    My last shave was on Silver Blue. I get good results with either Platinum or GSB.

  2. I shall introduce an idea....as you change the dial the "sweet spot angle" moves. Make sure you adjust as well. This could account for irritation!

  5. That may be taking Arko love a bit far. Or, maybe not.

  8. No hair so no tonic for me. Though I suppose I could just for scalp conditioning.
  9. Osage Rub on the scalp is nice. Only done it a few times though.
  10. Yeah, you don't wanna go nuts with Osage...

  12. It's ok. it's on the upper end in this case. No risk of further lower body damage.
  13. I did for a while(one of Clubman's brands)but decidedI liked the gel better

    Very good shave this afternoon. The Don Donato is so easy to build into a great lather even with my boar brush. DFS today.

  15. I'm sure everyone knows this, but you loosen the TTO before turning the dial to adjust the numbers. :happy088:
