Morning frost and mid-morning heat: what a stupid weather!

The scent of the Valobra I used fitted the today situation, as did all the other performers.

You know how you hear the russians are tough? Like they bathe in ice water, pain threshold is beyond that of anyone else? Almost like they are skin is made of steel and well you know the stereotype.

This russian razor is no joke. And the angle is nuts. This was my first shave with it and i dont know what just happened. Lol so i started off with a new perma-sharp. The shave was rough and i mean like it was just scraping. I was really worried that my face was gonna be feeling it after. So I changed the blade to a Voshkod and it didnt feel any better. This razor scrapes the hair off and it doesnt mess around. This razor has anger issues and it has some hatred for facial hair. Now its not aggressive feeling like r41 or the dart or some of these other razors, it just is. The end result is well.... i’m BBS smooth with no sting and no razor burn. I did get a couple of small nicks but im seriously confused with my shave. I feel like i was man handled by Helga but feel great afterward..

Oh and the soap was slick, the razor was just in a IDGAF mood. Lol

Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Personna Platinum (5)
Brush: Rubberset Aluminum 400 #3 Boar Original knot
Soap: Nuavia Verde
Aftershave: Old Spice Lime
Bowl: The Castle Shave Co.

Guess I'm doing a shave soap rule with Nuavia. I have two more to use then on to something else. It is a great soap in my opinion. I'll stay with my Rubberset Aluminum brushes until I have used them all. The Merkur 34C is a fine razor. I did have one come apart on me one time. It took me forever to get it together again.
