An excellent, "traditional" shave. The BB soap and cream make great superlather.

I was able to break the Eufros "Fougère" loop, but didn't actually wander too far away... This Dama de Noche is also addictive. The combination of a mildly sharp blade like the Astra SS and the Merkur 37C gives me close yet incident free shaves, so I'll think it twice before reaching for sharper blades or other razors in my cabinet. This Merkur is by far the DE that better suits my skin, out of the three that I own.

- Eufros Premium Tallow "Dama de Noche"
- Merkur 37C&Astra SS #2
- Omega 31052
- Speick Active&Eufros Neutro
