| Comments | This is the fourth and final shave with the Wolfman WR2 with a Personna Lab blade. The shave was good, and I may have been able to get another shave or two with this combo. However, the blade is losing its sharpness and I decided to toss the blade and move on to a different razor and blade tomorrow. This is the fourth use of the Haslinger Sandalwood soap. Today, I switched to a boar brush: the B&B Essential Boar. The brush worked nicely in the small container where I placed the Haslinger puck. It amazes me how much lather this brush can hold. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks. |
Morning shave - 5/2/24
Razor: RazoRock Mentor
Blade: Derby Premium (4/5) (4)
Soap: Palmolive Sensitive Shave Cream
Brush: Omega 81052 Banded Boar
Aftershave: Clubman Pinaud
Rating: 9.5/10, DFS+
Not as close as yesterday's shave, but I have not irritation either so I consider that a win. It was a very easy shave. I actually bowl lathered for the first time in a very long time and I still am bad at it. I might just do that for a bit to get better at it and to help break in my boar brush. It is a bit rough to face lather with. Very respectable shave.
