Day 24 I missed yesterday's shave and just got around to shaving this evening. You can barely make out the pattern under the soap: I have decided, that should anyone company produce a lather bowl in this oval shape, I would purchase it, immediately. Its geometry is far more condusive to paint stroke lathering, than the traditional round bowl. The Feather made me work to get a good shave. I have grown accustomed to open blade and healthy, blade exposure, but the AS-D2 demands constant adjustment to the angle. The downward, WTG first pass, I can ride the safety bar. Second pass, XTG ear-mouth, I have to ride the cap. It's a reminder, that not all razors shave alike.
Y'know, if I ever got around to using a bowl, I'd pick the one on the right. Going "back and forth" might be a pleasant change from "round and round".
It does look nice(the Kent brush). Meanwhile, a Kent comb has found its way into my hair since I bought it a few years ago from the Pinaud Clubman website.
I remember your ‘household cleaner’ comparisons for sure! It has been an easy month for me. Arko (or Clubman or Tabac) would not have been for me. Thank goodness Charlie @wristwatchb has no willpower or I would’ve had to shave a full pucks worth of Tabac a few years ago…
good morning gents arko/tech/bolzano work shave.really like these bolzano blades. awesome. have a fine friday everyone.
Friday, December 16 Day 25 Arko~~Simpson CH3~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed/Voskhod~~Florida Water 25 shaves in row with Arko...whoda thunk??? My favorite CH3. I have had a whole slew, but this baby is the best. Fresh Voskhod in the '47 SS and that was that. Nice 'n smooth. Finished with a few spritzes of the un-pictured Duc de Vervins
Saturday, December 17 Day 26 Arko~~Simpson 57 "The Douglas"~~Gillette New LC/Voskhod~~Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua One less shave remaining from this Arko. End is in sight. I am not loving these Voskhod blades. They are not sharp enough. (Is that possible?) Good shave, good stank. Have a great weekend.
Today I've started the killing mode of this lovely combo. https://theshaveden.com/forums/posts/2062041/
Y'know, I looked just like that boy when I was young. Course I don't recall DOING what the kid is doing here.
Sunday, December 18 Day 27 Arko~~Simpson D3~~RR Game Changer/Spoiler~~Tabac Now, we're making progress. And as far as ingesting Arko, I don't (anymore) and highly discourage anyone from attempting such a feat.
