B&M Just right for a Tuesday

A little educational video from my perspective. I find this to be the easiest way to obtain an excellent shave and a tiny bit of stropping technique. Remember your first strop is going to get the worst of your battle scars! don't worry just go cheap and once your technique is down you will move to a good one! Just a warning for all whom are not beginners this video is 24 mins long and not edited at all. please be patient and enjoy!

Date: 16 October 2018

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush:- Zenith B27 Boar 28/55mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Declaration Grooming ~ TSM Fougère
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Razor/Blade:- Karve CB 'F' / Vintage NOS England Wilkinson Sword #2
Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil / Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic / TSW Aftershave Balm
Fragrance:- Hugo Boss (Original)

The Karve F base plate was too edgy for me to shave, however, it's a little bit smoother than normal and this feels a bit over the top of the Muhle R41, it's not ideal for someone who has a thin, hollow or skinny face to used the Karve F base plate because you will get a lot more irritation during the shave if you're not careful with your angle. The F base plate might be better for someone who has an average or round typeface (chubby) can shave the F base plate without any further issue, because is easier to maneuver and you might get less irritation for those who like more blade feel or edgy feel while is still a bit smoother to shave than the Muhle R41. Is not a very aggressive shave like a Muhle R41, but, it does feel a bit edgier than an R41, I hope this makes sense to you because I can't really explain the correct way.

Also furthermore the F base feels a lot edgier than the Rockwell R6, so I gave myself a second try today using the Karve F base plate and I must say it's too edgy for me and my face, I've decided to step back a bit and used the E base plate during my next shave because the D base plate is my sweet spot on the Karve razor.
