I just bought a safety razor and I've NEVER had such a good feeling, no-red-face, smooth shave. And that's thanks to this video!

[Leorgo]

thank you for this nice short tutorial. other tutorials are way too long like 14 min.. I don't have that mich time to sit and watch another man shave.

I just used one for the first time having used disposables for my whole life. OUCH, I got the worst razor burn I've ever had.
Looks like I've got a ways to go before I master the classic razor.

UPDATE: I've been using these for about 2 months now and it's 100% better than disposables no doubt. I love it.

First time using a safety razor after only using electric razors and this video helped me so much. Had no ingrown hairs irritation or bumps and had the closest shave I’ve ever had.

off topic, but just look at his ridiculously beautiful this man is. damn.

Safety razors are the best. Since getting my first one in my early 20s I'm mode definitely a convert. Better shave, better for the environment, better on the wallet. Win, win!

Just bought a safety razor for the first time. Started off okay until I got to my dreaded neck area and ended up with loads of razor burn and small cuts. The guys in these videos make it look so easy, but I'm gonna keep trying as this was only my first attempt. Hopefully this video will help. Thanks! 30 years old in May and still I haven't mastered the art of shaving. 😂

I'm glad this video was here. My first shave was safe and clean. Thanks!

A video with this much information in less than 3 minutes! Bravo. Worth noting, your blades will last longer with the short strokes directed at the base of the hair, not dragging over the top of it which makes for a lot of cutting and re-cutting. Feather brand razor blades are high quality and very sharp, great for coarse and or thick hair. Just be careful around bumps and angles till it’s a little dulled from use. I get about 4-5 shaves from one blade.

Dude shaves and has a 5 o'clock shadow.

I keep it much more simple with great results. I soak my face and head first with a facecloth then apply Tea Tree conditioner and shave. No rash, no burn and no bumps. I will never use shaving creams or gels again. The Tea Tree ingredient works great at soothing and helping the skin.

If you're like me and have sensitive skin I recommend a cold cloth or rubbing ice cubes on your face beforehand. I actually find the cold tends to lead to a better shave and no razorburn.

A great to-the-point tutorial, just did my first shave with this style of razor today and nicked my neck quite a bit, but practice makes perfect i suppose, just have to be more careful! thanks very much for the video!

[AussieAF]

Cheers. I started slow, but learnt quickly I could speed up abit and ended up with a great shave and no cuts. First time is done, now on with practice makes prefect

So, I just bought one today because the old guy at the store told me to give it a try. Best $25 I ever spent and the refills for it are only $3 for a pack of 50. Closet shave I have ever got by my own hand.

Shaving with Safety razor takes atleast two passes for a smooth shave, first with the grain and second across the grain. Also, such shaving is best done right after bath as facial hair is a lot smoother that time.

[JayPluss]

I failed math. How do I measure a 30 degree angle?

[everythingthrice]

I switched to a safety razor from a disposable razor and it changed my whole routine. No more quick scrapes across the face in the morning, but a nice experience shaving the night before for a better overall shave that would last longer too
