Beautiful Mate! Where's the Koala?

 

That is a "sick" brush! (To use the vernacular!)

 

Thanks buddy!

 

She does now....

Decadent December!!

December 2


Razor - Soviet Mladost 2
Blade - (2)
Soap - Tabac
Brush - BoS Omega 10066
Post - Alum, Nivea

After last night's success with the Mladost 2 I was pretty fired up to give it another go this evening. A Soviet DE that produced a BBS?! Even with a Voskhod that is pretty impressive. Clearly I have skilllzzzzzzz. Well, you know what pride goes before.

I can't say I fell hard tonight but I can say the razor proved it's a Soviet. Nippy little you know what. Nothing major, just had a harsher feel and left a few tiny spots of blood to let me know either it isn't happy or else I am too careless. Don't dare treat it like a Gillette. It demands more respect whether it deserves it or not.

I managed a two pass with touch up DFS with, as I said, only very minor blood in a few places. The harshness showed its hand tonight but.....still better than the Soyuz 1 by far and, honestly, really no worse than the RazoRock TTO treats me. We'll see what the third night does with it.

Seeing some fantastic gear about this month already for those going all out to celebrate a little decadence in their shaves. The selfish, society killing kind where you go totally overboard. Now THAT'S decadence!

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

My brother got me a Stirling Bay Rum which does match very nicely with WAHL Bay Rum Aftershave and I'm really enjoying the Stirling shaving soap product, I don't want to get too many soap otherwise I won't keep up with all my other soaps I've already have.

 

Dec 3rd:

This morning at 8:30 am, 2 passes, DFS

1. Gillette Tech ball: light but efficient!
2. Voskhod/2
3. Semogue 820
4. Arlington cream (DR Harris)
5. Myrsol plastic (pre/after shave)
6. Mr Barbier balm (excellent product, go to www.monsieurbarbier.com)

Excellent setup with a beautiful brush. What is your experience with the Myrsol Cream, or is it more like soap?

 

Nice shot Richard.

 

So that's how you spell vernacular.
