Soap: noble otter oudyood

This soap is light on the scent but performance is great, I get to tom ford vibe but I had expected a heavier hand from the otter.

Thought I better do the D.R. Harris justice

Brush:- P&C LE Platypus 24mm Bulb
Soap/Aftershave:- D.R. Harris - Windsor
Razor:- Wolfman WR1 OC with WR2 Handle
Blade:- Aussie Spoiler (1)

The WR1OC is still a tad too aggressive (just a smidgen) no rash but can feel the burn post shave.
The Aussie Spoiler has mellowed it compared to Astra and Wizamet.
Will have to try a Rubie to see if can hit the sweet spot.
WR1OC is the only OC where I comfortably ride the combs and not even touch the cap

Cracking lineup there.

I thought that one would tickle you, Alfie.
When I saw it, it reminded me of one of your lathering efforts.
Great work from @StratMan.
When you look at that lather, you just know that it will be sensational to shave with.
