So that's what I've doing wrong all these years, I shave before I put on my shirt and tie!!

Kirby, in case you read the comments, thanks for what you do. As someone who grew up without a father, I was never taught things such as shaving, or dressing well as a gentleman. These are things I've had to learn myself, and watching your videos helps greatly. Not only do you explain things well, you also exemplify why these things are important. Thanks for the life lessons

Been shaving for 50 years and I can honestly say I never shaved with a tie on

[paulandsueroberts]

Well that’s a first, shaving while wearing a shirt and tie I’ve never seen that before!

[rickflippin]

I use a straight razor. But I’ll start using it with a tux now. James Bond shaving style. Thanks Kirby

[Rei]

One more note: wet shaving, along with shoe shining, taking care of ones clothes, enjoying a scotch and a fine cigar. All of these endeavors require time. A person's life / house must be in order to allow one the time to pursue and appreciate these gentlemanly endeavors. It's not about the priceless shoes or suits, but rather the pursuit of happiness. Cheers Kirby.

You also have to be in a pair of $5000 bespoke shoes and a Patek Philippe to properly execute a wet shave.

Only Kirby Allison could transform shaving into artistry. A new guilty pleasure.

I stopped shaving while wearing a tie and silk dressing gown back in August of 1914 — life in the trenches just wasn’t conducive that sort of thing. Somehow, I never came back to the habit after the War (I suppose that things were never again as civilized as during the Belle Époque of our youth). I had a surge of nostalgia after watching this; it put me in mind to return to my Edwardian morning routine! Why not? — life is short...

I love how slow these videos are. It's so much more relaxing to watch his content than these other channels like alpham and realmenrealstyle. I feel like Kirby Allison is a much nicer pace.

Kirby, I shave in the shower, do I still wear the robe and tie?

[blackknight]

I bought my first safety razor when I was nearing the end of high school, and I can now say several years later that it was easily one of the greatest hygiene decisions I have ever made.

Nice video, lots of good tips.

I can add a few to shorten the learning curve for anyone starting out, and I recommend wet shaving for everyone.

I have a heavy beard and moderately sensitive skin, so I have to be more careful than many people. Here are a few things that work for me :

- I try to shave after a shower. This softens the beard, moisturises the skin, and means you can skip the first step of wetting the beard, hot towels, etc.
- I rinse out the razor quite often, as the cut hair clogs to the razor and breaks contact between the blade and the skin.
- I prefer creams to hard soaps, i get just as good lather and it takes a lot less time than soaps to work the lather up
- I create the lather directly on my face, saves needing a bowl, and it works just as well, especially with a cream if you don't use soap.
- I really try to avoid going over any area more than once each pass, using short strokes it's tempting to go over the same place a few times with each pass, but if your really just use short strokes while moving on all the time you'll reduce the damage to your skin, chances of getting nicks, and irritation. Trust the blade and let your next pass do the work.
- Finally, really get to know your beard direction, and go sideways to it on your second pass. If this doesn't h^give you a close enough shave, use a third pass, but with a good blade you get incredibly close shaves just on two passes, if you get the direction right. Going upwards or against the grain is really hard on your skin, you should be absolutely sure you need, to, have fresh cream on your face ti do it, and use zero pressure.

Good luck and have fun, nothing beats a wet shave with a safety razor or a straight razor!

BTW I use Feather blades, but with a feather razor. The combination works great, but i wouldn't use Feather blades in a more aggressive razor as I'd probably slice my face to ribbons. The Feather razor makes it hard t nick yourself, but you have ti get the shaving angle exactly right for it to cut. It's a great way to use a crazy sharp blade with reduced risk. The Feather razor is crazy expensive but like anything else, it is worth the extra coin if the quality is there and it lasts forever. They are based on the old Gilette classic models, but with better balance and tolerances.

Shaving while wearing a tie is totally amazing!!!! Your dressing gown is beautiful. You are a master. You are a total gentleman!!!!

For those thinking of getting into wet shaving, might I recommend a synthetic bristle brush as opposed to badger, boar, etc. Natural animal hair brushes tend to smell like wet animal for the first few weeks of use depending on frequency. Synthetic bristles hold water just as well as a good quality badger hair brush and tend to be cheaper without sacrificing quality. Also, most animal hair brushes aren’t the most ethically sourced if you care about that (badger especially where the animal is often killed for the pelt).

Or don’t it’s really your choice. Thanks for introducing more people to the world of wet shaving!

You inspired me to find my old safety razor and start using it again. I couldn't agree with you more, the experience was a treat and the shave lasts 2 days rather than 12hrs like with my 5 cartridge razor.

[mesfromusa]

I've shaved in the shower for years - lots of hot water and my face is already soaking wet and soft. Plus I'm totally cleaned up when I'm done. And no watery mess on the vanity counter.

[TheRanchNetwork]

Just switched to a safety razor and won't ever go back to the multi blades! Never thought I'd use the same type of instrument to shave, that my Grandfather used back in the day. Excellent video, Kirby!

[gutinnec]

A good shaving foam is a perfect blend of water and shaving soap. It is an emulsion between the two.
In the video the lather is weak, it does not protect well and it shows later you have blood spots.

The shaving soaps have voluntarily too much fat to help the razor glide and moisturize the skin against the aggression of the blade.

Shaking the razor in a bowl of water is enough to clean it, no need to waste thousands of liters of water to rinse the razor.

Words of a man who shaves in 3 passes 7 days a week.

[juanjosefermin]

I completely agree. I switched to single blade and will never go back. Great tip about the neck area!
