I love how convenient it is. This past weekend, I was away from home for drill with the National Guard. I didn't want to haul around my entire den, so I just brought a razor, my Semogue 1305, a sample of Arko Sensitive, an alum block, a couple blades, and Proraso Pre/Post cream. I've found that putting a dab of Arko on each cheek and under my chin works magically for me. I've also found that using a damp brush is also best for me too. If you love face lathering, let's talk about it here and share techniques and whatnot. 1...2...3... GO!
