  • Brush: Wolfman WRB2 Bronze w/AP Shave Co MiG 26mm Premium Hybrid
  • Razor: Wolfman Razors WR4/WRH3 (setting: 0.70 Plate)
  • Blade: Feather Artist Club Professional (6)
  • Lather: Elysian Soap Shop - Olympus - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner
  • Aftershave: Elysian Soap Shop - Olympus - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Elysian Soap Shop - Olympus - Eau de Parfum

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


As soap bases go, the Elysian one is serviceable. Easy to lather and slick enough. Also, this base does not carry the Olympus scent particularly well (to my nose). The scent comes alive in the aftershave and the EdP, though, and is quite pleasant. It is a light scent with mild scent strength. Very comfortable if you need to be around people all day.
