel against your throat every morning reminds you that you are alive"

Thanks for the tutorial. I am almost 31 years old and I shaved myself with straight razor first time. I was doubtful to do it but if you worry about everything you won't achieve anything in life. No single cut happened while shaving. My skin is extremely smooth and looks beautiful now. No razor bumps. Also I got lot of compliments. If you careful enough it's impossible to cut yourself. Thanks for everything.

Just bought my first straight razor from Art of Shaving and finished scraping off my beard. It is definitely NOT as easy as this video or Skyfall makes it look! It's definitely an art and the razor demands respect and careful attention! But I can definitely see and feel the quality of this shave. I'm fully converted! Practice, practice, practice!

I'm not even a man, and I found this video highly entertaining.

I absolutely love this! We were telling our kids about shaving with a straight razor. They never heard of it before. So this was apart of homeschool today 😂

This video actually got me started with a STRAIGHT RAZOR 6 years ago. I've got my bumps and bruises (cuts...lol) along the way but I've gotten the shave down to a science. It's the only way I shave nowadays, and I've never used any Gillette Style disposable shaver ever since. "Once you go Straight Razor, you never go back."

The first rule of shaving is to avoid all Gillette products

“Putting razor sharp steel next to your throat every morning reminds you that you’re alive”
Best quote ever

Now that you've started the day and gone through the process of shaving with your straight razor, it's time to get ready for bed.

This is one of the best instructionals I’ve ever seen. No fluff. Straight to the point. Give this man a raise.

I started with Double Edge Safety Razors.  I took a liking to it instantly.  After a year I was drawn to try Straight Razors.  While visiting Slazlburg Austria I passed a shop with a number of Straight Razors displayed in the store front window.  They were beautiful.  Ended up buying a Dovo Prima Klan and mailed it home.  Allow 30-45 minutes to shave.  After about 10 shaves you'll start getting the hang of it and improve in your skills.  Take your time;  It's an art so enjoy it!  Well worth it just for the experience..

I changed to a straight razor a month ago or so and its the best thing i ever did. I have a beard so all I do is edge and shape it so the straight razor was best investment ever. Sharp sharp lines and its incredibly fulfilling to shave in such a manly fashion. A lot easier than you first think but only if you're careful and take time learning it as you start using it.

Just completed my first ever straight razor shave. Although I only did 1 with-the-grain pass, it was one of the best shaves I've ever had.

Not only did I get almost no razor burn (so little I almost went without aftershave), I actually felt really comfortable and relaxed, despite the fact I was scraping a potential murder weapon across my face.

Also, I can't help but feel like a complete badass knowing I just shaved with, as Bill puts it, something that looks like a torture device.
