Well the battle of the slants continues and today I wanted to see just how the Merkur 37C would do against the iKon X3. The X3 provided two very smooth shaves right out the gate and was quite impressive. Loaded up with the same Super-Max Blue Diamond as the X3 and off we went.

Today’s soap of the day was Fine Italian Citrus and man do I love this soap. Great performer and the scent is wonderful. It lasts forever and I don’t believe there has ever been a time when it didn’t just lather bomb at load up. Synthetic, Badger or Boar have no issues with this soap. Today’s brush Wild West Brushworks - “Elway” with a 26mm Tuxedo knot. Pics don’t do it justice.

Wonderful two pass shave today and as with the X3 it was WTG and ATG. Smooth but not quite as smooth as the X3. Next up will be the Sledgehammer 39C.

It’s Friday! The week draws to a close and my your BBQs be hot and your Brews ice cold! Happy shaves all!

Friday, 7/19/19:

Razor - Above the Tie Atlas, R1 medium solid bar plate
Blade - Shark Super Chrome (3)
Bowl - Captain's Choice, Magma
Brush - PC Woodcraft maple burl handle, 24mm "Super Silvertip" knot
Soap - Chiseled Face, Ghost Town Barber
Aftershave - Supply Co., Arenella Coast

Once again, the ATT just shines. What a great razor. I'm very happy I picked it up. And I was finally happy with the performance I got from the PC Woodcraft brush today. The Chiseled Face soap is soft enough that I didn't bother blooming it, and I loaded the brush for 20+ seconds. With that, I had a ton of soap in the brush and got a truly excellent lather. That soap is awesome: very thick, creamy, great glide, smells freaking amazing, the whole bit.
