Your german pronounciation was very good. Understood everything very well. I didn't expect you to suddenly speak German and was pleasently surprised 👍👍.By the way, I'm a german guy and 60 years old. As always an excellent video.

Just bought this razor as my entry into the straight razor wet shaving world. 42 years to get there, but better late than never. I’ve used it once and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice to know you agreed and consider it a good purchase. Can’t wait to shave tonight with it. Thanks again for your reviews and keeping me and my teenage son entertained.

Cannot recommend this razor enough, I'm such a fan of the balance between efficiency and smoothness of shave. Always a pleasure to see another video

[DavidV]

I’m a razor snob but I must say this is a great razor. It’s basically a Muhle R89 head, the blades are exceptionally good as well! Great video!

I officially have no life.🤣
I spent almost 16 minutes watching a man shave a beard with a Safety Razor 🤣

I bought one of these razors and I find that it gives a very good shave. Blades are pretty good too. Good to see a Gillete safety razor available again in the local supermarket. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

The King C. Gillette razor was a good investment for me. I get some good, close shaves with it every time. Works with many blades I've tried(the matching blades, Gillette Silver Blue, 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge and the Feather blade).

The King C. Gillette razor is one of the many DE razors in my rotation. With years of experience (I am currently 73) with safety razors I can now get an excellent shave from pretty much any of the safety razors in my collection. It becomes a matter of technique more than anything. Each razor and each blade has its own personality. The key is learning the "feel" necessary to a great close shave without harm to the skin. Using high quality shaving soap or creme adds to a fine experience.

I have this razor and love it. I bought it at a Walgreens in Hawaii last year on a whim and it is one of my favorites. We got a guy in the office to start wet shaving and this was his first razor and he loves it too.

At 22 years old, short of 23 I finally went ahead and picked up this little bad boy from my local pharmacy and gave it a try, 3 passes(last was against the grain), and it’s so cool how much less irritation I have using this compared to using cartridges. It took a while tho, esp the third pass haha. I think the majority of the irritation I have rn is quz I prob got a bit greedy to make sure it gets baby smooth. But I’m proud of myself for figureing it out pretty damn well for my first try, since I’ve watched a lot of ur videos and others to prepare

I bought the King C. as my first DE safety razor and I just shaved with it for the first time. It was really easy and I got a much closer shave than I get with my Mach 3. I'm a convert! Now I'd like to try it with a more aggressive blade.

[armanilehmann]

Months back i told you that you should try it and that it’s really good. Glad you finally did. By the way, the head is German and made by Mühle.

My local super market in Norway is rebuilding so the whole store was 50% off! Copped this bad boy for $12 :) can’t wait to try it, great review!

[zaryarya]

Recently bought this as a beginner safety razor after seeing your review, actually works pretty great! Especially compared to the Gillette fusions I was using before this. Keep the videos coming brother!

[matthewsmith]

I picked one of these up for my nephew's 16th birthday, he was happy with it

[fritzkaraldo]

2:35 The great Dictaor incomming. That made me laugh for straight 5 minutes. Thank you for that.
Edit: I watched the full video, and I like your spirit. What a chill guy you must be.
Keep up the great videos.

[thedeaderer]

This was my first razor and I still go back to it all the time. I use feather blades and just go nice and gently

[PJP]

im a recent convert to DE shaving i really enjoyed this video - looking at various channels of shaving some of the kit can get quite expensive but there is lots of decent stuff out there reasonably priced - i bought this razor you featured for the equivalent to about 18 dollars i have wilkinson sword and arko soap and a badger brush that i bought in a chemist for 10Euro im really enjoying shaving again

[Snailman]

I bought this razor recently as my first DE razor from Walmart for $25, I really like it and I just got a sample pack of different brands of blades to try. The only 'issue' I have with the razor is your fingers can slide on the design on the handle, but if you keep your hands dry I found it's no issue (When I bought this razor it was $25 on Walmart online but $30 in store but you can ask them to price check with online to save) Edit: I forgot to mention that I dont do a full shave, I just line up my beard on the top and bottom. 👌🏼

I’m 41 years old this was my first straight RZR never going back thank you sir !
