Awesome April 10 April 2017 Day Eleven - The Arko Challenge It's Monday! That means Osage, which is to be applied briskly for that all over tingly feeling, though I didn't get nuts with it. Parker SRX, Voskhod 10/30, this is how I do it: Cold water mild soap wash Arko application Damp brush Kung fu BBS Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado. Have a Terrific Tuesday!
Yeaaaaaaa....... That might have been a poor choice of words. But it's 0045 I am at work and I did not get much sleep yestetday. Best excuse I got.
Thanks very much Charlie. The brush is excellent. Great fit and very easy to load. I like the Red, White & Blue. Probably no surprise.
April 11, 2017 Colonial Razors “The General” Feather Pro (4) WDC-8 with Druida Manchurian Reef Point Dragon’s Blood The WDC-8 destroyed the last of the Dragon's Blood soap this morning. I have enjoyed the soap but can't say I am said to see it gone. I'll finish off the week with another Reef Point soap. With a nice slick lather, I decided to mix things up a little and go with a two pass shave. In order to get my normal results, I had to spend more time on clean ups. While the General is efficient it is not as efficient as the AlumiGoose V1. I will give the Feather Super Pro/General combo a try in the future. I finished off the shave with a splash of Fine Platinum. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
Very good picture and setup Clint. I find Dragon's Blood soap to be a bit of a contradiction. There are times when I am very pleased with the soap and other times not so much.
Thank you Doug. While Dragon's Blood always provides a wonderful slick lather, the scent causes me to feel just like you. Some days I enjoy it and other days not at all.
April 11 SOTD: Stirling Synthetic Brush CB Rowan's Citrus Spice SS Gem 1912 Stirling Unscented PSB Two Girls Florida Water AS It was a very nice shave this morning, almost effortless. The soap was slick, and the razor was smooth. Not much else to say about it. I hope everyone has a great day!
All depends on the number of razors you have. Mine holds 8 and the humidor holds quite a few blades. The rest are in a test tube rack. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
SOTD April 11, 2017 Blade: GEM Stainless Razor: GEM 1912 Brush: Artisan badger Lather: TSD Barber Shoppe Post: Witch hazel splash, TSD Iced Barber Shoppe aftershave WTG, touch-up Nice and efficient shave again this morning with the 1912. Couple of weepers on my chin but nothing too bad. They went away with the cold rinse. Otherwise a smooth and enjoyable shave. Have a great day!
