That's gotta sting! Sorry about the visit from Mr Murphy, but in the end we shave with what we want to shave with!
"Uneventful and smooth shaves" is what it's all about. Enjoy those DE's; I certainly enjoy mine and work them in the rotation often.

Razor 1: CB Karve Plate "C"
Razor 2: N/A
Blade 1: Pol Silver SI (4)
Blade 2: N/A
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Synthetic
Soap: Dr. Jon's Arctic Hydra
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Proraso Green
Acquired a "C" plate recently for my Karve razor. While the "D" is fine, the "C" is a better fit for me for a daily driver. Nice automatic smooth shave. I'm really impressed with the Yaqi brush, especially considering the $11 price. Have a GREAT day Gents !!

Nice shave and pic. I will have to take a look at the Karve razors.
There is always room for one more brush.

Nice smooth shave. No free pens here. I didn't want to get into religous discussions, but guess I should at least clarify I'm at a religious convention in Knoxville, TN, which starts Friday and runs thru Sunday. I get here early to help build the video walls. Happy shaves everyone !!

Looks like the new Karve Plate is working well! Hope your convention does well.
I like the way you set up the shot in your first photo when you started. Which body of water or river is that in the background?
I really like my Karve. I currently possess all of the Karve guards up through D (with E & F on order). I have used them all but do tend to use B & C the most. Sometimes I will switch guards in the middle of a shave usually going from a higher aggressiveness guard e.g. a D to a lesser aggressive guard e.g. an B.
I do the same thing with my Rockwell 6S, another great razor.

VERY small body. Just a closed paylake down the hill and across the street. Paylakes seem to be a big thing in KY
