Today I tweaked the adjustment up another half-step (from 4.5 to 5). The shave was just as smooth as ever.
I can now safely say that this is my Grail Razor! I've only had one previous grail razor, my Blackland SS Blackbird OC. The Blackbird is a great razor... but it simply can't compete with the OliBlade.
Again, I'm looking forward to my next OliBlade Trial Shave already... and I'll probably increase the adjustment another half-step for that one too.

Hello friends
A cold Saturday night, but a very pleasant one. Due to the IBRA 2024, I decided to go back to the Greencult 2.0, but with the plate II, the razor I use the most. I think its configuration is perfect for my way of shaving, every other day. Its 0.65 mm gap and 0.10 mm exp go very well with this. However, instead of my beloved and idolized Gillette Silver Blue, for the first time I used a BIC CP, a blade I have wanted to try for a long time. I was very impressed. Sharp, as I expected, but surprisingly smooth. It left a great after-shave sensation. With the splendid SV Desert Vetiver, I used my Pegasus Boar for the second time, probably the brush that will take the longest to become familiar with me. To finish, Malizia Uomo and a masterpiece, Chanel Sycomore.

Greetings,
Relaxing Sunday Morning Shave.
The Eco Warrior shaving bar performed wonderfully this morning producing a slick protective lather in a short space of time.
The soap has a mild scent good texture & slickness it's protective leaving an impressive post shave feel. I've yet to try any of the new recipes of the Eco Warrior shaving bars, but by the negative comments and reviews I've read I'll give them a miss.
Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.
Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
