I woke up this morning and saw that the down payments for Operation Moarteen are rolling in. It feels so good that it has now entered the real phase where we don't just discuss plans, but things are finally happening 😊

Let me whisper of a dream of Moarch Madness with Moar Boar and Moarteen.

The Bismarck is a great razor. It tries to look fancier than it is (cheap gold wash and plastic scales) which is not something that inspired a sense of quality in me, so I was sceptical when I picked it up at a great price on a local eBay competitor. It has since thoroughly convinced me. The geometry is spot on, the steel takes a nice edge and holds it well, and the big full hollow round point geometry is very comfy.

It's one of those razors that invites you to change BBS everywhere and doesn't punish your for it.
