The stories in mind I dared today and initially very carefully shaved for the first time so that fear was completely free !!!
Even with the Merkur blade, which I do not particularly like in my other Rasierhobeln was shaving a poem.
Not a single interface, no razor burn and after the first round a super thorough result.
The Merkur 37c has my 500 and my Progress 42c / 1904 bandage on the bench.
