when i came down to south carolina, even though i hadnt touched it in years, i brought a bag of blades along for the ride ( hoarding is such a terrible disease

). I had forgotten I even had the bag, but yesterday when looking for something else there it was sitting at the bottom of a basket. I opened it up to see what was inside....some light horse and other gillettes, some israeli's a bunch of other brands and one pack of merkurs. light bulb....i must try one of these again, and I did.
The blade was just as harsh as it was when i stopped using them several years ago ( my theory is they changed the manufacture process), but, but BUT.....closest shave Ive had in years. My skin felt fantastic. The harshness is what it is, however the end result may prove to make it worthwhile dealing with. Will definitely be using the merkur again and who knows it might bring me back full circle to where i started
