    I've tried, it will not cut these stubborn hairs on the neck, I think it might be the near negative blade exposure. Which really sucks because other than the inability to cut those hairs I love it. I'm hopeful, one of these days I will find the right blade combo to wack those hairs.

    Sexy! Although it appears you may be sampling a bit too much of your product.

    You just had to shoehorn in one final shave with an improvised razor, didn't you? :)

    MAYhem 2018!!!!!

    May 31

    Razor - Blade on a Bolt
    Blade - feather-yellow-box-Voskhod.jpg (2)
    Soap - Fatbac
    Brush - Semogue 620
    Post - Alum

    Final night of MAYhem! Some great MAYhem shaves this month and I decided to take it out with one more round with the blade on a bolt. Can't let a Feather go to waste, so time to step back up to the plate. I chose Fatbac because, well, it's unique and it's also slick as grease mixed with oil and ice. The Semogue 620 brush so it's not too easy, though this lather makes anything easy.

    I actually kind of like using this little razor thingy. It's noisy, it chatters, it keeps you totally alert and on your game the whole time. I definitely don't recommend it for newbies or those without good angle control, but if you can get it down it's pretty awesome. Again, I took my time on the first set down to make sure I got it right. Worked WTG then XTG on the second pass. And, I gave it the third ATG pass as well. That gets a little challenging but I made it work. No blood, alum is a bit warm especially in a couple of spots, but the finish is a very nice DFS. I like it.

    Thanks for all the fun and support this month! Can't wait to see what we do with June!!!

    Very well done this month! I believe the student has exceeded the teacher when it comes to you and MAYhem. Great ideas, crazy though they may have been, but you have again proven that it's not the tools that make the shave but the technique in the hands of the shaver. Great work!!
