    I'm probably the only guy on the thread that doesn't like the looks of the Karve, so Game Changer!

    You're not the only one, Andrew. The Karve sounds like a great razor but it never really caught my eye.

    Tuesday OCtober 2

    Hitting 2nd, a 101 year old, 1918 Gillette Bulldog.

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - Le Pere Lucien Savon du Barbier (A+in my book)
    Brush - M&F
    Blade - Feather HI SS (4)
    Razor - 1918 Gillette Bulldog
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Baum.BE A/S balm, Floid SE Mentolado Vigoroso A/S

    Shave rating 3.5 of 5

    First shave with this razor, was kind of show only before. I really like barber pole handles. This razor has a problem with alignment of the blade plus I noticed a very slight hairline crack in the handle. I will need to look for a replacement. I was in a bit of a rush so I didn’t want to play with the blade alignment - one side was mild, the other aggressive - so I did a careful one pass, DFS shave. This soap is great, lather and lubricity are superior.

    Looking through my stash to see what other century old Gillette razors I can pull out and use for the remainder of the week.

    Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.

    fantastic shave sir..if you can find a sealed pack of vintage gillette super stainless or super sword edge wilkinson blades they are remarkable blades..well worth the effort and cost..

    Thanks, Gary!
    I was on the hunt for a Monobilt. Turns out I didn't need to look far. Andrew @Linuxguile hooked me up. Actually he's the one that started the hunt by loaning me this razor.

    Only 140+ post behind this morning! Still in catch up post reading mode.
    Sorry if my responses are out of context. ;)
    I hear it works on adults, too. Possession of duct tape can be a crime in some jurisdictions. It's just a source of entertainment for the rest of us. Chocolate syrup optional.
    Was this one supposed to be in your online photos?

    If given the opportunity, I'd have covered SJP's mouth, too.

    OK, I’m ridiculously behind, but do have a trip update. After 3 days, I was unable to find a wizard in Indy. I did, however, find a Sugarfire BBQ joint and the shrimp cocktails at St Elmo’s, so all was not lost.
    Karve.

    Sounds like you are on the right track.
