Soap: Arko

In locations where the water quality can be an unknown quantity, I have found no soap more bulletproof than Arko.

Soap • Noble Otter Thé Noir et Vanille
Brush • Yaqi Moka Express 24mm Synthetic
Razor • Razorock Hawk V3
Blade • Feather Pro (8)
Post • Noble Otter Thé Noir et Vanille A/S

This soap really is a pleasure to use. I get mostly black tea, but no vanilla as I know it.
It yields superb lather almost effortlessly, and provides excellent glide, protection and slickness.
The matching aftershave suits my skin well.
I find that Noble Otter splashes need a quick shake to mix the ingredients for best results.

No photo again, but if you have a spare 20 minutes, I give you Spacetruckin' from Made In Japan (Osaka 1972) . . . . .

View attachment 96410First shave for me for 4 days i think lol
and a wonderful shave at that.
First time virgin on the Parker which was a pif win from paul @Blademonkey in collaboration with @Boycie83 :). Thanks Lads
just having a read through @Boycie83 posts i decided to stay on setting 3, which was comfortable & easy,
i reckon it’s one of these razors suited to beginners & experienced alike depending on settings used.
The Razor is very efficient and paired with the london Bridge it was a proper 3 pass bbs.
i can’t fault it at all but if i was to pick one downside it’s a tad heavy although not an issue in the slightest.
I have no ideas why i went for this soap today but i’m glad i did, the residual slickness on mammoth soaps is pretty much second to none,
i really need ot get some more.
Also decided to go with the Spice Bomb just so my wife would think it was her birthday again ;)
Over all a lovely 9/10 shave and i enjoyed every minute.

Prep: Face wash with Simple face wash
Pre: None
Razor: Rockwell 6S (5)
Blade: Gillette Nacet (2)
Brush: Alpha Outlaw
S Soap: PAA - Garden of Bali
Post: PAA - Garden of Bali AS

With a dominant floral bouquet some may say this is not a masculine scent. I disagree entirely. It's not just about the leather, tabacco or musk. Sometimes a scent can portray a complex mixture of intertwining muliebrity and virility.
Is this me?....nah, just a bloke who caught a great BST deal (thanks again @LeeMaz) for a PAA soap/combo. Amazing shave! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Alpha Classic G4 28mm
L’ Occitane Cade soap
Schick J3 - Golden Hydromagic
NOS Schick Super Platinum- Holland ( 6 )
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

A lovely Shave with what I liken to a magic wand, especially with this Dutch blade onboard. Probably my favourite long handled Injector confined to use of a single blade.
