Hi all,
I've recently gotten into DE Shaving. I started with a Rimei 2003 and a Yingjili Tech. The Rimei gave a smooth finish but was a little rough during the process. The tech was a lot milder but found it difficult to get BBS.
I decided to buy a Merkur 37c because I figured I would eventually move onto a slant and originally got into wet shaving for the cost factor.
I'm impressed with it so far as it is by far the smoothest razor I have used but am having trouble getting as close a shave. If it makes any difference I am using Polsilver blades with an Omega S brush and Arko I know this is against conventional advice but I looked at all blade reviews and found that Polsilver was one of the least polarizing blades (seems like very few people disliked them) and I bought 100 of them.
Do you guys have any tips for me on how to get a closer shave with the slant or anything I be aware of when switching to the slant? Should I be trying out different blades or is it just technique at this point? Perhaps I should develop my technique on the rimei or tech first?
Cheers
