SOTD

The Wolfman is indeed a worthy razor, worth the high price tag? I'd say yes. It is incredibly well made and flawless the way the 3 pieces connect together.

Is it too aggressive? Nope, not at all. Both closed and OC side are smooth and comfy whether a few days stubble or used daily. It's just an efficient shaver that feels just 'rights' in ther hand and on the face.

Brush: RazoRock Plissoft
Soap: De Vergulde Hand Cream
Razor: Gem Micromatic ClogPruf w/ Gem Stainless Coated #4
Post: Alum wash - Duru Lemon Splash / Alcolado Glacial 2:1 mix - Neutrogena Comfort Balm

Two 1st uses:
De Vergulde Hand Cream - Bowl lathered. Very easy lather, super slick, great fresh scent. Very impressed.

The ClogPruf - with thanks to @mpf9ret. Got a really smooth 3 pass shave with great face feel. You know that squeaky sound when you rub a wet hand over your face - that smooth.

Really getting the hang of this soap now, lovely slick, slidey lather, not as thick as some, but really nice all the same. Unfortunately it gives my face the tingles, something it didn't for the first few shave.
Expected more from the GSB in the Seygus, no better than the Sputnik of yesterday. Still a great shave nonetheless.
 
How easy is it to get the knot out of the SOC handle?
First of all sorry, but my english is very poor

I reknoted this brush because the hair was very bad (very hard and rogh)

It's not difficult. I used a Dremel because the hole is cone shaped and I had to make it bigger

Hole is 25 mm for a 24 mm Silvertip Knot

Knot set at 48 mm height
