    Arko Adjustable April

    April 13
    Razor - Soviet Consul
    Blade - [​IMG]
    Soap - Russian Shave Cream
    Brush - Stirling Two Band Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    Time to shake things up a bit. It's Arko Adjustable April, but let's put the emphasis on "adjustable". Time to grab a Russian razor. The Consul is the best of the Russian adjustables I've found. Almost as comfortable as a Gillette. More aggressive but it works. And for something built over there.....that's a definite plus! I recently received a care package from Korea from Keith @Keithmax with a couple of Russian shaving creams. One was Start, which I've tried, and the other I haven't. Nor can I get a reliable translation on the name yet. But.....it's going to be put to a trial tonight. So. Russian razor, Russian shave cream. Definitely need the flagship Russian blade. Voskhod it is. Now. The brush. Well, I do have a really crappy Russian boar thingy they call a brush, but to give the shave cream a real try I went synthetic. I know, not quite a full on Russian thing but it's fair.

    I have only used shave cream a few times in the 5 years I've been here. So figuring it out is a bit of a learning curve for me. I can honestly say that I ended up with a fairly thin lather but it worked. I think I can do better. I want to try it a few times to make sure I'm doing it right and the performance is on the cream, not on me. For tonight it worked well enough for two passes and touchups with the Consul and all was well. A bit of heat from the alum, but I suspect that was me being a bit heavy handed with the Consul wide open. Still, a fun and decent Russian shave all around.

    Speaking of Russians - I hope you're all staying active during the quarantine so that you are staying physically fit! Natalia wanted to encourage everyone and sends her greetings.

    Stay safe and fit everyone! And have a Terrific Tuesday!!
