Arko Adjustable April

April 13


Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy(9)

Blade - (3)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Jayaruh #312
Post - Alum

Well, a few hours ago I was pretty sure you wouldn't hear from me tonight. Plans were to stay busy all night with work. Funny how things change. Talk about gremlins being about. I had issues with all three of the apps I need to run with, killed one to run the other two and found out I couldn't turn them off, went through the process of removing them and reinstalling them, only to find that the other two were now acting up.......yeah.....gremlins running wild in the Lou tonight. I finally gave up in order to let my IT department take a look at it. (After I finished looking at it I do believe it's fixed). Guess I need a hat with all the titles on it now...just flip it around based on what I'm doing. Anywho - with all of the delay and everything else I decided to call off the shift. I can do that. I'm the boss.

So......the shave that wasn't actually was! Third time on the Fatboy with Rapira Chrome along with Arko. The JR312 with the faux horse knot is just so awesome looking and great to use. Had no trouble with the Arko. Everything went well. Three passes, no issues......oh wait......gremlins again. I somehow got the angle off near my goatee on the right jawbone and left a little blood behind. Alum took care of it and I'm going to stay in a brightly lit room for the rest of the night. Gotta keep those gremlins at bay! Have a great night and a better Sunday!

Thanks Doug.

 

I want this shave soap, but it's not always available to buy it seems.

I dreamed a dream to assemble a vintage tribute set. The lucky ebay buys and vendor creations exceeded all expectations. I revel in this time traveling experience every time I use it.

 

lovely set up and pic sir, love the captains bowl..

 

SOTD:
Decided to shave today even though i did yesterday, just because i have church tonight, great shave though! Daves croap is like magic! Take a peanut sized amount out of the container with your finger, put it in the bowl and start lathering, and its like magic! Definitely a very very good soap, Dave you did an absolutely remarkable job. The feather is still holding up well, it never fails to impress.

Razor: gillette superspeed flare tip (US)
Blade: feather hi-stainless (17)
Soap: Dave's croap
Brush: dischem synthetic
Aftershave: status for men

SE Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap
Jayaruh #224 Synthetic
1907 Gem Jr.
Vintage Gem Cutlery SE
CWR
PSC Caffeinated AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Almalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #224 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher razor with a vintage Gem Cutlery SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
