Where did you get the 1.05 custom plate?

Made it.

Never had a comfortable shave from the stock plates. So a while ago, made a series of different plates to find what worked for me.

The bar on this one sticks out 0.2mm more than stock to reduce blade feel

I really am enjoying the Simpson "best Badger" brushes i have, the Duke 3 among them, a major part of my prep is face lathering after a double face wash, building up the lather this way i feel, really helps with the stubble prep plus you get the scent hit of the soap as it open straight away.
The AS-D1 is a great razor to use, i find a tiny bit more efficient than the D2 i have although it is minimal. Once you have these razors dialed in they will give you a very, very safe, very efficient BBS finish.
I do like the shave with a KAI DE blade as it does open the shave angle a touch being a smidgen wider than most if not all other blades, however, they will work with any blade really and today it was ultra smooth with the Med Prep.
Enjoy your day all.

Tried the double face wash pre-shave routine, great tip, thank you!

Later edit, The PAA Fresco scent is just awesome.
Also the EDP has monstrous longevity. 12 hours plus & still going strong.
Enjoyed smelling like the 80's all day long, there ain't nothing out there like this.​
