Hi all, welcome April, and hope to get some warm weather soon!
Why not play along?
Digging into the shelf of creams and soaps......
Finding the Arko shave stick and a boar brush I loaded a Gillette Slim with a new Feather blade with one on deck. I made sure the razor was open full Throttle(9), then lathered up for an April 1 shave.
Ok, the slickness was not what I'm accostom to, but usable none the less.
The first pass seemed slightly rougher, but that was soon fixed by adjusting my razor (riding the cap) to glide over the skin. The second pass with a the 2cd new blade was smooth and close. A small amount of itching on tje neck, nothing major, that soon subsided before the head was clean and smooth.
I had used this soap months and months ago with irritating results. My skill level must be better now because there were no issues this time.


Now with a little Nivea I'm smooth and clean, ready for the day!
to all
Enjoy!

I can do that. Just let me know.

Good job we know that you shave your head. Otherwise we might be wondering where you have been using them...

Great report, Joe! Glad to hear you enjoyed the Fatboy!

Two sticks are on the way. Should be here by the end of the week.

Hope it's nothing too serious and that you are back to feeling your best soon, Clint.

Day 87.

Someone say Arko? I'll play along. I still have to pursue reduction, so maybe every other day.
Adjustables? I've completely divested myself of them. Unless you count the Rockwell 6S, but that's on the block too.
So my main focus remains the open blades. I'll be hitting 100 straight razor shaves around the middle of the month. I'll probably keep using them for the rest of the month. I'll wait for Mayhem to take a break from them. No, I don't have any insanity planned. Just a few recent acquisitions that I've yet to try.
So meanwhile, today it's the Gravjura again. And the Piccolo to clean up. With a big bowl o' Arko goodness, chased with Glacial Lime splash for menthol Monday. No oopses, just an awesome shave.

Nice shave and the Slim is looking good, Terry! I have an N4 which is the last quarter of 68. It was the end of the Slims being produced.

Nice shave and report, Robert!

Wonderful post and shave Joe.
