    How is the Nivea body stick? Is it suitable for face/head shaving? I'm on the fence.

    Arko Adjustable April

    April 24

    Razor - 1960 (F4) Gillette Toggle (9)
    Blade - sharp-star.jpg (1)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Jayaruh #312
    Post - Alum

    Six shaves left for me this month and I just happen to have six DE adjustables. So, one per day until we're done. I'll stick with Sharp Star and just move the blade as I go. A nice way to finish out Arko Adjustable April, if I say so myself. I went to the JR312 to get that horse feel and got a fantastic and easy lather. The Toggle is, of course, set wide open and I used all three passes just to enjoy the process. A little shaving Zen was in order tonight. Near-BBS finish and the world looks better than it did before I shaved. I, however, look no better. But, then, it's hard to improve on perfection. (Go ahead, take your digs....I opened the door).

    Hope your week is going wonderfully!

    Oh - the el-cheapo pain stick arrived today. Looks to be a near exact clone of the Kai Captain. I'll be giving it a go-over and getting ready to do some comparisons of both the razors - and of the blades that came with it. I can't imagine that they'd be good, but we'll see.

    That sounds right Danny, till ya figure out most alcohol is 50% water, unless you use the fule type. I guess you could use Clear Water 190.

    Well Danny, I've never argued with any of my razors, nor do I condone fittin between others in the den. Glad you got the situation under control before a all out fight broke out.
    Nice shave

    Edit...
    Fittin - fit-en

    The blades did not impress me. I ordered some Feathers today. Watch your pins. One of mine was loose and slid out of place. Take care.
