Thread: Videos for beginners

Thank you Thomas for the videos. I am currently shaving with a de razor. I just got my van der hagen shave set delivered today and I started thinking about getting a straight razor. Thanks to your video I am going to get a straight as soon as I find out whats the best one for me thanks again for the vids.

I watched the first Vid, will watch the second. Your point about the antiseptic qualities of alcohol is well-taken. I use - so far - something not typical in the community for my after shave skin treatment, because it just feels wonderful. It is a moisturizer and antiseptic. From Bath and Body works (it was a gift, and now, a standard )

"Aromatherapy Body Lotion - EUCALYPTIS & SPEARIMENT"

..so good on and tingly....and soothing, too....little dabs on a wet face go far....Eucalyptis I believe is a natural antiseptic?

As for the hot/cold water, I like the hot, but my face seems to like the cold? As if it 'calms the fiery beast' that is my face.

I have a theory, but don't know if it's fact? I imagine it's like when something is 'inflamed' and Doctors say Ice it (Ice fights inflammation kinda thing ?) well, my face feels inflamed? Same thing?

Anyway, not sure, I'm still sticking with Hot, too... (Living in WI, I get enough cold!)

Very nice, thanks for the videos, I like the tip about lathering by hand, not everyone can afford a brush and that little trick is pretty cool. Thanks

Excellent video!! Very informative!

Thomas, any news back from your friend you gave the straight to?

Thx All!

My friend Got the razor and he appreciate the videos. I have not heard that he has tried to shave yet.

Really appreciate these videos, as another beginner desperately adsorbing as much of the SRP collective wisdom as possible, actually seeing the things talked about in practise is extremely useful!
Thanks
