    I'm not going to lie, it was a great shave. The Arko Lathered super thick, super slick, and super protective. When I hit myself with the Alum there was no sting at all. A good lather and Rockwell does that. I really don't know why, but the Rockwell always gives great shaves without effort. I love all my other razors, but the Rockwell is just my favorite.

    Turkish Thursday with Arko Soap in a bowl (Refilled with a crushed soap stick) and my Rockwell 6S Matte Black.

    Prep: Hot Shower and Bloom/Lather Building Water
    Soap: Arko Soap
    Razor: Rockwell Razors 6S Matte Black(R5, R4, and R3)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor
    Blade: Tiger Platinum (2)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (No Idea)
    Brush: The Shaving Factory Turkish Boar
    AS: Arko Gold Power

    I scrapped some of the Arko into the bottom of my Captains Choice Heavy Copper, poured some hot water over it while I showered. I poured the bloom water into the VdH bowl with fresh hot water to build the lather from. That lather got slick, thick, and creamy. A really nice shave, if I do say so myself.

    I’m not surprised to hear you say that.
    I have a couple backup sticks too but at this price, it was an easy decision. I’ll be more comfortably set for a while.

    I know, right? Good God, that Arko is still in my cart. I was so close to pulling the trigger.
