Mike's Natural Soaps Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper :: Wolf Whiskers/Shavemac 2-band Silvertip :: Above the Tie Kronos SE2 :: Pitralon Polar

First use of PannaCrema Nuàvia Verde (sample). More of a cream than a soap but it did have a nice post shave feel to it.

Razor: Timeless .95 OC w/Timeless Knurled Handle
Blade: Personna 74 Tungsten Steel (25)
Brush: Shavemac Zebra Honeycomb 2 Band
Soap: Reef Point Soap Tranquility
Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Capri
Bowl: Junichi Tanaka Scuttle

Very good shave with these tools. The Timeless .95 OC is a fantastic razor period and with the Personna Tungsten Steel blade just improves the razor if that is possible. This blade is truly amazing. The Shavemac Zebra with their 2 Band is a work of art. All of the Reef Point Soaps I used this month performed outstanding.
I'll have a new lineup starting tomorrow.

Noire , semperfi 45 , & Number Six , lovely photos, gentlemen!  

Thank you very much Celestino.

Stunning photo Celestino.

Asylum Evolution Razor
Feather Platinum
Santa Maria Novella v3
Paladin PK-47 in Butterscotch Marble

Almost 47 years into wet shaving, and I learn something new every day. Was watching some YouTube shaving videos, and found one that emphasized how important the packaging of the products was to the shave.

I had NO idea!

Although the shave today was BBS with no irritation, I found myself thinking all day about how that plain blue cardboard box took away from my enjoyment of the Asylum Evolution. And the beautiful lather produced by the Paladin PK-47 was wonderful, but please, a black cardboard tube? Now the SMV, with heavy cardboard stock and gold lettering, I'm sure that's why my post-shave feel is so outstanding.

I may have to rethink my Wolfman Razors, as I looked at those plain white cardboard boxes and wondered how the Wolfman could possibly shave so well.

Live and learn!
