    Karve 'D' SB w Polsilver

    Back to the Karve this morning. This D SB and I get along very, very well. The Polsilver feels invisible in it as well. Not the best Reserve lather as the tub winds down, but I got 3 decent passes worth without squeezing out the knot, which is my bare minimum baseline for sufficient (over?)loading. I am completely smooth, with an extra stroke or two on the jawline.
    This has to be the first time I consistently under estimate how much is left in a tub. Usually it keeps going like the Energizer Bunny, but I'm pretty certain that the next shave with this will be the last one.
    Have a great day all!

    Got in some good exercise this morning. Officially 9.6" inches at DIA, which we aren't very far from, fell through the night.

    No kidding. I have a full blown caffeine addiction. Withdrawal would give me headaches for sure.

    SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 2021

    Beautiful morning today, but the snow blanket remains! It’s slated to go to 45°F today, so hopefully, some of it will melt. We all have our favorite straight razors, and mine is the Manhattan Cutlery 13/16. The mug shave was superb. Those 19th century Sheffield cutlers certainly knew their trade. The shave was clean and close, and set the stage for the Colonial Silversmith DE. Those of us who own this safety razor recognize it for the gem it is. I never fail to get an excellent dome shave. I wish more people were aware of Colonial Razor and its superlative razor designer! Kyle Evans knows his business! His General AC and Silversmith DE designs reflect a deep understanding of what works well in a safety razor. His General AC design is on version 2, and is unbeatable when fitted with a Schick Proline or Feather Super. I believe it is the only AC safety razor design that outshaves the Vector. In any case I feel clean, refreshed and porcelain smooth!

    RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery Sheffield 13/16 (Mug), Colonial Silversmith (Dome)
    BLADE: Sharp Star DE
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: MrEE Monster Tuxedo Synth
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Old Spice Original (Indian Version)

    Love the British 1912 as well, Barry. I've seen that newer Euro Brut in the glass bottles a few times, and I'm wondering what you think of it? Do you have the Faberge version as well...if so, how close is it?

    A great post on Injectors, Dave. I agree, they are smooth, efficient shavers. I think you would have still tried DEs, though, as we all get a little bored sometimes. You have Injectors and DEs, but I bet you have tried GEM bladed razors or AC bladed razors, I suspect.

    A simple, beautiful pic, Clint. Snap judgment on knot only- CH2 Synth or Evo?

    Danny, I see that you put a plastic washer between the handle and baseplate, a la jluc. Do you find it makes a difference as well? Nice pic as well!
