Titanic and 3017...?

Day 18

Arko~~Simpson M7~~Friodur 472~~Sailor Jerry (not pictured)~~Montale Leather Patchouli
Missed yesterday's shave, having come down with what appears to be influenza.
On there bright side, I scored this beautiful M7, one of my favorite handles and this one has a very nice Manchurian knot.
Arko shows some serious usage, but we're not finished yet.
The 472 is a classic and always gives a superior shave.
Montale to finish.

I learned this later in life, Paul. We don't bathe often here in the backwoods. And if we do, most of the time we just hop out of the pond and air dry.

 

That's a classy setup, Joseph. Congrats on picking up that beautiful M7.

 

Y'know, if I bathed in a pond, the pond would be full of Clubman(or COULD be depending on my "rotation".).

 

Well, at least the moss would be eradicated, but what about those little fishies.

 

Aaah, I'm not su sure, since one of the features of Clubman is OakMOSS. As for the fishies, they'd get used to it quickly.

 

How did the "Arko vs. Williams" survey end up?

 

You've a keen eye, matey. Makes me almost forget I am shaving with Arko.

 

not quite sure,arko most likely..

Sorry to hear you are under the weather, Maestro. If you were plugged up, at least you avoided smelling the soap for a day…

 

This one? Arko, of course.

Almost...

 

I hope you continue to feel better, Joseph. You'd be well advised to follow Dr. Mrs. Primo's instructions.

What is the final verdict on the Cobra? Is it a keeper?

 

I completed Arko shave # 13 last night with near-BBS results. I hope I can finish this stick sometime in 2023.

I'll use the Gillette Travel Tech a few more times (have a few GSB blades to 3017) and then deploy my Mongoose SE which uses Feather AC blades.

As enlightened users of Arko, it seems like we need a special name.

 

Arkonians..

 

Welll....I don't know that you can put me in THAT persuasion-but I'll get back to you if I try it and like it(the stick).

 

Divorcees?

Here's a story for you that hopefully will enlighten you as you proceed through your flu(and I'm sorry you have it, by the way). At about the 4th day of my last flu(when I had very little energy to do anything except lie in bed and sip water and casually bite some crackers), my Mom called me and said maybe it's time to take a shower and shave, I might feel better. I did both, and I DID feel better .(Course not 100%, but it put me in that direction).
