I came home on leave last week and my friend who also wetshaved decided to compare notes and kits. He game my Merkur 33c a try and I made a pass with his strait and finished up with a feather loaded Merkur slant using dagger cream(very nice scent btw) and tried out his C&E nomad ASB(also very nice stuff) by the end of the evening we worked out he really liked my 33c and I liked his slant so he now is the proud owner of a 33c and I have a new slant and Millard TTO. Nothing like spending time with friends playing video games, watching movies, swapping stories, and ending on a good shave.
