New face knife

JW_Halverson:
Folks in here tend to have strong opinions on knives and low tolerance for poor quality. I am no exception.  Any knife I chose to hold to my own throat and face needs to be respectable. I am at the age that my eyesight and steadiness is not where it used to be and I only rarely take out my fine Solingen straight razor and the whole happy horsecrap of multi blade disposables has always rankled me.

Recently a friend referred me to his discovery....fine made double edged safety razors. I ended up purchasing a simple three piece German machined Merkur. I ordered 30 blades to go with it along with a cake of better quality shaving soap.

What a difference! There was a short learning curve, mostly regarding holding the proper angle since the head does not pivot. The shave is every bit as good as my best straight razor shave with far less irritation that I have ever gotten from ANY brand of disposable multi blade. Been shaving for a month with it now, and not a single nick!

Marc St Louis:
