PRESHAVE: Face wash with soap and warm/hot water
RAZOR: Wolfman WR1-DC Polished (dual comb) with Bamboo handle
BLADE: Gillette Silver Blue (new)
SHAVETTE: Parker SWR with Derby blade
SOAP: Arko stick.

POST: Rinse with warm/hot water to get soap off and then some cold water rinses/splashes and pat try.

Comments: Today I decided to give the Parker Shavette another try but I only used it on my cheeks so I could try to get a feel for it and happy to report that I got no nicks from using it. Then after that, I used the Wolfman for the rest of the other areas. The shave today was very good but not quite a BBS in three passes! I used the OC side for first pass then the CC side for the other two. All I can say is the Wolfman feels so efficient! Soap was very good as we all know the Arko never fails as it creates great lather which is nice and slick and provides great protection! No irritation at all but I did get two weepers/nicks from the Gillette Silver Blue blade, not the Shavette! I am not sure I like the GSB's though but will try them some more seeing I have over 200 of them! All in all, it was a very good shave, not the best but not even close to the worst! I like the Wolfman razor heads alot and they will be my daily driver.

Please feel free to leave comments on any items us
ed as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!

Thx.
