New Things Again

An aluminium open comb Karve Christopher Bradley with a box of Via Barberia 3 Herbae shave soap on the original packaging Karve box between a Zenith B21 brush and a bottle of Speick Men splash

  • Prep: Klar Activated charcoal facial soap
  • Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley aluminium, E plate
  • Blade: Big Ben Super Stainless
  • Lather: Via Barberia 3 Herbae
  • Aftershave: Speick Men Active After Shave Lotion
  • Fragrance: Creed Wind Flowers

In this episode of @[email protected] generosity, I'm using his Aluminium Karve Christopher Bradley with an open comb E plate, and a Semaj3000-provided Big Ben blade and this new-to-me Via Barberia 3 Herbae shaving soap.

The Karve left a good first impression: the distinct blade feel makes finding the right angle very intuitive.
