Saturday morning I received both my Karve Overlander in brass and my Stirling order of 5 sample soaps and some balms (never used Stirling before and first round with the Overlander after having used Christopher Bradley razors for the past few months. Well, as the title says "Shaving Nirvana has been found!! That razor is the smoothest thing I have used to date (6S, CB B,C,and D plates, and Hensons and 1 bad run in with an Envoy). I was super impressed. The soap was another "WOW" moment. I used "Gin and Tonic" and was very impressed with the slickness of the soap. Overall a very pleasant surprise on all fronts.
