    TUESDAY'S SHAVE​

    [​IMG]

    Perfumed by:
    Douglas Smythe
    [​IMG]

    Razor - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Starling V2"
    Blade - Personna GEM Stainless Steel Coated *Fresh Blade
    Brush - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Green Ray" *Faux Horse Hair
    Shaving Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Keepsake Fruitcake 2020
    Deodorant - Herban Cowboy "Unscented"
    Aftershave/Fragrance - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Keepsake Fruitcake 2020

    The Starling V2 was meant for Christmas, but it arrived late. Who says Christmas is over? I call on my Shave Den Time Machine.....I smell Fruitcake. :D

    This will be the first shave with the Starling. It's super-light. Barely heavier than a feather. I bet this will provide very detailed control.

    ***EDIT - 2 passes, very minor clean up. BBS. Although, when going against the grain on my left cheek during pass-2, I noticed tugging. The blade might've been losing some cutting ability quickly. I had a somewhat similar problem with my other GEM razor (GEM 1912 travel), but after learning the correct angle and pressure, the blade stopped getting dulled during the shave. I suppose when any significant blade exposure is at play with a GEM single-edge, it's likely that if your blade angle choices are wrong, you'll mess up the edge and force a blade change long before it should need one.

    Razor: Karve CB plate D
    Brush Semouge 621 Boar
    Soap: razorock Saturnia
    Blade: personna Lab Blues 3rd use.
    Aftershave: Fine Platinum


    Maybe the best shave ever. Did the Karve unseat the Blackland blackbird brass from its top spot...to be determined.
