I was thinking I hadn't used 'Golden Boy' (my Gold Merkur Future) for a while so I took him out and loaded him with a GSB for a quick once around my face today.
WOW! what a great shave!! 2 passes and a minimal amount of pickups to BBS. I'd forgotten how nicely this Razor shaves when you show a little discipline with technique. Almost zero-G pressure, deliberate movements and let the blade sing to you, telling you what it's doing. Almost sounds like a hollow straight edge . This is another success for the GSB as well. I am yet to find a razor this blade doesn't work in.
I guess I have to give some credit to the tub of Tabac that came in the mail from Con K today as well. Nice slickness and cushion right there. I have the stick which I enjoy but the puck in that glass bowl takes it to another level altogether.
To make up the Teutonic Trifecta (Kinda) I finished with a nice splash of Alt Innsbruck Cologne. Now I'm sitting back just chilling, smelling classy and marveling how close and comfortable that shave was. Nothing like those days where you just totally nailed the shave!
