    Tonight's shave was with a Russian Beauty. I had a very noisy 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. This blade can hold a super sharp edge, and has a very high pitch, loud noise, when shaving. Excellent razor.


    Razor- Russian "Орбита"(Orbita) 1970's
    Brush- B400, By Tom
    Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
    Aftershave- Arctic Blue

    Four days of beard met my Grandpa’s NeverFail in a show down. I just refreshed the razor on my Arkie and put it to the test with a 2 pass shave. It earned it’s stripes and has me thinking I need to use it more often. :happy036: My face is smooth, smooth, smooth.
