Greetings Gents! I'm Geofatboy for ShaveNation.com
It's Saturday I'm in the shop finished up most of my work for the day I started
thinking about it's been a week since I put out a shaving video so in my head
I'm going through OK what can I do next what's a good topic for a shaving video?
This is where you guys come in. I like when you give me recommendations and I
try to keep up with that sort of thing but anyway I'm straining my brain to see
what I can come up with and-doorbell rings at the shop so I go and check it
out and guess who it is? It's Latrice. Well you don't know who
Latrice is but she's the mail person from the USPS. Usually it's Bob, but Bob's
on vacation so we got Latrice! And Latrice gives me a few packages, some mail
and this box right here. And it says it's From: Mr. Fine and it says To: Shave
Nation: Attention: Geo. So I open it up and what's in here, just like this just a box
and some paper and a little bag, a little styro bag right here and I take it out
and there it is! It's the brand-new-(lets get rid of this stuff) It's the brand-new
prototype of the Fine Marvel Safety Razor. Here's a look at it and the first
thing I notice is that the head is straight and the handle is coming down
not true it's not straight down it's not perfectly perpendicular to the head it's
coming off on an angle a little bit but we'll let that go since it's a prototype.
So this razor is a three piece razor it breaks down into three pieces like so:
top cap, safety bar, handle. Reassemble and it is a low profile
it's a flat head you can see that the head is not rounded it's flat and
immediately that brings me to a little comparison and reminds me of the Merkur
37C the Slant Bar which is the other razor I know of
that has that flat top also the 39C Sledgehammer by Merkur has the same
flat top. But as you can see these have serrated edges on the bar. The fine razor
no serrated edges. That may have something to do with the fact that it
says it's a clog-proof blade gap. So hopefully when I shave with it we'll
find out how clog-proof it really is! If you already have the Fine Slant Bar
Razor here's a look at it. Let's put them side-by-side and you can see the
difference. The Marvel razor is a bit longer and it's definitely heftier
the handle is also thicker and it's a more beefy razor you can feel it right
away in the hand. This razor weighs in at 3.4 ounces or 98 grams and then the
dimension from top to bottom overall is 3.4 inches or 87 millimeters it's an all
metal razor. It's a chrome finish as you can see. And
it just so happens that I have some pretty decent beard growth today I've
got two or three days worth of beard growth here so let's load this razor up
with a blade. I'll use a Feather blade because I'm accustomed to that, familiar
with it so I can get a good feel for how this razor shaves. Here's the blade
I'll just pop it over that top cap the post and the two pins and then insert
the bar like so. The bar can go either way, and then reinstall or reassemble the
handle. Let's check the blade reveal-Oh it's
perfect! Yeah it looks really good.
Here's a look at it the blade reveal is perfect-even on top, even on the bottom.
So you should get an even shave, not more aggressive on one side less aggressive
on the other. Should be pretty even so let's get to the shave. I'll warm up my
beard and I'm going to lather up. I'm going to use I've got a tub here this is
a Fine soap tub it's got some Snake Bite shaving soap. Fine Snake Bite Shaving
Soap. I've been blooming the lather I've been blooming the soap. I've got
some water on top of it that's why you saw the water spill out and I might as
well use the Fine brush as well. I'll use the Fine
Stout brush. I'll just dip the brush in this marble cup with hot water and you
can see that it's holding a bunch of water I'll shake that out this is a
synthetic brush so you need to remove a lot of the water so I give it a couple
good shakes remove that water and get started with the lather and just a few
seconds I've got some decent lather coming out over the sides of this little
soap bowl should be enough for me to get a shave going. Let's set that down I'm
going to warm up my beard real quick and then we'll get right to the shave!
My beard is nice and warm, I'll just splash a little bit of hot water on, dry off
my fingers. And just take the brush, got it loaded quite nicely you can see that
there's a lot of lather up here and we'll start lathering up right here.
Start at the right side and just a circular motion work the way around-neck,
cheeks, over to the other side. Mustache area. This Fine Snake Bite has a nice tingle to it!
What now? Clear The Runways so we can see the sideburns
for an even lineup. Now dry the fingers.
And here's the razor loaded with the Feather Blade. So I will start on the
right side here just I'll start perpendicular and tilt slightly upward
cut that sideburn and start working my way down. Oh pretty sweet! I can feel
that it's very efficient. Look at it it's taking it off really easily just a few
strokes and it's gone. I did have a decent beard growth as well. Really
nice. Let's rinse-both sides are filled up I'll rinse off. Now the left
side same way just perpendicular tilt slightly upward find that angle you
don't really have to pay too much attention to the visible angle just go
by feel that's normally what I do. I don't even look at the angle once it's
on my face I just go by the feel of the cutting of the blade. Very smooth!
Now the chin area
Sweet! No need to go over the same area too many times it takes it away very
efficiently and it's very smooth as well.
Let's really fill this up and see if it will clog. I'll keep going with the same
side.
So I've got a lot of shaving cream built up there let's see how it rinses out.
Very clean no problem whatsoever so it does rinse very clean and as they say
Clog Proof-I believe it is! Now the mustache area.
Okay I see a lot of black stubble coming out when I rinse. Just dig in and get a
little bit more lather here for the second pass. I feel like I'll only need
to do two passes with this razor it seems very very efficient. Same way start at
the right side and work my way to the other side.
And Clear The Runways again. Okay now we'll go across the grain. First pass was
north to south with the grain. I'll go across from ear to nose. Very smooth!
You really really get the impression this razor, very difficult to cut yourself
with it.
Very smooth.
You can whip it around pretty pretty quickly
now the neck area I'll go against the grain
and across the grain on the mustache area it's got a nice compact head it's
easy to get underneath the nose here. I normally tilt it on an angle and just
use the tip to clean out directly under the nose like so and then flatten it out
against the upper lip to clean that area and then same thing on the other side.
Just the tip first to get underneath and then flatten it.
And a little cleanup
And the final rinse with hot and then cold water. And now I'll just take my
Shave Nation Alum Wide Stick just glide that all around. Give me a little
feedback to see if I get any stinging I'll know that maybe I went a little bit
too close somewhere or it was a little aggressive and I'm not getting any
stinging. So a tad right there, I got a little bit, that was it though.
Everywhere else nice and smooth.
Excellent! Put that away and just let that dry for about 30 seconds and then
rinse it off then Pat the face dry. And naturally I'll finish up since I
used the Snake Bite Shave Soap I'll use the Snake Bite Aftershave Lotion which as
you know it's got a good bite to it. Its got a good sting to it. Just sprinkle
some in the palms, activate the ingredients, and BAM! This gives you a
burn like you never had before. And it doesn't last just 30 seconds you feel it
for quite a while after your shave. It's a nice refreshing finish to the shave
definitely a good wake up call in the morning. Let's recap that and put it away.
Let me dry the razor off a little bit for a final viewing. Okay as far as
aggressiveness I'm gonna rate this above DE89 above Merkur 34C, two common
razors that a lot of people have in their arsenal, in your shaving rotation.
I'll say this will be up maybe a 5 possibly a 6 as far as aggressiveness.
Not as high as a Mühle R41 and more aggressive than say a Parker 22R,
something like that. Excellent everyday shaving razor it has a nice heft. There
is knurling on the handle which it's not super pronounced but it is enough
where you get a good grip on the razor. And like I said, the handle is a little
bit skewed as opposed to the head which probably since it's a prototype that's
not a big deal. I'm sure that will be corrected when they go mass
production and again just a very smooth shaving razor as you saw removed my
heavy two three-day beard growth in two passes more than enough. I'm nice and
baby smooth right now. So I feel like this will be one of your favorite razors
and have a high spot in your rotation one, two whatever because you can shave
with this every day, every other day as you saw my heavy beard growth every two
or three days even. This will get the job done and it just feels like it's
efficient and smooth enough where you can use it every day as well. So that's
about it and as far as availability, I don't think these are available maybe
for another month or two. I'm sure they're going to mass production that's
going to take a while, then you got quality control check things out, so
hopefully within the next couple months they'll be available. As soon as they're
available you can pick one up at ShaveNation.com So thanks very much
for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video. I'm Geofatboy visit ShaveNation.com for
