Congrats. I know Mark likes his Aluminum General. I think we are both in for a treat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think it is at least equally aggressive, if not more - meaning it shaves really close. However, it is smoother than an early type or other E2s.
I decided to make the plunge and buy a stick of Arko - we'll see. While I was at it I also bought Proraso Green. I have the Red and like it - thought I would go for the green as well. Also I bought my first Reef Point Soap - classic barbershop scent. They should be here by the end of the week.
That Grandstaff Spicy Vetiver is a great peppery scent. I don't think you would be disappointed with the performance at all, a quality product for sure.
You know it's bad when you happy to get an UGLY brush, but I see history and potential ... One vintage Old Spice shaving mug and what I believe is an early Hardright Lime Beater shaving brush. It's going to get a serious amount of TLC before you see it again, but if all goes well it will be better than new (I like a challenge). May get a Tuxedo or a Cashmere knot. I've been looking for a Lime Beater for a while.
These are from zyshaving and I've gotten some from them before. These three are pure badger knots, which besides boar knots, many vintage brushes seem to have pure badgers for their brushes, and they are 18mm. Many vintage brushes I've seen use 16mm, but if possible, I'll just enlarge the hole for these knots. I also use virginiasheng and iantang19821024, depending on who has what I need at the best price.
