Day Greetings Gents!
I'm Geofatboy for ShaveNation.com-You ever feel that the handle on your razor
is a bit too slippery? I'll show you right now how you can go from this smooth,
chrome polished finish, to a nice rubber coated finish like this which will
greatly improve your grip on your razor, and improve your shaving experience. You
won't have to worry about dropping it! The product that I'm going to use is
this Plasti-Dip. I picked it up at the big-box you know the home center store
you know what I'm talking about... I've used this product in the past on
my lineman pliers - my electrician's pliers, and it works great. Other methods that
have been tried: rubber bands around the handle or those ballpoint pen little
sleeves that fit over the handle usually they are too small to get on here, also
heat shrink tubing - slide it over, and heat it up with a little torch and that will
shrink down to fit. Different methods, but I feel that this dipping method is the
best, and you can do this with any type of razor that you feel the handle is too
slippery. The Merkur Futur, or the Edwin Jagger DE 89, or the Shave Nation SN 89
or the Shave Nation Heavy Chrome handle razor.
Any handle that you feel is too slippery you can dip it in this product and improve the
grip greatly. We'll put a link under the video where you can just click on it
and it'll take you right to the ShaveNation.com website and you can pick
up one of these if you want to. Alright let's get to work! Let's pop open the cap
and stir it thoroughly I'll be using my Philips screwdriver. You want to stir it
up real good so that all the ingredients get thoroughly mixed together. You don't
want to create any bubbles, but you do just want to mix it thoroughly.
Get rid of some of this on here, it will leave a nice coating on my screwdriver
that's for sure and wipe it off. This is actually a
little plastic water bottle that I cut the upper portion off. I'm going to pour
this in here so you can see exactly how it looks when I'm dipping it because you
wouldn't be able to see through the can.
That should be enough. This is the razor I'm using, it's the Merkur Futur. Just
want to make sure that the handle is clean, remove any fingerprints. I had
this clamp in the shop from a previous project, it's got little flexible tips on
it so this is perfect for holding the razor when I drop it in there. This just
fits perfectly over the razor head like so. Even it up on the handle so it's
right in the center and I'll be using this to dip it. This razor handle is 3
inches long. So we'll be dipping it in at a rate of 5 seconds per inch. So we'll
drop it in here- the first inch: 1-2-3-4-5
next inch: 1-2-3-4-5
and the final inch, which is right below the numbers, the number dial: 1-2-3-4-5
And we'll remove it the same way: 1-2-3 4-5 ... 1-2-3-4-5 and then the final, it's
out, and you get a little drip at the bottom which is no big deal, we just do
away with that and it'll soak itself in. And now I'm going to set it in this razor
stand. We'll put a little piece of cardboard under here just in case it
drips we don't ruin anything. And when you place it in the stand make sure you
don't touch the rubber to the sides of the stand. And we'll just let it dry per
the instructions: it says allow 4 hours minimum dry time before use. I'm just
going to let it sit overnight and we'll pick it up again in the morning and
it'll be all dried up by then and ready for use. We don't want to take a chance of
touching it too soon. All right here it is: Nice and grippy - the grip is much
improved much easier to hold on to! And if you're into the blacked out, that
murdered out, black out look this looks awesome! It's very cool! So I hope you
