    40 laps on the Slavin keened up the edge nicely.
    Very good results on the lower neck---no
    bloodshed.
    Fragrance is probably my most favorite lavender I have owned.

  7. Bowl lathering the Fat is the way to go, Clint! It takes a bit of time, but the that rich creamy protective lather is well worth it.

    I decided to bring out my Red Tip because it is been awhile since I used it. Per @JACarbone Joe's suggestion, I did a rare 3 pass shave. I did get a BBS shave, but that is with a lot of buffing. Still, I am pleased with the shave because there weren't any cuts, etc. Finished with my normal post shave routine. Have a great day guys!
  10. Fabulous shave, photo and recap as usual, Jim. My favorite Karve plate is the F_OC which is equivalent to the G_SB. I had a marvelous dome shave with my Karve this morning. I just really like the feel of those teeth during the shave. Lots of teeth and blade feel with no bite.

  11. Nice Prismatic shave, Joe! I have one still in the box that my grandson bought for me as a get well gift after my most recent health blip. I just don’t need another safety razor no matter how well it shaves.
  12. Great photo and recap of your usual superb fragrant shave. I’m a confirmed paddle strop fan as well, Maestro!
