    April 6th
    Razor: Muhle R41 (2013) with iKon Bulldog
    Blade: Voskhod
    Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo
    Soap: TOBS Peppermint
    Aftershave: Proraso Green Balm

    A wonderfully smooth and close 2.5 Pass shave with a fresh Voskhod in my R41. These blades really are smooth. Never felt like getting bitten at any point during the shave. I did end with 2 weepers. Both my fault (obviously) as I over-shaved my jaw/chin. I still class this as one heck of a shave! My face genuinely feels like glass.

    Stay safe and enjoy your shaves gentlemen.

    Great shave, James. I enjoy Voskhods in my R41 (2011) as well.

    Thanks, James, but I don’t think that’s all that unusual with the Proline blades.

    Great shave James! The Voskhods are deceptively sharp.

    it's a fine looking shaver if i remember..if i like this one after a shave or 2 i might indulge.i do like my new deluxe version of your razor..i haven't invested a lot in the old type blade design razors so far..my old type wasn't very nice to me,but that was lack of technique..

    I don’t have any buyer’s remorse with this razor, Joe. I sure did with the H&S No75 I bought. It just never performed for me, so I sold it.
