I just went back to my Merkur 38c for the first time in a couple of months and all I can say is: wow! I haven't had a shave that nice and irritation free in, well, about 2 months. The key for me is the weight of that razor. I'm not even tempted to use any pressure; I can just let the weight of the razor do all of the work.
Now I realize I was using way too much pressure with the fatboy, slim, et, al. It seems like such a simple concept, but it really is true: too much pressure leads to irritation, especially for me on my neck.
I think I'll stick with my 38c for a while.
