Turkish Shave! Also on Thursday!

Parker 87r razor
Gillette Silver Blue blade
FS Silver Tip brush
"More for You" Shave Soap
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Citrus Musk cologne

Another nice shave from the 87r. This is the 3td different blade used and the razor seems to do well regardless which one I've used. Gives a nice, smooth, comfortable and very effective shave. I like it! And I really enjoy the "More for You" shave soap. Easy to lather and that lather is very protective and slick. Nice stuff for sure. My face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Daxton A/S

Day 5 with the 87r and it was another nice comfortable shave. My face is happy. Love the Fume Shave Soap, easy to lather and that lather is great. To bad it's out of production. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

I actually like mine. As I mentioned in a video it is not as dense as most. Works really good though.

 

Just finished shaving with Arko stick and used a Turkish lemon cologne for aftershave.

Got a solid shave. But I'll see how it turns out. I've had some dry itchy skin and burn reactions when I shave with Arko.

I believe the Pear's facial soap I used in the shower before I shaved with Arko is what was causing this reaction. Not sure what the caused the dry itchy neck last time.

Finished this shave off with a little more Gillette aftershave gel than I normally use. To keep my skin moisturized.

Hopefully this combo will work as I have 5 more sticks to use at the house. Plus I can post more on this thread.

 

Star 1912 style razor
Gem Stainless blade
FS Silver Tip brush
Arko Hydrate SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Daxton A/S

Going to finish the week with Turkish products, so here goes. Another really nice shave from the Star/Gem combo. This SE works great for me. Thru a mess up with Amazon, I have 6 tubes of the Arko Hydrate SC so I reckon I'd better get started. It will take a really long time to use those up. But I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Fine "Marvel" razor
Silver Star blade
WD Silver Tip Brush
Arko SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Barbasol Brisk A/S w/added menthol

The "Marvel" razor is just that, a marvel! I get great, comfortable shaves with it every time. Little concerned with Arko though, seems to be very drying no matter how much water used. And going to finish the week with Turkish soaps/creams. Liking these products more and more. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Had an Arko Cool shave;

Well, changed the name of the thread to "Turkish Shave. Also on Thursday". I didn't want people thinking they couldn't post unless it was Thursday. I'll try to keep it on Thursday myself, but you never know. So much product, so many days in the week.

• Brush: Turkish Star
• Cream: Derby Normal
• Razor: Turkish YUMA
• A/S: Turkish Kolonya
• Blade: Rapura SS

I got this all on holiday in Turkey a few years ago (cost about $5). And it was, and continues to be a revelation to use. Sure, the stuff is cheap as chips and doesnt look much, but wow, its always an utter joy to use. The Derby cream smells great and is every bit as godd, if not better, than any other i have. The brush is great as well. The razor is a mystery to me as to why it works so well for me. I could shave for days with it. No irritation today. No A/S burn. Just a lovely BBSish shave thiz morning.

Great stuff.

 

Thre Duru is criminally underrated.
