    Amazing!!! I used my new TGN synthetic brush and got the most lather I think I ever have out of the Arko. I "forgot", aka got lazy, and didn't shave for three days. The fresh Vaskhod blade made fast work in one pass. Finished up with Avon Black Sued post shave conditioner.... Buttery smooth!

    This combination is really nice. I like how moisturizing both the soap and aftershave are for a cold winter day. I like menthol all year, too. Excellent shave overall.

    Razor: Gillette "Fat Boy" set at 6
    Blade: Gillette 7 O` Clock (1)
    Brush: VDH Badger

    Probably the smoothest shave I can remember. Two passes, WTG/ATG with a light clean up. My chin was the only thing that would not co-operate, (had to go over it several times to clean it off). But I`m going to brag a little bit with a Dolphin smooth shave. They don`t come around very often for me, so please allow me a small boast. I enjoyed every second of this mornings shave. I would use my "Fat Boy" all the time, but that would spoil me, wouldn`t it.
    I do like to rotate, if for no other reason, " variety is the spice of life". A Happy Camper here wishing enjoyable shaves for all. Merry Christmas and God`s Speed.

    After menthol my next favorite setup is bay rum and Brian Krampert created a soap and aftershave which are both to die for. His bay rum scent is the NICEST and most authentic I ever experienced. It's like an old 1960's barbershop. His soap lathers so easily and feels so comfortable while you're shaving. His aftershave is so moisturizing and soothing that no balm is needed. Two easy passes were enough to clean me up absolutely BBS! :happy088: :happy088:

    That is true. So for face lathering with no bowl this brush is not for u. But if u bowl lather this is great as you can dip it for each pass. I used paa soap wich is dummy proof lather but it wa nutz--->
