I think after using both for a while I'm leaning towards Arko over Derby.
Happy Memorial day

May 27 SOTD:

Razor: Gillette 1911 Single Ring
Blade: Rapira PL
Brush: PAA The Green Ray
Lather: Oleo New City

Fantastic SOTD was had.

Everything came together like a smooth running sports car.
I'm buzzing my head with clippers, I'm still a bit nervous putting a dent cartridge to my head, although I've yet to have an issue with bleeding (blood thinner).

That Lime by RR is probably more "Lime-like" than the Lime-Burst I have(from RR).

 

Yes you're correct. It's lovely

 

Memorial week end shave #3
Military tech razor shaves great as most techs do. The soap is good and overall just a wonderful shave. Cologne for the day is Tom Ford Neroli portifino

 

I have been on vacation, for several days, and just now got around to shaving. So, it is Monkey Tail Time. I had a silky smooth 2 pass shave, with minor touch ups, around the chin. This left me with a BBS face. These vintage Monkey Tails are not too common, and fun to restore, hone and use.


Razor- Joseph Rodgers & Sons. Cutlers To Their Majesties. No.6 Norfolk Street . Sheffield England.
Brush- Omega 10098 Boar
Soap- Pinaud Clubman
Aftershave-Pinaud Clubman

 

A bunch of days worth of growth and it was a toss up between whether it would fall to the Muhle R41, Merkur 37C or 39C...short and swift was the decision. Love the 37C and I mentioned previously it just balances better than the 39C for me. Voskhod in this razor is smooth as can be.

Soap of the day was Barrister & Mann Seville which is slick and a wonderful performer. The Chubby 1 makes quick work of this soap and is quickly becoming my favourite brush. However, the Paladin Sumo will be giving it a run for its money me thinks.

Lathered up and got through an easy two pass DFS! No third pass needed! Hope your weekend was good, good luck with the week and Happy Shaves All!
