According to Karve, the OC plates lag the SB plates. Thus a C_OC is equivalent to. D_SB and so it goes, as Kurt Vonnegut would say!

 

Thanks, Patrick! You as well!

Along with me as well, as I remember!

 

That might be true but my personal experience does not correlate with their statement. To me, my D OC is step up from the D SB and more like the E SB. As I person that generally prefers OC razors, the Karve OC is not nearly as smooth as the SB variants.

 

I, not wanting to be drawn into any more discussion of scents, made the mistake of describing myself as a “Nasal Barbarian” and Charlie pounced!

 

Gorgeous lineup and photo Jim.

 

February Focus

Ancient Barbershop Paste~~Simpson Emperor 3~~1908 Gillette/Sharp Star~~Xyrena 66
Giving the Italian paste another go 'round and today I built the lather on the puck.
This "croap" is firm enough to allow such lathering.
The E3 did a great job creating the lather.

I get amused...

when "reviewers" describe this soap's scent as "almond".
I have a bottle of almond oil and for the life of me, cannot detect an aroma.
Moving on, with the razor. My 1908 Gillette SR, loaded with a fresh Sharp Star.
All passes, I was focussed on "wiping away" the lather.
Important: Even when it didn't feel like the razor was cutting hair!
Zero pressure.
The ABC is slick enough to afford multiple strokes over the same area.
Important: Don't do this if you aren't extremely secure with your technique!
Completed the shave and would "almost" pass the cotton ball test.
Witch Hazel clean-up x2, followed by an application of

Scent for today is Xyrena 66. Mos def© not for everyone.

BTW, label application courtesy of the fine folks from the Isle of Man.​

 

Thanks, Clint!

Great Wilkinson Sword week, Barry! Received my first Moderna vaccination this past Tuesday! SWMBO and I will be returning on 3/8 for our second and final jabs!

 

Great looking shave Joseph. I don't think I could handle Xyrena 66.

 

That's a riot, Danny! That was a great shave to start the day.

While @Dave in KY's CT application is being processed, who's gonna be next?

 

Great automotive scented shave, Joseph! Single Bar OT shaves are great, but my Gillette preference is the New Models. Enjoy your day!

 

Great Slim Adj. shave, Gary! Nice staging!

 

How are the sinuses doing, Patrick! Hope you’re feeling better! I only have one more pill to take this evening to finish my antibiotic treatment.

 

Great shave, Dave, hopefully soon to be “not a buttercup”! Enjoy your day and stay safe out there!

 

Great shave, Clint! Enjoy your day. SWMBO and I received our first Moderna vaccinations. We’ll be returning in a month for the final follow ups.

 

Thank you Jeff. Good deal on the vaccinations. My Mom got her first round and is due for the second in a couple more weeks.
