What are your thoughts on this razor? Thanks!

This was just the first use, I’ll eventually post my impressions in the corresponding thread after a few uses. In any case, it’s quite smooth; differently from the stainless model (which I also have) the shape of the head let you play with the angle…

Razor: Wolfman SS WR1 .54 DC/WRH2 Ti Handle
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: Knothead "Kentuckian"/Timberwolf
Soap: Abbate Y La Mantia "Blue Tobacco"
AS : Barbasol Pacific Rush
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,795

Another Soap from the House of Tommy and I believe a never used brand to me but can't remember. Here's what is stated about it on the web:

We soaked balsamic tobacco leaves in icy ocean waters. How? A fragrance of tobacco and eucalyptus bathed in the cold mint molecule (D-menthol).

In order to make this a tropical cosmetic, we added Avocado oil. To make this precious, we added the ultimate natural antibacterial agent: Saffron Pistil Extract.

What I note: The Saffron Pistil comes in dead last on the ingrediant list so I don't imagine there's a lot of it in there but it makes for good advertising The scent I get is a nice Cold Aguatic. When you smell the tub it isn't offensive menthol but you smell that it's a cooling soap and the fresh aquatic scent is there but I'm not able to distinguish the individual notes they describe. All that said I enjoyed using it and upon smelling it, I immediately knew the perfect AS to go with it would be from my stash of Pacific Rush which is down to a half bottle I'm working on and 1 full backup. This vegan soap gave a great lather and shave. My face feels clean and refreshed. I will definitely enjoy using this soap but I wouldn't buy it at it's price point of more than $12 an ounce. There are better quality soaps priced lower. Like I said it's a great soap to enjoy but that's my honest opinion on it's value. I hope all have a great day !
