    Arko Adjustable April

    April 26

    Razor - Soviet Consul (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Jayaruh #230
    Post - Alum

    Final shave for this Sharp Star. It's still smooth but I'm a 3 and out kinda guy. Insures I never have a bad shave just because the blade went south. For the razor - one more look at the Soviet Consul. At 9 this would be about a 14 or 15 on a Gillette, if it had it. Still very smooth and very effective with two passes and touch ups bringing the baby home. The JR230 is small but quite effective. I have plans now to make it my travel brush. I have a bottle it will fit nicely into for that, and I'll always have a classy brush with me that way.

    Tomorrow is Saturday so no shave! When I shave again on Sunday I'll move on to one of the last three DE adjustables. Almost to May! Which means MAYhem and something other then Arko!! I love me some Arko, but the rest of my cabinet is starting to call my name. Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

    It's always unique to pick up a Russian razor and have it actually work!

    Saturday Shave

    The weekend shaves are my favorites because I can take my time and I usually bring out the big razors. Today is a 8/8 Mike Martinez with a smile and is just 1/4 hollow. This razor takes and holds an exceptional edge, while very sharp it just felt like velvet and whisked away the whiskers. An epic shave today.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A+ Smoothness A+ Sharpness A

    Razor: M Martinez 8/8
    Strop: Drygulch Black Latigo
    Brush: Simpson Tulip 2
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: Route 66
    AS: Alcolado Glacial AS, Speick ASB
    Scent: Chanel Egoïst
