    Wonderful shave with my only Japanese razor. Supremely sharp and tremendously efficient in performance. Once again we have another hot day here on LI. Joe, @Trigger, is ecstatic! Heat or no heat, I will not be deterred from a three pass shave. I just enjoy the time and the process of being on my own world while shave. I love the challenge that using a straight razor brings to the table and a sense of satisfaction when all proceeds according to plan.

    I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

    Thanks Jeff! This razor that you gifted me is the ultimate headshaver. I like my R102, Schick E2, and my Rockwell razors for the task, but I always go back to this razor when I want almost a sure and easy, bloodless headshave.

    Gillette 109 @ 9
    Voskhod blade (fresh)
    Napa Soap Company - Ocean Blend shave soap
    Razorock 400 synthetic brush
    Cremo Bourbon and Oak EdT

    Awesome shave this morning. The Voskhod is a smooth combo with the 109.

    The Napa Soap is not the best soap in the den but it does a decent job and has a great post shave feel.

    I hope everyone is doing great!

    Great Black Beauty shave, Danny! Voskhods are nice smooth blades. I have enough to last me into the next millennium! I should sell them! All I really tend to use in my DEs are Feathers. :(

    FuzzTech on Maggard's MRT handle.
    Astra SP blade - snapped
    MrEE LE #011 handle with Dscosmetics synthetic knot
    Mitchell’s Wool Fat Soap
    Cremo Bourbon and Oak EdT

    Awesome and fun shave this morning. One could not ask for better lather and the FuzzTech took care of business. The FuzzTech on the MRT is a nice handling combo.

    Happy Friday everyone!
