    August 19

    Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Semogue 1305
    Post - Alum

    Monday is in the books, thankfully, and an extremely stressful day is down with it. Time to get a nice zen shave on to let the tensions go. Second day with the Slim and Voskhod so the stage is set well for stress relief there. Arko and the Semogue 1305 on its second run. I've been keeping the brush in Arko to help it break in. The first use it barely held enough soap for the first pass. Well, it has improved. Two passes were easily done, though a third pass involved some more loading. Clearly this brush needs some break in time to reach its full potential. No worries. I got that third lather going and finished all three passes with smooth sailing. Plus, it gave me time to let the day settle out as I worked that third lather back up. I'll take it! Tuesday is up next! Make it a great one.

    Monday SOTN

    Back at home after my travels... I just acquired another Gem bullet tip set from the 'bay for a good price so I felt the need to use one tonight. I decided to do my best to completely ride the cap and I was greeted with a wonderful and close shave tonight. I may use this razor / gem ss blade combo tomorrow night . Have a great night all!

    Best shave yet with this soap, it takes a lot of loading, unusual for a soft soap.
    I still don't find it to be as good as offerings from other U.S. artisans, maybe with practice.
    Happy Shaving one and all.
