Mantic, the American wet shaving guru, has been taking part in a Question and Answer session with Shaving Shack visitors.

Already Mantic, a veteran of the BadgerAndBlade and ShaveMyFace forums, has answered questions on advanced shaving techniques, slant razors, brush break-in, passes, runny lather and suitable brush types.

Today he answers a further two questions in the Youtube video below.

The first is from Doug, who asks: “After many years of shaving with a heavy metal atra razor, what would be the best blade and method for using my grandfathers’ old Gillette 1961 Fat Boy and his 1948 Golden Aristocrat razor?”

The second comes from Jevon, who asks: “What different blades are recommended for different beard types?”
