Rich Man Shaving ‘Red Forge’ w/UltraLUX

PAA The Beach Aftershave and Cologne
I picked up this Wapi razor from Ken Rupp off a forum back in 2008. It is a post war Polish surgical razor that is somewhere between a wedge and a quarter hollow. The blade is 5/8ths carbon steel so with it’s grind puts on a super sharp edge that lasts. The scales are stainless steel and are not completely the ideal weight for balancing this as a straight shaver but I’ve never really had issue as some have reported.
A really terrific shaver.
The Rich Man Shaving brush created a lather that just wouldn’t quit.
The post shave with PAA ranks right up at the very top with the soaps I have used.

Rooney Emillion 1 Porcelain Finest (24/48)
XPEC Unscented shaving cream (v.1) + a few sprays of Demeter Almond to the lather
Wilkinson Bonded System (9)
Roger & Gallet l'Homme aftershave

An excellent shave, especially for an old single-blade cartridge razor. Like with the 'Sticky,' Wilkinson hit upon a great design with this razor. The original version of the XPEC, with parabens, made wonderful lather, given a toasted almond tone by the Demeter spray and balanced well by the aftershave.
