•Aluminum Overlander x Gillette Ninja

A+ shave
The Gillette performed in a way that made me feel good about paying $31 for 100 of them, ha! Ultra sharp, ultra smooth. Remarkable performance.

Lately my best shaves have happened when using Lider and I’m starting to think the Lider is playing a more significant role than I initially thought…

Received an email saying the orange anodizing is the last step before an aluminum Overlander is sent to my household.

I got lazy and didn’t shave at all on the weekend. The Overlander had no issues with the three days of growth though.

Received an email saying the orange anodizing is the last step before an aluminum Overlander is sent to my household.

Woah woah woah, stop the press-

You mean a completely orange Overlander? Or do you mean an orange plate?

As much as I dislIke the mismatched colors, I’m tempted to get a black n orange Overlander as that’s my favorite color combination.
I even have a black dog with an orange collar laying in my lap as I speak




But a completely orange Overlander… I didn‘t even know that was possible!

 

[thombrogan]

Orange plate and orange end on a Knopf Pommel handle. Mostly black

A fantastic shave with the Overlander this morning. A blessed day to all.

Razor: Overlander aluminum
Blade: Personna Lab Blue
Brush: Stirling Tuxedo
Croap: Omega Via Barberia 2 Herbae "Shaving Cream"
Aftershave: Humphrey's Witch Hazel + Rooster's Nest Bourbon Bay Rum

Nothing beats the Overlander so far. The blade and soap are good though they won't be displacing my top tier. Rooster's Nest is delicious and warm; I'll keep it around for the rare occasion when I need reminding of what scents are all about.

Another superb morning with the Overlander. A blessed day to each of you.

•Overlander with a Nacet
•Geo F Trumpers Lime shave cream (from a sample)
•AP Shave G5C brush

I had a negative opinion of the Nacet, due to finding it kind of rough and grabby in my first razor.

I’ve now used it in both the Overlander & Bison and it’s been excellent.
I think it preforms a little better in the Bison, but different soaps could be a factor in that. Regardless, great blade and I can see why it’s a favorite of many members here.

Quick question for you... I've seen a few rare posts of that brush and I can't figure out from the pictures... Is it semi transparent, translucent or a solid body? In your pic it looks solid... In one other, it seems transparent.

Regardless, it's a beautiful brush. Still, I'm curious what it really is. Thanks!

It’s solid. When I use a flash it tends to reflect in some spots which almost makes it look translucent I think

Awesome, appreciate the info! That's the answer I was hoping for, lol.

I've been eyeing Jason's selection of AP brushes and I might just have to jump in and get one now.

Soap: Razorock XXX
Brush: AP Shave Co. G5A

11/10 BBS

Enjoy your day!

Order restored! The Kai blade and a lighter touch generated a stellar three pass head shave. Not many of my razors can do ATG on my neck without irritation so I usually skip it, but the Overlander sure can. I've started to skip wiping it off after cleaning it, and it's quickly developing a nice patina!

Karve Overlander Al w/ProjectX Handle | Personna Comfort Coated (8th Use) | Semogue SOC Premium Latherhog | Stirling Orange Chill | Floid The Genuine | Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB

Another fantastic shave with the Overlander. The aftershave gave me a little burn on my pinky finger, ... where I had a paper cut. No reaction on my face though.

 

[NotBloomingAL]

Karve Overlander Al w/Project X Handle | Personna Comfort Coated (9th Use) | Stirling's High Mountain White Badger | McD Vetyver | Mennen Skin Bracer | Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB

I want to use my Bison but I don't want to break a great trend. The Personna blade is on a roll. Another fantastic Overlander shave. Although, a slight burn from the aftershave. Other than that ... no drama at all.
