You still have that Beta Rose. You know Mike never came out with another version. Too bad. Didn't agree with me, but, as we all know scents are very subjective.
Tonight's shave was with an American Razor. I had a flawless 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Only 1 issue, the little mole on my neck, that "use to be there". This one takes a superb edge. Razor- Shapleigh HDW Co. St Louis USA. Brush- B400 By Tom. Whipped Dog Boar Knot. 2 hairs lost. Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy scented Aftershave- Avon Spicy. Viking Horn Decanter.
Single Pass Evening Head Shave: PAA Prismatic. I think I underestimated this razor. My theory is that the razor benefits if the handle is secure but not too tight, giving it just a little gap to play with. A great shave and the Durham handle is much preferred to the stock one.

Arko Adjustable April!! April 17 Razor - Gillette Techmatic (1,Me) Blade - (3) Pre-Shave - Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap Soap - Arko Brush - Omega Pro 48 Boar Post - Alum Another round with the Techmatic. I picked up my big Pro 48 brush. Haven't used this brush in many months. I had forgotten just how big it is. You can nearly lather your entire face just by centering it. This was my first decent brush and it's a soft yet very effective boar. Loaded the Arko out of the mug with no effort involved and I had enough lather left over to shave for two more days I think. Two passes and touch ups and again a very nice DFS. Seems like once you get the angle figured out with the Techmatic it's very smooth and effective. Haven't managed a BBS yet with it but given its physics that may be asking too much. Not like I chase them down anyway. No blood, no worries, quiet alum. Not bad for a razor that is at least 40 years old.
