    Brush: Semougue OC Boar

    Blade: Gillette silver blue
    Soap: Arko stick pressed in the old spice mug
    Post: Dickenson's witch hazel

    Arko and Aqua Velva seem to compliment each other real well. Always makes for a great shave, no matter what other gear I use with it.

    Sometimes I think basic is all I need.

    Actually got a DFS out of it. Which is good enough for me on a work day.

    This is basically a shave like my father has been doing, since I can remember. But I think I'm using a little better overall set up.

    His shave routine is a cartridge razor, Barbersol in the can and a splash of Skin Bracer.

    Nothing fancy

    In some ways I admire that he has never veered away from it. I guess I did a basic shave when I had my electric for 20+ years. But don't think I can do it now days, since I've discovered wet shaving and forums like this one.

    Thursday and I needed a shave. So did one of my favorite shave combos.

    Brush: Semougue OC Boar
    Razor: Merkur 34C HD
    Blade: Persona med prep
    Soap: Arko in the Old Spice mug
    Post: Dickensons menthol crystal spiked witch hazel.
    Aftershave: Aqua Velva ice blue
    Lotion: Gillette aftershave gel

    Turned out great

    From what I can tell the parent company, Norlag makes more baby and female products than they do men's. This particular kolonya was dirt cheap sitting next to the Tabac A/S, ASB, and EdC in a local grocery store here. The kolonya itself is a super sweet tobacco that is stronger smelling than most Turkish Kolonyas I have tried, but not Arko AS/EdC strong. It feels good on the head and does help cool you off during these hot months.
