    Wow! Charlie, you really have lost some weight. Now you are moonlighting as a jockey. You earned that delicious meal after exercising the horses.

    TGIF with a Nichiri "Real Japanese Hollow Ground" razor. An excellent shave except for one minor mishap, I rolled the blade a bit and gave myself a small cut. So it truly was blood on steel today, a little alum sealed up.

    Razor: Nichiri 6/8 full hollow
    Strop: Tony Miller
    Brush: Yaqi
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: Blood on Steel 1st edition
    AS: Blood on Steel AS, Stirling ASB
    Scent: Creed Green Irish Tweed

    Adjustable Arko August!!

    August 8

    Razor - Soviet Consul (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
    Post - Alum

    Third and final shave for this round with the Soviet Consul. I still like this razor better than any other Russian. It actually works!! It makes the Gillette adjustables look mild by comparison and it delivers smooth shaves everytime. Granted, if the angle gets off a bit you can get into some trouble, but hold it steady and it's a fantastic razor. Soviet engineering that works. Who'd a thunk it! The Voskhod, of course, is still smooth and sharp. I could easily run a Voskhod 4 to 6 shaves but always chooe to bail on a blade after 3. That way there are no nasty surprises. The Wolf is still a fantastic brush with the grade A Silvertip knot in a very classy and well made handle. Three passes, quiet alum, BBS. That's all folks. Friday is upon us!!!

    Apologies in advance... this is quite the Shavette Fu special::scared003:
    Nice, simple on focus shave this morning, Jim.
    Love the perfectly matched razor and brush, Jim.
    Good luck, Perry! I know you’ll have another great year. Your students are lucky to have you.
    Nice shave, Clint. The knot certainly looks as dense as a Simpsons Synthetic. A little scritch is just fine. The olive wood looks very cleanly done as well.
    I had a little red on the mug myself today, Joseph. Great minds...:eatdrink047:
    You’ve inspired me to get my Zenith into a handle toute suite, Blair! Great pairing with the Felce as well.
    What stately looking buildings, Charlie. Very cool. The Hot and Sour soup looks fantastic as well...
    97 shaves! A great accomplishment, Joe. What are you going to do when you are done?
    More red on mug? Me as well. Yup, Great minds...
    I find myself going the other way, Neal, and pulling blades at 3 only when I’m pulling the same razor. When I put a razor back on the shelf, I’ll use a blade until it feels dull. Never did worry about dice or something similar.
