After being inspired by my buddy Alan Wiig<\/a>‘s razor, I wanted to go old-school. (Not as old-school as I went once in 2002<\/a>, but old-school nonetheless.) <\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, I acquired one of these, a Merkur Classic Razor<\/a>. I’ve decided to completely ditch my crappy and expensive Mach 3 in favor of the Merkur. I like the metallic and heavier body that it has versus the Mach 3, and I like its double-edged awesomeness. It cuts better, it’s easier to use, and is a hell of a lot cheaper per blade. And I can get refill blades just a few blocks away at the Shaver and Cutlery Shop<\/a> on Broadway. I’m still using shaving soap procured at Body Time<\/a>, in the other direction, on College Ave. (Thank you North Oakland independent merchants!)<\/p>\n

I continue to use the straight blade when I want to spent 20-30 minutes shaving on a weekend, but the Merkur is now my everyday razor. Farewell, Mach 3.<\/p>\n
