Razor - Wolfman WR1 Polished OC .74 gap
Blade - Voskhod
Brush - Shavemac MB2
Pre-shave cream - Proraso
Soap - Barrister and Mann Hallows
Osma Alum block
After shave - Barrister and Mann Hallows

Today was a day of firsts. My first shave with Voskhod blades, first with an open comb and first with an aggressive razor (0.74).
Everything passed with flying colors. As the immortal Tony Stark would say, “It’s not enough to be against something. You have to be for something better.” And this is better than anything I have used.
After my second pass, I only needed a touch up to get a BBS shave. Don’t get me wrong, I felt the alum in a few spots but with the fact I was using a new, aggressive razor and blade, it's a minor detail. I am looking forward to using this combination again.

Cheers

Thursday, May 24, 2018 - Shave of the Day

Brush  |  Maseto Shaving
Soap  | L&L Grooming Cuir et Épices
Razor  |  Timeless SB / Voskhod Teflon
A/S  |  Stirling Gentleman

Rabid Banana pre shave cube, PAA Solstice soap, Green Ray/Tribble synthetic brush, DGE razor with Astra blade, Dapper Doc aftershave.

First use of the SuperMax BDT in my reference Shake Sharp v1.0 (in my usual twin configuration) . First impression is smoother than the Karve-D and at least comparable in efficiency. I think I'll add the C plate for the Karve and see how that fares, but if the Karve doesn't best it I really don't imagine I'll find anything that does.
