October Soap/Cream Themes

Awesome shave gents! And Chad @Cvargo that is an excellent idea! I'll get a shave in later today. The wife and I are out the door in a few minutes. She is getting an MRI on her shoulder. Looks like she is going to get surgery!

We are going to the Miranda Lambert concert tonight so I will get my shave in before that!

Thanks guys for keeping it going! There has been a lot going on at home and to top it off I caught a cold as well. I'll try to jump back in soon.
 
Using CBL's new soap for just a single shave this morning has me Free Falling in love. Compared to the past few months, this is wonderful stuff! Heck, it's great stuff irrespective of what it is compared to.

Feeling like I'm all alone here. I need @Brew over here blocking my win....................Kicking off Drugstore Shave Week

Monday October 14, 2019
2019 Shave # 289 ( 342 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5
Blade: Wizamet (7)
Brush: Razorock 400
Soap: Arko Stick
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Aqua Velva

Kicking off Drugstore Soap Theme today with Arko. I actually don't remember if I ever used Arko before. I may have in the early years but don't think I did. So, my feelings on it. At first I was getting a light lemony scent. As I lathered my mind wandered to what people complain about it, oh yeah that it smells like a urinal puck and I could then get a nasty feeling about it. As I forced myself not to envision a urinal I was back to the light lemon scent. My conclusion is you will get what you focus on when shaving. I got a airier lather than I like but a decent lather and plenty of slickness. Even residual slickness surprised me. Nice smooth shave for me today. Will I reach regularly for it...........nah. But the stick would be a good candidate for travel shaves. Have a great day Cadre !!
