    I wish I had grown up with hockey.

    That's a game. Works like basketball, but really fast.

    Razor - RazoRock Wunderbar
    Blade - voskhod-teflon-coated.jpg (1)
    Soap - Soap Commander Courage
    Brush - 30DC LE
    Post - Alum

    Anybody notice I didn't shave yesterday? Yeah, I didn't think so but that's ok. I actually skipped the past two days which set up a three day growth for tonight. Time to choose a different razor so I thought to myself...."self, you need an aggressive razor to handle this". So, I chose the RazoRock Wunderbar Slant. Heavy razor with that wicked slant that provides an excellent shave and lots of reduction with every pass. Still working on the Soap Commander and I will be for a bit longer. I'm thinking it will die sometime in February. I may change up how I work on it next month but I think I can get to the empty jar by the end of it. I used the 30DC LE Synthetic brush with Tuxedo knot from @jtspartan. Fine brush for a very fine lather.

    So, how many passes did the Wunderbar need to turn a three day growth into a baby smooth shave? Two plus a bit of touchup on the neck. That's it. This thing will mow it down and it was a smooth as it could be. I"m sure the Voskhod helped with that, of course. Together that razor and blade are a wicked combination. Love it.

    Tomorrow is Friday!! And the final day of January!!! Which means, for our international brethren and overly caffeinated members - February will be ready to go in a couple of hours. We've got a fantastic January still in progress so let's finish it strong as we move on to February Favorites!! Have a great day.

    There's a saying in St. Louis after last year - "A baseball town with a hockey problem." Based on how the Blues are playing this year and how the Cardinals are basically doing nothing in the off season I've chosen to reverse that. We're a hockey town with a baseball problem!!

    Just to clarify a few points : Beiber has been spending more time in Canada lately since he's a big hockey fan ...we are ok with that.
    Neal young has been wanting out of Canada for 40 years ...congrats , he's yours now .
    Please keep DiCaprio over there or at least out of Alberta. Watching or owning any of his movies will get you jail time in Canada.
    Yous ain't getting Anne Murray ! She's ours.
    That was a fantastic shave btw Chris!
    He used to jump on his bike and head down here to the Sabian cymbal factory in Meductic , New Brunswick on occasion. Rest in Peace Professor!

    Sorry for B. Adams and the Biebs. You are welcome for Rush and Neal.
    Aren’t the Pixies honorary Canucks? They should be. Planet of Sound is definitely north of the 49th in attitude.

    Patrick, congrats on your CT! Very cool! I wasn't around when you earned it, so I can't take credit for setting you up with creative shenanigans, causing you to twist your words, taking them completely out of context, and then tattling to the Queen.

    @jtspartan is on my CT radar. Who's with me?

    Neal, I did notice you were skipping shaves and documented such in my January report for Cartel HQ. After cross shredding it and soaking the aforementioned shreds in Clubman I will be depositing said report into a black plastic bag which will be picked up next Tuesday as per Cartel orders . Awesome shave and will see you in February!
