Razor: SS Vector with @Rosseforp GTA handle
Blade: Kai Protouch MG (2)
Razor: Wolfman WR2 0.95 with @Rosseforp GTCB handle
Blade: 7 O'Clock Black
Brush: Shavemac 22/50
Soap: Shave Chaser CK-6
ASL: Aqua Velva

With almost two weeks worth of stubble I wanted to give these two razors a dance, the Wolfman on the left side, and the Vector on the right.

The first pass was WTG and the WR2 swept through thirteen days worth of stubble like it wasn't there, while the Vector needed much more rinsing, particularly the center of the razor.
The clogging wasn't as bad as it was with my New LC, but I did take the Vector apart once to clear out some hair stuck in the center.

The second pass was ATG and while the Vector took more of a delicate touch, I got careless with the Wolfman and got bit!
It was one of my last finishing passes and didn't start to bleed right away, but I stopped it with a touch from the styptic pencil.

The Witch hazel felt all nice and cozy and the Aqua Velva delivered a nice menthol blast with the Nivea balm just as slick as could be. No post shave irritation at all.

Pretty darn close shave it was. Two pretty darn different razors too.

The Vector gets the edge in efficiency, but the WR2 gets the edge in ease of use and smoothness.
