Forgotten Quality Rediscovered

Forgotten Quality Rediscovered
I would like to highly recommend the Merkur Model 180 Safety Razor. I recently had a visit at my dermatologist discovering the thing on my face was an ingrown hair. She asked what razor I was using, well of course the Triple bladed bells and whistle Excel 2525 (you know what I mean). She informed me how bad those razors are for your face and told me to switch to a single blade brand. I decided to research a good safety razor. I like most had flash backs of the day my father taught me shaving with a safety razor. It was recorded on 8mm film and made it into the movies under the name Blood hotel. I did however place the order recalling how dad swore by it. This razor gives a remarkable shave in addition to being a piece of art. For once there will be something in the bathroom that you not the wife can be proud of. I park it on a glass shelf with an English shaving brush, outstanding. When you purchase the Merkur add Feather hi Stainless Platinum blades to the order. They have the proper sharpness and flex for those starting out again. Last my tips for a great shave. Like all meticulous tasks take your time but go in orderly fashion. 1. Hot wet towel to the face 2. A good foamy shave cream like Rise Super foam lather, apply a moderately good portion warmed up under hot water 2 seconds than directly to beard. 3. Now guide your Merkur no applied pressure letting the weight of the razor do the work. 4. Rinse the blade frequently. You will feel like Joe Namath with blondes all around.Feather Hi-Stainless Platinum Double Edge Razor Blades 30 Ct
