  2. First-rate travel kit, Jason. Safe travels.

  3. In addition to Arko being our favorite shaving soap, I had no idea we shared common musical interests! I still think the song would benefit from a trio of background yodelers, but that's just my untrained opinion.

  4. That's a classy kit, bra.

  5. Through the Pachebel canon* coda, I laughed a lot.

  7. arko is no picnic..:D,just good shave soap..i want to use something luxurious for my sunday shave.:):eatdrink047:arko is vintage williams but with an industrial lemon scent.it boils down to to this..the western world chose to scent their cleaning products with lemon /lime fragrances.so they get a crap rap ,kind of insulting to countries who like these scents to be honest..

    I was surprised how much soap this brush was able to pick up. The tips are chemically treated and they are uber-soft.
    Too soft, IMO. They no longer have the feel of a natural product, but rather could be confused for a synthetic.
    The Sunday Shaver gets the job done. Today, no irritation, nicks or cuts. Just a very nice shave.
    The Jerry Juice is on its last leg. Maybe two more shaves.
    There's more than two more shaves remaining from the Arko.

  9. Great looking shave Joseph. The Snake and Soap Destroyer together are quite the setup. The Snake does have a slippery handle but in time I got the hang of the handle.
  10. I am going to give the Cobra another go starting today. Good to see your post, Clint.

  11. Lots of improvisation in that Pachebal piece.

  12. Every note was composed by Johann Pachebel, 1653-1706. The musical form of a "Canon" is a constant and repeating bass line. The voices above start out simply and with each successive repetition, include more flourishes and ornamentation. To the lay listener, this can indeed sound like improvisation, but I assure you, the musicians are playing exactly what the composer wrote.

    Went back to the Cobra and focussed on a VERY shallow angle. This was proving successful and even though
    on my neck, I didn't feel the "skipping", I was left with some splotches of red.
    The Cobra has usurped the position of the MOST aggressive razor in my den.
    Jerry Juice is gone. Nice AS, but no re-purchase.
