Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Derby Extra
Brush: Shavemac D01 Horn
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
A/S: Ogallala Bay Rum


I used a Derby for a change of pace this morning. The Futur seems to make any blade work well and today's test supported the theory...I enjoyed an irritation free BBS shave. The Ogallala Bay Rum was soothing and refreshing.

I've got to say that I don't care for the stick format. I think I'll grind this one up.

Oh, merde--how's that happen, Habibi? Last year, the 1st Ming Shi razor I get broke as I twist open to put a new blade. The new one I have, thanks God, no problem.

 

I don't know - but Gio always talked poorly about Merkur's construction. I've so many vintage razors that outdate this 1.5 yr old thing by light years.

Back to AOS it goes, unless Merkur offers me a Barberpole replacement
