    Beautiful day here today. Great day on the golf course, and an okay score. The Voskhod Teflon Coated blade held up very well over a week of shaving. ate to put the Aristocrat away, but I only use a razor for one week at a time. Excellent shave soap and Osage Rub finish. DFS this evening. Have a good Monday evening.

  13. keep in mind the above is a Party approved recruitment poster. YMMV. image.jpg
  14. Totally legit. Without that razor I'm not properly shaved, creating a less than desirable appearance to potential clients which could create an unnecessary dip in revenue growth from lack of sales brought on by said appearance.

  18. Definitely for true menthol heads only. Maybe the Russian ice and snow is actually warm to some of @crackstar's setups.

  19. [​IMG] SOTD gents!

    Pre shave: warm water rinse and hot rag
    Razor: Gillette black tip
    Blade: Crystal Super Platnium
    Soap: Col. Conk Bay rum
    Brush: Classic Best Badger
    AS: cold rinse, WH, Adidas Dynamic Pulse, Dove ASB

    I tried a warm bowl lather, but for some reason got a really light fluffy lather without adding any water. I did not offer much protection. But I LOVE the bay rum scent. This was my second shave with the Crystal blade and I still love it. Super smooth, and still only draggy ATG on my neck. It was a decent shave, but nothing to write home about. There's always tomorrow! I will switch back to my Proraso tomorrow and see if that alleviates some of the problems with the draggy portion of this blade. As I progress it seems I can do better with each shave. Just one shave closer to a BBS!
  20. Thank you Comrade. Next up PolSilver Super Iridium.
