Thank you Gary.

Well done Barry. What is the scent of the shave soap?

Thank you Joe. The scent of the soap to my nose, which isn't the best at describing scents, has a light classic barbershop, clean, soapy, baby powder scent. Overall, it's a great in-expensive soap and a great performer.

Back with Ike this morning, with a diffferent

brush-Stoylin "li'l brudder".

Much better shave this morning. A minute a the Loading Dock, and man that Stoylin scooped up a lot of soap. Clean, clear shave all over.2 passes. I made it a point to bring out more of the Ike A.S>, but such a small pour spout on the bottle makes it a real challenge. I'm pleased, oveerall. Most Outstanding.

A-1 shaves Barry.

Joe.

Jillette January

Razor - 1959 Gillette Tech
Blade - (2)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Semogue 620 Boar

It's the end of the day in my world. Morning in everyone else's. Time to shave. Second run with the '59 Gillette Tech and Rapira SS blade. I was debating on the drive home which soap to use. Finally decided to just stop arguing with myself and use the Turkish miracle soap, Arko. Easiest lathering soap in the world, refreshing (?) lemony scent and I've got loads of it. I have used the stick on my face before, then worked a lather with a wet brush, but I prefer to grate a puck or two at a time into a wooden soap bowl from St. Charles Shaving Soap (now out of business) and load the brush as usual. The Semogue 620 made that an easy process.

Two very smooth and comfortable passes, some touch ups, and the day is done. I'll splash on some Bay Rum or Lilac Vegetal before heading into work tonight. For now, it's time to put my feet up and think about getting some sleep in a bit. Enjoy your day!

fine tuesday tech shave Neal.

SRS # 1227

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Double Duck Twin Duck Special #1
Brush: JTSpartan Boar 24 mm
Lather: Wholly Kaw King of Oud
Aftershave: Wholly Kaw King of Oud
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Slowly but surely I am having this soap steadily march towards its eventual meetup with the Edmund Fitzgerald. Just love the sweetness of this scent which does not have the darkness vibe of some of the Oud soaps in my dens.

The Twin Duck straight did a masterful job removing this morning’s growth with the customary three passes. Once again the wndresult was a flawless shave.

Hope you all have an awesome day.

Very nice Arko shave Neal.

Excellent Pre de Provence shave Gary. I might have to bust out mine soon.

Terrific Pre de Provence Tuesday shave Gary.

Oudstanding shave Joe.
