    3 passes gave me a BBDBSS today. Extremely enjoyable shave and as close as close can get. The Gillette Nacet blade in this Aristocrat is an outstanding combination.

    Shave Plan for Tuesday:

    prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Odor Armor)in shower
    shave-Rise Super Foam regular
    razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Sophisticated DisposeABLE
    A.S.-Stirling Sandpiper w/menthol

    I just edited this to say "w/menthol". I forget to say the menthol part a lot because that which Doc Ezlovan adds is just enough to make it different than the regular, but there's no real "freeze".

    Other than a medical emergency or to fend off a mob hit I can't imagine why anyone would part with a Schick F.

    Razor - Soviet Consul (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
    Post - Alum

    Shave number two on the Voskhod/Consul combo. Razor still wide open in setting "me" on steroids. Used the Stirling Pro-Style brush thinking that big brush might help wipe out the Arko a bit faster in the mug. I have 11 1/2 sticks to go in my stash and at the rate I'm going that's good for at least 4 years if not more. Time to pick up the pace a bit. Tonight's was just as smooth as last night with one difference. After two passes I checked for touch ups - and didn't need any. Two pass BBS and I was done for the night. No blood, quiet alum....I think this is the first Soviet/Russian razor I can say I've either found able to work, or finally tamed, whichever it is. Время вечеринки!

    Here's hoping you had a great start to the week. I had a very busy day, especially for a Monday, so I'm pretty happy about that. Add this shave and hey - it's a great day!
