Razor Karve Brass OC-D
Blade Silver Star Duridium 5th
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel BayRum + Clubman VIBR + Stirling Frost Drops
An amazing underrated soap! Excellent lather qualities...rich creamy and very slick!
This shave with the razor paired with this vintage blade was another surprise. Not smooth...a little jumpy but the efficiency was good. Managed 3passes for a mixed bbs/dfs/ccs finish with 3 micro red spots. The aftershaves mix was awesome and cooling!

That's definitely my favorite Karve plate.

Another quick shave. Rosie still doesn’t like being crated for too long.

Good shave this morning, first outing with the captain brush, thank you @Boycie83. Unsurprisingly didn't feel anywhere near as dense as the Chubby 2 Manchurian, which frankly was a bit of relief. I like the Chubby but don't love it, this one I may get on better with but a little time will tell. It may be that I just don't get on with their manchurian hair, may have to look into the SiLVERTiP.

Smooth and refreshed with help from the Kilbreck, can't praise barts gear highly enough. Has he done away with the lotions? Fingers crossed not and I was just blind when looking at the site!

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Good morning all,

Prep, hot shower
Music, Del Amitri
Brush, Boti Blue
Blade, Silver Star Super Stainless Lord (1st use)
Razor, Razorock 84 plate
Cream, Simpsons Sandalwood
ASB, Simpsons Sandalwood

Very impressed with this cream. A small amount lathered up with ease. Very campachoochoo. Scent was very nice. Not too overpowering, old school, fresh.

It went on well and provided a good surface to work on. Usual 3 grain pass. Absolutely zero issues. No irritation. A very clean and close shave. And a great way to start the day.

Have a good one all!

Best,

Ben

Very light, short strokes with the SE1 Calypso got the job done this morning. A good, slick lather with the soap and two passes with the razor was enough for a mostly comfortable and very close shave.
