A REAL MAN'S SHAVE - going old school and loving it!

What about a Palmolive stick?

 

@Marc Bagwell remember this any can goo shaving cream will make me because is not a real man wet shaving old school style

 

Steve,
Do you know anything about Parker razors?

 

Not tried Palmolive but am curious.

 

Yep, that's what I was telling my friend. If I use can goo and I get razor burn. Not sure about the butt burn, but definitely I get razor burn. Love the animation!

 

My first impression of the name was a turn off.'ARKO?' It sounds like a middle america out on the plains, small town time forgot gasoline service station with attendants wearing WW2 officer caps and the logo something Don Draper would smirk at. I agree on the pink bathroom smell too. If you want 'Old school' MWF or PdP for starters.

 

I haven't tried either of those. The other end of the tallow soap price spectrum? Just recently got some Tabac and I'm liking the quality of the lather. It's not a quantum leap, but to me Arko sure beat out Marvy.

 

Good for your. Fatboy February and Arko. I am an Arko lover too.

 

As cheap as arko, works the same, smells much better

 

I have a Parker 80R. It's a TTO long handle HD. I like it. Has a small spot where the plating is starting to flake off, but it doesn't affect the shave.

 

Or we could all just use lard.
And hey, dont forget the attendant with the cap giving you that wink with a thumbs up. Aahhh, the good ole days. That and fuzzy dice hanging from the car mirrors. Sounds awesome to me. Back in the day, when everyone shaved with a Gillette or a Schick. Another mans hell is another mans paradise. Lol

 

Love the photo

 

PdP is a quad milled veggie soap that is quite good actually. It's not especially expensive to start with, and when you figure in how many millions of shave a guy could get out of it, it might be an all time cost per shave leader.

I have had a puck of it (the 63) for quite some time, and while I don't use it super often, I've barely worn the stamped emblem off the top.

 

Never tried Williams. Do you like it? I've heard mixed reviews on its effectiveness

 

What is PdP?

 

I haven't purchased modern Williams. I do like the vintage version.

 

Pre de Provence

 

Also @DaltonGang has this tutorial for adding scents to Arko. Time To Grate Some Arko.

 

Very nice photo. How do you like the Satin Tip brush?

 

It is a great brush, very soft but has a little more backbone then the plisson type synthetics.
