Oh, I would love to do that one!
My first wife was in the travel business so I got to accompany her on several cruises, ranging from Alaska to Istanbul. My current wife was dubious at first about going on ships but now she loves them.
Have fun, Marco. Tell the fjords I said hello!

I used my birth year Super Speed this morning and got my typical great shave. I'd be hard pressed to find a better razor or blade in my arsenal.

Today is 03–30-2025 is # 89 of 2025.
Razor: $1.25 Faux Tech- From 7 Day Trail
Blade: Treet 7 Days - Platinum. DAY # 4 USEAGE.
Bowl: N/A
Soap/Cream: Cremo - Refreshing Mint, smells is great.
Brush/Instrument: Fingers/Omega Boar
Extra Stuff: Witch Hazel
Shaved today using the old PIF Gifted, $1.25 Faux Tech- From 7 Day Trail as past 5or 6 days. Shave was three passes, with, across, & against the grain, using a BRAND NEW FRESH - Treet 7 Days - Platinum, chops down Beard like Sharp Knife Cutting Cold Butter, with slight Blade feel, easy as 1, 2, 3, Blade is Super Sharp, and, Efficient. Today was DAY # FOUR for using this Blade, came out of my Orphan Blade Ziplock. Don’t think I will ever stand in any line to rebuy this Blade, just better Blade that work better for me for me at same price point. Blade sent message today, it was loud and clear, TRASH ME, No longer working well. Four days was past useable limit, so the BLADE got TRASHEDafter USE.
Shave today was GOOD Shave but did not achieving perfection rating, would be 9.5+. Results were Good because I payed a lot of attention to Technique, reaped rewards, of DFS for doing so. I do not & never will chase BBS, do but still got great Shave. This is an Ultra Light Weight FAUX Razor with Handle over 4” Long, so it like have baseball bat in hand.
Using same old newly opened fresh Tube of Cremo - Refreshing Mint, Black Cap, opened a New Tube Today. Still working in the Cremo into my beard with my Omega Boar, it seems to helped getting Beard to stand up for closer shave. Working with Brush on Face don’t lather Cremo much, but seem to help raise Beard for Shaving off. Will comment on strength of scent after few days of use.
I am a Vintage Gillette Junkie, That is almost all I own, I can’t imagine much better results from a modern super razor. But my real deal Gillette Vintage Tech's weigh more, are better made, and last Shaves a tad better. FAUX Tech Knockoff did Dam Fine Shave IMHO.

Thank You, its a Rex Ambassador....from their scratch & dent page. I was unusually lucky in that the only blems I can find are two little mill marks inside the lather slots.....other than that it looks mint...I'm NEVER that lucky. Its a great shave for me so far.
Thanks brother, we're back on track & Wifey is sassy as ever !
How does the Bronners soap perform? I picked up a tube of Lime about a month ago and havent tried it yet. I use their bar & liquid soaps regularly...especially in the summer, I think the Tea Tree helps keep the ticks off of me !
I've used tea tree oil in the past to repel brown recluse spiders. Works great!
Thankfully, I haven't seen any at my new place here in Nashville.
I've also read that the Wolf spider (harmless to us, just looks tough) will take out the dangerous spiders as well.

Truly is great head shave particularly ATG. I think the slant has something to do with it. Very efficient on the back of the head and neck where my stubble is thickest (bald on top). I've never had trouble getting a close shave on the sides but the stubble on the back is wiry and stiff and most razors skip or just don't mow through it as well. Of course being the back you can't see what you're doing and holding the perfect angle is more challenging.
Headshave and faceshave
Preshave: Hot towel and Proraso white pre shave lotion
Brush: Simpson Chubby 1 badger
Soap: Moon's Old School whipped up right outta the tub
Razor: PAA copper Ascension
Blade: Accuforge (1)
Shave: The copper Ascension is "twist adjustable" in the fact that you can loosen the handle a little to give the blade more aggression. I tried that ONCE with this razor and scraped off my suntan. Never again. The handle was tightened all the way down for this shave and the razor delivered. With the grain, across the grain, then a cleanup pass with a re-lather in between. Excellent performance from the Old School soap and the badger brush. Made each lathering a very pleasant experience.
Aftershave: Hot towel rinse. Then two splashes of CC bay rum.
Result: 8.5/10.
