    I was informed that school sites in CA will most likely remain closed for the remainder of the year :angry032:

    Yep! We are settling in for the long haul. Hoping and praying COVID-19 has a seasonal cycle and we get a break for the summer and a treatment is found and available before fall, but my hopes and our plans aren't lining up very well.

    I agree that the Omega Pro 49 is the best deal for a boar brush. I shake my head and still do not understand why Omega sells it so cheaply. I used it today and it really is a fine brush.

    Why? Because of the 007?

    My son set up that account for me. I don’t even know how to use Twitter. Thanks for the good thoughts! I missed all you guys! I’m sheltering at home. I’m in the high risk demographic. You should use the Shake Sharp for a head shave. It’s great. Take care and stay healthy.

    Well, for starters I’d guess the ‘48, ‘49 or ‘83 Pro handles all cost them about 3 cents to make...the metal band on the ‘98 triples the price of that one..:happy088:

    Jason @jtspartan, some of your fellow Canadians are encouraging unapproved behavior.

    Arko Adjustable April

    April 1

    Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette 195 - The Fatboy
    Blade - [​IMG]
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Omega 10066 BoS
    Post - Alum

    My, my, my. April is off to a ROLLING start. 21 pages already. Yep. We're the best place for shaving anywhere! Thanks to Chris @Bama Samurai for opening us up again. Nice to have the boss back in town and giving us great info like that video on shave sticks too!

    Now, having said that, I rarely use Arko as a shave stick. I buy it in stick form, but grate it into a mug then press it to make it a puck soap. Or a mug soap. Whichever you prefer. My Seaforth mug holds 1.5 sticks of Arko, and at the rate I use it that's a LOT of soap. I'll try to work this current one down to the bottom if I can. Then, it will be ready to reload. I have 10 sticks waiting.

    So why Arko, you ask? Well, when it comes to bargain prices and top performance, Arko is a legend. That lemony gift from Turkey (I know, I know, some of you don't think it smells lemony) is a true classic in what you can call "the basics".


    As for the adjustable side of things? Well, why put the Fatboy back on the rack just because I used it for two days in March? It's got some life left in it with that Sharp Star so there you go. For the lather win, the Omega boar and it did a fantastic job. No April Fool joke with this shave. Three passes, Fatboy wide open, and the baby is in the house with no issues. Have a fantastic night and a better Thursday!!
