Another "Teaser" For My Next Video

Here's the first minute of the next segment for the video I'm working on ("How To Shave Cheaply...and Well!"). What do you think so far? Too much "cutesy" production values (over-produced/edited)? Visuals appropriate? Should I be on-camera talking or is off-camera narration OK with you?

I like the presentation of the subject. You should see into the audio compression, that felt a bit too high.
Off-camera narration is okay (with me at least!).

Helge- Yes, I had to compress the file down more than I wanted for Blogger. The final product will be uploaded to the various video sites I belong to (YouTube, Blip, Sclipo, etc.) in a better quality file.

maybe the last scene of the couple walking along got a bit long but otherwise it's all looking good and not off message.

Angus- Good comment, thanks. I think I know a quick edit I can make to address it too!

I think the off-camera narration works well.

As an average joe here who knows little about cameras, movies and audio, I though it was awesome. I can't wait to se the rest of the video.

Perhaps include some info and tips on how to restore and clean up those old vintage razors - although that could be a whole video in itself! I know i'm guilty of not looking after my Merkur's as much as they deserve.
On a different note, have you had any success with alum blocks, witch hazel, or talc powder as aftershaves?

-tom- Yes! There will be a short bit on cleaning vintage razors! I will be discussing various aftershave alternatives in another video but personally I have had good luck with witch hazel, less luck with alum blocks or talcs.
