    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.

    How did the "Arko vs. Williams" survey end up?

    Sorry to hear you are under the weather, Maestro. If you were plugged up, at least you avoided smelling the soap for a day…:cool:

    I hope you continue to feel better, Joseph. You'd be well advised to follow Dr. Mrs. Primo's instructions. :)

    What is the final verdict on the Cobra? Is it a keeper?

    I completed Arko shave # 13 last night with near-BBS results. I hope I can finish this stick sometime in 2023. :D

    I'll use the Gillette Travel Tech a few more times (have a few GSB blades to 3017) and then deploy my Mongoose SE which uses Feather AC blades.

    As enlightened users of Arko, it seems like we need a special name. :signs002:

    Here's a story for you that hopefully will enlighten you as you proceed through your flu(and I'm sorry you have it, by the way). At about the 4th day of my last flu(when I had very little energy to do anything except lie in bed and sip water and casually bite some crackers), my Mom called me and said maybe it's time to take a shower and shave, I might feel better. I did both, and I DID feel better :).(Course not 100%, but it put me in that direction).

    That was good advice your mother gave you, Paul. I just showered and shaved and do, indeed feel much better. Thank you for the well-wishes.

    That is a good question.

    The Good:
    Gorgeous Design and Craftsmanship
    Takes Feather AC Blades
    Decent Re-Sale Value

    The Bad:
    Ergonomically difficult, outside of a WTG/Top to Bottom stroke
    Extremely Slippery (Alum Required)
    Some blade chatter or, what I call "skipping". They ALWAYS leave marks.

    Fresh Gem on some...dare I admit saying...damn fine lather, really performed well.
    One red mark on the ATG neck-pass, but forgettable.
    Had to pair the Simpson M7 with my YSL M7
    One of the sweetest stanks I own.
