    Natalia just showed up at my door with a fresh pack of 100 Voskhods from Russia with love. Y'all guys are so sweet to think about me!

    Going to use some of my soaps and brushes that I don't often use.
    Have a great day. :happy088:

    RazoRock XXX~~Rooney Style 3 Medium~~1955 A4 Gillette Red Tip~~Perma-Sharp
    No, you haven't entered a time tunnel. This shave looks eerily familiar to November's shaves, and it is.
    I committed to finishing the XXX     and finish it, I will.
    Other than old news, the new news is the Rooney and the Gillette Red Tip. Not new to me, however.
    The three-band Rooney blooms like a mushroom cloud out of control.

    Open at your own peril...
    And like a cloud, it's pillowy soft and feels great on the face.
    I spent more time removing the glue dots from the Perma-Sharp blade than I did shaving.
    Ultra-aggravating. :angry019:
    However, once gussied-up, the blade made amends by providing me with a comfortable shave.
    The Red-Tip is a solid tool with outstanding knurling. The blade gap allows the user to find the correct angle easily.
    More XXX AS/ASM to complete the first and last December 1, 2018 shave.    ​

    Sure making great progress Terry, I'm a fellow headshaver too.
    Great pic and report Jim. I started last Dec too just after Christmas. Buy the looks of my den you'd swear I collected for 20 years. Thanks to these guys I now have acquisition disorders.

    Very very good start Keith

    Thanks, Patrick! I'm not sure exactly when I started, pretty sure it was early December. My new Blackbird was supposed to get wrapped and put under the tree. That didn't happen. But it was December last that my acquisition disorder started, well for shaving gear anyway.

    Thank you Jim. My first shave with the Personna and 3 dot plate was harsh as well. Even with the Proline there is more blade feel but is smooth. I like this setup.

    Thank you Perry. Swati is in Ireland for a week so it’s just me. I’ll be rooting for UGA but Alabama has always been my second favorite team.

    I just hope I don’t do to much internet shopping during the game.

    Copper Hat island hopper soap
    Dads brush I refurbished w/ home made knot
    Dickinsons witch hazel
    Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic balm (@COMPNOR)

    Decadent to say the least. My 1st time using Rapiras but not my last. This setup was so good I'm destined to repeat it in the future. 20181201_114407.jpg
