Well let’s carry on the run of Merkur shall we? Today’s choice was the 39C the often neglected cousin of the 37C in my rotation. Loaded up with a fresh Merkur Super Platinum and I must admit, I honestly can’t remember the last time I loaded up one of these blades but I am glad I did. The blade was sharp and smooth and in this slant, a great pick.

Soap of the day was Stirling Executive Man followed up with the matching AS. A buddy and I have been jawing recently on the merits of “cologne” based shaving soaps and how close they are to their inspiration and this one is pretty close to Creed Aventus at least as far as my nose. Sure there are better ones out there but for the dollar this does it for me. Performance is as a Stirling soap should be and is, exceptional.

Lovely 2 pass shave and just off BBS but it’s Friday and that is good enough for me! Topped it off with Gucci Pour Homme EDT. Happy weekend and shaves to all!

Lot of buzz over the New Deluxe of late. I threw a shim on mine for a little bump in rigidity and used my sharpest blade, a second use BIC. Very nice. Still needed a bit of cleanup with the MMOC on the back of my head but a pleasure to use

 

Beautiful razor and set up Sir!
