Tonight's shave was with a Russian Beauty. I had the 1st pass done, and it was a DFS. With the second pass, ATG, I ended up with a BBS shave. I always enjoy using these Russian Razors. They usually aren't the prettiest, but the deliver some of the best shaves ever. This one was noisy, super sharp, and smooth. Everyone should own one or two Russian Razors, just for the Shave Of It.

Razor- Stiz, "Dawn", Made in Moscow. 1975

August 12


Razor - 1959 (E1) Gillette Fatboy (9)
Blade - (12)
Soap - Proraso Red
Brush - BoS Omega 10066
Post - Alum

Twelfth day on the Personna 74. The Fatty wide open on its third run with the blade. After my mini-rants about soaps and such I decided to go "classic" and even "budget classic" with the Proraso Red tub. Nice sandalwood scent and Proraso, like the other soaps in its "class", does nothing more than just produce a fine lather. Slick and protective and overall very nice. Add it to the list of soaps that, once I use them again, I find myself asking why I ever spent more on soaps. Well, anyway........

Two passes and touch ups. I'm trying to evaluate after about 30 minutes whether or not I can call BBS or not. And, if I'm still debating it I probably can't. But it's still extremely close. The shave was as smooth as ever and honestly, it's obvious the blade is still going strong. I noticed @Primotenore , who is a day ahead on his blade, made the comment that 13 is usually where it fades for him. Well his 13th was fine and mine will be tomorrow. I'm getting more and more anxious to find out how far this thing can go. Could the remaining four in my pack be enough to last a year? Ok, probably not but man this is a nice blade.

It's Monday for most of you tomorrow. Well, it is for everyone but you know what I mean. I worked a total of 10 hours today between my real job and DoorDash. Tomorrow will be a 13 hour day between beds and GrubHub. One thing is for sure - I'm rarely bored. Hope your week gets off to a good start!

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Wash

Jayaruh #270
RazoRock Black Hawk
Feather Professional

Osage Rub

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #270 brush. I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor with a Feather Professional SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
