  What do people share in these threads usually?

  I had a good shave, applied a warm cloth then used badger soap and Kai blades, synthetic brush. No nicks or burn.

  Bought a sampler pack a while ago and have used the Kais since — didn’t really care for the feathers or merkur brands.

  Merkur and other brands put a dab of adhesive on the packaging and I can’t stand the smell of it, Kai just fold the paper, much nicer.

    In addition to what @snooting@sub.wetshaving.social said. People often ruminate on a range of things. This month @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social will be talking through and a/b straight razor test for example.

    I’ll mainly be forgetting to post.

  Wonderful first use of this new razor. This was also a test shave for a synthetic edge that I put on the razor. Using Bloom made the whole shave a big win. One of the best shaves I’ve had in a while.

      Thank you! I think the look of WoolfBlades razors are probably polarizing; love ‘em or hate ‘em. If it weren’t for the steel and the craftsmanship, I would have passed on this. Kind of fun to photograph, though.

  Only four shaves in and I’m close to calling it. The 1 mark edge is smoother and sharper than the 2 mark edge. I’m going to switch to blindly choosing the blades next, just to make sure.

  What’s this about?
