    I’m with you, Primo. PAA is a soap I really want to like, but just it doesn’t clear the bar for me.

    Praise away on the Karve, Clint. Another Canuck member and I have already agreed to buy one when our NB is over. It definitely has slowed down the train. I look forward to your review of the more aggressive plates.

    Great write-up, Randy! The Karve is certainly a beautiful razor. They've been making many appearances in here, so many others must feel that way too.
    I hope everyone starts feeling better at home.

    Excellent photos and shave reports this morning Gentlemen!

    I had no time to take a photo myself, but here's my SOTD

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    RazoRock Mamba
    GSB (4)
    Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
    Maseto Classic Finest Fan (30mm, Cruiser Class)
    Baxter of California Shave Tonic and ASB

    I decided to put my criticisms of the Game Changer to the test this morning by comparing it against the Mamba. Immediately I could tell a difference, the Mamba was smoother, the angle was more intuitive and it just felt better against the skin. Sure the Game Changer has more blade feel then the Mamba but the Mamba is just as efficient and after three passes I had no need for touch-up. I finished off with the Baxter duo for my daily dose of menthol. Have a great weekend and Father's day everyone!

    TGIF!!

    Great report, Bruce! Terrific photo as well. I got really smooth shaves from the Supply, but I don't think I had a shave from with without some weepers or redness. Again, smooth results but not without a little carnage. The sensitive plate worked the best for me. I didn't even try the aggressive plate!

    Anyway, look forward to more reports!

    TGIF!! Happy Father's Day to you, Andrew, and to all the dads on the 30DC. I'm really digging Logan's seersucker and crab swim shorts. I would wear those in a heartbeat!

    Awesome picture of Logan, Andrew! And thanks again for the comparison on the Mamba and GC, you just helped me cross a razor off my list!
