The shave lineup today inspired me, and I'm naming this brush The Mountain. This knot is so. freaking. good. I think it's as good as a Shavemac 2-band silvertip, which it reminds me a lot of. Such great backbone, but the softest "natural" (ie, not gelled) tips imaginable. I dig it so much.
Three shaves with the Wolfman now, and every one has been a perfect shave. I just can't believe this razor lives up to the hype. My face is so freaking smooth right now, and my complexion is excellent. It feels mild enough that I can take certain strokes in difficult spots that I usually only do with milder razors, but it shaves as close as just about anything I've used. Stupid hype, all being true and stuff. Coincidentally, I was just contacted by Wolfman to finalize my order. I had the same specs as this one confirmed except I had the handle hollowed. I'm really interested to see how I end up liking it with the lighter weight. But this configuration is admittedly pretty much perfect. Unreal.
I’m really digging that CG handle, it goes very well with that head. Nice jobGillette Slant v. Fatip lo Storto

A good shave tonight! The WK gave me a thinnish lather, but plenty slick. It was my first use of this brush and I misjudged the amount of water it held so I think that’s what was going on with the lather. The brush I think I’m going to really like: soft on the face, dense, plenty of backbone, no skritch.
Good to see a fellow shaver using a DR Harris brush. I also own one (H3 best badger), and find it excellent.

Hi, @Jens! Yes, indeed, a very nice rose scent. Description here: white - https://whollykaw.com/product/shaving-soap-chypre-rose-concerto/. I checked Connaught, but it doesn’t look like they carry it. However, Wholly Kaw’s site says they will ship internationally. Good luck!That does look like a very nice soap indeed ... Rose scent, judging by the picture..? I wonder if it retails in Europe..?
I have no idea why the link keeps adding “white - ” I’ve deleted twice but it still appears. It does still seem to lead to the Wholly Kaw site, however.Hi, @Jens! Yes, indeed, a very nice rose scent.
