Razor: Gratiot Krect Spiral Curve Slant
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: @Graydog Cocobolo/Synbad
Soap: Sir Henry's Black Velvet
AS 1: Witch Hazel
AS 2: Nivea Deep
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,509

Stupendous shave today from both software and hardware. The sample of Black Velvet (Black Pepper and Vetiver Scent) made a ton of lather from a very small amount that was put into the lather bowl. The lather was creamy soft, provided great cushion/glide and slickness with a subtle scent that was there to enjoy without being overpowering. The razor never disappoints me. While I'm not sold on the slant being a better shaver because of a gullitine effect or anything, this razor just gives a smooth and micro-close shave and has always been a favorite. It's a favorite because of the shave it gives, the scarcity of them and the cool design of it since it is not the typical screw apart 3 piece design. Showing -4 degree right now and I can hear the wind howling outside about it's power and the windchill effect ( -25 to -35 I'm told till 4 pm today) it is producing so I will sit here and sip my coffee while enjoying the silence. Have a great day everyone and stay warm as I know this blast is hitting many worse than us !

Prep: ESC pre shave oil mixed with Proraso sensitive pre shave cream
Brush: Boti 22mm tuxedo synthetic
Razor: Karve Overlander
Blade: Perma-Sharp Super (1)
Cream: Signature Soaps Valentia
PS 1: Ariana & Evans Cuban Highball

The first shave with my new Karve Overlander, once it was recovered from my neighbour's house, and just in the nick of time to take away with me for Christmas. An absolute beauty on the first outing, I'm looking forward to using it over the next 10 days.

On a side note, I found my new Boti synthetic very stiff, but I glued the knot in myself so I'm worried I may have used too much glue or something? Will have another go after Christmas and see if it softens up.
