    Great shave with the toggle, but i had originally used a vohkod and the shave was rough which is weird because the blade only had a couple of uses. I ended up using a 7oclock black.

    Greetings,

    Early Morning Shave,

    An excellent Turkish themed shave to finish my shave week off wonderfully.

    Love or hate them, the lather that these two classic shave stick's create is absolutely fantastic..

    Last use of the Derby premium.... My reacquaintance with the Derby premium throughout the week has been a pleasant surprise....The franken-razor/derby premium blade duo performance was superb.
    A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Arko Comfort ASB.

    My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

  15. Thursday morning:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Shark day 9
    Gada Cool Mint SC
    Intesa ASB
    Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

    This Gada Cool Mint is perhaps the cheapest cream I ever had in my life and it’s so good. I’ve sent it to friends of mine literally all over the world and they all tell me how wonderful it is. It’s from Lebanon and it has a very nice minty/lemony scent, just a small dab on both cheeks is enough for thick, rich, slick lather, there’s a really pleasant menthol effect, and the skincare is so soothing because it contains chamomile as well as other good ingredients such as vaseline. The Intesa balm from Italy smells nice, it’s got a really soothing and cooling feeling also, while the Alt Innsbruck aftershave is icy cold and I love the scent so much. Two passes were enough for a very close, comfortable shave that I enjoyed so much!

    Have a good day - be well and safe!

    Thursday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    ARKO Extra Performance
    Jayaruh #398
    Ever-Ready Peerless
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman AS

    The ARKO Extra Performance Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #398 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Peerless Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Ikon B1 Standard head.
    Yaqi handle.
    Feather blade (3).
    Yaqi silvertip brush.
    Stirling Noir shave soap and splash.
    Timeless shave bowl.

    Three nice passes with the Standard head this morning. The Standard is definitely more aggressive than the OSS head. It has a good amount of blade feel but it does not feel like it will bite at anytime. It is a keeper but I need to dial it in a little more.....very efficient and smooth.

    Take care everyone!
