awesome shave and pics Jim..

Great combination on the cream & AS.

You can’t go wrong wiht a good Russian. This is another birth year one, this time from the STIZ factory. Although the name of this model is Moscow, the picture is actually from St. Petersburg. Or, at least that’s what @mlys7884 told me when I bought it. Maybe a disgruntled foreman repping his home town on the sly.

Arko Adjustable April

April 28
Razor - 1960 (F4) Gillette Toggle (9)
Blade - (1)
Soap - Arko
Brush - @Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Well, boys and girls, we're down to the last three shaves of Arko Adjustable April. Clearly I'll be sticking with Arko for those three days. And which adjustable to use for the final days? Gotta be the Toggle. I discovered a loose Rapira Platinum Lux blade in my cabinet while getting the razor so decided that would work fine. For the brush tonight, it's the JR54. Great looking and great synthetic knot. Whipped Arko into a frenzied lather. Toggle on 9, of course, and the Rapira PL was as smooth as silk. Three great passes and the baby is in the house and the alum was quiet. Just a slight touch of the Veg again because my wife thinks it's sexy. Yep, she's got good taste. Both in after shaves AND in men.

My other day off is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. This working a whole day in between days off....kind of wears you out fast! Have a great Wednesday!!

awesome ..
