I always feel that the Merkur 33c is a vastly underrated razor and like it's twin the 15c consider that they are both incredible value for money.

Great performers the pair of 'em.

Agree, have seen your shaves with the OC brother lately and been contemplating getting a 15C from Connaught...

      Rainbow Super stainless blade
      Dokter Henk's Dutch Moss shave cre-oap
      Bowls and bowls of cold water for rinsing before & after each pass

      Thayers' Rose Petal witch hazel
      The Canadian Booster Co.'s Barbershop Classic Mosswood ASL[/list:u][/list:u]

      Very nice 3 pass (third was more of a polish-up pass) shave tonight.
        • ... and it's also very nice to see a few more cold water shavers seeping onto the threads.[/list:u][/list:u]
 
Soundtrack: Manic Street Preachers, swapped half way through for Supergrass as I was getting a bit excited listening to the Manics!

EJ de89bl loaded with Gillette 7 o'clock, third outing for this blade and as yet no perceptible deterioration in performance. I took a slightly different approach to some areas where I had been struggling to get a decent shave, with some success - definite progress.

Several rinses of decreasing temperature, alum block, rub with witch hazel, final rinse, then some of Steve's lovely barbershop bay rum AS.

Lovely shave!
