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.

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!

Unique photo look today! Btw, Ladas is great in almost any razor!

Thanks Chris! I agree they have been exceptional in all my razors and I see a 100 pack in the future.

Nice setup with an excellent razor.

Good picture, great stuff.

Great stuff again @Troy M.

Is it still snowing at your place? We've had a bit of a melt the last few days. Nice picture.

Is that an old Hydrometer?

You did it again, great photo!

Thank you Mike!
