Thank you, Gary!

Monday NOvember 11

No Repeat (mostly) NOvember. Up today is a Henckels Rapide with a GEM blade and a wedge adapter.

Bowl/Scuttle - Simpsons mug
Soap - Williams
Brush - Rubberset 200-4
Blade - GEM SS SE (2) w/wedge adapter
Razor - Henckels Rapide
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Furbo Blu A/S

Shave rating 5 of 5

First time using this wedge adapter with a SE blade; seemed to work well. I did a two pass shave today, the first pass, WTG, was excellent. No irritation. The second pass, XTG, was excellent as well, finishing BBS. The Willliams shave soap did an ok job but I needed to re-apply it several times during my second pass as it was drying up on my face. The alum was a little vocal again on one side of my neck but that was it. Finished up with the Furbo Blu A/S.

Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.

new sc/karve.gsb,stirling..

Lovely gear! As you know, I am also a big Karve fan. You should post this in the KROC thread as well. What plate do you have on the razor?

thank you Jeff.its a 1930s gillette new short comb head.i bought the karve 3" handle for my gillette new deluxe razor originally,but tried it on the new sc head ,fits the small cut out on the baseplate.very happy about that..

Lovely! You should still post it in the KROC thread. Hybrids count!

thank you Jeff i'll test the waters,but it lacks the business end of the karve razor.the handle is just a handle....
