    Tim, I might hire you as my Lather&Wood agent.....I get popups about some of their soaps quite frequently(they are Amazon popups).

    Jim, I received my Boomtown Bay Rum soap from PAA on Friday. I forgot the features of Malbole.

    Sunday morning:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Minora
    Arko Shaving Stick
    Arko Aqua AS Gel
    Hega AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    My sweet young friend Matthew inspired me to use the Arko stick this morning and I really owe it to myself to use it more often because it’s so damned good. I love that clean, soapy scent, it gave me a ton of great lather, and it’s so skin friendly. (to me) The Arko Aqua gel has a lovely citrusy scent as well as a strong menthol sensation and lots of moisturizing. The Hega aftershave is neutral scented and very comfortable on the skin. A great shave in three passes!

    Enjoy your Sunday!

    I haven't yet shaved with it, but a few "smell tests" show me it's quite good....the manliness is definitely there. I'll pair it with Clubman Special Reserve A.S.

    Jeff, I'm afraid I am not yet "one" with the Arko stick.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    The gaps are more aggressive on the Ideal than any of the Gillette Adjustable. And the head on this one isn't quite as tight as a Gillette. So while the shave is good - it isn't quite as smooth as with a Gillette.

    Vitos Pre Shave Cream
    P&B Imperial Rum Shaving Soap
    Simpson Commodore X3 Best Badger Brush
    Ever Ready 1924 on an Ikon Tuckaway with a GEM SS PTFE Blade
    Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber
    Palmer's Moisturiser
    Arthur's Bay Rum


    3 passes for a fantastic Sunday Afternoon shave.


    Special thanks to Arthur (from another forum ) for the Bay Rum which he kindly gifted to me. .....great stuff. It completely blows my own attempt out of the water. My own version had so much clove it could be used to ease toothache!

    I'd like to have another Russian shave item, such as the Leather A.S.(that was a gift from a TSD raffle of many years ago).

    An awakening in the rain (outside, not in the bedroom!) Light, but thick, insistent. Gorgeous!
    I smelled a bit of soaps and then the choice fell on this Greek whose olfactory notes, if only read, would not have made me even get close!

    But the shave was exceptionally good!
