DE - learned to shave long, long before hobby shaving appeared on the scene

Straigh razor - Lynn Abrams teaching: Do not rush it!

Big Bertha isn't real guys. Well, she was but that was in W. Germany in the 80's, before the internet and after many Ouzo's.

Bugger, just spent the last few hours searching with no luck.

Mark AKA Mantic59, from ten or so years ago. Lynn Abrams for straight. Possibly many others learnt from them and made their own videos. It you typed in how to wet shave, mantic would come up. Now it will be some of the newer YouTubers with loads of followings, but probably not dedicated to shaving.

You are using the wrong search term.
The German for "Big Bertha" is "Dicke Bertha".
Maybe you should look at xhamster.de?

You guys crack me up.

I like Lynn's videos, but he is taking it pretty slow. I just didn't have the patience, so I jumped in the deep end of the pool.

There was a video on YouTube that was posted of an older gentleman in Italy that was using a 7-day set of white scaled straight razors that I can locate at present, but his video was top notch. If I find it I will post it...

I found it. Have a look... Mind you he is using his dominant hand mostly, but..

You prefer fast and furious?
There is always Willi-Peter. He doesn't even use a mirror and is done in under 6 minutes.

He doesn't use a windsock on his microphone either! P.

Just turn the volume right down. There are other videos on his channel.
He is not one for talking.

That is good. I am usually done with 3 pass shave plus touch up in less than 10 minutes, however I am no expert and do use a mirror.
When I said Lynns videos were a bit slow, it is because he is talking about first cheeks for few shaves etc. I started with a three pass and am continuing that way. Total disclosure, first 2-3 shaves had less than desirable outcomes, but that is long gone and forgotten..

I have only watched two shave videos: Lynn Abrams and this

The thing I personally like about straight razor shaving is the slow pace, a daily mindfulness exercise, no rush, no bravado, no look at me video.

Me. Because I can only experience how good my shave is and not anyone else's. Is there a World Shaving Championship?

What a silly question to ask

 

[The situational shaver]

I don't know about learning, but I always enjoyed PaulHfilms. Always has nice looking flowers in his shave den.
And he always puts the lathered up brush to the camera and says ‘ loovely smelling, innit'?

I came back to this thread after a few months. Since lockdown, I've found myself watching shaving videos. It's interesting how lather techniques differ between shavers, plus how dense or hydrated the lather appears.
