Plisson Synthetic
Arko (face lathered)
'60 Gillette Fat Boy (6, 5, 5) w/Gillette 7 O'clock SP (3)
Cold rinse, witch hazel, styptic, Nivea Men Sensitive Cooling Post Shave Balm, TSD AS Milk - Old Spice Type

Wow! Arko face lathers MUCH better than it bowl lathers! However, like the MWF yesterday, the Arko provided no "lift" to my whiskers, and very little protection for my skin.

 

Ooo, a toggle! Special shave today?

great shave today. nana June's just gets better and better, wonder if it's the lid? keeping it moist and ready for action. the red cedar is soooo comfortable, and that huge knot. almost a guilty pleasure. three passes with the slim, great results. finished with iced bay rum.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

Glad it's Friday and I got a nice shave. Long week's happen

 

What an enjoyable shave I had. The Glacial Lavender soap isn't my favourite for nothing. That scent is so lovely and in spite of the menthol being so strong, the lavender is still very much there. The face-freezing part begins immediately and becomes more powerful as the shave goes on. The Sharp blade still seems to be holding up, so I'll keep using it.

 

I had a very nice and smooth shave today. 3 passes and I feel great.

Have to go to a conference so thought since have to look and smell good should bring out the big guns. Also to keep up the vintage Gillette razor theme this week.
