Another close shave but slightly tenderized in the neck area, nothing bad but it is there slightly. A direct result of chasing BBS with efficient razors on a daily basis. Got some nice compliments on the scent this morning, awesome smell.

Nice refreshing shave. Enjoyed Snake bites massive menthol kick.

A return to the Karve with C plate to check how it fairs compared to the new razor.

Result:
Not as efficient nor smooth as the Wolfman WR2 but a good 3 pass shave nevertheless. It’s not normally my style to do three full passes but I threw in a full XTG as something different. Thinking now, it maybe helped the ATG pass be smoother than is normal.

One other thing is the Big Bruce didn’t seem to want to pick up soap like my tuxedo knots do this morning. The lather was good but wasn’t the luxurious stuff I’ve become accustomed to of late.
 
Razor: general ss
Brush: maggard synthetic
Soap: valobra
Splash: paa no9
Just a magnificent shave this morning with a bbs result.thought it might be the last use of the valobra soap but it looks like hanging on for at least 1 more shave.

Wonderful three pass shave this this gear. However, and this could just be my imagination, but the slim seemed more slippery than before I had it re-plated. I didn't drop it, it just felt slightly less secure.​

Interested to see how the plate D stacks up to the 1.05 SB in terms of efficiency and smoothness, keep those reports coming!!

I am tempted to score the Executive Man splash. How would you rate it.
