If you like Voskhod and think it is the finest possible use of the finest possible Russian steel, just add the title to your signature. And, by being an official member you get cookies at the meetings.

 

Poll results comment:

I find it interesting that the majority of those responding to the thread poll are interested in cookies, and NOBODY cares about @Bama Samurai trying to manipulate the La Toja market for his own nefarious interests. Shocking, really, how calloused we are about such things. I have to blame the banks, really. And the cookies too, of course. They're really good cookies.

 

Nothing to see here, everyone move along....

 

@Rufus T.

Happy TSD anniversary! Thanks for being a part of all this!

 

It's TSD's anniversary?

 

No. TSD was founded Feb 9, I believe. Vince (Rufus T) registered as member 367 days ago.

 

No, yesterday was @Rufus T. 's first anniversary as a member.

 

Sunday Shower/Shave

Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Peppermint bar soap
Pso- @barbersurgeon lime and blood orange PSO with M-Bomb
Brush- RazoRock Plissoft
Razor- Muhle R41 on a Maggard MR5 handle
Blade- Personna Red (1)
Soap- TSD London for Men lanolin with M-Bomb
Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO
AS- TSD Neroli milk with M-Bomb

This may be the finest blade I've used so far, even ATG I felt nothing. I checked multiple times that a blade was loaded, very smooth and absolutely zero irritation. I'm BBS everywhere tonight. I can only hope that tomorrow is just as good. The TSD products worked great, if you haven't tried them yet do yourself a favor and pick some up. This was my best shave to date.

The combination of skin stretching and riding the cap can't be beat. I don't know which technique has improved my shaves more but I'm using both from now on. Have a great day folks!

 

Aggressive equipment (r41) + Israeli Red (upper tier sharpness) + Proper Angle and Pressure + Shave Den Sunday = perfection!

 

Ahh ok

 

Overall DFS... only a slight nick... I find the lack of blood disturbing... My rating below :

 

NEAR DFS. Only close. Can I get 1/2 point for that?

 

ROFL

 

Tough crowd.

 

I don't care who you are That's Funny!

 

Yeah, don't tell him I said so but that was very well played. I may have to send Yuri over to "encourage" a half point out of him.

 

I hear you!

Mongoose B2 with Triad Ti
Feather Pro (2)
Simpson CH2 Synthetic
Mystic Water Eucalyptus & Spearmint
Witch Hazel
Myrsol F/Extra
Whipped Shea Butter

​

I really enjoyed the shave this morning. The Mystic Water Eucalyptus & Spearmint soap scent reminds me of Wrigley's Doublemint gum. I appreciated the cooling menthol on such warm humid morning. With a base of slick lather, the Mongoose/Feather Pro mowed down the stubble to the acceptable near BBS in 3 passes. I finished off with a splash of Myrsol F/Extra. I hope everyone has a fantastic Monday.
