Hello everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Arko and its unique scent and excellent lather built with the Simson "Chubby" 2 Super Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Fatboy and I finished with Skin Bracer "Cool Spice" aftershave splash and vintage Avon "Brisk Spice" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Shave of the Week Starting 7/29/2024

Weber DLC razor
Gillette 7 O'clock blade
Dr. Selby SC (it's a soap)
No Name Synthetic brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Right dandy shave to start the week. The Weber/Gillette combo is super smooth and effective. The Dr. Selby has nice scent/lathers easily and well and I just like it. The No Name brush is a really nice one, feels good in hand and works well indeed. So, all in all, a great way to get the week started. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
