Razor: Karve Shaving Chris Bradley Razor (C plate, 3.5” handle)

Blade: Feather (1st use)

Brush: Bobby Moffett “Caramel Latte”

Soap: Tabac 

Aftershave: Tabac 

A couple months ago I had three bad shaves in row from a Feather, so I decided to take a hiatus from them for awhile. I was glad when I returned to them today without any issues because my experience generally has been good with these blades. With the aid of Tabac’s slickness and cushion I aimed for the closest shave possible and was not disappointed.
