I have several things that I can send you. I am a big fan of Russian steel.
What blades have you tried so far? Let me know and I will put together a small sampler.

So far I’ve tried: Astra SP, Crystal, Derby Extra, Dorco ST300, Feather, Kai, Personna Platinum, Shark Super Chrome, Voskhod.
Out of those I’d say my best experiences have been with the Kai’s. Runners up would be Astra SP and Voskhod.

Journal Entry #27 (2 shaves)
Still running the same Fatip/Voskhod setup for the last 2 shaves.
For Thursday night, I stuck with the WSP Bay Rum soap and accidentally grabbed the Stirling Bay Rum AS afterwards. I got a little ribbong from the wife about smelling like a ham again, but otherwise a good shave. DFS all around and no major issues. I’m starting to really enjoy the line notes in the WSP Bay Rum.
I skipped a shave shave on Friday as we had a busy day planned. Saturday I had enough time to get back to it. I decided To switch up the soap/AS and went with the trusted GTB for both. As usual it did not disappoint and seemed to give some life back to the Voskhod blade. I walked away a with a little irritation on the neck and a solid DFS. Pretty good in my book. The irritation faded quickly also, so it wasn’t too bad. Today is Sunday, so I think I’ll switch up the razor and blade combo and see what happens...
In non shaving related news, it’s been a busy weekend so far. Friday the wife and I headed into Philly to go to the Mudder Museum. A museum of medical anomalies. It was cool, gross, terrifying, and educational all at the same time lol. We then got adventurous and headed down to Penn’s Landing on the Delaware River to see the Tall Ships Festival. It was about 6 sail boats of varying sizes from different countries. We took a tour of Segras out of Portugal. I’m not really big into boats so most of it was lost on me lol. Still pretty cool if you’re in the area and are looking for something different to do.
Saturday was not as fun as it was spent at Home Depot buying a new lawn mower and grill....2 things I hadn't planned on replacing this year. But it happens, the ones being replaced had lasted me quite a few years so I cant complain.

Thanks Josh!
The streak lives on!
Haha thanks Chris! The museum was really cool. No photography allowed though since a lot of what is on display are remains. Out of respect for their families they don’t allow pictures.
Hmm...Ham and Eggs!
Ham and eggs....could be the next limited edition scent!!!!
Limited edition in my belly!

It is really neat. I heard about it years ago but never went until this weekend. Totally worth it if you’re in the area.
Catching up Steve, some very nice narratives, Good job
