    I don't believe that's a problem, what about towels that was rather common to use before? I soak the sponge in as hot water as possible when I shower, and rinse it well under running water at the same temperature after shaving, and replace it every few weeks.

    And I rinse the razor under hot running water between passes and after shaving.

    I think he stuck that razor about 1/4" up his nose!

    Hmmm, yes. I am just jealous of the amount of heavy duty steel this guy has at his disposal.


    Oh, I got myself a sponge after seeing the 2nd video 3 weeks ago on YouTube, I can’t be that careful when I wipe the suds and whiskers away therefore the sponge is looking a little worse for wear and I had pieces of sponge debris around the bathroom so I am now just rinsing the blade in water..

    Interesting. I should try to stretch my skin more often. I usually forget LOL.

    Also I found his blade angle a bit steep? or am I just seeing things.

    Here's an even better one for inspiration, this guy have shaved straight for 30 years and it sure shows!

    After seeing the 2nd video again I can’t help notice this guy appears to have soft youthful skin for his age, maybe that is the result of years of straight razor shaving. My face and bone structure however resembles something like craters of the moon and tight defined jaw and chin angles and my skin actually hugs the jaw bone and concaves in just under it making getting around the jaw somewhat difficult even though I try to stretch the skin up and over my jaw. Maybe I am yet again trying to justify my poor beginner’s straight shaves.

    Not sure what it is about the video, but the images sure stick in your mind unlike those in others I've watched. It's got to be his confidence and speed. And I like the audio silence--no need to juice this one up with hip-hop.

    It's very subtle but if you watch carefully all of his strokes are the guillotine style. Which I am trying to learn, albeit, bloodily!
