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.

It was tight, I cut myself during my second pass when I went against the grain. The shave is definitely close enough, just not as close as I'm used to, but my beard growth is really slow so I only need to shave once or twice a week.

    yeah I regularly go against the grain. Always finish up that way. Im worried there is something wrong with your shaver. Ive cut myself several times early on but every time the shaver had slightly loosened.
