But yes, it's definitely another ruddy silver plate @TobyC coz I look like the Mrs has slapped me across the face!

... if JJ is still doing his thing, it'll be getting a dip, strip and re-plate in lovely nickel.

Prep: ESC pre shave oil mixed with Proraso sensitive pre shave cream
Brush: Boti 22mm tuxedo synthetic
Razor: Karve Overlander
Blade: Perma-Sharp Super (1)
Cream: Signature Soaps Valentia
PS 1: Ariana & Evans Cuban Highball

The first shave with my new Karve Overlander, once it was recovered from my neighbour's house, and just in the nick of time to take away with me for Christmas. An absolute beauty on the first outing, I'm looking forward to using it over the next 10 days.

On a side note, I found my new Boti synthetic very stiff, but I glued the knot in myself so I'm worried I may have used too much glue or something? Will have another go after Christmas and see if it softens up.
 
Happy Anniversary Lee!
