So presumably not loved.

Not having tried a Wolfperson, I have nothing to say about its performance, but the pictures I've seen don't call to me. I guess it might appeal to folks who like their toys to be shiny, but not to me...

Pre-shave:- Warm Water
Brush:- Yaqi 24mm Mysterious Space Silvertip
Soap/Cream:- Razorock The Dead Sea
Razor:- Rex Envoy
Blade:- Astra Superior Stainless
Post Shave:- Thayers Witchhazel Lemon / The Dead Sea AS Splash / Lucky Tiger Face Moisturiser

3 pass + touchups BBS in reverse order. Post shave products were excellent. I wish Razorock would use this artisan to do all of soaps.

Does the soap smell like Pinaud Clubman aftershave, otherwise, I’ll vomit

Yeah, very similar. I don't use either much as they both give Mrs Pbgoose an instant headache (mainly the AS, I can get away with the shave soap more).

Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: R41
Blade: Nacet
Brush: Matilda 2-Band Silvertip Badger
Soap: A&E Monte Carlo
Post: Dead Sea Splash

Pop quiz.. how do you make a R41 smoother than a WR2???

Answer: Load them with a nacet!! I loaded the same nacet I used in yday shave with the WR2 into the R41 and it was considerably smoother.

@SpeedyPC and @Holiday … warning, Enabler Alert!! Considering you enjoyed 'All things nice' so much you need to know this Dead Sea splash is do dam nice, today I ordered the matching soap. Honestly this scent is simply amazing and a must have in your dens

Thanks for the suggestion regarding Nacet + R41 as I'm unaware if I've ever tried this combo...? Well worth an attempt this weekend.

By the way the brush is looking nice and shiny.

It also comes in brushed finish if you don't like things super shiny!?

That bloody boar looks like is loosing its backbone like a floppy paint brush, how long have you had this brush in your den? Looks like more than 3 years at least??

A couple of years. Not too floppy yet. Managed a glorious thick creamy lather this morning.

I’m still taking my Zoloft (sertraline) 50mg depression medication everyday, otherwise, I wouldn’t be okay without it.

Thanks @TomG Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a very nasty disease I’ve lived with for nearly 42 years now.
