another fine arko shave.smooth 2 passer with the new rfb 2 piece/platinum combo.brut to finish.top of the puck is smoothing out a bit..
Day 18 The Castle Forbes has held up well after 3 weeks of shaving. No worries about finishing this challenge. The end is in sight…under 10 shaves now, methinks.
I’m super stoked…the wood for Charlie and/or Joseph’s bowls finally came in. Looks even better than I thought:
Monday, December 5 Day 17 Arko~~Rubberset 400/3~~Kampfe Bros. Star/Gem~~Jerry Juice~~Vintage Balenciaga Pour Homme The Rubberset was happy to have been chosen. It's been a while... The handle's so super cool and the Omega knot takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. The Gem blade is a noisy thang---especially when it echoes around in the Star. DFS on the neck and finished with what I have read in the past, is the very first men's scent, released in the west, with Oud. Vintage Balenciaga.
I'm excited, Jason! I've never seen an Ebony pallet before! I hope the price of gasoline eases up a bit before you turn our bowls.

Lather: Arko Razor: Weck Sextoblade Blade: Personna hair shaper Brush: ProPro boar Post: BDLM3 aftershave I love Wecks, but I have the military version with heavy metal scales. Tweaks the balance more than I prefer, and Personna HSBs are my least favorite blades for it, but I still can't find Kismet blades in the US. Arko worked perfectly well, only requiring me to use a balmy type post, as usual.
You say you "still" think towels are the leading cause of dry skin. When did you BEGIN this train of thought?(chuk yuk yuk yuk).
Wednesday, December 7 Day 18 Arko~~Simpson M7~~Friodur 472~~Sailor Jerry (not pictured)~~Montale Leather Patchouli Missed yesterday's shave, having come down with what appears to be influenza. On there bright side, I scored this beautiful M7, one of my favorite handles and this one has a very nice Manchurian knot. Arko shows some serious usage, but we're not finished yet. The 472 is a classic and always gives a superior shave. Montale to finish.
I learned this later in life, Paul. We don't bathe often here in the backwoods. And if we do, most of the time we just hop out of the pond and air dry.
Y'know, if I bathed in a pond, the pond would be full of Clubman(or COULD be depending on my "rotation".).
Aaah, I'm not su sure, since one of the features of Clubman is OakMOSS. As for the fishies, they'd get used to it quickly.
