    So you're saying the common house cat is a far superior animal to the Czechoslovakian Tiger?

    Mine is. Big male tom cat. Big sharp claws, soft medium length fur would lather most soaps very well. Would take forever to convince him it was worth it and rinsing it off might result in amputation(s).

    Killed it. Like a boss. Two pass BBS. Nary a drop of blood. One of the best shaves I've ever had. Seriously.

    Ride the cap. Angle is everything.

    Have a fantastic Friday!

    If only I still had a questionable DE razor I didn't mind butchering. That looks fun. Hurt hinge with an easy handle, no need to break the blade and, less contortions to reach every part of my face with one hand.

    I'm not taking credit/blame until we see how many end up in the emergency room. So, maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Now, give me a minute while I stand and enjoy the fight song.

    On Barbasol:

    Performs great, good post shave feel, perfect lather, slick.....

    Brushes and traditional shave soap are more fun though! No plans to switch...

    I used to have trouble keeping track of how many shaves on a blade until I was taught this trick. Turn the die to the next number after your shave. Have fun!

    I did the soviet version just for you. Some of my family was from a questionable part of soviet eastern Europe.

    I should be in with the Cartel pretty good now. My top 2 blades just had a Russian razor knock out a Japanese razor this morning. I'm at Sharp Star and GSB now.

    You are definitely in the good graces of the cartel. And a Sharp Star. Not many use that blade. You're showing some real savvy there. And I like the Soviet version of the fight song as well, if only because it is such a look back on history.

    Sharp Star was the save me blade in my Angry Russian razor this morning. It was so good. Best shave with a DE so far.

    Some people (@Bama Samurai) would need one of these to keep track.

    Happy Friday everyone. A fantastic shave this morning. We had rain storms pass through over night and what a pairing Route 66 Perfect Storm was for the shave today. The fresh clean herbal green scent of the soap was very similar to the smells during my morning walk. As usual the performance of the soap was fantastic being super easy to lather and very slick. Going with a my normal 2 pass, XTG & ATG, shave followed by touch ups ended in the expected near BBS with no irritation, nicks or weepers. Finished up with a splash of Fine L'Orange. I hope everyone has a great day.
