It is indeed and I am loving mine! I’ll try out the A OC plate this week.

Somebody has to do it
Ahhhhh, Mrs. S....just sayin.
I have the B,C,D SB plates and the A,B OC plates. So far the C,D SB are great and the B OC...perfect (for me)...
Well a little late for the mid-week shave and a little early for the weekend shave...but I will take it anyway! Colonial General SE in hand is a beautiful thing and I am really enjoying this razor.
A&E Cafe au Lait not only smells great but the soap base is right up there with some of the best I have tried. Beautiful lather and glide. Need to explore them more because I have only this one.
Beautiful three pass BBS shave achieved. The matching AS is just full of skin food and really is as good as the soap. If you love chocolate and coffee this is the one to get.
Happy shaves all and stay safe.

She still takes my breath away after all these years...and so does Mrs. S!

Ah the Sunday shave, so much going on in the world, such stress...so yes, a small respite from all of it. Reached for the Karve CB with the A OC plate. Now, I haven’t been a fan of Feather Hi Stainless in the past but with a mild setup I favour super sharp blades. My go to blades are the Kai Super Stainless, Gillette Nacet or Polsilver IR in a mild razor. However, I got gifted a tuck of Feather DEs so why not give them a go today.
Soap of the day CBL Black Rose Oud. I have been waiting to give this one a go. The performance of CBL soaps (all of them) is exceptionally good. Premium base, Tonsorial...just give them a go you won’t be disappointed. A lovely mild rose scent. Great lather and slickness always awaits with Chris’s soaps. Excellent!
A wonderful three pass BBS shave. Topped it off with Thayer’s Witch Hazel Rose Petal and Guerlain Habit Rouge. Now it’s been a rough and uncertain week for a lot of people. Call those you love and keep them and yours in your prayers. Stay safe and be careful.

Excellent choice. Have you tried CBL Carnation?
I have a tub of it in the den filled to the rim by Chris! Still have to give it a go!
I think you'll like it.
Looking forward to it really and planning on a run of CBL soaps for the next little while.I think you'll like it.
