SOTD 25-Feb

Brush: Chubby 2 Synthetic Bristle
Soap: A&E The Novelist
Razor: CB Karve Brass (D)
Blade: Feather HS (2)
Post: A&E The Novelist

Well seems as though I've found another synthetic that I really like, first the cadman tuxedo now this. Chuffed to bits, nice face feel, backbone to my tastes and whips up a good lather which releases well. I'd like to know which chubby this is modeled after (for loft and density) as it certainly isn't the manchurian I have. Whatever it is I'll buy the badger version if it exists as well!

The new Novelist is a pleasant scent, it seems to be in a similar vein to a number of others I have but with an added extra that I'll never put my finger on. Will say I had a tricky time starting out, been a while since I've used A&E but it is a lot more thirsty than I remember (not a bad thing), but got there in the end.

Good shave, very good finish, happy Friday everyone!

Cheers

Marc

Just learned you can't use this razor in a rush - won't do that again.
Really close finish but a bit of irritation and a few weepers to answer for.
Take care all.

Thank you all for your support, this means a lot. Funny how we always used to have these threads "What if I could only choose one (razor, soap, brush etc)". Never thought it would actually come to that.

A tyrant in the Kremlin and an aggressive military invasion quickly puts things into perspective. I hope things a resolved soon, keep well

Friday
As the world stage turns into a shit-show once more, I wanted something soothing and calming, so I've gone for Cella Aloe Vera.
I will, at some point get a proper bottle of splash rather than this tester. Schick E5 and blade again.

My thoughts and prayers are with those being subjected to unjust & unnecessary suffering in the Ukraine.

This is the last week with the Karve and I don't think it's going to find a place in my den. Not going to keep it. And the decision has nothing to do with the performance. It's to do with the build material. I have already decided aluminium is not for me and I think brass joins this category. Of course not for the same reasons as brass has a good weight to it compared to an aluminium counterpart. Brass is just too metallic for me. Somehow reminds of a penny coin taste.
Today's shave was no different than the rest - smooth and efficient. Pleasantly surprised by T&H shaving cream. A very easy to obtain dense lather hence with great cushioning qualities.

Wishing you all a great weekend ahead!
