Too much Arko is impossible per the current understanding of space-time. It's like, "I have too much money." Or "what am I gonna do with all this gold?"

Carry on.

Yes, yes, yes, I need to rephrase that. Let's see. I currently have enough Arko to last until an undetermined date that may, indeed, be beyond my personal lifetime. However, there is always room for another 12 pack in order to assure that at no time in this lifetime or the next will I ever not have a stick of Arko available.

Multiple universes, possibility of future quantum travel. Stock up while supplies last.

All those Arko sticks will look good next to the limitless tucks of Voskhod and Sharp Star blades.

Bic lighters, cases of sterno, tins of tobacco, 556, 12ga, NBC hazard suits, radiometer, surplus military rations, cases of vodka, wood dowels and holy water be overkill?

What are we preparing for?

Situational awareness, y'all.

Ya gotta think about the children, too.

It could go Mad Max/Dune, but probably hunger games first.

It would be important for us to make sure future generations have enough Arko and Russian steel to last their lifetimes, or until they can reinvent them after it's all turned into "the nuthin'" Thunderdome might actually be fought over the last sharp blades.

Today was not a focus shave. The Magic Shavette was calling to me, and I answered. Popped in an Astra SP, lathered up the Henri Et Victoria Cognac and Cubans with the RazoRock Plissoft Big Bruce and went to town. The C&C soap doesn't rate as my top soap, but it does do a good job. The lather is not on the level of Tabac, Stirling or Route 66, but it isn't miles behind either. I got enough lather for two face passes and a head shave. It started to break down just a bit during the head shave. I am just smitten with the scent though. The Magic worked its usual magic. RazoRock Puros was the perfect aftershave match.

I have pretty much settled on my little travel Gillette Tech as my perfect head shave razor. The super short handle on it gives me the right angle and amount of control. I used it with a Voskhod and got a fantastic head shave out of it.

Turns out...we may need another hero.

Thank you.

It is a green fougere scent with a little citrus, inbetween Green Irish Tweed and Rive Gauche. The scent dissapears after the shave so no interference with the Fahrenheit. I was in the mood for some oil infused leather.

It is a classic and a great value.

Good point Keith. I'm the same when it come to distance and/or travel time. I usually give the time.

A change in my plans for the week. The Chubby 2 Synthetic is benched so I can use the Shavemac Flat Top today. On the maiden voyage I was struck with the sheer size of the brush, the tremendous backbone and super soft tips. I will update my impressions after using the brush more next week. I can say that it literally eats soap and makes a mountain of lather. The shave this morning was consistently boring. Two passes and touch ups ending in a near BBS which is a great work morning shave. I finished off the shave with a splash of Fine Vetiver. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

Another fantastic picture, Clint. You have a great eye for setting these up.

Clint, your new brush looks amazing in full bloom!

I used canned cream today(Rise), but it means I get to use the Jayaruh 59 brush for two consecutive soap shaves. It's back to Stirling Barbershop/Clubman tomorrow.

Great picture, Clint! Is everything thing in color, or did you hilight the brush somehow to show it only in color?

Razorock Plissoft Brush
Stirling Frozen Tundra
Gillette Slim
Stirling Unscented PSB
Proraso Green AS

It was a great two pass shave this morning using some Stirling Frozen Tundra and the Gillette Slim. Nice and smooth. I love the scent of the Frozen Tundra, and like all Stirling soaps, the performance is hard to beat. The Proraso after shaves are really good, I will be using both of the ones I have more often. I hope everyone has a great day!
