First Head and dome shave with my new Colonial Silversmith razor. In words of one syllable, WOW!! I had the opportunity to shave with this razor back in early September as part of a loan swap with a friend on another board (Karve for Silversmith). We each shaved with the others razor for two weeks and then returned them. I’d forgotten how smooth and efficient the razor is! It looks like it may become my favorite DE. Effortless BBS!

Tom-X/Derby Premium. Plenty of blade feel on medium setting, close as I expect from the Tom-X.

Rooney Beehive Ivory Finest (24/50)

Wolfman WR2-SB Mirror-Polished/Bob's Razor Works Bull Mastiff
Gillette Platinum 'Swede' (1)
Hemingway Accoutrements aftershave

I am disappointed in how short a time the cream is lasting.  It is going much faster than any of my other creams or soaps, while the matching aftershave is lasting much longer.  The WR2 0.95 seems to be a bit smoother and significantly less aggressive than the WR1 0.61, even with a first-use blade, while still giving a BBS shave.
