Greetings Gents,

Quick question - does the Merkur 37c get through (dull) blades quicker than say the Merkur 34c? Reason for asking - just has the worse shave possible, still feeling sore on my neck, and crimson flowed and not sure if I should have changed my Wilkinson razor after two uses.

Thanks in advance,


Brian

Brian - what do you mean by a dull blade? Bad news on the claret spilled mate. I've used the Slant for years happily and never had that sort of experience. I.

I have read that slants dull blades quicker but I have no experience as I change blades after 3 or 4 shaves, depending on my memory

I think you may have answered Brian's question. Unless it's something special I will toss the blade after two or three uses. They are cheap - and there is only one way to find out if you are pushing it with a blade - and the result is generally unpleasant finding out. cheers - I.

I'm not sure if I have, as everything you read on forums and/or blogs are usually/always subjective.
