What I would buy if I started straight razor shaving today (after 7 years)

Awesome advice! You make a valid point about shaving soap/cream with expirations. I was starting down the rabbit hole but as much as I would like to buy, I have to just be happy with what I have!

Another good straight razor beginner advice video Johan! Have a good one! Steve

Honestly...I have many straight razors and many DE Razors...BUT...If I had to buy only one straight razor experience it would be the Feather Artist Club Shavette...( of which I have several models...LOL). Nothing is sharper than machine sharpened blades and it's essentially the same experience as shaving with a true straight razor BUT you need to be much more careful (skillful) shaving with a Feather Shavette as they are much less forgiving. Cheers from Canada!!!

Very very nice recommendations. Thanks.

Bravo Giovanni! Great video as always.

Great video and advice, Johan! Good to see you, my friend 🙌🏼👊🏼

What wise words, Johan!👏....I'm struggling with the term "nerd" 🤓 😅 straight razor shaving is far too bloody for nerds ! What a comprehensive talk! Your a paragon of knowledge and ability. And all you said is true 👍.

Few days ago, I got my first straight razor. It’s a C.V. Heljestrand MK No4. The razor arrived in perfect condition and truly shave ready.

Nice instructional video.😎

Some really good advice there.

nice video !!! have a nice day

Question: from your experience, are the thinner ground razors (full hollow) or the heftier ones (half hollow, wedge) which the most comfortable?

Started out a few years ago on Boker Classic Spanish tip and Omega 48 (pig). BTW I couldn't avoid some degree of "soap craze" but managed to keep it to the most "popular" ones, like Proraso and Cella from Italy, Tabac from Deutschland, Monsavon au Lait from France, Arko stick from Turkey, Vergulde Hand from De Nederlanden and so on.... I'm afraid I'd need three maybe four faces at this point to run out of soap before I die, specially considering the fact I usually let my beard grow free every year march to august/september.

Hello @shave&butcher what is the brand of the black strop ? Where Can i buy it ?

Buy a straight razor...save some money....10 brushes 10 soaps 4 creams...4 stones, roll of tape..all i need now is the stone holder..oh and a bath for my stones😂. Ill have the bankloan paid of in 5 years.😂😅..hopfully my hands will stay steady for another 30 years.

It blows me away how great your English is. Is that normal in Sweden? Btw great video. Been fascinated with straights for years- but all they require scares me right back to my double edge lol. Seems like a steep learning curve 🪒
