    I don’t post a lot here. But tonight I felt compelled to. @jmudrick and I get together occasionally for coffee and shoot the shit about razors mainly. Well we also swap razors to try. Jeff lent me his PAA Prismatic paired with a cool stainless handle. I for the life of me cannot remember. Anyhow here is tonight’s STELLAR SHAVE.

    Razor: PAA Prismatic
    Blade: Gillette Platinum
    Brush: 30 mm Tuxedo in a brush by Tom
    Soap: Tabac
    AS : Tabac

    This razor supposed The heck out of me. It was really smooth a bit milder than I usually prefer. It gave a first time use near BBS. I will shim per @jmudrick instructions for my next go. I have a feeling it will be stellar.

    By the by, I was so impressed I actually just ordered my own.

    Gets even better I think matched with a New baseplate. Because the Prismatic head is slotted the range of plates the cap mates with is limited but every one I've tried has been made me smile.

    New plate you mean. Magic is in the Prismatic cap.

    Yes a shorter loft would be better. So far have tried this knot with five different soaps, including MWF which some find hard to lather but so far I haven't had an issue lathering up any of the soaps. They should offer a shorter loft or drill down or create a deeper top portion.

    Good shave! There was a weeper in the upper lip area.
    May be I was not ready for a top open comb and base plate
    close comb with a slant! Too many variables to consider!
