    I hadn't heard of them because most of my razors are vintage and cheap. I don't move in the world of modern and expensive. Way outside my budget, and I tend to prefer vintage.

    A few minor cuts today-perhaps due to the fact that my shave soap is thinning out? That was the first thing I thought of, anyway.

    Doug-the first time I saw those snow-white brushes, it made me wonder.....how can one tell if there's enough soap loaded? Blends right in, I'd think

    That would be at around 40(or 3o, if "decades" means more than two decades). At the Senior Center in my hometown, you need to be 60 or over to qualify.

    Neither is timely shipping on your bowl....:happy102:

    Looks like I'm having a night similar to yours last week, Brian. I am 1 and a half hours into a delay in the Vancouver Airport.

    OCtober!!!

    October 6

    Razor - Gillette New LC Delta Echo Raffle Winner
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Soap Commander Courage
    Brush - 30 DC LE
    Post - Alum

    Third shave on the Feather and again a smooth shave. I have to be honest and say I don't notice a great deal of difference between the Feather and Voskhod anymore. I'd like to think it's technique that makes them nearly equal. Both are excellent blades, both sharp, and while the Feather may be a touch sharper I'm getting nothing but smooth shaves with little irritation anymore. Of course, the New LC may help with that as well.

    The Tuxedo knot in the LE brush is a lather monster. Seems to hold water a bit more than the other two synths I have, but that's not a bad thing. Seriously, fastest lather I've made with Soap Commander. Great slick and cushy lather that really made the shave feel great.

    Tomorrow we take a short break for a bit of fun. I'm working on a special item even as we speak. Something that came up over at the favorite gear thread. Not sure I can pull it off but I'm trying. I hate to disappoint my fans. Both of you deserve my best efforts!

    Well, as the proud owner of not one but two Joris razors you can now be snooty with the best of us, because you very definitely are moving in the world of modern and expensive...

    He'll soon be shaving with a glass of champagne and a bowl of caviar at the sink. With gold-encrusted fixtures.
