Terrific Arko shave Barry. Arko has always created a rich and slick lather for me. I get my best headshaves from it. Enjoy your afternoon.

 

Thank you, joe. My head/dome shave this morning with the humble Arko stick was superb. I also get the same result from the Derby Stick too. Have a great Saturday.

 

Today is a no shave day for me. That Feather DX shavette got me really close.
For my next shave. Vintage Gillette that I have not used in a while

 

I am sure your Sunday shave will be fine. Enjoy your Saturday, Hogie.

Good afternoon.

Straight Razor Shave #436
13/8 Art Razor 1000
Rockwell 6C (Headshave setting #4)
***Rockwell DE Blade (3rd use)***
MrEE Tuxedo Brush
Stirling Tsuka SS, AS and EdT
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 23 hrs
Dome Growth: 2 days



I am going out to a singles get together this evening so I decided to do a face and headshave. Of course, I used Tsuka because it has a masculine/ cologne scent.
I just love the Rockwell 6C on setting 4 for headshaves. ***I used this razor for a face and headshave with the same blade late last month and I mistakenly posted that it was 3rd and 4th use, but in actuality it was first and second use.*** Three pass shave plus touchups gave me a cueball smooth result without any problems.
Artie gave me a near BBS shave without incident on 2 passes.
Alum on face and neck gave zero feedback, but some was on the back of my neck near my ears. Splashed on the aftershave and there wasn't any burning. Spritzed the matching EdT to finish this session. I will be leaving in a little over an hr. so I will lightly refresh the EdT on my wrists and a shot on my neck. Take care.
