Excellent 3-pass shave. Super Iridium blades definitely get better for me after the first two shaves.

Having a strange fling with these slant bar razors just of late.

After buying them I mostly ignored them probably because there modern, and yes I have been looking at the vintage Hofritz ones, and no I'm not buying one! So none of you enablers start posting pics.

The last thing I need is a Hofritz monkey to deal with thank you.

Greetings

Sunday 5th January 2014
Prep: Shower
Razor: Merkur 37c Slant
Blade: Treet 'Black Beauty' Carbon
Brush: Semogue SE 2012 Mixed
Soap: La Toja Stick grated
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)

Super close comfortable shave.

I really like these blades; plenty sharp enough and very kind and gentle on the skin, I don't know why they receive so little acclaim.

Regards
