Thank you Mark.

 

Thank you... and a “Fine” Sandalwood choice you made today.

 

Thank you Sir I have to pick up some different scents from the brand!

 

How does that Rex shave?

 

don t worry about the labels ,some are creepy..the product is good..

 

I have noticed that...LOL

 

I've had it for about 6 months or so. It is a close tie between it and my 6s for my favorite modern razor. Very smooth, rigid, and just a joy to use. Gets a little aggressive after 3 for me though.

 

Good to know...I have quite a few adjustables both modern and vintage...we’ll see. Thanks for the info...

Tuesday SOTN

Going along with my SE theme, I pulled out my Schick E-2 with a Chick blade. The shave was decent but definitely not as smooth as the recent ones with my ER-1914... I needed to work a little in my usual trouble spots. No significant irritation nor weepers, but not as smooth for sure. What will tomorrow bring? Night all.

Love it or hate it, Arko is a unusual scent for sure.

 

Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Croma Diamat
Brush: RR Plissoft
Soap: Crown & Crane- Jamiacan Peppercorns
Post: Barbasol Brisk A/S


Have been itching to try this soap again, last time i used it i got a very light itching sensation but the scent is fantastic with performance to match.

The scent of Jamaican Peppercorns is very complex and a bit hard to describe, of course it's peppery but there is a whole lot going on than just pepper. It is like a men's peppery cologne something akin to Dior Farenheit but a WHOLE lot better IMO. Scent strength is medium which works well with this type of scent, too potent and it would be cloying.

This particular soap is the Vegan formula. Checked with Karl just to be sure and he emailed me back quickly proving how top notch their customer service is at Crown & Crane. Soap lathers easliy and holds a lot of water, lather has a nice sheen to it and provides plenty of slickness. Post residual slicnkess was good enough for touch ups after rinsing with no problems. C&C has a simple ellegance to their products that scream quality without being just another expensive "luxury" product. I can tell a lot of thought and care went into each of their products i have tried (tallow, vegan, balm, body powder) and have yet to try a product from C&C i did not like.

Managed a near BBS shave with no nicks or weepers. Finished off with Barbasol Brisk A/S which was a great way to end the shave. Hope y'all had a similar experience!

 

That sounds wonderful. Both Beaudelaire and Brut are right in my wheelhouse.

 

Awesome shaves Jamie! How do you like the scent of Crypts? Thia one sounds interesting. See you have some Vintage Black Belt that stuff is classic goodness.

 

Thank you.

I need a B52 bomber to drop a 70,000 lb bomb on Arko, I’m suffering from mental health depression issues using Arko because I have 8 more days to go.
