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.

Yeah, I had looked into safety razors years ago, but as the price gap was bigger back then I dismissed them.

Now I paid the same price for this handle, and the blades cost next to nothing. Only a bit of a learning curve.

    I bought a cheap metal safety razor for like $10 and a pack of 100 blades for under $10 like a decade ago and am finally getting down to the last dozen or so blades. So less than $20 for a decade for the hardware and I think I spent more on shaving gel during that time.

    You can soend more, but really don't need to.
