Wednesday morning shave:

Pre-Shave	Warm Shower; Musgo Glyce Lime
Soap/Cream	Muhle Sandalwood Shave Soap
Brush	Semogue Owners Club Boar (White Acrylic handle)
Razor	Goodfellas Bayonetta
Blade	Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Aftershave	Cold water rinse; Alum Block; American AS Balm; Captains Choice Sandalwood AS Splash
Fragrance
Rating	8.5/10
Comments	One day growth. My first shave with the Bayonetta, recently acquired. I am happy to report that there are no alignment issues with my razor: https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/goodfellas-smile-bayonetta.647048/ The bead blasted finish on the brass does drag a bit, but so does my TRC Aluminum razor (used yesterday). I have residual irritation on the right side of my neck left over from Monday's shave, so I have been taking it easy there. That's to say I did one pass under the neck on that side. Nevertheless, the shave was very good. I'll be interested to see how it does the remainder of this week and when I have heavier beard growth. Three passes. No nicks. No cuts. No additional irritation. DFS. Cheers!

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Stirling Soap Bay Rum
Brush: Jequil & Corenveo 24mm
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89 - Knurled Handle
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (3)
Post shave: Pinaud Clubman
Rating: 10/10

So my wife wanted to buy me another razor as an early birthday present and I batted around a few ideas but settled on another Edwin Jagger because it's such an honest razor at a very good price. This morning's shave, the first with the new knurled handle EJ, was typically smooth and efficient. As many wonderful razors as I own, the EJ DE89 is one of my favorites and probably the best value out there. It literally never delivers a bad shave. Who can ask for more than that?
Thanks to Mrs. Lockback for giving me another reason to smile in the mornings ...

Brush: Varlet “Gaslamp Somerset” 29mm XD Classic
Blade: Perma Sharp (1)
Soap: Ethos “Tonka Bean” 🫘 F Base
Razor: WR2 Ti SB 1.25 w/ Timeless Ti Crown Handle

This was the absolute best shave of my last 6 shaves, there was and is a reason I had narrowed my razors down to one, for me it is the best razor made. It is nice to have variety sometimes, but when I come back to my Wolfman I am home.

For the next couple of shaves I am going to use the same soap with my other razors.


People were saying that Wolfman‘s are so expensive in US dollars my complete razor currently costs
$445.00.

The Tbird I just bought was $440.00
The Tiback when it goes to regular price will be $380.00

Uneventful shave, which is good for me. No surprises with the common trouble spots. Excess buffing with no irritation. The solution would be an open comb, but no titanium version yet. Still, very smooth with today's score...9.8/10

[Eric_75]

Pre-shave • King C. Gillette Face Wash

Soap • Arko

Bowl • CaYuen (Large)

Brush • Omega Evo Sapphire Blue

Razor • Mühle R41

Blade • Treet Dura Sharp (1)

*Warm Shower*

Aftershave • Thayers Unscented + Bootlegger's Arctic Lime Blast

Eye Gel • Neutrogena Hydro Boost

I went with the R41 this afternoon. It paired very well with a fresh Dura Sharp. Almost four days of growth knocked down. I had two tiny weepers on my chin but they disappeared in the shower. The Arctic Lime Blast is an excellent warm weather splash.

9.5/10

Have a blessed afternoon, friends.
