  • Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 1)
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 2)
  • Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1/1)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Coniferous - Witch Hazel & Aloe
  • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdP

Side by side comparison of Gen 1 & 2 Guerillas. Interesting results! In using the Gen 2 on its own a couple of times, I would have sworn it was more efficient than the Gen 1, but using it side by side did not show that to be true.

I used the Gen 1 on the right side of my face, and Gen 2 on the left. The first pass is where I saw the biggest difference, with the Gen 1 leaving shorter stubble. Subsequent passes resulted in an identical shave.

Tomorrow I'll switch sides to take into account technique.

The winner for this shave - Gen 1. It fits my preference more, as I like mild, smooth feeling razors. Gen 2 is not aggressive, but it edges a little closer to a medium feel.
