    More fun with +/- heads , the Seygus Zepprlin .7/.9 and the 30s Swedish Swing, both with Treet Platinum. I prefer the implementation on the Gibbs where it's easy to tell which side you're on.[​IMG]

    Travel Tabac Thursday SOTD

    A quick but enjoyable shave before going out to the pool with the in-laws. We have family photos this afternoon and I'll look great after this smooth shave. Happy shaves and happy Thursday everyone!

    The Lavender ASL came sooner than expected, so second day in a row with the Mickey Lee soap, not that I'm complaining.
    The HoB on the other hand was disappointing, a big hit of alcohol before the underwhelming lavender eventually came through.
    A real pity because their rose variety is great vfm. Ah well...
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    Adjustable Arko August!!

    August 15

    Razor - Qshave (Futur clone) (6)
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - I*V10 The Moreau Hybrid
    Post - Alum

    Final shave on this Voskhod and number three with the Qshave wide open. Had to go back to the hybrid brush again. Not only is the mesquite great to look at and hold, that hybrid knot just knocks my socks off. Every time. Arko is easy to lather anyway but with this brush it just wills itself into existence. Quick load and enough lather to run a carwash with. The blade was smooth and the wide open gap on the Qshave made it easy to get the baby as always. Another fantastic shave in the books and we'll move on to something else tomorrow.

    Speaking of moving on - we are not officially halfway through August. Say what?!?!?!?! Yep. It's the 15th. Time to start dusting off those single edges as SEptember is only two weeks away!! Have a fantastic Friday!!

    Your set up was a cracker. Any preference between the FB and the slim?
