  • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 2)
  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Carpathia - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Logbook - Aftershave

Tomorrow might be the day for this tub of soap.

I'm using this Gen 2 Guerilla on loan. I have a Gen 1 and the differences are interesting. On initial impression, the Gen 2 fixes two problems that the OG has; difficulty loading the blade, and efficiency. The Gen 2 is much easier to load, and gives me a closer shave albeit with more blade feel.

Also different is the overall finish. The newer version appears to be slightly darker, and it's possible that it was tumbled in order to improve the appearance. If only there was someone I could ask!

Both heads have machine marks all over the place, so if that's a deal breaker for you then give this razor a pass.
