This was actually a night shave on behalf for Thu shave just before boarding a bus for an island work trip. Essentially a 2nd shave for the day.
Arko is real easy to use. Fast & effective lather.
Using same razor but paired with another blade and way more smoother and comfortable passes. Went for 3 multiple passes and no issues except very close result. BBS glass like feel.
Post & aftershave was great.
Rating 9.8/10!

Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade lavender eucalyptus, +Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./Duru ~ Lemon Cologne.


Creightons ~ Sensitive PSB.


Greetings,


A near Turkish themed shave to finish my shaving week off.

The Tiger Platinum blade has performed wonderfully throughout the week showing no signs of tugging or dulling with each shave.

Another smooth forgiving mid-aggression blade that i will add to my blade rotation in future shaves.

The Yaqi 'DOC' razor head on first appearance looks extremely aggressive, but looks are very deceiving sometimes it's mild, non-aggressive yet efficient.

However, as with any razor either aggressive or non-aggressive if not treated with respect or applying bad shaving technique it'll bite you for sure.

Another pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

PreShave: Warm to hot water, most from the boiled kettle some from the tap
Cream: Proraso Green (Menthol and Eucalyptus)

Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled T&H cream bowl
Razor: Futur
Blade Astra Platinum (6)
Post Shave: Alum

Fragrance: none—work day

Three passes, with the Futur at 4,3,2—made for a smooth shave. I was using it at the 5/6 end, thinking (that's) the best way for a shave. Dialling down also gives a great and smooth shave, so I'll continue my non-scientific testing.

RR Syn.22mm
Arko Stick -grated
Occams- Hiram /No2 plate
Kai Pink [ 6 ]
Tuff Red A/S Lotion

Just completed my 7th consecutive Shave with the Hiram, now I have it on a No2 plate.It is proving to be an excellent Daily Shaver, and I encounter no problems getting good quality Shavers. For me it delivers far better shaves than the King Cobra which it replaced. Now I need to use it with other slightly more aggressive blades

Brush - Zenith Euro X
Soap - Palmolive Stick
Razor - Souplex Bakelite
Blade - Gillette Nacet (1)
Post - Witch Hazel
Splash - Superdrug Forest Fresh

The new Nacet was so much smoother and enjoyable to use than yesterday's 7 Yellow, so smooth it didn't feel like there was a blade in the razor at times. I'd not used Palmolive Stick for a while and I forgot how great a lather it produces; I also find few combinations in shaving bring work as well for my face as a scrubby boar brush and a shaving stick.

A really great, smooth and comfortable shave today, little to no irritation at the end of the shave.

Have a good day chaps.
