After skipping a shave I longed for the feel of an Artist Club blade so I went for my O.R.E.N. today.

At level 3 this razor cuts nicely. I did a three-pass shave with some light touch-up and achieved a bbs shave. No issues or complaints at all.

The Stirling soap performed beautifully as expected and the Alighieri scent is warm and spot on for Dior's Fahrenheit.

Another great shave today.

Shave on my friends.

Wolfman .95 with Persona Platinum and was quite good
I had a really bad shave last week or so with the blade and must have just been a bad one as they are usually OK not the sharpest but comfy enough so glad today was OK
