I agree. I love Karve. I didn't have too much interest in their stuff until the CuBr handle caught my eye. Since then, I've been hooked. I believe this will be my fourth one plus I have an extra handle and some other plates. According to the ad, it was done by Razor Emporium. I've been hesitant on one of these cause they're considered mild, but they're supposed to be very efficient. Honestly, it was the plating that drew me in as I'm partial to white metals. And I do like the heft of brass as well. It's supposed to arrive tonight but hasn't come yet, not sure if it's gonna make it. I was hoping it would cause I'm curious to see how it shaves. I'm just hoping it's not too mild for my liking.

Do not know if it is possible to have a soap that gives you more cushion and slickness than
GD Kairos SE, but if so this is it, and the scents are incredible.

metal_shavings How is the glide? Does it shave any milder with the plating?

Soap: GD “KAI” Aion Maxima 2023
Razor: WR2 Ti SB 1.25 w/ Timeless Ti Crown ? Handle
Absolutely incredible soap, if available I would buy backups to all 4 soaps that I ordered.
Shaved today just to use the soap again, and probably will shave in the morning to use a third soap.

What turned a Muramasa I didn't like into 7 Simpson brushes I need for Series completions?
A free market. More razors will meet this fate. It's clear what I use and what I don't, I'm not buying more razors, and I'm very fond of the look of Simpson brushes, so why not!
