I consistently get extremely smooth shaves from this vintage Merkur white bakelite slant — particularly when shaving a two-day stubble. RazoRock’s Zi’ Peppino shaving soap is an excellent shaving soap with a wonderful fragrance, and the lather I made with the Rooney Victorian shown was extremely good. Even so, I want to replicate the shave but with Milksteak just to see what it will be like. No smoother, I imagine, but perhaps a bit more softness of the shaved skin.
Three passes and a splash of Zi’ Peppino and the week begins auspiciously.
