Razor: Asylum 17-4
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: AKA Brushworx "Never Alone 2"
Soap: Arrefa Shaving Cream "Kentucky Bourbon"
AS 1: Witch Hazel
AS 2: Clubman Whiskey Woods
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,592

I bought this razor handle after the debacle at the machine shop that failed to cut the Straight Bar edge properly. The seller kindly included the head that they were refunded for. I use an O-Ring to adjust to get the exposure that was nonexistent and have to say that I get phenomenal shaves with it. I don't know how many shaves on this Wizamet without a lot of digging back in my Journal but just wow great shaves. Such a shame the machine shop dropped the ball somehow.

The Arrefa Shave Cream is a nice product for the price and sports of all things "Badger Tallow" Not sure what that brings to the table over other tallows but it works just fine. I know the Bear Tallow in some of their soaps I enjoy brings some extras to the mix when used but forget what all. It can be found on their website though. This is an okay scent but not one of my favorite Bourbon scented soaps and I do prefer soaps to creams. Honestly if it wasn't for the oddity of the Badger Tallow and use of beer when making, I probably would have moved this on already. All in all a great shave though and ready for a long work day. Have a great day Everyone !!
