My birthday was earlier in the week and my family bought me a new Omega synthetic brush and an open comb Merkur razor effectively doubling my hardware from the 1 brush/1 razor stockpile I was sporting. It's the 15C, and I dig it. It's a small razor, but it works nicely and I've gotten 2 very nice shaves from it. The brush works very well, makes a good lather, seems to perform wonderfully so far.
