Hello friends
Rainy day, 17°C: perfect for Tabac! I took my Green Cult 2.0 plate II and started Wizamet. It matched…Semogue SOC Mistura, wonderful as always.

Modern May for Wednesday -

Razor: 'Merica
Blade: Zorrik (3)
Pre-shave: Proraso white
Lather: Proraso green
Aftershave: Nivea Sensitive Cool balm (with menthol powder)

The Proraso soap isn't a top performer for me, but the pre-shave is good. Without the pre-shave I would probably get irritation using the soap alone. Got a good shave with the pre-shave underneath it, though.

Modern May was fun. Enjoy your shaves!

I finished up Modern May with a lovely Wolfman shave. It's been a mixed bag month... too much travel but getting new teeth as a result. Too many cramped, long plane rides... the longest being 13 hours in the cattle car section of the plane.... yet seeing a million dollar view for 6 weeks in a row.

I had some great shaves while we were in Bali with either my Green Cult 2.0 Level 2 or my ATT X1 AC Slant razor but it was nice to be back home to more familiar surroundings and the comfort of my SV Brushes and today... the Wolfman WR2 0.95 with 3.7 Hybrid 90mm hollow handle, all in Bronze.

Last day of Modern May. Shaved. Now watching animé. Used more soap than yesterday and used lots of water. Somehow, my whiskers felt tougher with the richer lather. Got better at going lighter. Not perfectly between my Adam’s apple and chin, but otherwise improved. Happy Razor Fun Time for the win!

Thank you, @jason2 !
