4/4 SOTD
Razor: RazoRock Lupo .72
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: Maggard 2-band badger.
Soap: Gentleman's Nod Sir Arthur
Aftershave: Gentleman's Nod Sir Arthur
First run with the new Lupo 72 that finally came in. I ordered it the same day as the Sir Arthur set and it arrived yesterday. I like the looks of it, as well as the low profile head and the fact that it covers the tabs on the side of the blades. I'll be using it exclusively for a bit to get used to it, but the first shave was favorable. Fairly mild but still efficient, I was able to pull off a 2 pass with clean up BBS, though I got careless and it bit my upper lip right under my nose. Still, the shave was good and it shows great potential. And, as always, the soap and AS smelled AMAZING!
5/5 SOTD
Razor: RazoRock Lupo .72
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: Sorrentino Turquoise
Soap: Ethos Grooming Colonia w/Ice Dragon
Aftershave: Ethos Grooming Colonia
I ordered some Ice Dragon from Frank and it came in today, so it was necessary to use it for the shave. I added a couple drops to the brush and face lathered. It reminds me a bit of THB's Creeper soaps, as there was not much cool at first, but it built up over time until it was more intense for the amount used than I thought it would be. It worked great, and I can see this being a staple in the den during the summer months. Second shave with the Lupo .72 and it was even better than the first. Got a solid BBS with two passes and a bit of clean up. It felt a bit more intuitive today, and of course the performance and scent of the software was outstanding. I've been really tempted to pull the trigger on a bottle of AdP Colonia Intensa to replace the one that was tragically shot in the drive by a ways back, and every time I use this soap/AS it adds to that desire.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
