Detour week continues, its actually about two things so does have a bit of a focus. It's me testing my technique against the different razors I have. Between my purchases and gifts from family I have more than I ought to!). It's also a test of shave longevity through the day between razors - each with the blade I like best in it
Razor :Merkur 33C
Blade : Feather (Feathers utterly rock in this little razor)
Brush: Rocky Mountain
Soap: Arko
Balm : Arko
Aftershave : Farenheit

Thus far into the experiment I've used three razors on successive days - Merkur Futur, Muhle R41, Merkur 33C
Shaves with each razor have been excellent so my technique ok so far.
Longevity - I shave abut 0630 every morning.
Merkur Futur - 3 pass shave and clean up lasted well to about 5pm, by later evening growth coming through. Post shave alum felt good.
Muhle R41 -3 pass shave and clean up, felt good up to abut 7ish. Post shave alum a bit tingly in places
Merkur 33C - don't know yet

but feels very, very good post shave , then again the other two did

. Best post shave feeling so far.
