I don't recall my Boomtown soap looking like that. I guess he changed the design..

Leads me to this question-can you fit your MWF soap into the bottom of the jar, or do you just unwrap the paper and leave it like that as you shave with it?

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

Everything in my shave set up this morning paired together wonderfully.

I have mentioned on many occasions in my posts that The scent of both Derby & Arko soaps is something i personally don't mind to my sense of smell it's just a 'clean pleasant soap/lemon citrus scent' which like the vast majority of shaving soaps with a few rules to the exception that I have used the scent virtually vanishes after I have done my cold-water face rinse.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Thank you Joe

Fabulous shave Barry.

Very nice Joe and a good one at “stopping a straight”.

I believe mine is an older design.

Awesome Arko. Shave Barry.
I loved the Arko scent, but my puck lost its citronella scent. It now smells like Ivory soap to me and I am fine with it. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon.

Fine Schick Sunday shave Joe.

Thanks Joe. Yeah, auto fill dropped the r. I will fix it. Thanks.

thank you, Joe.

Thank you, Joe..My recent order of the Statum Platinum Chrome blades from Ebay i added a new Derby soap bowl too just to fill the order. Have a great Sunday.

Pretty nice shave this morning. One pass. One Knick, no Cuts, No Polka-dots. What has begun to bug me is the possibility of Ingrown Hairs on my cheeks(as I've been talkinabout). I didn't think the cheeks would HAVE ingrowns. If you fellas have any comments pertaining to this, I'd appreciate them. Anyway, the Knick happened on S.Porcupine Alley(chin). The Bill Neumann(Wm.Neumann&Co.)aftershave provided good skin food, as it always does. Smells nice and masculine, too. Most Outstanding.

Thank you Joe

HI everyone.

Gillette Heritage DE Razor
Gillette Platinum DE Blade (2, 3)
Hembree/Maggard Timberwolf Brush
Arko SS
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 23 hrs
Dome Growth: 2 days



I decided to do an above the shoulder shave today with my "new" Gillette Heritage razor.
I wanted to see how it shaved on my dome.
I picked out the Arko to be in sync with Barry's @palmolive fox shave this morning.
Also, Arko is quite slick and therefore it is great for headshaves.

Did 2 passes on face and neck w/o touchups and 3 passes the dome with touchups. There wasn't any bloodshed today. The alum was silent except a zing at the nape near my left ear. Splashed on the cool AQ aftershave to finish this nice smooth and comfortable session. Take care.

Thanks for the shout Joe.

Personna Hairshaper Blade (8)
JR #386 Silvertip Badger Brush
Razorock XX SS
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS
Stirling Alum Block

I decided to do a shavette shave today because I wanted to end this month with two open blade shaves. I haven't decided what straight will be used tomorrow.
Anyway, I will continue to use Razorock XX SS every Monday through Friday until it is Edmund Fitzgerald. Made a beautiful lather with my all-time favorite brush.
Did a 2.5 pass shave without any oops! Lol! The alum was silent. Splashed on that nice AQ Aqua Velva Ice Blue to finish this relaxing shave. Take care.

Nice. I find the Heritage to be a very mild razor.
