New Years Eve shave.



Gillette Fatboy Razor (Voskhod)
Ethos DFS sample
Omega Boar Brush
Alt Innsbruck AS

Back to where it (shaving) began for me.  My first shaves were with Bic disposable plastic turds.  The next razor I got was this Fatboy. My Dad had one. So why not, right? Circa 1986. Loaded with the Acme branded DE blades. Because my dad worked at Acme markets from the 60's till the late 80's. The blades were ok. But after 3 or 4 shaves they fell off pretty quick. And being cheap I usually kept on with them for prolly 9-10 shaves. Tugging pulling and generally pissing me off. One reason why daily shaves were not in the SOP. 
Canned shave cream was used as well.  
Thankfully for this shave. Voskhod is the blade. The soap is most certainly not in a can.  Using this razor is basically second nature. With it set to 4 with a fresh blade. And up to 5 after two or three uses. But since they are so cheap they are usually tossed after the fifth use. No more tugging with a DE for me. 
New years went uneventfully for the missus and I. 
Hope you guys are all enjoying 2022 so far.

Last nights shave. To get ready for the looong day. 
Up And at em at 0200. It’s 0545 now and Bob, AST Barbie, Mini Me and myself are done pre-salting our snow route. Now it’s time to scrounge up a breakfast sammich and a second coffee. Road temps are still above freezing and the snow that is falling is not sticking to them. So all good so far. 
New year. Don’t forget to write 2022 on all your documents and correspondence.

Changing the year messes me up for about a week.

Hope you have an uneventful day Ken ! How do you like the V1 Dragonsbeard...................and be brutally honest because it will be in print..... well actually because I want your honest opinion

The PSA regarding 2022 is appreciated! Hope all goes well for you and your team!

Just a dusting here..........

Well Dave in KY   the Oleo is a nice soap. I have had a couple of her soaps. All have had good performance. That said the scent of this is not one that I could see buying a full tub of. 
That’s why samples are a skippy thing to take advantage of when available.

Good to know about the scent. Had what's left in my V1 tub and have another home for it but wanted to be sure you wouldn't want it first.

I appreciate you checking. But yes send it on to another lucky contestant of “Is the soap right?”
