    Nice shave but I think the Gem blade is at it's end. So, the question is, "What will I use tomorrow"? Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Now go enjoy your day folks

  8. Neillite Four Hundred, my first outing. If I had stopped with the beard I'd say an unqualified success, smooth and efficient, almost exclusively settling on the aggressive side of the razor. I couldn't get it to perform similarly on my head shave, stubborn stubble kept thumbing its nose at the Neillite and the stubble won. Plus my biggest weeper since my first dance with Tom's killer Bunny. I'm tempted to say it's not you it's me because it did so well on the beard, maybe it's angle or pressure, or an obscure Bakelite incantation. Another try called for.[​IMG]

  12. Da comrades, the Motherland sings her glory when you shave with one of these. :happy036: No kidding. This is a 1956 Extra from the ZTV factory. It has to be the sharpest edge I've ever put to my face. With a shallow angle it made shaving easy peasy and whacked those whiskers like no one's business. But, come in a little too steep and you'll know it immediately - she likes to taste blood. No messing around with this one. Do what she wants or pay the price. Obey and you'll never doubt her. :)

  13. PRE CONCERT SHAVE

    Razor: Razorock Mission
    Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel (1st)
    Soap: Williams Mug
    Brush: Omega S-Brush
    Post Shave: Aloe Lotion

    Ok we are back on track. I replaced the awful Voskhod blade with the very nice Rapira Swedish Supersteel. This wasn't the best shave of my life because I'm dealing with some residual irritation from my last shave with the Voskhod. It was good though. After a hot shower and nice 2 pass shave, the irritation is already going down !!!
  14. Great shave today. The Auto Strop vc1 is easily the most aggressive razor I own. The comb doesn't really do much.[​IMG]

  19. It's not good enough that we see the nice Old Spice mug, but you had to finish it off with the great-looking brush. :)
