    Same great shave as yesterday. Smooth and clean face all the way around, with no irritation. Excellent shaves with this blade! In fact, THE ABSOLUTE BEST TWO SHAVES OF MY LIFE, REALLY! (@NCoxSTL How's that NC? Am I good with the Cartel yet? I'm planning to use it tomorrow again, if that helps?!)

  16. Thanks for the reminder Mr.C!
    I used these during my initial 30-day RULE back in June. (When I was still a wet-behind-the-ears shaver!)

    I need to revisit them soon. I guess I've been testing the vast array of blade options we have for DE razors...and I haven't even hit but the tip of the iceberg yet.

    btw - mine were the made in India version.

    Same procedure today, added a little menthol crystals to this soap, and it worked out very well. I am very surprised at the Voskhod blade. It provides a very close shave with very little resistance. Glides very smoothly in in the Aristocrat. Pretty well kept the same angle of attack tonight as I'm still learned this new blade.

  19. Thanks. This job isn't a killer so it's all good. I've always been a workaholic anyway so no worries there.
