    1 ½ days ~ due to circumstances this was a late morning shave
    Soap = Proraso green
    Brush = Omega 49
    Bowl = Timeless
    Razor = Merkur 37C
    Blade = Feather (2)
    Three passes plus touch ups. Temporary weeper left angle of mouth, too many distractions, I was a bit hurried I must admit
    Post = usual post clean-up, Brut ASL and Proraso AS balm
    Scent = None: Staying home today

    Feather (2) felt competent
    I used only half a scoop of Proraso green croap so did not get the croap/water balance right the first time, a bit runny, added some more, rescued the lather
    Not the best shave, I rate this around 7/10, can do better next time
    Have a great Friday Ladies and Gents

  14. July 14 SOTA

    Good afternoon.

    1959 Gillette Fatboy (setting 6)
    Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (7)
    Rockwell Synthetic Brush
    Arko SS
    Fine Accoutrements Platinum AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Beard Growth: 1 day

    I was going to use my Cryogen soap because it's still hot, but went with Arko instead. It looks as though Arko will be Fitzgerald very soon. The same can be said with Cryogen. This is the last time that I will be using my Rockwell brush in fulfilling using the same shave item for a week. Tomorrow, I will decide what razor to use for the entire week.
    Anyway, getting back to my shave. Arko is just a great soap. It is super slick and so easy to lather. I used a little more soap that I needed, but that's OK because I am trying to use it up. Here's my lather:

    Did an error-free 3 passer for a very close shave. Alum feedback was slight. Applied the FA Platinum aftershave and there wasn't any stinging or burning
    sensation. Take care.
