That was good advice your mother gave you, Paul. I just showered and shaved and do, indeed feel much better. Thank you for the well-wishes.
I have a few suggestions. AA (Anosmics Anonymous) RTA (Roadside Toilet Aficionado) and for the Yul Brynner fans out there: The Magnificent Shaven
That is a good question. The Good: Gorgeous Design and Craftsmanship Takes Feather AC Blades Decent Re-Sale Value The Bad: Ergonomically difficult, outside of a WTG/Top to Bottom stroke Extremely Slippery (Alum Required) Some blade chatter or, what I call "skipping". They ALWAYS leave marks.
Thursday, December 8 Day 18 I believe... Arko~~Simpson M7~~Gem MMOC/Gem~~Jerry Juice~~YSL M7 Fresh Gem on some...dare I admit saying...damn fine lather, really performed well. One red mark on the ATG neck-pass, but forgettable. Had to pair the Simpson M7 with my YSL M7 One of the sweetest stanks I own.
@Primotenore's done went and started an Arko movement, dare I say transformation, with this thread. I heretofore take umbrage with and eschew all other soaps and creams now that I've found the one.
Much appreciated Joseph. . This was long before I knew about TSD, but I still valued my shaving adventures.
I have a "Yul Brynner" look on the left side of my head, about halfway down, just under the part. How did I get it. Sometimes when I am in couch-potato mode, I end up with a clump of hair in that exact location, so I did what my barbarettes call a "Homemade Haircut"...angrily trying to get rid of the clump, but it resulted in a baldspot where the clump was. I'll go for a REAL haircut next week, and hope my barberette can fix the homemade thing. It's getting a little long in all areas save for where the clump was.
Day 21 Shaved at home this morning before flying for a meeting. Did I take the Castle Forbes on the road to keep the 3017 going? Yup.
friday g-1 slim/platinum soc boar arko fine good morning gents arko work shave..again. have a fine day everyone
Friday, December 9 Day 19 Arko~~dubl duck #4~~Gem MMOC/Gem~~Jerry Juice~~Nasomatto Black Afgano Forgot to post this shave yesterday. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Saturday, December 10 Day 20 Arko~~Simpson PL8~~Feather DX/Feather Professional~~Sailor Jerry~~Oud al Layl I can't believe I am saying this, but look at this gorgeous lather: If this soap was without scent, it would be my #1 Unscented Lather... but alas and alack, Arko still smells like the soap from the hand crank dispenser in a 1965 public restroom. That means...when this stuff is gone, it's gone for good. Fresh Feather Professional inserted in the DX provided an exceptionally smooth shave, replete with a few random weepers. The Jerry Juice is almost spent. That's another "no-repurchase" product. Nice, but unnecessary. Stank du jour is the bombastic Oud al Layl. Have a great weekend.
another fine arko work shave.slim on 7 for a final pass picked up some stragglers.very nice.very brit red tip like.long deserved non arko shave for sunday..
