I couldn't agree more! I keep inquiring but getting answers from Russia is a bit like pulling teeth from a hen. I seriously doubt any are being made, but it's the eerie silence that keeps me asking more people and digging for the truth.
You take our eggs and now you want our teeth?!?!? May God have mercy on your soul because we will not!!!!
SOTD May 23, 2016 Injector/SE Focus Prep: Warm shower Blade: GEM Stainless PTFE Razor: GEM Featherweight Brush: Artisan badger with hand-turned maple handle Lather: Maggard's Orange Menthol shaving soap Post: Witch hazel splash, Maggard's Orange Menthol, Nivea sensitive balm WTG, XTG Woke up a little earlier than normal and therefore had more time to shave! Went with a full two pass shave and it was a good one. The Maggard's products are great. I was impressed with the quality of the soap and the moisturizing aspects of the after shave. The scent is really nice - not sweet or fake orange smell - more like orange rind and zest. Really nice. The GEM Featherweight and PTFE blade were fantastic again today. I had almost 48 hours of beard growth and it mowed right through all of it in a smooth, comfortable fashion. Really enjoyable and fun razor. The soap, after shave, and brush are all courtesy of @Drygulch through a PIF and a purchase. The brush is really fantastic and the other products were quite enjoyable too. I hope you all have a great Monday!
May Focus Day 22: Stirling Synthetic Brush Stirling Cool SS Injector Type J Stirling Unscented PSB Aqua Velva AS
Monday focus shave Dovo Bismarck because this week is board of directors week so no MAYhem, the pain sticks are on hold. My normal 4 passes and all is well in Seoul. Irritation A Closeness A Smoothness A Sharpness A; As across the board.
First shave with the Mongoose, used the Kai blade. I was worried this might not be a pick up and go razor, and that it might have a learning curve. Did a wet lather with my Jeeves of Hudson Street soap for an amazing lather. First pass, N/S foucusing on using no pressure. And that's a single pass DFS. Second pass, S/N, almost there. Time to chase the baby, which I don't normally normally do on the first shave with a razor. Caught the little bugger. Overall, an amazing shave. My only complaint with the Mongoose was how often I had to rinse the head. I think my overall shaving technique has gotten to the point where I don't really struggle as much when using a new razor.
