Rather than miss a Shave and risk my skin drying out more, I followed up on yesterdays Shave.Seemed to be a good idea as the Shave was quite comfortable and though not a sterling finish my skin feels refreshed.

Comparison Shave #2
Pre - Sainsbury's Luxury Soap, Bergamot & Nectarine
Brush - Mühle Lge Classic Silvertip Synth
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Razor - Karve Stainless C - SB, Lambda Athena
Blade - Personna Med Prep x 2
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Floïd Balm
A/S - Floïd SE Mentolado Vigaroso

So today the Athena was given a run out against the Karve Stainless - a particular favourite of mine. Both Razors sporting Personna Med prep blades.
A easy face lather today from the "Fat" and Mühle Synth - all going well so far.
Today the Athena on the right and Karve on the left.
The WTG pass was very straight forward for both razors, i think understand what Chris @Satanfriendly was relaying in "Chat" today i was noticing light audio feedback throughout the shave. The blade is held very securely though making it a very smooth shaver. After the 1st pass i have to call it a draw, both sides feeling very similar and very comfortable.
I went to lather up again, my mind not on point, the brush slipped out of my hand and bounced off the sink, Bugger! its only knocked a big chip from the base rim of the handle , sink and floor tiles OK (that's 2 brushes i have chips in now, i will get the Dremel out and try to sort them). I will have to put it out of my mind for now.
Onto the shave:- 2nd pass ATG, again they matched each other stroke for stroke, on the face check, again they feel very similar, its going to be a close call.
Again i did an XTG pass with both razors finishing with a very comfortable BBS finish.
A nice post shave routine and no indication from the splash.
I think i have to call it a draw, although, maybe as i am still very smitten with the Athena i enjoyed using it a little more.
Both very nice razors.
Butterfingers didn't help today, a great brush as well
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

A most informative post, Tony.
Had my eye on the Athena, however, in Karve setup, I need at least a D plate and preferably the E, so most helpful.

Beautiful pic as always, but are you enjoying the Polo more than you did with the first use?

Thank you.
I’m enjoying it a bit more but far from becoming a favorite, the knot is too “tight”, because of the glue bump, I think.

I know what you mean - are you able to exactly measure the height of the glue bump? I think I got lucky with a relatively low glue bump in mine.

Not exactly, just with a ruler or something like that, I can do it arriving home. But it’s almost to the dark band of the fibres.

Mine is 2-3mm lower, not great but enough to make a difference
