Greetings,

Since i've started to add my humble shave sticks to my shave set ups more regularly i've been having some excellent shaves.


After the sublime shave that i had recently with the w.s shave stick,today i've used the Arko stick like it's turkish cousin which for me are on equal par with one another just a slightly different traditional turkish fragrance, ok both don't get high marks for scent quality, but the slickness & performance from both sticks is
outstanding.

once you've shaved the scent disappears anyway, leaving a nice post shave feeling, i'm one of the lucky wet shavers who doesn't have sensitive skin and haven't had any irritation problems from the soaps creams ,& de blades that i shave with.

The E.J. DE 89 kelvin/ bolzano superinox blade 'on it's eighth shave' was a great duo,mowing through my stubble with smooth efficiency,ending with a comfortable 3 pass + pick ups DFS with no errors to report.


Finishing the shave off with some generous splash of Arko ~ Comfort Aftershave Balm.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.
