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 have the cheapest Gilette, and am using it for a number of years now. Have used about 7 or 8 replacement blades.

My experience is that you only cut yourself when the blade starts to become blunt. So I try to replace the blade just before that :)

I only use some shaving cream (cheapest at the supermarket), and shave before I hit the shower, where the shaving cream is flushed away. No after shave or other stuff from the cosmetic industry.
