Razor - Wolfman WR2 1.15
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - Shavemac MB2 24mm 2-band silvertip
Soap - Pannacrema Nuavia Blu
A/S - Proraso Blue
A very luxurious shave using this scent. Lather was nice, and the brush felt great. I so wish the same knot was in a different handle though; tough for me to grab this one. But man, that scent just made the shave. Very good slickness had the Wolfman gliding with ease over my skin. The combo of soap and Proraso Blue at the end is unbeatable. Fantastic close results, super smooth soft skin, yet again.

Whoa! Now Tuesday is a pretty average day in that the weekend is a close but fleeting memory and we are way too far from the next weekend. However, “epic” can still happen and today’s shave is a perfect example when all the right components fall into line it can go from “meh” to “wow” pretty quickly.
Razor of choice today the Merkur Progress set to 1 1/2 and loaded with a fresh Voskhod. The Voskhod is my reference blade and I put it in every new to me razor. I know what it can do and what it can’t and so I can tell pretty quickly if a razor is going to work for me or not because the blade “variable” has been removed from the equation. The Progress as with my Mergress is an exceptional razor with heft and good looks in abundance. Very rarely does it ever go past 2 on the dial. Smooth and comfortable.
Soap of the day RazoRock Black Bay which is just an awesome smelling soap. Great performer also but a little thirsty at times to dial in a really slick lather. No such issues today as the EJ synth had no issues whipping up lots of lather.
A brilliant three pass BBS shave achieved. Topped off with the matching Black Bay AS and a spritz of Guerlain Oud Essentiel ...WOW! That folks was an epic shave!
