First shave with the Karve SB-G plate. Smooth and efficient. Mid-high blade feel. Comfortable overall. Close comfortable DFS result with no irritations.

How's that Lemon Lavender Mint? It'd be straight in the bin here by the sounds of it, but you never know with Stirling.

Epic brush handle

Thanks. It's my brush for the entire DEC. 26mm Hook SHD badger knot with an Oumo handle. Waited an entire year to use it, haha

Off the tub, it has an earthy lavender scent which I'm not fan of. Once lathered, the lemon and peppermint comes out, making it more balanced and pleasant. I like it but not a love for me

Excellent 2 pass shave with touch up on the jawline. First time using the SLOC and it was a very easy close shave with no feedback from the alum.

Peace

SOTD - DFS+
The Gillette Stainless is a sharp customer on the level of Nacets and Wizamets and it worked very well in the Slim Twist.

 

[Angus MacAngus]

Another very good shave this morning with my Eco. I like it, and compared to my Yaqi Katana it can hold it's own. I am biased towards the Yaqi as I've had it longer and used it more.

Todays shave:

Razor: Razorock Eco
Blade: Lord Rainbow SS (1/2 blade, 2nd & last use)
Cream: Proraso Single Blade Wood & Spice
Brush: Omega

Hi Jack, you can play along as I do but if you have paid for shaving stuff THIS month then you won’t make the official December list.

Still in, no shave for me today, but a face wash and application of B&M Melange balm this morning.

As a rule, I don't like "spicy' scents much, but this one is wowing me.

Thanks MiP, I will participate "out of competition" if that is allowed?

Yes, I do it myself as I failed miserably in my restraint...

So you joined from the start?

No, but I had a fixed shopping list for this month and that didn’t worked out at all…
