Titanic and 3017...?

Happy Friday Eve! I am up and moving way too early for me. At least I managed to get in a good shave to start the day.​

 

Surface area is the KEY to an effective and efficient 3017.

 

I did move the soap to a larger diameter bowl. The lather this morning was just phenomenal.

I commented on this "Fast N Loose"methodology and someone wondered what I was talkinabout. I had to do a "Fast n Loose Take 2". I'm not familiar with Goldilocks.

 

Yup. All jokes aside (strange coming from me, I know…), novice shavers often make the mistake of not taking ‘didn’t load enough product’ out of the lather making equation.

 

Day 14

Same gear as a few days ago; I took the easy way out and recycled the pic.

 

I gave this some thought…if I was only allowed to keep 5 razors (completely unnecessary, I realize), the Karve with a D plate is on that list. The only modern DE actually.
Along with a SS Supply with the 2 dot plate, a Gillette NEW LC, a Cooper MonoBilt and a Barbasol Floating Head. The FH isn’t a daily driver for me like the other 4, though.

 

Professor Charlie to the rescue.

 

They read the posts: "Ten swirls was plenty of soap". When I see these comments, I chuckle.

 

I would be hard-pressed to pick only 5 razors.

 

I’ll never need to…was just trying to show how highly I value the Karve and the iconic razors I put it in the same class as.

 

I’m rotating through my razors and setting aside the ones I just don’t enjoy using.

Good idea.

Day Sixteen

MWF~~Semogue "Mistura"~~Feather AS-D2/Feather (4)~~Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua
The Fat is fully hydrated and quite easy to load.
The Semogue is a SE from 2012 and the knot is a 50/50 Badger/Boar mix.
I have always been a huge fan of these knots, as this is the third one I have owned.
This one is a keeper.
Who knows how many shaves remain on this puck???
​

 

Oh, yes I am.

 

To or not to THAT! is the question

 

What's up @ischiapp
Have you abandoned your 3017??

 

What are you chucking next..the Arkadia?

 

Day 15

No end in sight for this 3x milled soap. Switched from the Karve to a New Improved. Also a nice shaver…an art deco beauty as well.
