The 37C punches way above its weight. It's on par with my ATT S1 but at a fraction of the price. Both shaves deliver great results just in a different way.SOTD: 4th Febuary 2017.

Maiden voyage of newly purchased Merkur 37C. To make it a pleasurable experience i've matched it up with a Gillette Silver blue blade ,and Tabac which is probably one of my favourite shaving soap..The verdict? a totally superb razor, a very efficient piece of engineering, which provided me with a 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report..I thought it was going to be very aggressive, but it wasn't at all,absolutely no pressure at all is required with this little lady..My face feel's super smooth and refreshed.Enjoy,your day gentlemen.
I can't comment on the ATT S1 , haven't had the pleasure... but my shave today with my 37C was probably one of the closest shaves i've had since i started DE shaving in 2016..it's definitely on a equal par to my Muhle R41 & Fatip Grande, of which i consider two of the best DE razors on the market for a very reasonable price, i can now undoubtedly add a third.. the Merkur 37C .A superb razor.Regards.The 37C punches way above its weight. It's on par with my ATT S1 but at a fraction of the price. Both shaves deliver great results just in a different way.
+1 couldn't agree more on the Tabac Original.SOTD: 4th Febuary 2017.

Morning gents,
Can't believe it's already February,
Arrived home yesterday after spending the month in Germany, had a few new bits from P&B when I arrived.
Had a real smooth no dramas shave, used my bowl for the first time and I can understand now why people use them, the spitfire soap exploded as soon as I started whipping it up, top performance as we all expect from P&B. My first exposure to the balm and solid cologne, first impression is they are both excellent, I originally thought the tins were Abit small but once I'd used them I reckon they will last for an absolute age so happy with that. Used my trusty vintage stainless steel 5/8 Bismarck, extra hollow, this really is a great little blade, ploughs through hair and is real comfortable to use. I can report no mishaps and one smooth shave all round .the solid cologne is a clone of the soap and mrs Bates loves it, a little bit goes a long way, another great product from P&B.
Wishing you all a great weekend, looking forward to spending some time with the family.
Cheers gents
Pre: hot shower and bulldog face wash
Soap: Phoenix and beau Spitfire
Brush: 22mm razorock plissoft
Razor: vintage stainless steel 5/8 Bismarck, extra hollow
Strop: westholme 3 inch double sided hanging.
Post shave: Phoenix and Beau unscrnted balm
Scent: Phoenix and Beau Spitfire Solid Cologne
it's kind of like a tin of Vaseline that's been in the fridge overnight,Top write up Brad.
Never heard of a 'Solid Cologne' before. Is it like a bar of soap? The tin looks cool too.
I'm afraid Spitfire didn't agree with my skin.
