    10/6/2014 Open Comb October

    Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Valet Autostrop, French Fau Frame Back straight razor
    Blade: Modified GEM PTFE coated SE blade (5)
    Brush: Turkish #6
    Soap: Arko Men Ice Mint
    After: Home made ASB, Barbon after shave

    A good 2 pass Darn Fine Shave. The #6 whipped the Arko to a yogurt like consistency. The Arko whipped up so easily that I was almost scared to use it. But It worked perfectly. The Valet and the Frenchie did their work admirably. The Barbon brought the chill this morning.

    Have a blessed day!

    this sounds like it will serve as justification to buy and learn another razor...

    I'm trying to use products that haven't had much use, today is the B&M Unscented, what a nice soap! Having an abundance of soaps/creams sometimes isn't a good thing, I miss one or two from time to time. Another stellar shave from the iKon OC.
    Go out and get it!
