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.

I'm about halfway through my second box. It took me about 10 7 years to get through the first box.

I agree about not knowing why people keep using the plastic disposable ones. Best I can see is a reluctance to change a habit and/or a fear of safety razors. But it's well worth the switch.

    Genuinely might just be unawareness. I have been using safety razors for a long time, but I was only introduced to it by a forum post somewhere long ago. Nobody I know personally (especially in the family) uses them. Stores in my area don’t stock razors or handles. It was just by chance that someone posted about them and that I saw that post that got me to switch.
