Razor: Assured 3 Piece
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: Suart/Timberwolf
Soap: b-pure
AS 1: Witch Hazel
AS 2: Power Stick Shave Balm
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,484
The soap for $1.25 is a great deal. It isn't a top artisan soap but very good to get the job done and lathers easily. The razor has a lot of blade feel meaning blade exposure which translates to blade chatter galore. I got a good shave from it but not a comfortable razor if you are shaving your whole face including around the mouth and chin with all the contours. The chatter had it struggling on the against the grain for my whiskers especially in the mustache area. I'm not a Balm guy but while it felt sticky, filmy or greasy (Choose your terminology) going on, as I type this it has absorbed well and feels good. Nice kick from the peppermint oil in it. Have a great day everyone !
