Slant of the day...
This afternoon is less about the pot and more about the razor...I received my Merkur 37C Slant this morning so I've given it a try![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The shave: Warm water wash with Glyce soap, followed by rinse and Proraso White pre-shave cream / Proraso White shaving soap / Cadman custom 'Burki' Bell brush / Merkur 37C Slant + Nacet(1) / Wright'sCoal tar soap wash, followed by cold rinse and alum / Pitralon Classic AS splash, followed by Proraso Eucalyptus and Menthol Balm.
Verdict: Followed the wise advice from some kind fellows in TSR and just shaved as normal - no drama shave that was comfortable and nick- and burn-free. Very happy with the razor and glad that I've added a slant to the armoury.
I can also recommend Pitralon AS to those who might not have tried it - it's very clean and refreshing and works really well with Proraso balms...especially the Green!
I tried to create a picture that reflects the shave: green, clean and fresh!![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Happy shaves all!
