1st outing with a fresh Wizamet Polsilver.. a bit harsh to start with, but man, does it settle down to give a stellar shave.... hell yeah!



Thursday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium
Brush: 'Da Vinci' ( Rod Neep CS-1 "Forest Flame" 30mm Extra Dense Silvertip )
Soap: Super Smooth V2 test sample
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / RazoRock Aftershave Wax

I was a bit surprised when the unscented V2 test sample came through the post, but seeing that I was due a shave, I thought 'why not'! So, my thoughts.. the lather was ample, lush, and surprisingly light... slickness was to be expected, with no problems, but the post shave was very good... skin looked, and felt very healthy, even though there was a bit of redness in a couple of spots, due to 'new blade harshness', the skin soon settled down with no problems.. Overall, it does exactly what it says on the tin, but I just wish that it had more of a WOW factor..
