Welcome to Your Wonderful Wednesday Shave Of The Day! Hey Eric here with
Adventures In Wet Shaving and welcome back it's good to see you in this shave we're
doing a budget shave yep so I am going to start off showing you
my ZY 430 this is a fantastic budget razor it is full hollow excellent shaver
made in China but will hold a nice edge and then I'm also going to be showing
you this Gold Dollar and this is the 66 so again a budget razor now any camp you
want to go in during the Gold Dollar camp this is a fine razor and again it
is full hollow in will hold an edge yeah so that's good now if your first out of
the gate and you're just beginning this what I would do I would go ahead and go
with the ZY 430 it has gotten better hit and finish in I think will be easier to
learn on although both razors will be good and we're going to use them both
tonight in the shave as well now if you want to get started on the cheap right
here okay this is a Van der Hagen and this is a Premium Shave Ste comes with
a Premium Boar Brush, a Bowl and Soap so you get all three in one box in it's
cheap it really is you get this right off
Amazon or in your local store for that matter I've got them on sale for as low
as like $8 bucks USD okay for all three items now you get the Premium Ceramic
Shaving Bowl which is very nice and there is a nice puck soap in there now
the scent on this is a maybe brilliant but it's clean it's
fresh and you know it it works it works really good because it is a fine soap
now I just I've had that blooming and I'm putting that on as a pre-shave now if
you were so inclined you could go with a real pre-shave all right there there are
pre-shave creams out there that you could use now what I'm going to do
tonight is I'm using my Connecticut quarter is a twenty two millimeter
Maggard synthetic knot that I put in this handle myself
and I'm going to get that wet now if you use the boar knot that comes with the
Van der Hagen set you will have to soak that because it's natural hair this did
not have to be soaking because it's not natural
alright so now we're going to just get that brush loaded up and get the shave
going yeah so how are you doing alright we made it to the midweek shave
yeah alright hunt day that is so good so and tomorrow is Thanksgiving I hope you
have a fantastic time I hope you can be with family and friends and really enjoy
yourself I do so you know just be safe when you're doing it okay
I would appreciate that I want you to come back all right I did I want to see
you here now I've got that's going pretty well
alright so now I'm just going to reach in there and I'm going to get out just a
massive load of soap and we're gonna put again most of that on that brush just
like that okay that in that beautiful yeah then I'm going to take the rest of
that and put it on now I like making it nice and pasty to start with
because you can always add water alright and seriously this this soap is cheap
okay especially this and there's no reason to be too skimpy on it alright
now if you haven't really expensive so do whatever you have to do okay but this
is a budget change so this soap didn't cost me an arm and a leg you know I
didn't you know this was cheap stuff I'm pretty sure it will give you just as
good a shape as anything else alright so here we go in a beautiful oh man that is
nice so now from time to time I will be checking the viewfinder here to see if
I'm going to focus so don't let that disturb you alright still working on
that part of it alright so hopefully you are well and healthy in you know having
a good day in matter of fact hopefully you're in high spirits yeah that is so
good you know being able to you know get out there work do what you have to do
and then enjoy a good shave or maybe you enjoy good shape and then
do everything yeah now for me and I shave in the evening in reason why I do
that I find I have more time and I could use the time to get a better shave I
could so you know because you can take your time you can slow down it is nicer
alright look at that in a beautiful in fantastic so really if you have to you
know the only thing you can maybe complain about a little bit would be the
scent but for me I it's just clean and fresh and I don't find it offensive at
all and this is a fan nasty way to start because if you don't
know how to straight razor shave or even wet shape for that matter you can start
off wet shaving like this and it's it'll be on the cheek and you find out if you
like it
and that's what I did I this is basically the set up you know I was I
was on that zy razor and and the Vander Hagen pretty insane set yeah and I was
using the board brush and I still use it from time to time as a matter of fact so
now this is past one which is for me primarily with the grain we're going to
start off with the zy 430 and use that for this pass nice yeah like I say these
hold the edge really well
Gary nice quiet
there we go get that blade cleaned off yeah
there we go nice yeah yeah this is really a good way to start shaping okay
because in the beginning if you're in like I was I didn't know if I really
wanted to do this so I didn't want to pay two hundred two for razor all right
I didn't want to pay big bucks for soap and a brush and all of that
am i found out you don't have to
all right nice now get that blade cleaned off again
oh that's when I forgot all right so if you're new around here give me a hashtag
new down in the comments I really would appreciate it that way I can welcome you
into this community and you know just if you have any questions or comments just
go ahead and put that in there as well it is good to see you here I really
appreciate you and now for everybody that's been around for quite some time I
appreciate you guys - I'm telling you the adventures in wet shaving community
is fantastic so we can answer any kind of questions you have just like I say
put them in the comments all right that would be brilliant
and by the way down in the description of this video I have got the time of
links there for you for straight razor shaving and for
honing as well so you can check that out all right so let's finish this off and
every day we'll talk a little more yeah so now we got that go on let's get that
cleaned off see how we did it yeah right and now I have been traveling a little
bit so you're gonna notice right here there's a little spot all right I got
that in the last shape when I was traveling I brought my shavette and kind
of got a little too close with that and it's early but there but again it's
really no big deal so you know don't worry too much with
that either you know if those kind of things happen
but you know it's just a matter of learning some good technique and I just
was getting a little close with that shavette because those blades are
machine sharp which differs from a straight razor which is honed to shave
ready and you know sometimes I like I have to tell you I like the whole razor
is better and I like the natural stones the best as far as putting on a finish
our blade makes it so much more comfortable
and now you know when you're looking at getting into straight razor shave me you
know you're not going to be honing and everything right from the beginning so
you will either need to buy a shave ready razor or nice to lay a home for
you yeah all right so that's always an option and even if it's the shape ready
it may or may not be all right so your mileage may vary on that one as well so
now I'm just going to keep working this and and get the right consistency that
I'm looking for
all right that's it right there that feels good think so
now I do Street razor-edge Friday specials on the first and third Friday
of every month so stop going by and check that out yeah they're really good
all right you click on this one to see the best
beginner how to shave video you've ever seen all right now we're gonna go with
the gold dollar this time all right and now for me my second pass is primarily
going to be against the grain so let's do this
now right now I'll switch ants get this side
very nice
here we go and a ride feeling good yes it is
yeah the really the difference between these two razors I believe that the zy
has better fit and feel to it as far as the build quality over the gold dollar
but you know they both have good qualities about them and keep in mind
both these razors are between like six or seven bucks now eight bucks 60 bucks
okay that's what I paid for
so that will give you an idea what you can do with a razor you know it's one of
those things where yes I had to hold at that price and you're gonna get in at
probably 30 to 40 bucks okay with the same kind of razor at a shave ready
state but that beats 200 or more on a straight razor if you don't know if you
like it or not
and end up liking it didn't buy more
here we go looking good
here we go pass to complete very good yes it is now let's get that rest off
see how we did oh yeah those cheeks are good right where they are
yeah yeah we'll do a little more work on that jawline that neck and we're good to
go yep all right oh if you haven't seen half past four be able to go ahead and
click on this card that'll show this in more detail because this is the half
pass yes it is I have found I don't need a full three pass shape so give me two
and a half passes and I'm good to go yes sir it is a fine thing and in all
reality if you are having problems with irritation and stuff like that the less
you have to run that blade over your face better you're going to be with less
irritation yes so keep that in mind as well now here we go
those hands dry oh yeah we're going to switch back to this wonderful zy 430
which again cheap cheap cheap cheap but holds an edge
nice oh yeah yeah I hope you're getting this good a shape Society
I do truly find street racers are much more forgiving than shape ads I do
there we go no oh yeah now finish this off
there we go now that shave in the books and technically I did not hit a bomb I
really didn't so there were no bombs harmed in this
show now I did hit that area there in the last year but I don't even think we
really opened it up or anything too badly oh nice
that's good all right now we're going a loom everywhere yes we are just like
that and dry that off mm-hmm that is in a septic and
astringent which it's just a wonderful thing it really is taking care of the
skin next up we are using Faiers and this is the lavender this is just
marvelous now I would say use something like this for aftershave because again
it's great for the skin you know that witch hazel does fine job on the skin
and I put it everywhere I do mm-hmm yeah it really helps with redness
and things like that as well then I pop off my shave with Nivea poche
oh yeah now if you can take a bomb go for it because that is even better for
the skin then that will even help more kind of bear not really more okay that's
a misnomer if everything works in concert okay so each step has a purpose
has reason and this is putting moisture back
in your skin so that's good yes it is you can click on this card to see my how
to start straight razor shaving series I think it will be very helpful for you if
