    Be careful. If you bloom Arko, you might only get 90 shaves out of a stick. :happy097:

    Fatboy and Tabac, Slick!
    Awesome photo Clint, I can't help but notice that the majority of your shaves these days are with the Oneblade.
    Great photo, Jim!
    I would love to take credit, but I think it was Perry @PLAla that said this.
    Great photo, Perry! Now I'm going to have to get some menthol crystals.
    Awesome shot, Mark!
    Awesome photo Charlie! I'm not getting tired of seeing the Webber and The Soap Destroyer one bit, a great combo!
    Sounds like a nice shave, Brian. but would really love to see the gear.
    Nice setup, Jared. Love hearing the comentary on the different products you use!
    Awesome photo, Jason!
    Beautiful Red Dot and JR brush!

    Super looking shave. Can you post a link to where you bought that bowl?

    I bought a sample of the Cologne Russe. Your description is right on the money: Very B&M’y. I enjoyed the four or five shaves I had with it, but for me anyway, it falls into that Not a Full Tub’s Worth category. A lot of B&M stuff is like that for me.

    Thank you Jason.

    Thank you Andrew. I am truly smitten by the OneBlade. I had planned to use some of my other razors this month but I really just don't want to put the OneBlade aside. I almost bought another one as a backup during their Black Friday Sale. Even though it will tough, I will try to mix in some of the other razors in the New Year.

    In the interest of shenanigans:

    Bloom or not... I will continue to dredge up the topic at inappropriate times.

    Thanks, Andrew! I think I'm going to really like using these and customizing some of my splashes. The pouch I got was $6.99 on Amazon.

    I cheated a little. I ordered and bought the soaps. Then I wrapped them and put the box in with the holiday gifts. Since my birthday is on Christmas Eve, I am sure to get Mike's Soaps for the holidays. :D

    Paul, you could bloom this stuff and swab out the commode with the Pine scented bloom water. Just don't do it around @NCoxSTL.

    Wow. Congrats on the new brush. I am not sure I have a soap container large enough for that beast. ;)

    Thank you Clint. It’s actually been fun focusing on a couple of razors. I’m getting great shaves.
