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???

Neither is @Primotenore, Paul.

I agree, Jason. This was my experience too.

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.

Happy Friday Everyone. After using the Karve for a few days, I can safely say that the razor is one that I really enjoying using. The PAA ShaveRite with its mixed knot loaded and lathered the MWF with ease. Using the daily really takes the soap up to another level. I have found using the same soap everyday allows for a better evaluation of the razors. Onto the Backland Sabre for next 5 or 6 shaves. I decided to start with the level 1 baseplate. A wonderful smooth and efficient shave. I really can't ask for better.

Yes, Paul. Got a ways to go too.

Many of you are better at this than I am. 4 straight days with the same soap is too much for me.

We all enjoy our hobby in different ways, Paul, and that's what counts. I focus on certain aspects of my routine and improve my technique where I can. I also enjoy consolidating shave den consumables (soaps, creams, aftershaves, colognes, blades, etc.) in my shave den. This all lends itself well to these 3017s.

Others, like yourself, enjoy changing things up frequently. It's all good.

Always love seeing this razor.

Good thinking.

Well said, Charlie.
