I'd have to say this is the best straight razor shaving video I've seen. Maybe others will appreciate it as well.
Best Straight Razor Shaving Video I've Seen...
- Thread starter seattleshaver
- Start date
In all the years of watching these shaving videos, this was the first where the guy starts under his nose vs. at a sideburn.
I always wondered how to use one of these scuttles.

That guy has done some extensive face mapping. Very good video!
@seattleshaver that is a good video for sure.
This is my current favorite:
The manliest straight razor shave I have ever seen

1st time linking on the new B&B. (Was never great at it before.). Hopefully one of the above work. It is a nice straight shaving video with decent background music initially linked by @Prof.Moriarty a while back. Otherwise can search for the above title and hopefully find it..

Is that the one with the smoking and a swig of booze at the end?
Yes it is
The guy in the first video is a straight razor virtuoso!!! I needed to see this video!!! Thanks for posting this @seattleshaver I had been trying to figure out new angles to conquer my neck & this guy has given me much to practice!!!

Yeah, it's interesting to watch him. I'm not sure I can make all of those Dizzy Gillespie puffing lips moves work for me but I'll try.
Some people just have less angular faces than others.
Interdasting.
+1 to this video!! This video created the seed of interest in straight razor shaving. Thank god for it too.
Why's he drinking the VIBR?
Really had my toes all scrunched up!!!
Watching that was performance art. Very nice.
Great vid. Thx for sharing it. Picked up some pointers and subscribed that sucker so I can go back for the pointers (bad memory).
Interesting no comments on location. 100% he is in Europe. We lived there couple years, my wife is Austrian. They tile their bathrooms from floor to ceiling, no kidding. If you see tiled walls....it is very likely in Europe somewhere. Oh just got far enough in to see he is in an upper floor level as well. There is no such thing as under-roof wasted space like in the U.S. - there was always a fully furnished floor or well appointed insulated storage attic space under the roof. Now I will keep watching for the actual shave!
Dang - he rocked it! Nice full grind on what looks like a 6/8. Love the sounds of the breeze and bird chirps coming through an open window, like music with the singing of the blade....they don't use A/C in Europe either! I am not kidding, in a home never. At a business sometimes....hope I get that good one day. Nice. Thanks for sharing!
+1 for the first video.
You can tell he has not been watching YouTube SR shaving videos lol
This guy is pretty good too

As a total noob to SRs I watched the first 2 vids with interest. The first guy seems to favour his right hand only switching to the left hand for some X grain passes. Everything I read seems to point to learning to use the left hand. I bought a shavette to try to get into SR shaving and my first attempt........well, let's just say there was probably less blood in a halal abattoir! I've been forcing myself to try to use my left hand (practicing without a blade, lol!) and today had a reasonable, but very slow and tentative, shave. I'm determined to crack this as, after 30+ years with a beard (only ever shaving cheek and neck), I'm liking the clean shaved look but my DE doesn't quite shave as close as I'd like.
I just ordered a Boker 'Tree Brand' (the vendor hones them 'shave ready') and strop and can't wait to try it BUT, can someone please tell me the best way to learn to shave with an SR - dominant hand or learn to be ambidextrous?
