    Razor: Carbon Cx (+) Plate
    Blade: Wizamet (2)
    Brush: Rubberset 400/26mm Oumo Badger Fan
    Soap: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary
    Fragrance: Penhaligon's Endymion Cologne

    As I expected I had far more growth than normally this morning. This tells me what I suspected with the .71 Minus (-) Plate marketed as Mild, I got what felt like a close shave but not as close as I can and prefer. The N075 is better in this area for me. Today was with the .88 Plus (+) Plate and what a difference a day makes !! @clint64 you NEED this razor......................just kidding [​IMG] Today the lack of the blade being held closer to the cutting edge was still heard and felt (I expect this on all 4 plates but we"ll see) in the shave but you could tell we were getting the job done. I will say it was a smooth and comfortable shave that got me to the glass smooth skin I long for every shave and I can tell this shave will last me the entire day. While smooth I don't think this is an autopilot razor for me like the Yates is. While smooth and comfortable I could tell that if not giving attention and thought (Hey my mind wonders at times while shaving) to the shave it could bite and hard. That said, it never did and it was a gloriously good shave for the books. I'll probably move on to the 1.08 (++) Plate tomorrow but may come back to visit this plate before being done as long as I don't get distracted---------------------LOOK Squirrel !!!!!!!!!!! LOVE this scent from SV and hope they do a EDP soon but till then one of my favorite's Endymion is a nice player with it. Have a Stupid Fun day everyone !!!

    Thanks, Dave!
    Trying to get out the door most mornings so my reports are pretty short.

    I felt the razor was just ok when I first received it. Great shaves but not as smooth on the face as I like. When I read about the reduced exposure of the then new plates I decided to give the ++ plate a try. So glad I did. Shallow angle along with the reduced exposure made this razor so smooth and easy. Now one of my favorites.
    Thank you, Joe!

    I don't know how much of a difference there is but it's enough that it made a difference to me.
    Have a safe day at work.

    Great shaves, Keith! That straight looks immaculate, as does all your gear! I found the same was true of the Global Shave Club R41 clone. It also had the larger 2013 cap! Enjoy your shaves, and stay safe and healthy! :)

    I like shadows in pictures. I'll have to figure out how to introduce them. The light box is so reflective inside even with only the left side lights on I don't get much for shadows.
