Very nice! Similar tastes in watch bands. I recently wore one out, nearly identical (albeit a clasp closure). Worn daily 3 years, across 2 watches.

Took my vacation from the Adjustables & ARKO when Danny's @Hembree Caps & Bases got all matched up and posted. The 1912 soap has a fresh cleared field scent and lathers up easily. No strain using the fat synthetic knot Jim @Jayaruh installed in the handle he turned. The stainless steel handle is slim but long and adds plenty of weight to the zamak DE top end. Still had a full sharp smooth cycle of three+ passes from the blade. No errors but plenty of blade feel! A little sting from the post shave lotion just the way I like it.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

Adjustable Arko August!!

Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (9)
Blade - (3)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Stirling Finest Badger
Post - Alum

Well those three shaves certainly went by fast. By product of a hyper speed life at the moment I suppose. The Slim really performs well. Not quite the same feel as the Fatboy, but it definitely provides a smooth and effective shave. As Charlie @wristwatchb mentioned, my keeping it locked firmly in at 9 all the time sort of removes the "adjustable" out of the equation but hey, when it works it works. That's the same for Arko. Nothing fancy, nothing that smells like flowers or cologne or high class farts - but it gets the job done. And the Stirling badger outperforms some higher end brushes!

Great three pass to a BBS finish and I'm ready for another day tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a few hours down time the next couple of days to catch up better around here but keep it going!! I'm seeing some great stuff and more newbies!! If I haven't said hi yet, then HI!! Have a great Wednesday!!
