So this morning I found that both the Black Mamba and the Wolfman razors were loaded with fresh Viking's Swords - not a surprising discovery given that I had only yesterday installed the blades. I thought I'd do a side by side comparison. I used the Catie's Bubbles Midnight Dreary shave soap and following my normal routine set to work. Now this test may not be accurate or representative as I've had the Black Mamba for a couple of months and the Wolfman for a few days so I may not be fully up to speed with the Wolfman but I have used it 3 times now. Using LeisureGuy's method of describing razor performance I would put both razors in the Comfortable/Aggressive quadrant, however, within that quadrant I would have to place the Black Mamba further up on the Comfortable scale than the Wolfman. I would say they are very comparable efficiency wise but the Wolfman does feel more aggressive, i.e., not quite as comfortable compared to the Black Mamba. Both gave the desired BBS shave. Today, with the Viking's Sword, the Black Mamba gets the nod over the Wolfman. Stay tuned for Godzilla vs Mothra!!
Clearly I have more experimentation to do with blades in the Wolfman and I do need more time with it to better understand its nuances. Maybe I'll try the Viking's Sword challenge again in six months when I've had more opportunity to become familiar with the razor. I also really liked The Midnight Dreary soap and splash - I wasn't sure I would when I first got it but its growing on me and I think it might become a favourite.
