Stirling Sharp Dressed Man After Shave Splash
The long anticipated first shave with the Karve open comb plate was completed this morning.  It was a very nice shave and I think the D plate is my sweet spot. I am still sitting on the fence about the open comb. I love the looks and I don’t think there is a better-looking combination on the market but looks do not a shave make. I need to run the open comb some more and get a better feel for it but it does not seem as smooth as the solid bar plates. For some reason I thought it would be a little smoother. There is a very slight difference and will require more shaves to make an “official” call on that one.  Overall it was a great shave and the open comb is definitely a keeper. No weepers or nicks.
I finished up with some Nivea and Sharp Dressed Man. I am smelling pretty but not looking pretty. I cannot help that, it is what it is.
I am starting to look forward to Mayhem. This will be my first participation with MAYhem and I hope I can live up to or through the expectations.
Also, I did learn one important thing from April’s 30DC, I hate the smell of ARKO. That stuff if still double bags and locked away.
Take care and have a great day.
