This is my 5th and final shave with the Wolfman/Wizamet Combo. I probably could get a few more shaves out of this blade – but I don’t want to take a chance—a very close, smooth shave. Today’s brush is a B&B Essential Boar – Sue Edition. This little boar brush gives some big results. It does an excellent job of making lather. This is the 53rd use of the vintage Williams soap. The soap continues to excel. A perfect BBS shave. Have a great day and week, folks.

When dialed in, I find the Reserve base hard to beat.

1st use of this matching soap & splash set. I must say, I love the unique scent...kinda of bitter-sweet herbal and green tea..ish. The lather is brilliant...rich, thick, creamy, and slick!!
The shave with this razor is always great. Today was no different...stropped on the roo leather and enjoyed 3 buttery smooth passes for a bbs-dfs finish...

I don't know how you make that ice-cream cone kind of lather. Always reminds me of the scene where Kato makes a real good Latte in The Green Hornet

This is the first time I saw this razor, Rocnel Sailor. Looks nice and solid, as if no compromise was made in designing and manufacturing it
