A master at work?

[pugh-the-special-one]

well this guy certainly knows how to use a straight razor, i recon he could easily shave with a blind fold on.

Very Impressive stuff, can't see me managing that without years of practice and a few nose and ear transplants.

I'll be sticking to DE's for now I think.

 

[Frankieabbott]

Poetry in motion. Makes it look so easy....or is it really easy and the straight boys (as in razors) like to make out that it's really difficult.

 

[joe mcclaine]

Ah yes.

He's the fella who bought the 7-day Le Grelot set from Invisibleedge.

I remember him from my B&B days.

I think I remember something about him never, ever using anything but a straight razor.

Many thanks for that video, P-T-S-O - it's the definitive I've been looking for. Shows how to get under one's nose, amongst other baffling bits.

What an artist!

 

[Dipesh]

That vid inspired me to get into it. Then I cut myself and lost momentum and switched to the AC SS.

Call me cynical but...I have watched a few of these shaving videos and some, including this look as though they have already had a shave.
Sure there is a scraping noise that sounds like something is happening but some of the strokes he uses across his nose etc just don't ring true with me.

If I tried a stroke like some of his without stretching the skin it would certainly either leave me with a gash in my face or wouldn't shave much off.

Maybe it's just me?

 

[dantheman]

How easy does he make that look??

Not easy enough for me to try it!!

Brilliant.

There's no faking in Willi Peter's video. The Rasurmeistre or summat.
Now THAT's inspirational.

Wait a min!! He didn't shave his head! Heck even I can shave my face... Well, almost(;-)...

Absolutely is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuuuvuOzB7U - and his second one may be even better.

I do like the one in the OP a lot, though - saw it months ago and could never find it again!

That second vid is just mental, makes me want a straight and at the same time scares the hell out of me.

:s

That first guy may have technique but he has no stubble. To me that was way too pedestrian - shouldn't shaving with a straight razor be just a little bit exciting? My idea of a master at work is this fellow:

Now that is cut-throat shaving and something to aspire to.

 

[jaycey]

PC, I was going to go looking for that video myself, thats a shave n a half right there!

Cheers.

Now I'm impressed!!! There're few shaving videos that I can say that about!! I'M IMPRESSED!
