Comments | It’s Wednesday so out comes the Wolfman loaded with a Personna Med Prep blade. The Rooney does a great job of making lather and all in all an excellent shave. |
Which Platinum blade? I had really great shaves with the dark blue box in my Lupo, but I haven’t tried the light blue one yet, partially because I didn’t like them in my other razors.Rating: 10/10

Fantastic shave...two days of growth...DFS/BBS. Superb results and an enjoyable experience. The Gillette Platinum blade works very well in the Lupo razors...will continue to use them in the rotation. My face and neck are smooooooth! I thought the Lime splash would go well with the Aquatic soap. CC Lime splash is a woodsy, subdued lime scent...almost seems like there's a cedar scent in the background of the lime that keeps it from being a bright, citrus, candy lime. It's a nice scent and would go with most citrus or aquatic scented soaps/creams. A quick note on the PAA Solar Flare brush...this is not one of those brushes that keeps the soap to itself. As I painted on the lather, it distributed it very easily and made that process so much easier. Not sure how much of that was the brush and how much the soap, but it worked great.
Happy Shaves, Everyone.
