Thanksgiving Day, 2022 Day 7 Arko~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic~~Cobra Classic/Feather Professional~~Sailor Jerry Spiced Navy After Shave While I can't say that the Arko is getting better with use, I can mos def© attest to the fact that my technique with the Cobra has much improved. Today's neck work was darn good, sans skipping and irritation. The handle, as I have stated, is beautiful to gaze upon, but wasn't thoroughly tested by the manufacturer, vis-a-vis slipperiness. I am reminded of my Wolfman with its Darwin handle. It's that slippery. Happy Thanksgiving to all of my TSD brethren.
Thanksgiving Still using the same gear, I completed Arko shave # 5 today. It was another two-passer with excellent results. I'm shaving about every other day, and that seems to work well. I face lather using the Arko as a shave stick. I think it will last forever. My Bride and I are celebrating Thanksgiving today at a State Park. The weather is beautiful, so we look forward to our outing. 2022 has been a good year, and we are thankful for much. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, Joseph. That's is a beautiful setup and a wonderful shave! Try placing an o-ring or wrapping a rubber band around the base of the Cobra handle to improve the grip. I have a Trac II handle that uses three o-rings. Works great.

Friday, November 25 Day 8 Arko~~Simpson~~Cobra Classic/Feather Professional~~Jerry Juice~~Vintage Aramis Havana The Arko has an amazing ability to renew itself over-night. My arm was tired after loading the soap: After the first pass: Dat's a lot o' suds!
Saturday, November 26 Arko~~Simpson~~Cobra Classic~~Jerry Juice Day 9 There's not a lot to add except the admiration I have for shavers who use the same gear daily. I am lathering like there is no tomorrow. Doesn't seem to be helping...
‘3017’ Day 11 No end in sight, but very enjoyable so far. A great scent and a slick lather. It has become harder than a few of my soaps, fwiw.

In honor of you weirdos using Arko, I paused my use of Institut Karite Soap for a day and broke out the stick. Nice Shave 2 pass shave taking care of 5 days growth. RR Hawk V3A Schick Proline Semogue 26mm BC Mistura Arko Stick Alum Block Superior 70 Bay Rum
November 27 Arko Shave # 6 Gillette New SC Gillette Silver Blue DE blade (2) 30 Day Crew LE Poculi handle w/28 mm APShaveCo SynBad flat top knot Arko Vanicream Two passes with this world class setup easily clobbered three days of growth, resulting in a comfortable, near BBS mug. I skipped the post shave foo-foo regimen as we were late for church. Arko is a top-performing soap, and I'm quite happy with it. This stick should last for well over 100 shaves. I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
menthol monday brit rocket/kcg soc arko rr lime mentholated good morning gents. fabulous arko work shave smooth 2 passer with the rocket/kcg combo cold water rinse,extremely cold splash of heavily mentholated rr lime. awesome have a fine day everyone.
Monday, November 28 Day 11 Arko~~Simpson CH2~~Cobra Classic/Feather Professional Super~~Jerry Juice~~Tom Ford Tuscan Leather OK, I have come to the conclusion, that, while Arko creates a solid lather, it's not slick enough to protect my neck on the ATG pass. Admittedly, I have a sensitive neck---HOWEVER, I have been successful with my 2011 R41 on this pass, ergo--- it's the soap's fault. Picked up this TF gem for a very good price on basenotes and I couldn't be happier. Wonderful stank.
