Pre: Face wash/hot towel
Soap: Arko stick (remoulded)
Brush: PantaRei synth
Razor: Parker 99R
Blade: Sputnik
Post: Witch Hazel/Fine American Blend

First time using Arko. So much silky lather and not put off by the scent like some people are!
Managed to nick myself once more with the Parker; it happens nearly every time. Quite heavy and quite aggressive.
Still adore this brush!!!

OMG the Schick is wonderful! I was a little concerned at first as the head appears a little loose, with a gap at one end:

What do you think @Fergiebilly?

Anyway the shave as astounding! Aggressive little chap and the stubble was no match- one pass was DFS, but as it was its first run out it got 3 passes, very little AS sting and a DSS!! Superb!

Well..Its not right that's for sure..That said the blade looks seated in the stops..Someones obviously tampered with it at some point..Probably to get a blade out..The neck looks bent as well..You can sometimes get away with a slightly loose head..As long as you feel it is shaving well..:)

I love citrus soaps so the Citra Royale soap was an obvious choice as my 1st Phoenix and Beau soap. The scent is sublime with a cross section of citrus scents, predominately lime. The cedar wood comes through when the citrus top notes start to fade. The soap is so easy to lather and has 1st rate performance with amazing slickness. It would make a great summer soap.
The Duru cologne complimented the shave perfectly.

Three Pass Shaving Routine...:cool:

Hot Water prep & massage with Argan Oil
Gold Dollar 208
Hans Baier Silver Tip Badger
RazoRock Chicago Tallow Soap
Thayers Original Witch Hazel

I got this Shave Ready Gold Dollar 208 a couple of weeks ago..I had my First Shave with it Today..I ended up with a Mixed BBS/DFS Result..Its the first time that I have used a Stainless Steel Blade Straight..It sure feels different to my Swedish Made Carbon Steel straights..The blade in the Gold Dollar is very rigid compared to my Carbon Steel Straights & I found it far more Forgiving..I like it a Lot..More than I can say for this Crappy & Cruddy RazoRock so called Tallow Soap.. Its a Pure Numpties Soap..:D:p:D
