Comments | I switched razors today and picked the Merkur 37C. I loaded the razor with a fresh Wizamet blade. I am a fan of slant razors and this one was the second slant I bought. I can always count on this razor to give a nice, smooth shave. Today’s brush is my first synthetic brush – an Omega 81052. The brush made excellent lather with the Haslinger soap. This was the 15th day I used the soap. The shave was perfect. Have a wonderful day, folks. |

Treet Platinum seems like it might be a real winner. Sharp, yet very comfortable. I didn’t have a good opportunity to test longevity on the first blade in this tuck as I was traveling over the weekend, so we’ll see how this one lasts, now I’m back home, in my usual routine. |

Comments | One day growth. Another fine shave with the SCS razor. I had some irritation on the right side of my neck that was not evident to me yesterday. I could feel it while lathering with the brush and confirmed by the alum. Hopefully it will be toned down by tomorrow. Three passes and one clean up. No nicks. No cuts. Some residual irritation from yesterday's shave. DFS+ Have some great shaves! |
Just ordered the Timeless Aluminum Razor. I'm hoping I love it!!!Timeless Aluminum / 7 O'clock yellow / DSC synth / Brito lime / Stirling glacial electric sheep / Clubman Vanilla - 10View attachment 1844739
