With those five Russians I predict some of the finest shaves you'll have. Not a bad one in the bunch. That's almost cheating it's so good.

There's a boo ridin in the branches, chiddren

I'll be using only my 30DC brush. I may or may not zero in on a razor for the month. Soaps? Planning on finishing out some samples to make space for more.
