Shave of the Day Thread - 2018

Brush: TF Custom with 30mm Whipped Dog boar
Soap: Penhaligons
Razor: Karve CB (D) plate
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Post: Baxter of California Balm

With all the hype on the Karve I decided to put mine to the test. A wonderfull close shave, very confidence inspiring. I was going to use the Karve earlier in the year for the February one razor, one blade challenge but decided not to at the last minute. Wrong again, it would have been a great choice.

Very keen to see a review on this razor from you mate

Final shave with the Voskhod blade today as it begun to show some blunt traits. Lather was great and the Floid aftershave a nice punch in the face.
Tomorrow I think I’ll try the Kai blade which I’m yet to experience.

Hadn't shaved for a few days so put a new Feather in and bumped it up to just below 5. Smooth and efficient with not a single nick or cut to be seen. Really impressive and borrowing it has made the decision to buy one or not very easy. Couple more shaves and I'll send it back home to @Korbz ​

Beard and blade said they’ll have more in a few weeks. I’m considering one too!

The Model T will be better - not going to wait and get one of those

Trying out yesterday's $15 opshop Slim post renovation before I pass it on. It needed a bit of love including end cap alignment. Allgood! It's shave ready and heading to Sydney. Here's some pics from last night (first two are immediately after purchase)
