Excellent lather from the soap as usual. Creamily thick and slick.
Shave with this razor was quite aggressive but the blade was good to reduce it.

A really simple yet enjoyable shave with this setup. Only let down was the floppiness of the boar as it struggled creating cream lather and the Wizamet wasn't as smooth but still sharp after 11 shaves... Also love the grape bubblegum scent! :love: Have a great weekend!!!
 
Anniversary shave for me today, so I had to go with the wifes favorite. Conveniently it is also my favorite. Such a better shave today. DFS to border line BBS, I just didn't want to chase it to much.
