Razor: Yates 921 H/Nodachi Handle (modified)
Blade: Vintage Iridium Polsilver/Wizamet
Brush: Lutin Lightning/Badger
Soap: Ethos Shave MD
AS : Witch Hazel + Ethos Shave MD
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,872

Badger Knot in a Lutin Lightning Brush and Shave MD Ginger Ale Scented Soap by Ethos (Hence the 1 picture). Wonderful shave this morning. It was my 1st use of a Vintage blade from some that Vesper generously pif'd to try as Wizamet is my preferred blade. These are Vintage made in Poland blades. They state Polsilver but have the Wizamet logo on them so they may be when transitioning or the W was always a part of the company. I used my 921 Yates "H" plate and admittedly it's been awhile since grabbing this razor and so I want to use this blade in a better known razor before final thoughts. Initial thoughts are it is as expected as smooth as can be. It's sharp enough to do a great job but not sure if as sharp as my current Wizamets. That said, it may have been the razor I used as it does use a different angle than most and that's why I want to try it in other razors first. Again my thanks to Vesper and an enjoyable shave for sure. The smoothness I felt is exactly what my 1st shave with a Wizamet felt like on it's first stroke when I initially tried them and that's what had me stock up on them several years ago. Have a great day everyone and weekend !
