SoS: March 9, 2015 - March 15, 2015

I am interested in the Wolfman OC razor. What do you think of the Wolfman OC? How does it compare to other razors that you use?

 

03/13/15
Prep – MR GLO
Razor – Gillette New Long Comb
Blade – Persona Lab Blue (3)
Brush – RV with TGN Finest
Lather – MdC
Post - Witch Hazel and Dove AS Balm



Very good 2 and 1/2 pass shave this morning. The New LC continues to deliver consistently good shaves with no irritation. As usual the MdC soap does not disappoint. Happy Friday and have a great weekend.

 

Friday

Soap: The Shave Den lanolin, sensitive
Brush: Mühle VIVO black fibre
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Super Iridium
After: Cold rinse, CeraVe lotion

 

3/13/2015 Lucky Friday the 13th

Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: GE Jones Shake Sharp, Friodur Inox 70 1/2 straight razor
Blade: Pol Silver Super Iridium (4)
Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair
Soap: Cella
After: Home made ASB, Aqua Velva Musk after shave
Cologne: Prada - Amber Pour Homme Intense

It is Friday the 13th and it is looking more and more like spring. The Vie Long brush did a great job turning the Cella into a wonderful lather. The lather was thick and slick. The Shake Sharp and the Friodur did a good job knocking down the stubble. The AV brought some protection and the Prada will have me smelling great all day long. All in all, it was a 2 pass Darn Fine Shave.

Have a blessed day!

 

Hey Neighbor! James from Wolfman is a great person to work with. He modified mine and made the blade gap slightly bigger. I have been shaving with my Mongoose and Progress lately and had enjoyed shaving with my Progress set at 3 not too mild but not too aggressive that perfect feeling where the blade slices of the hair so well that a 2nd pass is barely needed but not too aggressive where you get nicks or weepers. That's where the Wolfman OC is at. First shave this morning with it and was happy with the aggressiveness of it. Beautiful razor, James makes great razors.

Hope this helps!!!

Friday SOTD

 

Thanks so much. I am really looking to add a very nice stainless OC razor to go with the Goose. Did you shave with it before James modified the razor? Sorry to ask so many questions but there is just not a lot of information on these razors since they are so new.

 

No worries that's why we have the Den for to gather knowledge. I have not shaved with one of his razors til this morning. I had emailed him about the availability and the question of aggressiveness came up and I describe how I like my razors and he suggested a wider blade gap. The regular Open Combs are a tad milder from what I understood.

 

Schick I2 razor
Personna blade
FS Best brush
Williams SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel/Sage mix
M&L Florida Water Cologne

Another dandy Williams shave. The FS Best brush made a fantastic lather and now I'm ready to go

 

Thanks so much. I will email James and see about getting on the list for one of his future production runs. Have a great weekend.

13 mar 2015
Soap - Maggards London Barbershop
Brush - WD Silvertip 24/50
Razor - Merkur 34C
Blade - Ladas (3)
AS - Pinaud Clubman Vanilla
Couple of new items today. First the soap. The good: Lathered easily and provided good protection. The bad: The smell. At first it was OK, not bad not good but by the third pass I became nauseated by the aroma....it was either hurry up and finish and hopefully not get sick, or wash it off ...I hurried and finished. So sadly, although the performance is good, the scent is not for me...at all. Finished with Clubman vanilla and found it pleasant, very subtle and will make its way in my rotation.
So in all fairness to Maggards, they are still my #1 supplier but won't be buying at least this flavor of soap.

 

I have to ask. Where did you find that beautiful handle for your Fatip?
