    Razor: Karve Stainless Steel OC "C" Plate
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
    Brush: Karve "Canadian" Skate Maple w/ Badger
    Soap: Karve Semois Valley
    Aftershave: Maol Grooming Marlogue Wood
    Bowl: Pottery by Heather Light Blue

    Be awhile since my last shave. Everything worked well. This is my first shave with the Karve Stainless Steel and I didn't find much difference it and the Brass model. The Maol aftershave is very good as is the Pottery by Heather Light Blue bowl. Fine shave all the way around.

    Yeah. I love this bowl. It's got something about it that really stands out yet is humble at the same time.

    Monday NOvember 25

    No Repeat (mostly) NOvember. No repeats so far except for scuttle, blades, and alum. Up today, one of my special straight razors, a Snail Forge Ottoman razor - a modern take on the rare Wade & Butcher Ottoman Egyptian razor made in the early 1890's.

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - HeV Cognac and Cuban Cigars
    Brush - Paladin PK47
    Blade - n/a
    Razor - Snail Forge Ottoman
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, HeV Cognac and Cuban Cigars Balm

    Shave rating 4 of 5

    I really like this razor. I think I messed up with the soap. The lather was over bubbly and kind of dry and caused a less than optimal shave. I did 2 passes, WTG and XTG, with my Ottoman razor but the lather was dry and the shave was just not good. So I cleaned off the Ottoman and put it away and did a third and final pass XTG with my Red Tip. That pass wasn't great either but the stubble was gone although my face hurt. The alum was a little more vocal that I like. The Cognac and Cuban Cigars balm soothed my face some.

    Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.
