Good evening, guys!
I just completed Dovo shavette shave #73. I decided to use my Semogue OC badger brush to get the usual great lather from Stirling Coconut Lime SS.
Two passes, minor touch ups and 2 tiny weepers on mustache area that disappeared with cold water. The Voskhod blade was losing its effectiveness towards the end of the shave and therefore, I attained am IBSS+. I decided to bin the blade and will load a new one on my next shaving adventure. Overall, I am very pleased with this shave. Applied the matching aftershave to end the shave.
Result: Grade 95.5 = A
Guys, I know its late, but have a good evening and get a great morning shave tomorrow!

I always need to be careful with the point on this razor. This razor is usually exceptionally sharp, today it is just sharp, so it I think it is time for a touch-up.

Danny, I hope your not singing the Candy man song! Lol!

 

No I am not but she did beat me and bad.

 

Still a great shave even with the minor weepers. Take care Joe.

 

The youngins' always beat us old timers in these board games!

 

Thanks, Danny! You too!

 

Great shave and the razor is beautiful. I love how the blue scales just seem to pop in color.

 

We have been playing for about 6 weeks when she comes over to spend the night. She catches on fast and loves it when she beats granddad.

 

I am sure that her eyes get wide and smiles with the utmost joy. I am sure it warms your heart when she does it.

 

Oh yeah....if I knew that grandkids were this much fun I would have had them first.
