You can exact revenge by choosing my shave (right above yours).
OK. Let's go for the Schulze 6/8 and the Provence Sante verlaine soap...

Argh! The Provence Sante was the bullet, and the Schulze has been giving me all sorts of trouble with honing. Maybe I'll grow a beard.
Nah. I'll try the combo. This'll be fun.

People will smell you from a mile away.
I get your point, but the AD's have been kind to my wallet, so the only bullets I have, give me irritation
. So putting a bullet in, would be like ruining my shave on purpose.Here we are, already to go on my Russian odyssey!
Went with the Экстра instead of my Столичная.

Well, first time I've used Godrej with a straight. Probably the last time as I didn't dodge that bullet. Not slick enough for a straight in my opinion. I got weepers is several spots and the lime makes the weepers sting on the second and third passes. I even started with some Em's Place Lime Citrus preshave gel to ease into the Godrej.
It's been a while since I used the Экстра so I gave it 5 passes over the CrOx strop before doing my usual stropping. Sucker came out sharp! No pulling or tugging at all, sharp enough to give me weepers for the first time with a straight.
The Aqua Velva and the lime mixed pretty well - I was pleasantly surprised. Putting the AOS Sandalwood on top seemed pretty weird to me, but when my wife kissed me she said, "Aqua Velva and something else. Whatever it is, I like it." I figured it would kill her because of her sensitive nose. You could have knocked me over with a feather (not the blade).
So, to sum up, of the 4 bullets, one hit me square in the face and one nicked me. Teach me to play Russian roulette with a Russian.

So I cheated a bit on this shave, forgive me, I used celestial woods instead of sandalwood for the shave. This shave brought back memories of when I was a boy scout. We used to go on a campout in the snow called Klondike and with the vostok I felt like I had just got out of my nice warm sleeping bag and gathered a tub full of snow to use as shave soap. The smell of the forest surrounding me muttled by the snowball that just got thrown in my face while eating a candycane. It's like I used that snowball to cover my face and decided, hey I should with this icy goodness since its nothing more than frozen water melting on my face leaving the ultimate amount of slickness to shave with. Following the shave of winter ice I used some captains choice bay rum with brought me back to my time living in Fiji sitting on an uninhabited island basking in the sun after scuba diving with the sharks all morning sipping on
a coconut with a mini umbrella while reading under the palm trees. I guess this is me saying thanks you for bringing back some of my fondest memories.

I'd be surprised if there were any bullets in that lineup, but you never know.

This sounds like a lot of fun! Good idea!

I completed the shave. Tug of war only begins to describe it. I thought I'd done a better job honing, this time. In the shave, though, I had to go over areas multiple times, and it STILL looked like I hadn't shaved. I didn't cut myself, but only because the razor couldn't even have cut a cobweb.
