Thanks Dave...The Razor is a wonderful shaver.

Great shave Clint and hope your mom gets in for the vaccine. What would you compare the feel of the Tradere OC to?

Ahhh...La Toja...
I hope all goes well for your Mom today.
Excellent shave, Clint!

Jason @jtspartan inspired me yesterday to break out the Dscosmetics ZO head which is a stainless steel clone of the R41 Muhle head. Mine is mounted on the Dscosmetics Ladder handle.

The Parker CHST (chrome handle silvertip) did an excellent job with the Soap Commander.

I loaded a fresh Astra SP in the ZO and completed three passes. This is a razor that you do not want to drive on auto pilot. If you take your time and pay attention you are rewarded with a very smooth and efficient shave.

Finished the shave off with a few squirts of Irish Chestnut by Andy Hilfiger. Yes Jason I avoided the Clubman just for you this morning.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!

Thank you Dave. Getting scheduled for the Covid vaccine here in GA is a nightmare. It really shouldn't be this hard. I find the Tradere OC smoother and more efficient than the Yates H Plate.

Thank you Andrew. Love the La Toja.

Great shave Danny and a great value razor from everything I've read. Have a great day !

Wow, that's a glowing endorsement. Thanks and glad I'm in a no buy mode !

Awesome shave and photo Danny.

It was indeed. I've so much appreciated the help from you fellas.

I love the triple-M law firm . Naaah, I'll limit my "fancy" purchases to hand-soaps and one order of Clubman Country Club shampoo(not yet out of the current one, but I know I will be before year's end). As for bodywashes, I'll just go the "free-shipping" route as I say, with Dial or Nivea (both nice "4 Men" bodywashes). It will be interesting indeed to see if I can open up some space in my den, a den which makes others look like they're on steroids in comparison

The only thing I'd want to do(see)in Brooklyn is the location of the old Ebbetts Field. I guess it's just a bunch of apt. blds. today.

I'm not a Bruins fan. I was in the Bobby Orr days, but that ended when they decided to prefer playing "in the trenches" hockey.

That must be a new Vetiver(Drive).

Excellent shave Dave! However, your experiment is flawed because you used two different blades. In order to make a true razor comparison, you should have used two new blades of the same brand. Sorry, that's my science background getting in the way. Have a good day.

They're both just routine shots though, right?

Awesome shave Clint. Hope it works well for your mom. Have a fine day.

January 19th
DS Cosmetic Z0/ Voskhod (2)
Zenith boar/Resin
Palmolive Menthol SC
Thayers
Maol Frosted Frankinlime

An ok shave this morning. I really do find the Voskhod harsh feeling in this clone, but the results were fine. A little left on the lower neck and I’ll give the Rapira SS a run for the next few days in it. The Palmolive ran its course today. I liked this cream, but I don’t think I’ll rush out to repurchase. I prefer the Stick and can always MBomb it. Finished with the quality Maol splash to complete a combo that would have done fine on Menthol Monday. Face felt pretty cold walking the dogs this morning!
Have a great day all.

Joe, No problem and I expected a comment on that hence the comment that I stated, " it isn't a perfect experiment ". It is though an experiment good enough for me to make a decision for myself based on my extensive experience with the blades used. I didn't want to chuck any before put 2 fresh ones in for tomorrow

That's one serious razor! Great shave Danny! Have a terrific day!

Great "ok" shave Jason. Shame the blades don't agree with you but there are plenty of choices out there.
