Another simply excellent shave, smooth and efficient, what more could you ask for? The weight and balance is in the Goldilocks zone for me, not too light or too heavy, add to that a head design that aides finding the optimum angle for a shave and I love the plus plate, efficient yet never feels like it’ll bite. Add to that the handle… probably the best I’ve used. The thick, chunky knurling just seems to work. For me.
The Proraso was a joy as always, used with Proraso green and PAA Awesome Sauce made for a great Sunday shave.
Onto the open comb tomorrow to see how that goes but for me so far the + plate is the winning combination.
