    Two pass, really near BBS. 1st pass WTG/XTG. 2nd pass, ATG/XTG. A little lather on neck area for clean up. Thayer`s really smoothed the skin nicely. After drying i applied Dove. Men+ Care. Nicely done, Bill, a little pat on my back for dialing a new razor so soon. Happy Camper. Wishing the same for all.

    MONDAY
    'Wostenholm Week, Day 7'—my first shave since Thursday eve. I grabbed one of my favorites: a large 7/8" 'Pipe' razor from George Wostenholm & Son. This was restored & rescaled in feathered black horn several years ago and I just love the feel of this blade. I've never had a 'less-than-stellar' shave from it. Not bad for a $20 antique store rescue! Martin de Candre lather and Musco Real No.3 'Spiced Citrus' finish.

    April 18


    Razor - 1959 Gillette Super Speed
    Blade - [​IMG] (1)
    Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
    Soap - Arko
    Post - Cold water rinse, Alum, The Veg

    ​
    It is most glorious day in Russian shave den. The most decadent Voskhod is in the razor and the crowd is on the square saluting most glorious blade. It brings tears to my eyes and a few vodka toasts to such a testament to such luxury.

    Wolf Whiskers to the front of the line for lather with Arko today. This brush has never failed to turn the soap into lather in record time and record amounts. Unfortunately, it also feeds my BAD thinking of ordering another one. Shake it off, there's a shave to be done. First pass and man oh man I've missed this. I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous after how well the Rapira SS performed. Thought the Voskhod might have to share first place or take second but no, it still is the smoothest. The only reason I knew there was a blade in was the sound. The feedback was incredible and the effectiveness top notch. Second pass XTG and I was so near the baby I could smell its diaper. Did a full third pass......because I wasn't done yet and wanted to play.....and the baby showed up and brought a friend. Fantastic feel and finish. A big sigh of relief that, barring a disaster, the mighty Voskhod will remain in the lead.

    Good news on the Russian travel front - I got the guys headed further East to make it out through Siberia. Booked them into a luxury Siberian resort last night. It only cost a couple of rubles which was an amazing price for all of the luxuries they advertised for it. If you're looking to vacation in Siberia you might want to check it out!
