Japanese Feather Razor Destroys 6 Month Beard - YouTube

I'll always go back to an old member here at SRP I'm told.

It was this video that sparked my interest in straight shaving...at first I thought he was going to shave with the big knife hanging on the wall. This is an example, IMO, of how it's done, clean and simple.

He's good to go! I wonder how many brushes he's burned up with hot water? I love the sound of the razor.

i used to have a beard like that. when i shaved it off, i found the trick was to just whip up a ton of lather in a bowl and spend some time saturating my beard with the lather. after that, i was able to just sail through it with my wade and butcher wedge. that was a fun shave.

At about 1:37, I thought he was going to get a nick at the top of his cheek for sure.
