Best shave of my life!

Wow! I have been shaving with my Merkur long handle for about a week or so now.

After a few shaves to get used to the new equipment I am now very comfortable with the new equipment.

I was struggling with using my left hand to shave the other half of my face :) Tonight was a different story! I installed a new blade, and something just "clicked". I had no problems, and I was rewarded with the best shave of my life! :)

Thanks to everyone on here for your posts! I have been doing plenty I reading in order to understand the little details of this whole process.

Glad you're enjoying your Merkur. DE's are in my rotation for a good reason - they work well (and I'm not ashamed to admit it) :)

I'm glad to hear that your shave went well. It should keep getting better from this point on.;)

I'm new to the SR world, but I have Merkur and Gillette DEs in my stock; they both give me great shaves.
