Method Shaving??? Charles Roberts

I'm not sure how I came across this rabbit hole, but this guy is a... eccentric...nut...shaving savant?? I've never seen anything like this, particularly the way he moves the razor. I may watch it again.

 

I take it you're already familiar with this guy? Mesmerising the way he uses the razor. Maybe a bit of BS, and salesmanship?

 

it was eye opening..

 

I thought he might have already been discussed here in the past, but the Search engine didn't turn up anything.

 

When I first saw him about 5-6 years ago I thought it was BS and that he wasn't using a blade. Today my wife and son see me fully shave within 3-4 minutes and they wonder how I shave without a nick.

He was that good ...... nuts, but good

RIP

I always had a hard time taking him seriously and would be willing to bet money on his razor not actually having a blade in it. He would always insist that there's a feather in there, but shaving that way with so many passes would tear a face up. You'll notice you can never see any stubble on him in his videos. A great many people called him out to either somehow verify that there's a blade in the tm razor during a video, or to grow a visible amount of stubble to allow visual verification that he's actually shaving. As far as I know he ignored these requests.

A few of his apologists tried to claim that you couldn't see stubble simply because he had a very fine beard... But people with fine beards don't need 27 passes with a feather.... it just makes no sense, between that and all countless zonky zany terms like "flux" and "pitch" I've arrived at the speculation that he was either putting on a performance, wasn't all there, or both.

 

Maybe literally a feather, like from a bird, lol.

I've never seen him before.

I learned awhile ago to not overthink it. It's only shaving.

 

I sure as hell wouldn't shave like that. Especially with a Feather blade.

 

Sorry, but I call BS on this.
1. Look at the angle of the blade. Totally wrong.
2. Too fast. Nobody needs to try to speed shave.
3. Where did he come up with these words and terms for shaving? Never heard of them.
4. Totally messy and sloppy job of shaving.

I could do my entire shave, by face lathering with a brush, in a half sink of water, in 1/3 of the time he took. I would be clean at the end, with a simple 2 pass shave, and I would have taken my time with the blade.
PT Barnum.

 

Not for me, and I tend to agree with you @DaltonGang , but...
It's your shave. Enjoy it your way.
