Result: 4.6/5.0 BBS with almost no irritation. The Merkur Progress razor at 3 with the Sharp blade made one sweet cutting sound. It was singing to me. The talc gives a nice finishing touch as usual. The shave I did on Sunday was done in the bathtub while I was soaking in a a menthol mineral solution. Ahhh...heaven. I did the shave totally by feel with no mirror. Definitely a different experience. Not one nick though.

 

A good point, Johnnie--I have 2 Tabac sticks, and a bowl soap. I should definitely start using the stuff more often. Tabac is a soap fit for a KING!
