    Razor: 5/8 Tiger Wedge, Hollow Point
    Pre-Shave Cream: Proraso Crema Pre Barba
    Shaving Cream: Speick
    Lather Bowl: Ceramic
    Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
    Brush: Medium Badger
    Astringent: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    ASB: Nivea Replenishing
    Aftershave/Cologne: British Sterling Cologne for Men
    Results: Very nice and pleasant!

    Used the Speick SC I just received for the first time and really like the scent and performance of this Cream. The scent is actually milder than I expected but it is very fresh and invigorating. The Tiger Wedge slid effortlessly over the ample cushion provided by the Speick SC and the finishing touch of the British Sterling Cologne is always my favorite. Top Drawer! :D

    Sunday Dome and Face Shave

    Hot Shower
    1966 Gillette Slim Adjustable (set @7)
    VDH Boar
    Arko shavestick
    Witch Hazel
    English Leather Cologne
    Murray's Superior Pomade

    Two passes on the dome, 3 on the face, a great and very comfortable shave. Only last night I read some noob on Amazon complaining that he couldn't lather Arko Shavestick. This morning's shave made that all the more mysterious. If you can't lather this stuff, you should probably shave with an electric (or not at all). I've heard all the standard complaints. I know the smell doesn't agree with some but failure to lather is a totally unfounded complaint. Sounds more like operator error than product maldesign.

    You shouldn't need extra pressure to get extra close. Have you tried different blades?

    So far, I just tried three different blades that worked more or less the same for me, but I ordered a variety pack which I'll be getting it tomorrow. I also have another theory about this problem, could it be that I am applying the lather too tick on my face? I wonder if this is a problem experienced by anybody at all.
