The 1904 Classic
Continuing my exercise of my razors having the Merkur Classic head, I move along to the 1904—and it looks as though I’m also taking a tour of my QED soap collection.
The Plisson Chinese Grey looks a little wind-whipped to one side: after rinsing it after the last shave and shaking it out, I failed to straighten the bristles. No matter: once wet, they assumed their normal shape, and this time I left them standing fulling upright to dry. The brush produced an excellent lather from the QED Grapefruit & Peppermint, and the 1904, with a Swedish Gillette blade, did a fine job. A splash of Blenheim Bouquet and I’m good to go, if a trifle late.
