One Pass Shaving Routine..

Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
USSR Broctok - 2 Space Orbit Celebration 1/2 Hollow 5/8th
Hans Baier Silver Tip
Italian Vitos Tallow Soap
Logona Mann Balm

I Had My 2nd Shave Today with My Soviet Made 5/8th..One WTG Pass on the Face & One ATG Pass on the Neck & a Dolphin Smooth BBS Result..Two Days of Whiskers Wiped Clean..My Picture above Represents a Typical Two Day Growth Pattern for Me..I have Cast Iron Whiskers & this Russian SR Swipes them Clean Like Butter..

This Russian SR has an Surgically Sharp Edge that is Quite Unique to this Very Hard Soviet Steel..It Feels Like a Very Thin Scalpel Like Edge & Feather Like Touch is all that is Required to Swipe the Whiskers Away with Long Strokes...A Top Notch Shaver for Sure..I Reckon I Might be Even Mistaken for a Bolshevik in that Photo..

I am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..

STRAIGHT RAZOR CALLOUT!!!!!
Alright @Robyflexx , you have been lurking in the "Straight Razors" forum long enough. Time to get a straight razor for yourself. If you already have one, post a pic and start shaving with it.

 

Yeah @Robyflexx ! When are you taking up SR shaving? What do you have to lose other than a pint or two of blood?

 

Today I used my Wade and Butcher "Elite" and got a DFS.

 

Never, I have a shavette. It takes too long! I like my shaves fast and furious! ........

 

Yeah, I took a run at this a week ago and tried to tempt him with a sweet SR deal on a vintage razor on eBay. That doesn't mean I've given up.

 

Karl!

 

Today's shave went very well. DFS with two passes. Another Vintage Japanese razor, that had been freshly honed, last week. Hair popper all the way down the blade. Still liking the big, heavy Japanese blades.

Razor- Vintage Japanese "Canon 500" Chemical Steel
Brush- Semogue 1800
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice

 

I'm with you. It's time to join us @Robyflexx

 

You guys

 

Shave 4

After yesterdays shave, I decided to take it back to the 5 micron. I did 100 very light strokes and then moved on to 3 micron. I finished with 1 micron with some paper underneath. i gave that 100 super light strokes. It popped arm hair all the way across the blade. Not touching any skin

I finished with a few strokes on the CrOx and some ferric oxide. Followed by 100 on the strop.

I did 2 full passes going ATG on the second pass. Finished with touchup on my neck. Nice all around shave. I will see how long this edge lasts.
