    Same shave set up today with the MMOC, day 4 on the PTFE blade, fine, so instead of a SOTD here's lunch instead. A Thai place a few blocks walk from my house in Phnom Penh. 7000 Cambodian Riel, about $1.75.

    I didn't bring any pre or after shave balm, but I saw both the Nivea for Sensitive and a Cambodian tub of aloe gel in the shops. It's ridiculously humid though so maybe moisturizer is not really that necessary.

    Another great setup and picture. The brush continues to steal the show.

    This week is just flying by so quickly. Another great shave to get the day started. The DK7 made short work of whipping up a rich slick lather. Two passes, ATG followed by XTG, and touch ups ended in a near perfect shave. A splash of Fine Lavender and I am ready for morning commute.

    Thank you Jim.

    Thank you Andrew. I really like the Karve. I ordered a E & F plate so I expect the Karve will see lots of use over the next couple of months.
