SOS: April 2019

Good looking gear @madmedic.

 

Thanks Doug....it does what is asked of it!!

 

Thank you Douglas. They're the handiwork of a clever chap on ATG.
They are but I used to find the first shave a bit rough, not today.

 

DE shave today, for a change-up from my typical SR shave. Favorite combo: 2011 Mühle R41 with a new Feather blade. I find the stock Mühle handles somewhat slick/slippery and so prefer this heavy custom handle (made by a fellow TSD member years ago).
Crowne & Crane 'Citrus Melange' soap, jumbo silvertip brush from ShaveWorks, and my go-to aftershave: Fine 'Snake Bite.' Have a blessed day, gents!

 

Here it is for Friday:

Brush-Stoylin Synthetic Pro-Handle

otherwise, same as today(Stoylin Sandpiper soap&A.S.)

 

Nice photos, nice shaves

 

Thank you.

 

Nice setup Doug. That is really a nice brush

Yes it's a new brush. It's possible it was tweeted by Paladin. It looks like they've made four like this, but only one with this NL5 knot. The knot is spectacular- feels as good as it looks.

Thanks.

Quick diversion, how do you like the D3 syn compared to the CH2 syn?

 

I really like the CH2 synthetic. The D3 synthetic is smaller and easier to splay. As such it doesn't have the backbone of the CH2 synthetic. Hope this helps.

 

Clint, do you notice a difference between the Karve D Plate Open Comb and D standard plate?

 

I notice more blade feel but I can't say that I notice a difference in the closeness of the shave. If I had to pick one now, it would be the D standard plate.

 

Newly Acquired, Restored, and Honed. Fantastic 2 pass shave, that left me Baby Dolphin Butt Smooth. Great shaving, unheard of, razor. I haven't seen one of these before, but it was worth the $15.

Soap- TOBS Cedarwood
