Brush: Wolfman WRB2 Bronze w/AP Shave Co MiG 26mm Premium Hybrid
Razor: Filarmonica 13 Novodur 13/16" Para Profesionales Full Hollow (Straight Shave 370)
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Seville - Soap
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Seville - Aftershave
Post Shave: Thayers - Rose - Toner
Seville is wonderful and I had a great shave this morning with my Fili 13's September edge.
Even though I have a bunch of brushes, and rarely talk about them, I'm having trouble moving away from this Wolfman brush because of the MiG knot. Until now, the ultimate synthetic, for me, was the Wald synthetic (I have 3 of them), and I'm also a big fan of the Motherlode knot. I have the G5C and G5A knots, and prefer a little less backbone than they provide. But, the MiG Premium is in a class by itself. Now, Andrew (u/apshaveco) was kind enough to choose one from stock specifically for this Wolfman handle, but my impression is that the choice was made for aesthetics. From a performance perspective, I'm guessing all of the knots are just this good.
