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.

Supposedly it sharpens the blade(s), similar to the oldschool way of using a piece of leather to accomplish the same thing. Move the blade up the underside of your forearm (where there's no hair), in the opposite direction of how you would normally shave.

IDK if it actually works but it makes me feel better.
