Jeff:
Did you make the shim by removing the cutting edges of a DE blade? If so, how much should be removed? I’ll definitely take your advice. I’m taking the razor w/ me to Las Vegas. We always celebrate Thanksgiving there with my wife’s brother and Christmas at our place. You have a Happy Thanksgiving!

 

With just 5 days left in November, I hereby project No Theme as the survey winner, but I also project No Repeat to finish second.

 

No rules except snip the whole edge off. The closer to the edge you snip the more rigididty is gained Just try to make the cut as even as you can.

NOVember 2019

November 25

Razor -Russian Rapira
Blade -
Soap - Stirling Black Ice
Brush - Stirling Two Band Synthetic
Post - Alum

The final Menthol Monday in NOVember! Seems like we just started the month yesterday doesn't it. Well, nope, not so much. My choice today is Stirling Black Ice for that wonderful black licorice scent. I used the Stirling brush to get it lathered up to the point of being absolutely ridiculous! Fantastic soap. For the hardware portion - it's the Russian Rapira razor paired with a Rapira Platinum Lux. This razor was sold with a pack of Rapira PL so it's a match from day one. Razor is cheap, thin, light, but does a good job with a great Russian blade in it with proper technique. Three passes to a BBS and only a mild alum reaction. Not bad for this razor at all. I'm calling it a success.

We have through Saturday to get ready for Decadent December! Usually the busiest month around here, though we've pushed that bar very high this year. Of course, there is still all that food to get through on Thursday. Have a great Tuesday!
