  1. My Fatip Grande is my #1. The right balance of smoothness and efficiency.

  2. It's incredible to think how little a proper shaving set up will set you back!

    @Droo78
    That is an old fiber.
    Great as "synth boar".
    If you like Proraso boar, this is the easy way.
    And, in Italy this is absolutely cheap ... specially in some days.
    In addition, this one has IMHO very nice colors. Good for SOTDs.

    One o more of this tips can be a good point to start with.
    If not, there're plenty other newer options.

    Good afternoon guys!

    Schick E3 Injector Razor
    Schick Injector Blade (4?)
    Mr. EE Tuxedo Brush
    Arko Shave Soap
    Old Spice P/G Aftershave
    Whiskers: 21 hrs

    I really didn't need to shave until late evening r tomorrow morning, but I wanted to try the notorious Arko shaving soap. As I stated yesterday, the scent off the puck was not offensive to me so I knew that I was going to at least get through the shave without any problems. I wetted my face with the awesome Mr. EE synthetic brush and then started to load the soap. As soon as that brush hit the soap, lather was forming. I decided to take the loaded brush to bowl lather and see how this lather reacts. Man oh man, this is another lather monster. It is thick, slick and creamy. See the pic below. I had enough lather for 3 passes and then some. Lathered my face and did a 2 pass shave without any pickups for a BBS - shave. I feel badly for you gents that tried this product and coudn't get passed the scent. Arko is an excellent soap. Applied a liberal amount of the Old Spice and I am a happy camper. I was going to use the Veg, but I decided to hold off and do the Arko/Veg combo another day. Have a great afternoon guys! 20201129_135533.jpg 20201129_140202.jpg

  15. Thank you Andrew....it's odd how my first pass doesn't bring out much dry soap, yet it gets drier as I continue.
