Thank goodness you are feeling better, Jim!
In that order, left to right. Sometimes I switch up on the order of application. |
Applied Brickell last today. |
Hi Jim,Tuesday delivered a good shave.
I am still not 100% recovered (sorry to report this). Working about half time (today from home). Still coughing some, etc. However, compared to a week ago I am much improved by any measure. For one thing, I feel almost normally intelligent again; for a while I felt like my brain was hitting on five cylinders, and I need all twelve. I can shave and shower and walk to the kitchen without stopping to rest, but I need to be working full time and know that's beyond me right now. This crud is really hanging on, but I believe I'm on course to beat it whatever it is.

The Chubby 2 Silvertip Badger is an incredibly soft two band. I like it well enough but it's not my favorite brush. I prefer a larger brush for one thing. Still, it's worth reaching for when looking for supreme softness (and adequate backbone/scrub).
Today's kit included the Cube 2.0 used in the shower and as a preshave. I've ordered three more of these things as I don't want to run out (or pay shipping). I believe it to be a much better preshave than any I've previously tried and most of those weren't worthless.
The Wolfman WR2 1.15 is a very capable razor. With enough work, and it allows me to do enough work without damaging my skin, I can get a very good, close shave. I'd say it's rather remarkable.
That said, do I next order a WR2 0.95, 1.05, 1.35, or 1.25? I can argue for any of these. Maybe I'll just stick with this one Wolfman?

My blade today was a flipped Wizamet SI, going strong.
I feel like my skin is a tad overdone at the moment, but only on the areas I did the most work, and even on those areas not too much. It's only been a few minutes since I shaved (long enough to write this). I'm not complaining and I assume my skin will feel fine in a half hour or so. I did a lot of work today.
All of that begs the question of which Wolfman to buy next (if I buy another). I'm not sure this 1.15 can be beat but there's really no way to be sure without buying others and doing the comparison.
Who knew saving money wet shaving would be so expensive?
Happy shaves,
Jim
Hi Jim,
Great looking brush. Also glad to hear you are enjoying the WR2 1.15SB. I shaved with mine this morning loaded with a Wizamet and it was terrific. Summertime and the living's easy.
Cheers,
It's Hedley
PS. Hope you are back to 100% soon.
I'll be posting my newest Wolfman in the next couple of weeks. Maybe it will give you some inspiration.Thank you.
Your help in my decision to try the 1.15 was and is much appreciated. Whether I'll try any other Wolfman razors is an open question, as is which one if I do, but I might just stick with the 1.15. I wouldn't say it's anything more than an excellent razor but it is an excellent razor.
I like it more than I thought I would.
- Smooth feeling during the shave
- Surprisingly efficient
- Allows enough work to achieve a very close shave without a bunch of skin damage
Happy shaves,
Jim

Not today's photo (couldn't get today's to move to my computer from my phone). Is today's kit! |
Usual post shave products. |
No complaints (other than still not being fully recovered or quite well).
Plenty of fluid; lots of rest; light physical activity within current limitations; and agonizing over your next Wolfman WR2 should do it

That leads me to think maybe my next Wolfman will be a 1.35.
