I'm 16 years old, and I just recently ordered a straight razor, hopefully my dad doesn't become despondent over this because I love the idea of just improving on my shave quality without using crappy disposable razors. And the learning curve makes it a fun skill to flex, but also I think it looks cool! And yes, I grow a decent amount of facial hair; lately the density has increased...

Nice video. It's worth mentioning ( someone may have already) that you can buy the half blades too.

[magnoliamike]

I always like to check to make sure it is level

[NIKEL]

Thank you for this because I’m 24 and 😂I didn’t shave before and I knew I was doing it wrong but I was like how are people cutting the blade to make it fit the razor tool now I know before I take out the blade from the packet to fold the blade to snap it first thank you for this 😂

[sumitrabanerjee]

Do you have experience with cut throat razors?
If yes, pls make a video on how to sharpen them

[gummibear]

are straight razors better with a blade that needs to be replaced or a blade that is integrated in the handle

[dcmarvelunited]

How often should you change the blade? Only using it on yourself.

My problem is always that when I put the razor onto the bottom part, it wants to stick to my finger, and doesn’t stay where I put it. And then when I move the top part over, it’s hard to get it in place without moving the razor

[siamaklighvani]

You can snap also the both ends and throw it out

[Dominicreviews]

What's with all the trolls on your page? Sheesh

I put the whole blade and it looked very strange. I thought my straight razor isn't designed correctly. I shaved with it anyway. Next time I will put half of the blade.

[sausagevato]

Bruh I literally put the whole damn blade in🤦🏽‍♂️

[vincentlee]

Legit curiosity. Has anyone used those dorco blades and enjoyed it? I tried a few shaves and they were memorable in a bad way.

Razor keeps moving when closing it for me

[johnhudelson]

This is a shavette, not a traditional straight razor. It would be more accurate to use the term "shavette" instead.

[rizzmohamad]

I wanna say slightly razor is the best for barber 👍

[daniellesmith]

Why not just buy the half blades? Just wondering?

[jamessepulveda]

Carry one of these as a pocket knife for protection. Its the way my uncles carried it in the phillipines

[timrounse]

That’s not a straight blade btw. That’s a straight razor with a disposable blade. Different than a straight blade or a straight razor. This is not a real straight blade tho.

[ModernGunCraft]

Why are people so bent out of shape over a razor??
