    ETHOS Succés~~Plisson 16 HMW~~2011 Mühle R41/Voskhod (4)~~Creed Aventus (19S11)
    The Voskhod is starting to grab. It's very apparent, especially with the uber-aggressive R41.
    Not pictured is a bar of Creed Aventus bath soap. I bring it out only on special occasions.
    Just got an unsolicited compliment from a work colleague.

    Super duper set-up, Joseph! I’m not a big frag user, but I may pick up a bottle of Aventus sometime. I like the copycats, so I’m sure the real thing is even better.

    Aventus is one of Dr. Mrs. Primo's favorites.

    Totally relate with this, Keith. I have mixed feelings, though, as it takes freaking forever to 3017 a tub of soap. If I continue with this methodology, I may die before I get to the best ones

    Allow this old hillbilly to cast the vision... start with the best (fancy) ones, and make it your goal to use 'em all up, Randy. (The gals always talk about using the fine China, right?) Hope all is well, brother.

    You missed a spot on your chin, by the way. ;)

    I grant you the right of first refusal. I am giving it serious thought, it was a hard one to find and the steel is excellent.

    Great to hear from you Randy. Just start with the best ones. I am trying to use the soaps that are excellent but not ones I will replace. I still do take some variety from time to time.

    I am glad I rediscovered my Futur, I do like the way this razor shaves. The vintage Brut always puts a smile on my face but how will it do at the Piggly Wiggly? Wasn't sure if I would be required to to do a deep dive so wore my Helberg watch which good to at least 6,000 meters beneath the waves. Making steady progerss on the XXX. TGIF!

    ABC Sapone da Barba~~Carter-Era Simpson 58~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed/Voskhod~~Creed Green Irish Tweed
    Moved the 5x used Voskhod to a milder razor.
    Ended up doing a lot of buffing to get a good shave.
    It's binned.
    This is pretty typical for this blade.
    Stankin' good with the Creed.

    MWF Cavendish~~Semogue Taj Resin Boar~~Barbasol Floating Head/Voskhod (1)~~T. Habanero
    The
    Cavendish-infused MWF lathered like a champ. Slick, dense and protective.
    The scent is fantastic.
    Fresh Voskhod in the stunning Floating Head. What a razor.
    T. Habanero is not, as the name might imply, spicy. T = tobacco. Habanero = a man from Havana.
    Tobacco stank with an opening of barnyard oud.
    Oh yea. Primo's kind of stank.
