Today was the big day, I had all my supplies and was ready to go:
Merkur Classic
Merkur Platnuim blade
Edwin Jagger Best Bagder brush
Trufit and Hill shave cream (It was a free sample)
Aqua Velva Blue Sport
The razor tugged at my hair the entire shave. (My stubble was 3 days old, and I showered before I started) My face after two passes (with the grain, and across) was a patchy mess of slighty cut hair, and hair that looked untouched. Rather then try another pass I grabbed my Mach3 and evened out the shave. The only positive to come out of this is that I received zero razor burn, ingrown hairs, or cuts. (A first for me)
Despite my poor results, I'll stick with it. I think I have a problem mantaining a consistent shaving angle, (It's especially difficult under the jaw) which would probably explain the uneveness. Also my lather was too dry. (I shook out the brush one too many times)
