    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.

    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?
