Bought a Merkur 33C, a synthetic Parker brush, and a mühle soap bar thar I received today.
Not as close a shave as I’m used to, but my skin feels a lot less irritated than it used to after a shave. Cut myself twice, on my upper lip and on the underside of my chin.
It’s not that much longer. If the extra 3 or 4 minutes is that critical, and that’s using a soap and brush to make lather - you can use creams too, stop hitting the snooze and just get up already.
In any case, shaving is one of those activities us men can do to pamper ourselves every day. We need to learn from women that’s it’s OK to smell nice, and that jasmine scented shaving lather made in a warmed double shaving bowl with your favorite brush is a treat you should experience. You are worth it!
So guys, let’s stop looking a shaving as a chore that needs to be done. Instead, make your shave something to look forward to and enjoy! Start you day out right!
