  1. Tim, I might hire you as my Lather&Wood agent.....I get popups about some of their soaps quite frequently(they are Amazon popups).

  3. Jim, I received my Boomtown Bay Rum soap from PAA on Friday. I forgot the features of Malbole.

  4. Beaver Woodwright, eh May I call you Gramps, as you're grandfathering those products from the old name??? :)

  6. 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!

  7. 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.
  8. fine shaves and pics gents..

  9. Jeff, I'm afraid I am not yet "one" with the Arko stick.

    November 17 SOTD:

    Razor: Gillette Diplomat
    Blade: Polsilver
    Brush: Frank Shaving Pur-Tech
    Lather: PAA Malbolge
    Aftershave: PAA Malbolge
  11. 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.

    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!

    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!
