Robert! If you like Ladas, you should probably try Voskhod blades, they are sharp and comfy my friend.
My first razor purchase was a Clog-Pruf Micromatic and it hadn't seen action in a long, long time. Today it got it's chance. My technique must have improved because I don't ever remember getting this great of a shave from it. Smooth from the get go and a result that leaves nothing to be desired. AGAIG.

SOTD March 28, 2016 Prep: Warm shower Blade: Personna lab blue Razor: Vintage Gillette Travel Tech Brush: Trader Joe's synthetic Lather: Soap Commander Endurance Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Fine Platinum, Nivea sensitive balm WTG, XTG, touch-up Pretty close shave with the Travel Tech and Soap Commander this morning. I started off with a lather that was much too wet. So I scrapped it and started over. Got a nice, thick lather, but perhaps needed a little more water because it dried just a little bit on my neck. But that wasn't a big deal. The Travel Tech is an efficient razor once you get used to the small handle. I'm traveling so I have a little more time to go with two passes instead of the usual one with touch-up. That's leading to some closer shaves. I hope you all have a great Monday!
