1950s Merkur 37. Back then they didn’t use the c or g add-on, all razors had silver handle and chrome head. Mine the baseplate separated from the handle, way over tightened by a previous owner. Nothing a bit of superglue couldn’t fix.
The Merkur 37 is still the slant I compare all others to. There’s those that are better, there’s a lot that don’t come near. I utterly love this model.

Oumo Brush SHD G5 26mm and Martin de Candre Agrumes:
Used the new Oumo Brush SHD G5 26mm this morning. It's not a subtle thing, no it fits comfortably in the hand, hefty in size and plenty of backbone. Martin de Candre Agrumes loaded, that's pretty much done and then lather in the Grail. Well that takes a bit of attention, but then I had a bucket of foam and a nicely filled brush. The application of the lather goes smoothly, the brush gives back its contents easily. I have brushes that want to keep everything they have eaten. This one does not have that problem. The tips of the bristles are beautifully soft. The black colour with gold flakes is also a fine look for a classic shaving tool. In short, this G5 is definitely an improvement in the field of synthetic brushes.
Blade and razor:
Used the Rapira Chrome stainless for the 1st x.
A fresh Rapira Chrome stainless was up for use. In the Mulcuto Schrägschnitt (synthetic) this Rapira Chrome stainless is fine for a nice smooth shave.
Result: BBS.
Finally: splashing and rubbing with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Arko Nem Avocado ASB and Pinaud-Clubman Citrus Musk Eau de Cologne gives a nice citrusy and somewhat worn scent in the end.
