Saturday, 8/22:
Razor - Wolfman WR2 1.15
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - Leonidam "Sultan" 26mm silvertip
Soap - Grooming Dept Ambrosia
A/S - Brickell unscented
The smoothness returns! Slipped an Astra SP on its 4th use in, and gone were the slightly rough shaves of the past few times with the Wolfman. It was like magic. The razor was helped along by a wonderful lather from the soap that ended up fully hydrated and optimized with no water additions after loading. The brush was spot on. Davide uses really high quality knots and it shows. The soap scent was uber enjoyable, defying my expectations. When I first smelled it off the tub, it smelled like honey and funk! Once lathered, I got notes of honey, amber, spiced apple, and just an undertone of funk that together all actually worked! Probably a better fall scent, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The shave was crazy smooth, and my face was super clean and comfortable with no nicks. This is the blade for this razor.
