Today was my second go with the CJB. Tragedy struck when I removed the head plate to clean it, the tension spring that holds the whole assembly together snapped. I got hold of the seller who offered to replace the broken razor, so it's a minor set back. I don't know how many CJB and Sam Seong razor owners purchased their gear from Purosdave on eBay, but he's a good guy who is quick to respond to emails and does his best to answer any questions and right any wrongs.
I used Shave Secret as a preshave and D.R. Harris Arlington soap whipped with my mixed loft boar/badger brush. The razor, obviously, was the CJB with a Feather Professional blade on shave #2. I finished up with some SAL Alum and Simpson's ASB. Two passes (wtg/atg) resulted in a BBS shave with zero nicks and minor irritation on my jaw line. I'm getting to know this razor pretty well and I'm really liking it. I'm sad that it will be gone for a while, but I'm happy that I'll be getting a nice new replacement. I've already ordered a Feather plastic protector case and some Feather Super Pro blades, so when the replacement comes in I will be all set to welcome it home.
