It’s been more than six months since I came back to wet shaving with a traditional safety razor. I’ve gone completely old school and could not be happier with my decision. \u00a0Not only am I getting a great shave, but the process, overall, has been healthier and I’m saving some serious coin. \u00a0Our dads and granddads knew something.<\/p>\n

It’s great seeing more and more guys come back to this great tradition.<\/p>\n

During this entire wet shaving re-discovery process, I’ve tried out a few different razors and blades. \u00a0(You can see those reviews on my youtube channel <\/a>or simply scroll through this blog.) \u00a0Recently, I tried the Merkur and Edwin Jagger razors due to many users giving them five-star\u00a0reviews. \u00a0While these are well made razors, I still haven’t found them to be as good as the Vikings Blade razor<\/a>s I originally started out using.<\/p>\n

I use The Godfather razor by Vikings Blade<\/a> every morning. \u00a0It’s my goto razor. I decided to set it aside and use Vikings Blade’s Chieftain razor<\/a>. \u00a0I wanted to understand how this razor changed my entire shaving routine for the better. \u00a0Did it still perform as well as when I first used it? \u00a0Was it \u00a0better than the Merkur and Edwin Jagger?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The Chieftain razor by Vikings Blade<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The answer is a resounding YES! \u00a0The shave is close and comfortable and oh so smooth! \u00a0While the Merkur and Edwin Jagger routinely missed hairs on my chin, The Chieftain<\/a> never failed to shave those hairs on first pass.<\/p>\n

Using The Chieftain<\/a>\u00a0razor reminded me of how wise my decision was to return to wet shaving. \u00a0The Chieftain<\/a>\u00a0 also reminded me of how lucky I was to select it from among all the others as my re-introduction to wet shaving. \u00a0Had I not, I may well have gone back to my old ways of shaving with an overly priced and inferior electric razor.<\/p>\n

Amazon eGifts cards! \u00a0A great gift for any occasion!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Chieftain<\/a>\u00a0 is a very well made shaving instrument. \u00a0It is precise, manufactured\u00a0from high quality materials, and will likely last a lifetime and beyond. \u00a0Your kids and grandkids\u00a0will fight over who inherits it! \u00a0And this is because Vikings Blade is a\u00a0great company ! \u00a0Compared to the competition, they give you so much more for the money, plus their razors come with a lifetime guarantee! \u00a0Vikings blade really stands behind their products!<\/p>\n

So, this blog post is, in many ways, an update to my original Amazon review of The Chieftain razor. <\/a>\u00a0 As I’ve said before, The Godfather<\/a> and The Chieftain<\/a> are the only razors you’ll ever need.<\/p>\n

However, go ahead and try some others. \u00a0Experiment! \u00a0Try different blades and soaps and creams and razors. \u00a0Mix it up! \u00a0It’s all part of the fun of wet shaving!<\/p>\n

As the old saying goes, “If your morning shave isn’t the best part of your day, you’re doing it wrong.”<\/p>\n
