SOTD 26/06/18

Prep: warm shower
Razor: Merkur 42C
Blade: Boots DE 3rd use
Brush: Vintage boar
Cream: Erasmic shave stick
Post: warm water, cold water, Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel, Nivea Men Creme, Aqua Selvia EDC



I had a good shave with the Erasmic but was disappointed as the lather dissipated quite a bit. Not sure how to correct next time - maybe less water in the brush when I face lather.
 
The Erasmic stick has had a couple of reformulations.....it's not the soap it used to be....and completely different from the bowl.
 
Tuesday's shave:

Razor - Parker 94r
Blade - Voskhod
Brush - Vulfix 404
Cream - Arko Fresh
Balm - Arko Fresh

After a long hot day at work; went for a cooling Arko Fresh shave. For what it costs, I find it to perform extremely well. The little cooling sensation is just what was needed. Big love for the 94r too. A cheap as chips shave.
 
Thanks for your reply. Is the soap in the bowl better than the stick?
It's glycerine based.....and in my opinion works well. They did have an experiment a few years back and released the bowl soap in stick format. They called it Erasmic Supreme. Sadly it was taken off the market. It was much more expensive than the standard stick as it came in a wind up dispenser....similar to deodorant sticks. I revisited the Erasmic stick last year. I kept the base and threw it out after 1 shave.
