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 tried one of those Dollar Store razors for fun. I would recommend buying a better quality razor personally. There are good inexpensive 3 piece razors on Amazon.
It’s going on 3 years of service. I like the angle, and since it’s screw together, a little release of tension let’s me blast any stubborn whiskers out. But I’ll save this for if it ever breaks.
