SOTD "FREE WEEK" August 17th - August 23rd, 2020

Saturday, 8/22:

Razor - Wolfman WR2 1.15
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - Leonidam "Sultan" 26mm silvertip
Soap - Grooming Dept Ambrosia
A/S - Brickell unscented

The smoothness returns! Slipped an Astra SP on its 4th use in, and gone were the slightly rough shaves of the past few times with the Wolfman. It was like magic. The razor was helped along by a wonderful lather from the soap that ended up fully hydrated and optimized with no water additions after loading. The brush was spot on. Davide uses really high quality knots and it shows. The soap scent was uber enjoyable, defying my expectations. When I first smelled it off the tub, it smelled like honey and funk! Once lathered, I got notes of honey, amber, spiced apple, and just an undertone of funk that together all actually worked! Probably a better fall scent, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The shave was crazy smooth, and my face was super clean and comfortable with no nicks. This is the blade for this razor.

Ah spectacular shave today.
BBS and comfortable just in one pass plus touch ups. I’ve hardly ever used this razor. It’s sat in a box for years with other razors that I rarely use. I will keep using this blade....it was set aside for a few days. I am pleased.

Razor: Parker Semi-slant
Blade: Astra SP (#2)
Cream: Castle Forbes Lavender
Post: Alum followed by RazoRock King Louis aftershave splash and wax followed by alum and My Nik is Sealed and followed by Nivea Sensitive Cooling Balm (!)

Well, this was one of the best scented shaves ever—wonderful software! But. But, I don’t exactly know what I did, but the right side of my neck had some serious razor burn and a weeper that wouldn’t stop. The weird thing was the first alum pass was fine—nothing unusual. A few minutes later though and watch out!
