No Open Comb November SOTD
Daily Double
Razor: SS Vector with @Rosseforp GTA handle
Blade: Kai Protouch MG (3)
Razor: Wolfman WR2 0.95 with @Rosseforp GTCB handle
Blade: 7 O'Clock Black (2)
Brush: Simpson PJ2
Soap: Shave Chaser CK-6
ASL: the "Veg"
Same setup as my last shave, this time switching sides with the Wolfman on the left side and the Vector on the right side.
I usually face lather, but used my Captain's Choice Aqua Marine bowl with my PJ2 and the mess it made reminded me of why I usually face lather.
The Shave Chaser, bowled a 300 today, the lather was awesome.
The PJ2, much better on the face than in the bowl, is very much becoming my favorite brush.
It might even be the best brush in the Universe.
The shave was much the same, first pass WTG with the Vector providing ample blade feel and audible feedback with every hair it leveled, the WR2 smoothly doing the same job with much less fanfare.
For the second pass the lather was rich and luxurious, the Vector finding more stubble on the ATG neck pass, the feedback even more pronounced as the stubble continued it's reduction on each buffing pass.
The WR2 does let you know the blade is there on the ATG pass, but smoother and more subtle.
The Vector is more nimble, but the WR2 is easier to drive. They both get the job done, and I even threw in a third, freestyle and WTG pass just to make sure the playing field was properly leveled and my neck was shaved as close as could be.
I got a nice warm burn from the Witch hazel with the "Veg" heating it up even more and the Nivea balm a very welcome finishing touch.
I give the Wolfman just the slightest edge in comfort during the shave, post shave comfort goes to the Vector.
The efficiency is a tough call, with the WR2 side feeling a frog's hair closer, but, with a bit more irritation than the Vector side.
I'm pretty sure this shave is close enough to last until after the Thanksgiving feast.

Excellent shave with my RR Lupo .72 with a GSB blade.
