    Have you ever noticed how sad the cream tubes are?
    If they are made of plastic, you go crazy squeezing the contents out of them, even if they maintain an immaculate appearance.
    If they are made of aluminum, they look scruffy, even if done carefully and not like when they are squeezed like women do: hold and press!
    I prefer creams in bowls even though, most of the time, they are in such quantities that they do not encourage rotation!

    It is a rub!

    Satisfactory shaving although I would not advise to choose a piece with a pace like the one chosen today that definitely does not drive a peaceful entry into the new day...

    It's far too rhythmic, too fast...
    I need something slow and enveloping to deal with a new day! :cool:

    Had some beautiful shaves over the last week, the first one wasn't particularly smooth, but the end result was excellent, switched out the lion DE for the second shave, and decided to keep using the aristocrat for at least the next month.

    I finally binned the derby extra after its 15th shave and replaced it with a fresh one.

    I also rotated my different shaving products, as good as Arko is, I've gotten a bit bored with using it day in and day out, so i used my Arko cream and then my credance by the grooming dept puck.

    This stuff is absolutely fantastic, especially good for winter because of the high tallow and duck fat content, very very moisturising, you barely need a moisturizer after using this stuff. Might even become my staple soap this winter.

    Shave 1:
    Brush: Omega 49
    Blade: derby extra (1)
    Razor: Lion DE
    Soap: Arko shave stick
    Aftershave Balm: prep

    Shave 2:
    Brush: Omega 49
    Blade: derby extra (2)
    Razor: 1948 barber pole aristocrat
    Soap: Arko shave stick
    Aftershave Balm: prep

    Shave 3:
    Brush: Wilkinson sword classic
    Blade: derby extra (3)
    Razor: 1948 barber pole aristocrat
    Cream: Arko cool
    Aftershave Balm: prep

    Shave 4:
    Brush: Wilkinson sword classic
    Blade: Derby extra (4)
    Razor: 1948 aristocrat
    Soap: grooming dept, credance
    Aftershave Balm: prep[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Friday:

    hot shower with Cremo Bourbon & Oak body wash
    Homemade PSO
    Parker Variant (3) 3+ passes
    Derby Extra SS (3)
    TSD Bourbon Vanilla lanolin soap
    EverReady 150 boar
    Thayers unscented WH
    Henri et Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars A/S

    I have the day off today so my shave was most leisurely.

    The Parker Variant is such a fine razor that even with a blade like the Derby Extra I can enjoy a good shave.

    Hope those of you in the United States enjoy your holiday weekend.
