First shave in the new place and since it's Arko Adjustable April, then I obviously chose Arko and an adjustable razor. And, since I had a three day growth through the move, why not grab the Consul and open that bad boy up to setting "me". Remember, 9 on a Consul is significantly more aggressive, gapwise, than a 9 on a Gillette adjustable. We're up in Futur territory, or Ming-Shi for those who own the clone.
Arko is the gift from Turkey that always delivers one thing. Lather. And lots of it. And it's slick. The 30 DC LE brush did fantastic work and looked good doing it. Two passes and three days of beard is gone. And, as a bonus, my first shave included blood on steel. I skipped the blade on my neck on the second XTG pass and it needed styptic to close the cut. Nothing terribly serious, but I couldn't help but think how appropriate that I'd bleed on the first shave. Perfection.
For the first time since 1940, St. Louis had snow on Easter. About 2 inches of heavy wet snow that came in shortly after
@Bama Samurai drove East toward Kentucky. I'm not blaming him. I'm just pointing out the coincidence. It will be gone by tomorrow and Spring will try again around here. Hope you have a great week!
