I know it's all subjective. The Astra Stainless works so well in the Wolfman, just a good balance of sharpness and comfort for me.

My last couple of shower shaves using a bath soap I purchased way back from a local nursery which lathers up quit well. Both super smooth, comfortable DFS. Absolutely love the musk scent :love: Happy shaves!

To honour the release of the stainless steel Karve this morning, I shaved with my Karve C.

Also, since we had a semi-ungodly hour that this occurred, I flipped my soap so the fellas in the northern hemisphere can see it properly...

You are not a island in your dislike of these nasty little pieces of corrugated iron disguised as blades. Even bought some from different suppliers, thinking I had just got a bad batch.

That's why they were PIF
 
First sign of irritation and I am back on the Stirling products:
I have a mild reaction to Mitchell's Wool Fat and the Haslinger Schafmilch which is an absolute shame because the Schafmilch is a velvety smooth soap. Lathers up to perfection, a couple of whips and the lather is as silky as churned to butter.

Pre-shave: Shower
Brush: Semogue - Excelsior 1460 Boar Brush
Soap: Stirling - Executive Man
Razor: Merkur - Progress @ 3
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (7)
Post-shave: Stirling - Executive Man
