    Here's hoping you get it worked out! I've had great results with acupuncture for back and shoulder issues. Good luck!

    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.

    Douglas Carey Wildman

    Razor: Gillette Aristocrat 1947 (Birth Razor)
    Blade: Voskhod Teflon Coated (2)
    Brush: WDC-4 Silver Tip Butterscotch Handle (VIG) 24/67
    Bowl: Knock Out Shave
    Soap: Jack's Soap
    A/S: Pinaud Musk
    Day 7

    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.

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