This is the third shave with my Merkur 37c loaded with a Wizamet blade. The blade is showing some wear. It was not as smooth as it was in previous shaves. However, the shave was close. Today I switched to the large synthetic made by Yaqi. It took longer to load the Haslinger soap than the Paladin brush I used yesterday. The lather was good, however. The Haslinger tallow soap resulted in an excellent lather. This was the 17th day I used the soap. The shave was perfect. Have a wonderful day, folks.
