[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 51338"] I use a Merkur too; the blades do make a difference. I like Merkur blades which are sharp as hell. I got some westing something with the word sword inthem ( too lazy to get up and look ).. They are good, but not the quality of a merkur blade. I use a boar hair brush, currently shopping for another one with shave soap and lately trying out some glycerin which is good too, but I think I prefer the regular soap, sold at my local tobacco shop. Remember wet means wet, so keep reapplying if your're not saturated. For these razors, slow and easy wins the race Nice short strokes. If I rush, I butcher myself too. The bad thing is that if I'm in a hurry, I don't shave, which I haven't, have a decent beard going. For a big guy like me, I like a big heavy razor, which my Merkur is. I also have a tough beard, the kind that clogs up those triple to 5-blade modern razors. Just takeit slow. Shaving is almost ritualistic for me now. [/QUOTE]
