RR German 37 on Weber Bulldog
Omega Chunky Chubb
Humphrey's Cucumber & Melon Witch Hazel
Valobra Cologne Shaving Soap
Swiss Pitralon
...I purchased a Merkur Slant 37c recently and was left disappointed. It did not give me an easy close shave like the 39c or RR German 37 Slant - it felt like a different razor. I put this down to the handle and packed it away as I did not have the patience to dial in the angle. However I recently read that from 2015 Merkur altered the head design slightly on their Slant resulting in a milder shave. Alas this rings true; for me they ruined a classic, winning design! All is not lost though, I pressed into service after some considerable time my trusty RR German 37 on a Weber Bulldog. The RR's head design is a close copy of the Merkur pre 2015 Slant head, albeit a tad smoother but just as efficient. Normal service has been resumed. The RR 37 is a great shaver especially on a SS handle and a steal. I also never really warmed to Valobra's hard soaps, the scents are just off for me, that said I have been using it for a while and the performance is good but I have to say I prefer Palmolive grated both for performance and scent. Finished off with the superb Swiss Pitralon.
Have you the Caribbean lime one too? It's excellent.
Interesting to read your findings of the Merkur 37C.
I found that mine didn't live up to the awesome reputation either.
I found I had to put in extra effort to get close to BBS.
I'll have to look into the RR slant some time.
