    Friday January 24th SOTN

    Well, was delayed at work and home very late tonight. I received the Russian Taiga in the mail today and just had to give it a quick run before bed. 3 quick and smooth passes. Very quick and simple to find the narrow shave angle. Wow... Much more comfy for me than a Rex for sure. I'm going to take my time tomorrow night . I can't wait to try the open comb base plate. Happy shaves all.

    Josh

    Saturday shave

    Razor: Lord Tech (Egypt)
    Blade: Lord Super Stainless (Egypt)

    i find Lord blade kinda dull, razor is Gillette replica, the sound it gives while cutting the hair is excellent.[​IMG]

    A month ago you were about to eat as if you were rescued castaways: have you lost the accumulated fat? Have you checked your cholesterol? Do you eat a lot of fiber? Do you work out? Or your most intense activity is lathering your face?

    I do: each and very morning I display heavy equipment by the window, shoot a photo and put all the gear back! So I a fit, slim and attractive! And a bit of a liar, but this is part of training: I want to be a politician!

    My shave? A repeating story...

    Saturday:
    hot shower w/Castelbel Bergamot & Tobacco bar soap
    Maggard Lavender PSO
    Gillette FatBoy (7) 3 passes
    SuperMax Super Stainless Blue plus (1)
    Omega boar
    Through the Fire Neroli Soleil soap in a warm bowl
    Thayers Lavender WH
    Hoyt's Cologne

    Excellent shave this morning. First time with the SuperMax SS Blue plus so I dialed back the FatBoy to 7 though I could have had it wide open as the SuperMax was very smooth.
    Hadn't splashed on Hoyt's in a while but I'm not expecting to win anything.

    Cold Water Rinse
    PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #383
    Fredrick Reynolds 5/8
    CWR
    PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm

    The PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #383 badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fredrick Reynolds 5/8 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    ●1914
    ●London Morning soap

    2 pass BBS, slight irritation. The 1914 needs replaced; it takes too much time and trouble to keep the blade seated on what's left of the stops when the door shuts. Have posted in WTB regarding this.

    A/S: Dickinson's, Lucky Tiger and later something very mentholated.

    Saturday morning:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Derby day 6
    Culmak SS
    Bull Dog Moisturizer
    Sir Canada Cedar AS Splash

    Here’s a soap which I haven’t used in a very long time - this Culmak from the UK has a hell of a nice scent which seems to be a blend of lavender and citrus, at least to me. It lathers great although it’s not too slick but it still has pretty good skincare to it. The Bull Dog moisturizer felt so soothing on my skin afterwards, and the Canada Cedar aftershave is not from Canada at all - it’s from Germany and it has a lovely old school scent. Three passes cleaned me up superbly and left me as smooth as a baby’s tukhis![​IMG]
