Wolfman WR-01 Ti OC with Hempel Ti
Feather
“Los Tres Amigos Dos” CH 2 Synthetic LE
Reef Point Dragon's Blood
Witch Hazel

​

After 21 shaves with the vintage Personna 74 it was nice to load a fresh Feather into the Wolfman. I did notice that while the Feather was sharper it was also more harsh. When using Feathers all the time I do not notice the harshness. The CH2 synthetic whipped up the RP Dragon's Blood into a rich slick lather. I truly enjoy the way this scent fills the room and lingers long after the shave. After 3 passes and some touch ups I managed to catch the baby. I really can't ask for better. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Great setup and photo amigo.
 
Razor: Gillette President Y 1
Blade: Feather Platinum (1)
Brush: Omega Barber Pole w/Silvertip
Soap: Route 66 Twisted Tweed
Aftershave: Floid Vigoroso

Did a little experiment with this brush tonight to see if the difficult with was the floppiness, or the actual knot itself. A few "O" rings 3 to be exact did remove some of the floppiness, however, the knot did not perform to my liking. Not against the brush, it just doesn't provide me what I want in a shave brush. I will pull the knot and silicone in a couple of knots until I find one I like.
The Gillette President (I left the case and blade pack inside for obvious reasons) I find to be a very mild razor, however, with a little effort and a good blade I was able to have a DFS. The shave soap is great and I really enjoy Floid Vigoroso aftershave. Been snowing and blowing here all day, and it is supposed to carry on all through the night. We'll dig out in the morning.

Great picture, it's a shame the o rings didn't work for your brush but all is not lost. Keep warm. :)
