“Hi Arron, I’ve submitted a few questions already asking in regards to the place of razor blades in my DE Merkur 34c the place one aspect appears to shave properly however the different aspect hardly in any respect. I’m not sure if the blades are a ‘duff’ batch with holes within the improper place or if that is a frequent downside and care should be taken to centralise the blade.
Anyway I’ve just lately purchased the Merkur slant as an experiment and with provided Merkur razor blade I get the identical problem, and customarily poor shave (1st time). I repeated the shave the next morning with a feather razor blade and though higher, nonetheless the preliminary problem. So 2 questions I assume, 1 – blade positioning on the razor and a couple of – is there any totally different approach to utilizing the Merkur slant? Thanks, Roy”
