Wade & Butcher, 6/8 Full Hollow, Spike Point
Wade & Butcher razors are among my favorite shavers. A glorious firm about straight razor making, they are still today among the very finest around. This shave has also been the occasion to test, for the first time, my latest aftershave which I called Thyrrenus, a tribute to the mythological Etruscan figure who was said to be one of the founders of the Etruscan League consisting of twelve cities. One of those cities was Perugia - my city - therefore this aftershave is also a tribute to ancient Etruscans, the noble and well civilized people who founded "Perusna" - now called "Perugia" - more than 3000 years ago. RazorGuy Thyrrenus is amazingly refreshing with a balsamic touch of eucalyptus and menthol, a sort of ice breeze caressing the skin, something I wanted to make for summertime shaves. I am very happy with it!
