Just as an FYI, of all the blades I've tried Shark Super Chrome are hands down my fav. and one of the cheapest blades out there. Just love them in the EJ DE89L.
http://www.theartofshaving.com/shop/product/67007/11 this is what i have been using for awhile now. Two passes in a different direction for a nice shave and 3 to 4 for a bad ass one,next i want to try a straight raZor!
Let me know how do you guys like the feathers, never tried them and i think i may pull the trigger on those,although i have whole bunch of other brands! TABAC FTW!
Having a nice brush along with that razor is must,making good lather is also important for a good shave! Keepthe blade 30 degrees tilt will avoid nasty cuts,take your time shaving! Go with grain on first pass,against on second.watch mantic videos as well to learn more techniques!GL!
I got some Cremo Creme to go along with my Merkur. Will this stuff work? I've used it with my Gillete Sensor and loved it but this will be my first DE razor.
anyone try any of the Merkur open comb DE razors? im thinking of getting the HD long handle open comb and would like some opinions on how it compares to the same razor with a safety bar.
i have a mid 1930's Gillette NEW Ball end. that thing is open comb. I feel that it is less aggressive than my Merkur 38c that is not open comb. the NEW does do a good job if i have let my face go for a few days. the open comb lets the hair stay standing as i shave instead of knocking it down just before i cut it. i like that but i kinda like the aggressiveness of the 38c on the days where i have shorter stubble.
I thought for sure this was going xrated,, lol, Nope I use an electric, just seems easier.. Not as close for sure, but gets the job done, rarely use a blade anymore.
hmm, after reading a few posts, I think I may wanna try this stuff out; it'd be nice to get a close shave and go through a similar ritual like I do with my cigars; can anyone recommend what I should start out with? I'd like something I can grow into (not too newbie) that'll last me awhile - any suggestions?
