  7. Thank you Jared. My choice is the package of Feather Pro blades. I am running very low on them and have the new Brass General arriving today.

  10. Yes, BOCTOK it means "east" or "towards the east".
    3-2-50 I would argue is the manufacturing date of February 3rd, 1950 (remember they put the day of month first). I looked up that date in a Russian History book I have and the only reference I can find to that date is that Klaus Fuchs was arrested on that day.

    Now, the sad part: Do you see where it says" 2104a61ee1dd962e940b27e53bfcd8f5.jpg ?

    Stena is "price".
    " 1p. 50K. " Means 1 Ruble, 50 Kopek - basically, $1.50. Which means I am pretty sure someone made a profit. ;)

  14. Day 10 of 30 days of Henckel straights

    I used my Square Toe 7/8 Henckel 17 today. This is a nice razor. It seems to me that as I increase the size of the razor, the more willing it is to cut through whiskers. It is also I louder razor than the other Henckels.

    I got a really nice 2 pass shave today. I am liking the square toe for the ability to get into tight places, but I am a little wary of the square toe catching something and slicing it off. I did cut myself lightly in two places, but both had stopped bleeding before I was done shaving. Yes, after 40 days I am still cutting myself. But, the cuts keep getting lighter and less often, so I figure I am making progress.
