    I'm sure I'm responsible somehow. That is unless we can somehow blame the network. ;)

    Razor - RazoRock Wunderbar Slant
    Blade - zaza-super-stainless.jpg
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Stirling Two Band Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    As you may have deduced, no shave last night. After discovering that I had mis-remembered the anniversary that wasn't really an anniversary, I went into a slight depressed state and wandered aimlessly until the boys discovered me early this morning.

    Ivan and Yuri carried me back to HQ and cooked me my favorite Russian breakfast and I feel much better now.

    I've recovered sufficiently to set up the next in the no-repeat November shaves here at HQ. Today I chose the Wunderbar Slant razor, and paired it with a Zaza Super Stainless blade. Zaza is a Turkish blade. What other blade is Turkish? Well the most famous would, of course, be the Derby. The two are not related. In terms of quality, the Derby quite a bit better than the Zaza. This blade is rather lacking in sharpness which creates a nice drag effect. If you like that sort of thing. Honestly, in the hyper-aggressive slant razor against two days growth, the first pass was pretty bad. The second and third passes were better and I did manage to find the baby but I paid the price some fairly warm alum in places.

    With Arko and the Stirling brush making lather I had plenty of it and it was slick. Just couldn't overcome the lack of an edge on the blade. Could I use a Zaza if it was the only blade available? Yep. However, I'd like to avoid that scenario.

    Hope you had a great day and hey, hey hey......Friday is upon us!!! Have a great day!

    Nice report Terry. Hopefully there’s a short supply of all those blades ranking below a 9...

    And...I’ll also admit to falling asleep at the keyboard (computer and phone) while keeping up in the 30DC thread. It’s a great group and fun hobby. Luckily I’ve not accidentally hit the submit or reply button as that happens. Had to backspace it though.....some funny autocorrect almost made it a couple times. :eek:
