A hefty, compact, awesome razor. Certainly not for newbie wet shavers; but, once you get your technique honed try this one. Gives a very close shave with little effort. I have done a couple WTG passes and it's a closer shave than my Edwin Jagger DE89 (which is also an awesome tool) gives when I add XTG and ATG passes. With the 37c, you really need to be careful under your nose and around your upper lip. If you're not careful, you can get bit badly. I use Personna Red and Gillette 7 O'Clock (Green and Yellow) blades in this razor. Finish your shave with a wet alum block, a cold water rinse, and a healthy handful of Clubman's Original or Bay Rum After Shave splash...and you are go to go!
