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.

This channel convinced me to make the jump, years ago. https://youtu.be/-qSIP6uQ3EI

I still have an electric for a quick touch up, but proper shaves are with a Merkur Futur, Feather blade, Mühle badger brush and Taylor’s of Old Bond St. Sandlewood soap.

Random face moisturiser afterwards (still a good quality one, but I don’t have a preferred brand.)

I was skeptical about badger hair brushes VS my previous boar bristle, but it’s a noticeable improvement in the texture of the lather generated. Much finer bubbles.
