My Plisson horn-handled HMW12 is a very nice brush, and I do like the unusual fragrance of this soap. The Merkur 37G (C = chrome, G = gold) has been around a long time and remains a very good slant. Hoffritz was a first-rate knife store based in New York City that more or less collapsed in 1994. They tended to pick and offer top-of-the-line merchandise, and under the Hoffritz name (in a nie stainless steel block) they offer an OEM version of the Merkur 37C. The differences between the Hoffritz razor and the 37C were minor — the knurling was slightly different for example. I had one that now belongs to The Son, and I liked it a lot.
and today my 37G reminded me of that and of how amazed I was on using it — it being my first experience with a slant. Good memories.
Three passes to an exceptionally smooth result, a splash of Dark aftershave, and the day begins. I did achieve the soft, supple, smooth shave today, and that’s always nice.
