January 31, 2024 -- WestMan Wednesday

  • Brush: Wald Stratos Haunter 29mm A1

  • Razor: River Razor 14 8/8" Full Hollow

  • Lather: WestMan Shaving - Nirvana - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

  • Aftershave: WestMan Shaving - Nirvana - Aftershave Balm

  • Talc: Yardley Classic
     
    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I only have two WestMan products and my understanding is that Nirvana is the newest soap base. There was certainly nothing wrong with the old one, but I think that Tiago (the proprietor) likes to improve the product. For straight razor shaving the Nirvana base is absolutely terrific.

After shaving this morning, I decided to I should put my own edge on this razor. There's nothing really wrong with the original (River Razor) edge but this razor was heavily hyped and I'm wondering if there's more capability to be found. I'll make a video of the honing if anyone is interested.

I'm always interested!
