  4. My judge of a razor has changed over the years. Everything (virtually everything) delivers a perfect shave after 3 passes for me. Many do it quite smoothly.
    Some deliver near perfection after 2 passes. A select few do it without feeling like danger is imminent. The Karve is in that group for me.

  5. congratulations on finishing the Mike’s. I agree this thread is easier to keep up with so it’s where I participate.
  6. Indeed I do. I always thought the Leresche was a clone of my '08 Gillette SR.

  8. This is much more than a 3017...it's a full-blown Tabac obsession! :happy102:
  9. I won't argue that point! :)

    As much as I love Tabac, I've decided that February will be freestyle. I have several soaps that need my attention. Up first will be MdC Rose.

    Happy Wednesday. I thought I was feeling better yesterday but it turned out to be the same or worse. Long story short is I ended up in the ER with chest pains and shortness of breath. After countless tests I was finally able to go home in the early morning hours. I do have a followup with the cardiologist tomorrow morning. This is the second such episode in the last year. I do wish they could find out what's going on.

    At least I was able to get a great shave a few minutes ago which seemed to make the world better. Back to following the doctors orders and get some rest. Swati is working from home while making sure that I follow the rules. Take care and have a great day. ​
  11. Real men 3017 MdC...just sayin' :)

    Tomorrow will be the final shave with the Ethos.
    The Wolfy made quick work of the stubble and the Meehan Bay Rhum was the icing on the cake.
  18. Yes, a worrisome condition indeed. :shocked029:
