RAZOR : Merkur 37C SLANT - first shave ever
BLADE : POLSILVER Super Iridium - Thanks to Warhawk PIF
BRUSH : B&B Essentials Boar Brush
CREAM : RazoRock Classic Cream Soap Sample - Thank you WCS

1) Hot shower, Nivea Scrub, American Crew Preshave Oil, Head lather RazoRock, Bowl lather RazoRock while letting head sit
2) Shave: 2 Pass + Touchup
3) Cold water rinse, Ice Cube Rub, Witch Hazel, Aqua Velva Blue Ice, Dove Facial Moisturizer

RESULTS: Excellent shave. Warhawk knows his stuff. The 37C is an excellent headshaver. I took the recommended long strokes and kept a good angle. Overall shave: 91 / 100. Nearly a perfect, BBS shave. Zero irritation.

You put the 37C on your head for its maiden voyage?

I recently used the 39C and the slant is indeed one heck of a razor!

The Slant is a venerable razor. I like that blade combination, too. Congratulations.

Thanks guys. I'm pumped to get home from work and put it to use.

As I've stated in other posts, it's a very smooth razor. With long steady glides, it provided audio feedback similar to my previous SE experience: GEM Damaskeene.

I'm a big fan!
