    Wonderful shave and great lineup, Blair! It reached 60 degrees on Long Island earlier this week. Unfortunately, won't see it again until late April into early May.

    Decadent December!!!

    December 25

    Razor - Gillette New SC Deluxe (Matthew the Haunted Razor and Ghost of Christmas Past/Present/Future)
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Stirling Hot Apple Cider
    Brush - 30DC Meet UP w/ TGN Grade A Silvertip
    Post - Alum

    Well, a quiet Christmas Day here with a high temperature of 70! I spent a bit of time outside but otherwise just a lazy day to take a break. Finally time to shave and I needed a head shave too so got that done. Then onto the main event with the same lineup as last night. I mentioned last night that the shave was very smooth and that was a bit of a mistake. I was judging it based on the fact it was a 2 day shave instead of a 1 day. Tonight I found out that things were not so smooth on that one day since I last shaved. Clearly the Voskhod either was a dud out of the pack or had died after that one shave. Not bad considering it's only the second Voskie that has been a dud in five years of using them. I switched blades and it was silky smooth like usual. I probably should have paid better attention last night but I made it work.

    For the soap - another round of Stirling Hot Apple Cider to get that Decadent holiday thing going. The 30DC meet up brush with silvertip was awesome and it was a fantastic lather that made it a slick and cushy shave. I made sure and faced the Bolton Sigil where it could be seen. Half the coolness of that handle is having the Flayed Man on it. (Sorry, if you're not a Game of Thrones fan you can ignore that). Three passes and I'm totally smooth and ready for Boxing Day! Oh wait, I'm not in Canada. Hope you all had a fantastic holiday and here's to a great final week of the decade!
