Razor: Razorock Wunderbar
Brush: Semogue 610 Boar
Soap: Razorock XXX
Aftershave: Razorock Evil Eye Lime Tonic

Man, sure looks like I'm a Razorock Fanboy with this shave. Haha. What can I say, it's great working man's gear. Inexpensive and sure does perform well.

The Wunderbar is quite aggressive. I gotta take things slow with it since not only is it aggressive, but cuts differently as a slant razor. The result is always a very close shave. It's the only slant left in the Den.

I was gifted this tub of XXX and was honestly surprised how much I liked it. A 5 oz tub is only $10 and hits way above its price point. The lather was thick, and held up like a champ through 4 full passes. Never got foamy or broke down. The scent is Italian Colonia. Inspired by Acqua di Parma Colonia Classica. I really need to pickup the matching splash for this one. Today I used RR Evil Eye Lime. I'm a big fan of these Tonics. They also have a Lavender and a Eucalyptus/Tea Tree offering. They're all loaded with some impressive ingredients/skin food.

I've always had a strange attraction to the little Semogue 610 Boar. I purchased one about 8 years ago and quickly bonded with it. Yes, the knot is small and I have to load it a couple times, but it just somehow works for me. Plus, I love the looks of the handle/logo.

Well, I'm about to head south (near Seattle) for big shot #2. Wish me luck!

Good Luck! Hydrate, the second can be a doozy after a day or two, with body aches, headache, etc. I had the Moderna, and had a couple of hours of "fun" in the middle of the night, but whether it was ibuprofen, water, or sleep, it subsided and I had no further effects.
And I like the logo/brush as well, but I never was able to bond with a boar, too stiff for me and I am impatient with breaking on in. And then I found the SynBads, and that was that!

FYI: Barbara and I had the Moderna, and FWIW they told us not to take ibuprofen. They said Tylenol only. We both had annoyingly sore arms 24 hours later, but the soreness subsided in two more days.

I believe you are correct, Tylenol is the preferred analgesic. At 2 AM, I wasn't thinking about it, just that Vitamin I is my goto pain med!

Understood; been there done that, but done is done. I posted mainly in case Paul is getting the Moderna too.

Yes... light up top, darker on the bottom. Not sure why it cured that way, but I kinda like it. I still haven’t polished it fully.
