The old style safety razor meets the new kid on the block<\/p><\/div>\n

Tonight Eric came into our bathroom to shave. He usually shaves in the shower, but has not in a few days. He had is Gillette Mach III in hand and I let him know that was not the proper instrument. I reached for a Muhle Sophist R44SR Classic 3-Piece Safety Razor. The Muhle razor is a wonderful razor using the very finest chrome plating on the market. The handle is made from high-grade resin which is turned from round rods and polished. It is a beautiful razor.<\/p>\n

For this shave I put in a Merkur Super blade for Eric. He proceeded to shave his face. His technique was a little difficult as he has never shaven with a safety razor. He was amazed at how close the shave was. He did get one nick on his chin area. I let him know that I had something to stop the bleeding. I got out the styptic pencil, ran it under some water and touched it to his wound. He immediately jumped back. I said, \u201cThere you go, it has stopped bleeding.\u201d His response was, \u201cYea, because you cauterized it.\u201d I guess he was not ready for the burn of fixing a close shave. I always have said, if it cannot cut you, it cannot possibly be giving you a close shave. At lease Eric has now experienced a close shave. Perhaps he will not venture into our bathroom to shave again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
