Really great shave. I haven’t used either of these products in years. Varen has been a long favorite that I stopped using two years ago when my wife got pregnant; the Hydro Magic is just a great razor I always forget about.

  • Brush: Oumo Warhammer Iceberg 27mm Meri-2
  • Razor: WoolfBlades 6/8 Full Hollow Square Point
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Jack - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Jack - Aftershave

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I took a lot of time with this shave and concentrated on technique. As a result, I had extra time to enjoy the refreshing fragrance of Jack; one of Noble Otter's "Card" series. If you're in the US, enjoy your holiday!

Happy July 4th! It's not the greatest time in our country's history, and I think a large part of the population here could stand re-attending History 101 at the elementary school level. Despite that, we plan on having a good time with friends. Swimming, playing in the sand, driving RC boats, and watching a legally questionable fireworks show put on my our friend.

imho, legally questionable fireworks are the best way to celebrate the illegal (at the time) Declaration of Independence :)
