Razor - Wolfman WR2 1.15
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - Leonidam "Molten Amber" 28mm HD 2-band badger fan
Cream - Crown Shaving Co
A/S - Stirling Eucalyptus Mint

Another fantastic shave with the Wolfman, and a lovely lathering experience with the brush and cream. Crown is maybe my favorite cream for its performance and scent, a creamy mint with a little eucalyptus that is excellent. It's one of the best performing creams I've used, very slick, dense, and cushiony. Leonidam brushes are typically set at 50mm, but I had this one set at 53mm for a little more splay, and boy is it cushy. I don't think it's truly gelled, but the tips are ridiculously soft, and this monster splays out with ultimate ease while retaining a nice medium backbone. A bit big for my face, but it was a pure joy to use. The Wolfman whisked away all the hair with zero drama, leaving me smooth and refreshed after a cooling blast from the splash. Great start to the week!
