One way to find out if you've properly chambered a round into your AK-74, simply look into the muzzle and pull. Your answer will arrive at 2900 feet per second.
That's part of the problem. A touch too much libation and you start seeing double sets of numbers. My mistake was in failing to offer the accountant libation to make sure he saw the same numbers. Rookie mistake.
Never trust your drunken cartel accountant unless it's time to trust the drunken cartel accountant. Just saying. Pass the ossetra while you're at it...
Congrats Charlie. And to think it all started with one New LC. It's understandable, the New is really a great razor. I am interested in your thoughts on the SC. Thinking I might need to look for one of those myself.
10/13/15 Gillette Old Type Vulfix Super Badger (660) Proraso Sandalwood cream Aqua Velva Ice Blue Shave #3 with the Personna Platinum (Israeli Red) in my Old Type. After switching to the Vulfix badger yesterday, decided to bring back the Proraso Sandalwood cream today. Did face lather and 2 full passes: Pass 1 XTG. Good reduction. Pass 2: ATG. Almost a BBS at this point. A cold water rinse followed by a small amount of touch up in my problem areas left me with what I thought was a BBS shave. The Aqua Velva was yelled a bit today, but settled down quickly. After it dried, I found that while I was BBS almost everywhere (including all of my trouble spots) I had somehow left a tiny spot under my right sideburn that was only DFS+. A comfortable near BBS from the Personna Platinum (Israeli Red) in my Old Type. No irritation, but if I'd paid just a bit more attention during my cold water rinse, I might have had a BBS. Tomorrow I break out the Rapira Swedish Supersteel for my last 3 shaves this month with the Old Type. Then I'll move on to the New LC that Omaney (Tony) so generously provided.
OCtober Focus Day 13: Homemade PS Oil Stirling Synthetic Brush Mitchell's Wool Fat Schick Type C1 Stirling Unscented PSB Captain's Choice Bay Rum AS Day 3 with this razor, and I am sporting a DFS. I do have a little irritation, but not too bad. I am going on another trip next week, and I will be taking this razor with me, so I am going swap to my Micromatic OC to get to know that razor a bit.
10/13/2015 Razor – Wolfman OC with Triad Helix SS Blade – Feather (1) Brush – Olivewood with TGN Finest Fan Lather – Soap Commander Renewal Post - Witch Hazel & Fine L’Orange Today's shave was one of those that everything just clicked. I went with a traditional 3 pass shave and with a few touch ups in the trouble spots ended up with near perfect shave. Soap Commander is a fantastic soap that is easy to lather as well as slick and protective. The Renewal scent is very fresh and clean. Finished off with a splash of Fine L'Orange and I ready for the work day. Hope everyone has a great day.
30 day focus - Day 13 Fat Boy set to 8 Rapira Swedish Blade MDC Face Lathered 3 passes I opened the Fat Boy up to 8 and the shave was very nice. I am not sure if it is better than at 7 or not, but I will give it a couple of days to see.

Gold Bond Ultimate Aftershave: WSP Tobacco Yesterday's shave was a bit closer than I normally like. I used the very efficient Rocket and boy was I rewarded with a nice shave, WSP soaps are excellent quality and buy. I have a love for synthetic brushes, but this boar is pretty darn good!
