    Thanks, Terry, but modifying a blade is a far cry from the type of mods you routinely do.

    Thank you Jason. I would have thought the Evo would have already been stocked by a Canadian vendor.

    I have used these blades in my 6C, Model T, my shavettes and the rest of my DE's and have never had a problem with them. Every one's skin, beard, technique, water and other factors will determine what blade works for them. That's why it is a YMMV thing.

    Not at all a chemist here, but it is not advisable to drop Mentos into your bottle of Diet Coke.

    At least not inside.

    And Don't Even screw on the cap.

    Check with 'Chemist Danger' on that one when he is done cherry bombing the commodes, and flaming the Datsun Pick up with the see thru floors.

    He also knows what group of Monks actually make a fruitcake that you can consume instead of PIF. My kind of chemistry 'wraught thar'! PS bring your wallet.... heavy.

    Dan, sounds like you’re well on the way to being a Rex master! Voskhods also pair nicely in the Rex for me, very smooth, and acceptably sharp.

    I think they might have the shave sticks also, but I am not sure.

    @Terry I was thinking... If you like aggressive razors, have you tried the iKon Tek(Tech)? I hear it's a significant step above the R41!!

    Fantastic everything, Bill! Tom's razor has first and second kinds of cool. Skip to 12:15 in the vid.

    1st type of cool - Performance and function.

    2nd type of cool - Individual enjoyment. Off limits to criticize. Because if someone really enjoys the product, that in itself is cool.

    I own an Ikon Tech and it is about as efficient as the 2011 version of the R41. I have a French razor, the Spadson, that is insanely aggressive. That’s a razor that I’ll only use with Voskhods.

    @McCrae, Dan, I just checked Italian Barber and they just sell the Palmolive in tubes. Fendrihan sells the sticks but it is a US company ad shipping is probably more than double tje 3.75 US dollars.

    Two passes with a nice amount of chill for a stellar Saturday afternoon shave.

    Enjoy your day.

    Could be.
    I think it heals up from all the abuse it got for years.
    My face isn't as tender as it used to be, after shaving nowdays.
