Naturally decided to make use of this month by switching soaps often. Passione on today’s agenda which was the first time using the soap. Not much change from the tub to the face. Lovely scent and of course great protection. In hindsight of this mornings weather, Skye Fall would have been the better choice.
And who would think the Karve B would bite??!!??


I’m missing a huge chunk of skin, from my thumb tip. Accidentally bumped the blade while reaching for the tap while moving the razor in to be rinsed. Yeowtch!!!

OUCH!!!!

It is a good reminder that we are dealing with sharp things. Maybe you would be safer with a Mach 3 or something? ;)
 
Brush: maggard synth
Soap: Apr saa
Splash: Apr saa
Razor/blade : wolfman/7 o'clock yellow
First morning with the travelling hardware box and what a cracker.this razor is one of the mildest shaving razors I've ever tried but also one of the most efficient I can see why they get so much love.found the angle on the first stroke and went on to a 3 pass bbs from there.
