So today I shaved, just now that is. If anyone knows me well enough they know that I am one that enjoys wet shaving, or classic shaving. I use a wonderful 34c Merkur safety razor from Germany, Proraso eucalyptus shaving cream from Italy, and a Rooney shaving brush from the UK– sounds fancy and all right?.. well the blades I am traditionally used to using are Derby Extra blades, they are cheap and work wonderfully, you can get 100 pack for 15 dollars on Amazon. Well for the past few weeks I haven’t had any of these Derby blades to use, and I never bought a 100 pack (until tonight of course). So I’ve been using these Merkur blades, by the same company that makes my razor and they absolutely suck. They are too sharp and leave your skin feeling bare as if they are taking off some skin along with them. Anyway, they’ve been working for the past few shaves I’ve had, but tonight I put a new one on my razor and it absolutely killed my face. I look fine tonight, but tomorrow I’m sure I’ll be sporting a nasty burn. So that’s my story. Interested in wet shaving? Let me know in the comments or via twitter or something and I’ll get around to making a post about wet shaving. Woo!
