Tim, I might hire you as my Lather&Wood agent.....I get popups about some of their soaps quite frequently(they are Amazon popups).
Beaver Woodwright, eh May I call you Gramps, as you're grandfathering those products from the old name???
Sunday morning: Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/new Minora Arko Shaving Stick Arko Aqua AS Gel Hega AS Splash Bleu de Chanel EdP My sweet young friend Matthew inspired me to use the Arko stick this morning and I really owe it to myself to use it more often because it’s so damned good. I love that clean, soapy scent, it gave me a ton of great lather, and it’s so skin friendly. (to me) The Arko Aqua gel has a lovely citrusy scent as well as a strong menthol sensation and lots of moisturizing. The Hega aftershave is neutral scented and very comfortable on the skin. A great shave in three passes! Enjoy your Sunday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I haven't yet shaved with it, but a few "smell tests" show me it's quite good....the manliness is definitely there. I'll pair it with Clubman Special Reserve A.S.

The gaps are more aggressive on the Ideal than any of the Gillette Adjustable. And the head on this one isn't quite as tight as a Gillette. So while the shave is good - it isn't quite as smooth as with a Gillette.
Sunday 17th November Vitos Pre Shave Cream P&B Imperial Rum Shaving Soap Simpson Commodore X3 Best Badger Brush Ever Ready 1924 on an Ikon Tuckaway with a GEM SS PTFE Blade Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber Palmer's Moisturiser Arthur's Bay Rum 3 passes for a fantastic Sunday Afternoon shave. Special thanks to Arthur (from another forum ) for the Bay Rum which he kindly gifted to me. .....great stuff. It completely blows my own attempt out of the water. My own version had so much clove it could be used to ease toothache!
I'd like to have another Russian shave item, such as the Leather A.S.(that was a gift from a TSD raffle of many years ago).
2019-11-17, Sunday An awakening in the rain (outside, not in the bedroom!) Light, but thick, insistent. Gorgeous! I smelled a bit of soaps and then the choice fell on this Greek whose olfactory notes, if only read, would not have made me even get close! But the shave was exceptionally good!
