SoS; April 2018

Saturday's Shave Plan:

prep-Dial 4 Men Body Wash(Odor Armor)
shave-Stirling Soap(Barbershop)
brush-Crown King Spindle Duro Tali
razor-Gillette Sensor Dooce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S. Clubman Original Scent

with an apparent stream of warm temperatures coming in, I'm not taking chances-want to get in my final round of Stoylin/Clubman now. Did NOT want to put this off till the fall.

 

AV Musk is great

 

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Wee Scot
Soap: Proraso Green
Razor: Colonial Brass General
Blade: Pro Super
Post: Cold water rinse, Proraso Green AS

A lovely way to end the week, and it seems the still scritchy brush is losing some of its prickle or maybe my skin is building up a tolerance.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Arko Adjustable April!!

April 20

Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (6)
Blade - (2)
Pre-Shave - Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Soap - Arko
Brush - 30 DC LE
Post - Alum

Second day with the Slim and Perma-Sharp. 30 DC brush for a great Arko lather and the shave was as smooth and effective as yesterday. No blood, quiet alum, not much more to say. I did my head shave earlier with the usual Merkur 23c, Astra SP and Arko with cheap VDH boar brush. It was the same. Smooth, no issues, no blood. Almost makes me want to shave again just because they've been so good today.

One more day with the Slim then I'll have a bit of a decision to make for the end of the month. More on that in the next post. Hope you have a great start to your weekend and that the weather finally begins to acknowledge the date!

You are right, they don't come up much. Too bad I missed that one. Thanks.

Nice shave. How is the Pareidolia? I thought it sounded intriguing but haven't seen many use it. It seemed to go under the radar. I'm sure the performance is excellent. I really like the CK base. The Green Ray also sounds like it has a really nice knot with some back bone.
