| Comments | Going with a new razor and blade today. Yesterday I used the RR Stealth Slant and Kai blade and with the last pass, I could feel the blade giving way. Today’s razor is the Wolfman WR 2 SB 1.05 paired with a Personna Medical Prep blade. That combo always results in a close shave and it followed through today. The brush today is a Chubby II in best. It did a nice job of making lather. The MdC is on its 75th use. A perfect shave. Have a good one, folks. |

I’ve been using synthetics for quite a while. I didn’t pay enough attention to how much water this big boar will carry. I ended up with lather that was way too thin. Still a comfortable, irritation free shave

SV Saturday
Hello friends
Saturday dawned overcast. I thought it would be the perfect time for an SV Desert Vetiver shave and debuting the Green Cult 2.0 base plate IV that arrived yesterday. I took it easy, as I knew that a Gap of 1.05mm and an Exposure of 0.20mm would be aggressive. As I'm a fan of the R41 and prefer to use it riding the cap, I soon realized that with GC 2.0 this would not be the best way. I intuitively tried to find the right angle, until I adapted very well to the steep angle and started riding the bar.
What a shave!
Very efficient without being too aggressive. I loved. I think that in the next few attempts, more sure of myself, I will easily arrive at a splendid BBS.
To go with it, the old and always good Omega 48 Pro that I soaked overnight, a new Astra SP and Malizia Uomo.
On this trip I invited the great The Nat King Cole Trio.

Have a nice weekend and great shaves.
Cheers!

An excellent shave.
I've just promoted my Knockout to Top Favorite Closed Comb. That gives me three top favorites. The other two are my NEW RFB Open Comb and my Flat Bottom Tech (straight/solid) Safety Bar. All of them vintage.
Happy shaves guys.
