    pre shave soap mix
    Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
    Blade: Rapira SS
    Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
    Soap: Siliski- Patchouli Blend
    Post: Stirling- Glastonbury Balm


    Had a swell shave this afternoon with Siliski Soaps Patchouli Blend. Siliski has a simple ellegance that gives a reminder that this really is a artisan soap. Andrew is a class act and cannot say enough good things about any of the Siliski products i have tried so far ( Shave Soap, Post Shave Oil, Body Butter Bar) and everything has been of top notch quality.


    Performance of this soap is of course really good. Started out with the brush a bit too dry and found it likes a wetter brush to start with. After a little loading had plenty of soao for 3 passes with a little to spare. The post residual slickness was excellent and much better than i remember which may be due to the addition of all that water. Had a great BBS shave with no issues and couldnt be happier with the results.

    Scent is Patchouli but with subtle suporting notes to give it a bit of uniquness. Scent strength is rather mild and not overpowering at all. As with all Siliski scents is on the natural side.

    Finished off with Glastonbury Balm which paired well and helped keep that Patchouli vibe going a bit longer. Hope everyone had a great shave!

    Arko Adjustable April

    April 3

    Razor - 1960 (F4) Gillette Toggle (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Jayaruh #46
    Post - Alum

    Third day on the Toggle and Voskhod and the only change was to go to the JR46 brush. I decided to forge ahead with the Arko, as it's Arko April, even though it would be totally appropriate to switch to Williams Wednesday. I haven't decided if I'll make all 30 shaves with Arko but I'm off to a great start. Three passes as I took my time and enjoyed the process tonight. A BBS was the pay off and quiet alum was a bonus. Nothing but good things to say for the shaves so far this month.

    Tomorrow I'll switch to a different adjustable. Not sure which one yet. I may just close my eyes and grab one out of the rack. Enjoy your Thursday!
