I changed one thing in my shave tonight which I've never done before. And it was a good thing. Besides using PSO before shaving, I put some on before my third pass, and had a much better shave. This was really smooth and feels great and my best shave ever.

I am testing out the Russian PIF blades I received and using three razors, Slim Adjustable, Flair Tip and my custom Gillette Short Comb all with cold water. When I am done, and it'll take a while, I will post a comprehensive list of how they worked out.
So far so good -- I have not spent another dime on anything; but need to use Teflon tape (that I had) to get the threads to tighten the handle to the head. I can live with that but not forever. Now I am researching TTOs and adjustables...and for now just researching willpower is key 'cuz I see so much stuff I want when meandering TSD and checking members' personal 'dens'. My den would be the saddest picture ever posted on this forum -- it makes me laugh though and I am getting awesome shaves and creating challenges for myself re: technique, etc...
