Monday Woke up late, no time for the straight this morning Trumpers Sandalwood Soap Simpsons Cubby 2 Best Merkur Slant Feather Razor Tabac AS Tabac EdC
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap Kent BK4 Merkur Slant Bar Merkur Blade Shavex Alum Hydrolat Unscented A/S Conditioner First time I ever got a decent shave with a Slant Bar, and with a Merkur blade no less. I used to hate the Slant Bar, I never understood what all the fuss was about. I didn't find the razor particularly harsh, just totally useless, couldn't get it to shave worth a damn no matter what I tried. As much as I hated the Slant, I hate Merkur blades evenmore. Today I picked it up on a whim and mistakenly put a Merkur blade in and I got the best DE shave I ever had. I won't be giving up on the straights (no reason to ) but it's nice to have a decent alternative if I'm in a hurry. Regards, Alex

I had to play around too much with the soap sto lather where I wanted it. Need to use just damp brush and lather it on your face. Forget the bowl and and only add water to slick it up. Forget about lather. It's not happening. Smells really nice though and gave great glide with two day old beard and the Derby Blade on day 4 maybe 5. Unheard of for me to use a blade that long.

You're very welcome, Dave! :: MONDAY Gillette Tech Lord blade MP best badger Trumper CSF/PRE T&H SS Tüff Sensitive AS Pre de Provence ASB A very close shave, but the Lord blade gave me some irritation today so 4 days is my maximum with this blade.
Ya, 3 days for me. I dodged a bullet this morning. Should have used the day four blade to shave my armpits.
Because, blades usually are only good for 3 days with me and every two weeks I use a day 4 blade to shave my armpits. Heat + sweat = stink. The less hair to trap bacteria, the less stink and the more effective my herbal deodorant or Crystal works. Started it when I was 17 at Wonderbread.
No, I get that. But a blade you wouldn't use on your face is ok for your underarms? No thank you. Ouch!
Seems to work for me for some reason. Haven't had a razor burn yet. Probably because, I do it in the shower with lots a hot water. Works a lot better than the twin cartridge I used to use. Clogged too much.
