Shave of the Day (SOTD) Merkur/Menthol Monday February 25, 2013• Prep: Brush soaked in hot water, warm shower • Razor: Merkur 37C HD Slant • Blade: Polsiver Stainless (2) • Brush: Vintage Stanley Home Products restored with TGN 22mm Fan High Density Finest Two-Band Badger Knot • Soap: Proraso Shave Menthol and Eucalyptus with added menthol • AS: Mennen Skin Bracer Cool Spice • Post: Cold Water Rinse, double splash of aftershave Another great shave with the Merkur 37C HD. The Polsilver Stainless is such a great blade, I just hate that Gillette in their infinite wisdom decided to pull production from Poland and move it to Russia and that these blades will no longer be produced. A very nice and cool shave today.
