I've only been shaving with a safety razor for about a week now. I've had my ups and downs like everybody else. Tonight though, was a fantastic shave.
I put in a new Shark stainless blade into my Merkur 180. Used a new Omega brush along with Proraso green. Got a nice lather going. First pass was excellent. The second lathering was POW! with the menthol. The second pass also felt great. Not wanting to fly too close to the sun, I skipped a third pass and instead felt my face, found a few trouble spots and hit them up. Ended on a high note with a tap water cold towel to wipe my face off, and got hit with the second POW! of cold icy menthol. Finished it up with Proraso green tea and oatmeal balm.
No nicks, cuts, weepers or screaming mimis. A nice shave, a nice experience, a nice smell. This is why I switched to DE shaving.
