    3 day beard

    P-74 [2]
    Niellite 400 (bakelite)
    Barbasol 1919 cream

    2 pass BBS. Either the blade performed even better in the N-400 - very possible - or it smoothed out since shave 1. Either way, wonderful. The 1919 works very well, no issues.

    2.5 day beard

    P-74 [4]
    LC NEW
    Olivina Bourbon Cedar

    Shaved at work so one pass DFS. Still smooth... paired with the NEW may be the best match yet, or the blade is really breaking in.

    i was thinking that,:)..up for the next 3.1965 k-1 brit flare tip.while still a mildish razor this one has the slim head like the black handle version and seems more efficient that the earlier ones.if it doesn't pan out i'll try the brit red tip.

    On my 12th shave with the Merkur 34C, it shaved just like my first shaves, BBS.

    '58 TV Special
    Olivina Bourbon Cedar (pass 1)
    Power Stick Anti-Chafe Glide Cream (pass 2)

    Shaved at work again. Olivina ran out so I had to try the Power Stick for pass 2. Worked fine, BBS, no issues.
