Bought a Merkur 33C, a synthetic Parker brush, and a mühle soap bar thar I received today.
Not as close a shave as I’m used to, but my skin feels a lot less irritated than it used to after a shave. Cut myself twice, on my upper lip and on the underside of my chin.
I’ve been using a Merkur for 3 years now and I still can’t figure out how to not nick myself at least once.
I think the contours of my face just don’t work for the design of these tools. It’s a shame.
You face is fine, you handsome devil you.
Technique matters. Head angle and how hard you press with the razor matters. The brand of razor blades also matters. And even the shaving soap/cream matters too.
I think you should ask yourself why you keep using the razor if you nick yourself every time?
but It’s more fun when other people get asked those questions. I don’t want to spoil it for them.
