Greetings,
Early morning face & head shave.
I'll be honest and say since the Merkur 39C was passed on to me I have infrequently added to my razor rotation and always reached for the 37C, purely because I prefer the shorter handle... It's my intention to bond with the 39C throughout the month, as the 37C is such a comfortable efficient razor to shave with, and I want to adjust and have the same opinion of it's bigger heavier sibling.
An enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave to start a new month off wonderfully with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of splash of Brut Original EdT to the pulse points.
My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Tuesday 1st September...
This boar is a new and is by far the stiffest I own and so is going to take a little breaking in. I'd forgotten how good this Cyril Salter soap is though and although I needed to reload the brush between passes, it provided a great lather. I've been using the Schick as a pickup razor while I used the shavette in the early days and so I'm not sure about the blade use. It's still crisp and sharp so effectively less than #2 or #3. Two passes is all.
Enjoy your day...

A very nice shave with the #2 of my pair of Kropp razors, i am really happy with the edges on both these razors, they are very smooth and they sing out during the shave.
I completed my 2 pass shave routine for a very close BBS finish.
I did get some indication from the splash but nothing major.
Enjoy your day all.
