Milo Glad I could find this thread again . . . No longer have the Merkur, but still shaving the old fashioned way, even got into straight razor shaving for a while. Shoulder issues put the kibosh on that earlier this year. But I was thinking about how this thread got me started down the rabbit-hole, and wanted to say "thanks" to [MENTION=5643]payperview[/MENTION] for starting it off, and to [MENTION=1404]dinobot[/MENTION] for the link to B&B.
Toronto Pimp You must have a steady hand or a magnificently round head. Back of my head looks like a shar pei dog. I just end up with a blood bath. [ATTACH=CONFIG]2682[/ATTACH]D1318F6E-B65B-4F76-B1B2-83FABCC951C8.jpeg77.8 kB
Milo A few lumps on my noggin, but it is not as hard as you think. I had to stop because a shoulder impingement causes my hand to shake when raised and placed behind my head to shave. Using a safety razor keeps the wife from cashing in the insurance. These are my babies.

Wow. I didnt realize I was posting here in 2014. Been a quick 5 years.
GetBlaked I wish I had this thread in 2014 because I didn't buy my first safety razor until 2017. I like your collection Milo! Which is your favorite? I only have a Merkur
