@Executive Shaving threw the cream in as a freebie with the last brush order. It was a great touch which was really unexpected.
I must admit that I am really impressed with the quality of the brushes Alpha makes and the new G4 knots are great.
Now that's some shopping!
You must have used a 37C before ... see if you think the aggressiveness has changed.
I picked it up Paul as I've heard a rumour on a US podcast that Merkur are in administration and have stopped producing razors. I must admit that I haven't shave with a 37c for a number of years and the Fatip slant got me back into using it. It felt much smoother than when I last remember using it (as, incidentally, did my Ikon B1 slant). I'm not sure whether this is down to a change in the razor or due to the fact that I've finally nailed my pre-shave prep and lathering process.
Paul there was a thread about it either on here or ATG. Somebody posted pics showing the slight differences in the heads. They definitely retooled as the newer razor had subtle but obvious visual differences. I didn't shave with the newer version but those who did agreed it a just a wee bit milder.
I had the 37c around 3 years ago and couldn't get on with it. Shaved as rough as a box of sandpaper. Moved it on very quickly. Possibly was due to my poor technique but never looked at a slant after that.Oh, I believe you, Dave ... sound, I'll get searching. This is interesting.
Seeing Andy picking up a new 37C, I though he must have used one in the past and wondered what his thoughts were. Looks like I'll just have to buy a vintage Hoffritz to get the old-fashioned slant shave
