"I use an open comb Merkur, and I like my results. If I get lazy with it, I'll get a nick or two, but none usually, just a close shave. I've never used another DE before, as I only made the switch a few months back."

If you apply too much pressure you might get the skin into the grooves and burn your face a bit, but without weight there shouldn't be a…"

William Smith replied to Jeffrey Andresen's discussion Open Comb in the group Real Shaving"I switched to a current production open comb 15c Merkur from my mid 1960s vintage Gillette Adjustable a month ago and I found I got superior shaves with next to no nicks and I have not had any trouble with razor burn since the switch over."

Jeffrey Andresen commented on Matthew Jones's group Real Shaving"I tried that scrubbing bubbles cleaner on my razors, made them nice and shiny and gets into all the nooks and crannys, also just rinses away after.
I then just give a disinfectant bath in alcohol."

Jeffrey Andresen replied to Bryan Heasty's discussion Soap or Cream?? in the group Real Shaving"Thanks a ton for that site. Very helpful."
Jeffrey Andresen replied to Shaun Daws's discussion Let's see your razor in the group Real Shaving"I love it now that they make a triple blade cartridge for it, much easier to rinse but requires a lot more care until you get used to it. Nothing bleeds quite like a head wound. :)"
Jeffrey Andresen commented on Ryan's group Man Bags"I have 2 of those polaroid 100 land cameras, they just stopped making the film this year. There was talk of another company picking up the rights to produce the film so many people bought up remaining supplies to tide them over. They are wonderful…"
