I planned to start August with a bang - an Actually Adjustable, Arko, Awesome Aftershave August setup: Arko, either my Parker Adjustable injector or my Gillette SuperAdjustable 105 (refurbished and cerakoted in red and black by the wonderful but now defunct Delta Echo Razors), and an Awesome Aftershave. However:
1. My allegedly-adjustable-but-actually-interchangeable Supply 2.0 still had a working blade in it and I didn't feel like starting a second blade in a different razor. I prefer keeping track of just one loaded blade at a time. So there went the true Adjustable....
2. My choice for the first Awesome Aftershave of August was the nicely mentholated Stirling Iced Pineapple -- for which I have the equally nicely mentholated matching soap. Bye bye Arko....
The result - the Actual Shave:
