Christopher Bradley (Karve Shaving) Brass Razor (D plate)

Great easy two pass shave using the D plate which is equal to the Charcoal Goods level 2 and Timeless .95 head. Maybe better. Smooth as silk and the grip is fantastic.

Great to see you are enjoying the new razor, Jerry.

RazoRock Tuscan Oud today. 20 seconds to load the RR/Zenith Chubby Extra Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus in the Gillette Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with RazoRock Tuscan Oud aftershave.

The days are getting longer...thank goodness.
Four discontinued soaps that rival, and more often surpass most of today's offerings:
Old Spice, AOS Tallow, WSO and Vintage (tallow) Williams.
I nabbed an OS NOS refill puck the other day at a fair price. (Many sellers price-gouge these items)
These are the soaps in my den that I will truly miss when they are used up.
EVERY wet shaver should try these soaps at least once.
Have a great day!

I don't often turn to the version 2.0 Shake Sharp, prefering as I do to double load the version 1.0, but even without that ability the 2.0 is a great performer, fine two pass face and head shave with a mid 70s Platinum Plus.
