Another excellent shave.  I'm convinced that the older version of XPEC, with the parabens, makes better lather than the newer one.  The 0.80 Wolfman does not feel appreciably more aggressive to me than the 0.61, at least with the vintage blade.

Tibam titanium handle again works so well with average weight head like the R41-SLOC combo today . Fresh Voskhod tugs on the back of my head ATG as is typical of the R41, which in 2013 may have been a thing of wonder for its efficiency, now my wonder is why anyone still wants to use it given so many superior alternatives.
