I’ve gotta be in the mood for it but it’s good stuff regardless.
- Classic:- It's no wonder the Arko Shave Soap is one of the biggest selling shave soaps worldwide, punching above it's weight at a very low price point, producing a wonderfully rich, creamy lather that protects and prevents drag.
- Traditional scent:- clean, fresh and lemony, brings you right back into a traditional barber shop.
@pjgh that Imperial Leather looks wonderful. Old tallow British soap with the genuine Imperial Leather scent? Marvellous.
Paul you could of had my cats wizz bottled for free...Bagged a fresh bottle of Pashana - there has been an ownership change in the last year or two but the juice is very much the same. Glass bottle still, which is nice (same bottle as modern Hai Karate, I noticed) but the nice top has been replaced by a plastic one. Luckily I'd not chucked my last nice bottle and so I have a spare top.

some soap from the BST (thanks so much, @CunningMrFox) and a tech from eBay.
I could see the scent of stirling gentleman being divisive but I really like it, thankfully. my wife also approved and said it reminds her of her grandfather which seems to be exactly what they were going for.
like old wood and leather and tobacco but also a nice powdery, classic, gentlemanly scent. it doesn't smell of sandalwood but has that kind of classic vibe to it with the vanilla, amber and musk.
the pictures on the eBay listing of the razor weren't great so I wasn't sure what the condition would be like but I'd say it's well worth the £9 delivered. the base plate is aluminium and has a little bit of tarnish but the handle is perfect.

it came with the plastic box and some slightly rusty blades which was interesting to me.

I think it could be 1950s or 1960s based on the box and logo looking similar to this one?

I have a little trio of techs now. I've been shaving with the 40s handled one for the last three weeks while travelling and getting great shaves so really looking forward to giving this new one a try tomorrow.

Never had an aluminum one, but with a brass cap I think it would be fine.The aluminium ball end Tech seems to be an ugly duckling amongst Tech fans, not many seem to like it, with the all brass ball end Tech and the flat bottom Tech both seem to get a lot more love. I might be alone but I think the aluminium ball end Tech is just a fine razor in the shave. I think with the brass top plate and aluminium baseplate it performs a little differently in the shave. I really like both of mine.

You're welcome Chris, thank you for continuous supportMy new Highlander Marine AFC brush. My true first love team.
This time with a 26mm Silksmoke knot. I have wanted another one of these knots as the same as on the Wee Whiskey Barrel which I have always loved. Pearlescent white with sparkly bits in it and a plain black collar. Thank you so much @gile
