SMF

Just goes to show the dedication we all share to the art of wet shaving that we continue to participate in our forum despite being chased out of our own homes by the big dog with the spiked collar in the film Avitar

I like it.

Nuff said.

The Merkur logo reminds me this blade is up next on my rotation!

Vulfix cream is good stuff.....my six little samplers will last me forever!

I never had a chance to try the old Super Iridiums, but the current Polsilver Iridium is a very fine blade, indeed. Sharp and smooth.

Yes, very nice indeed

I have a hard enough time just keeping up with all the blades on THIS forum

Quite a show

For me, the Gillette Fusion (or whatever sub-model thereof) is the winner in this category. Others find it uncomfortable to use. (I don't know of anybody who finds it ineffective.) The cartridges for it are very expensive, but they also last significantly longer than older models - four or five tim...
