Merkur 37C + BIC Chrome Platinum (1): wow. there is a reason everyone copies this design, it is great. but the blade, it surprised me, I didn't really like it in the Lupo, but in this razor it is the sharpest thing I ever tried, no slowing down on the trouble spots either. I haven't felt a thing or heard audible feedback, I couldn't feel the blade in the razor. If you ask me now, it is sharper than a feather, and it is so smooth you won't feel a thing. During the 2nd pass I got a nick and some "dots" as weepers, I have not felt those either. This blade made a silent killer from the 37C. Anyone who did not find the 37C efficient enough, try it with this blade.
Used my little green Omega boar to face lather Proraso green; shaved with a Derby Extra in my Fatip Open Comb Slant. I loaded a bit more soap for this shave, giving plenty of lather for 2 passes plus touchups. The shave itself want well, delivering a DFS.
