    Thanks, Jim. I'll have a better feel for the Voskhods tomorrow. So far they seem on par with the Personnas I've been using.

    I enjoy following your progress, and your posts are top-notch, Tim.

    I'm sorry to hear about your displeasure with the Variant. May I suggest hanging on to it at least until after the shavette focus? Assuming it is not defective, I bet you'll get better results from it then. I've seen a few instances where someone puts an item away, comes back to it later, and gets better results.

    Very nice hotel shave, Joseph. Glad to hear about your positive experiences with the cream and blades. Safe travels.

    As far as 'the stuff' goes, I know it is a lot, but it is the way it was for my first 30 day rule. It never failed me so I go back to it once in awhile.

    I was after total comfort today so I did the hot towel routine and everything else.

    Went for 4 light touch passes and finished up with as good a straight shave as I ever got. Relaxing and fun.

    The Sunday Shaver was sent out for a 30k Shapton edge, which was quite edgey. I mellowed it out some on pasted balsa.

    You know, Charlie, you may be right! Spectroscopic and Fourier analysis indicate that a second integral of the Spadson head to bar/comb ratio may indicate disenfranchised frambulation attributeable to a potentiated interdimensional vortex! What are your thoughts?
