You are one of the few people who appear to use that soap more than once.
I binned mine very quickly.

You've got a valued point there!..it is challenging at times, not that i'm tight-fisted or anything but i hate wasting things.it will however be put right at the back of my used soaps and creams,.without the added glycerin it would be pretty rubbish.. my grated down palmolive shave sticks will be used in future shaves .Regards.
 
Puig AB...I had forgotten about that fragrance. I'm sure I bought some in my late teens in Spain...pretty woodsy, from what I remember (long time ago)?
 
Massive fan of lucky tiger, done no end of good for my skin
And coincidently I use that wilkinson soap jar to store my arko.
Good stuff

Lucky Tiger was recommended to me by a friend of my.wonderful stuff, well worth having,and your right, does wonders for the skin..Wilkinson soap, is slightly trying sometimes..good use for the bowl with your Arko..I havent yet tried arko, will have to give it a try.Regards.
 

Obtained a Schick Injector G type during the week (thank you Rob @ Bobbyshaves). Fergiebilly will hopefully give a wee bit more detail. It is a G (U.S patent nos. 1806807, 1969945, I think; maybe a G8? It has the plastic handle)

Anyway...a bloody (not literally) close and comfy shave.

Cold water prep wash; Bulldog, Proraso.
Soap: The Fat (great stuff)
Brush: Semogue 1520 and face lather
Razor: as above
Blade: Schick Injector (the Chinese ones)
Post: alum, Thayer's Rose and Aloe Vera, Proraso Green a/s and Nivea white asb
Fragrance: Floris No.89 EDT.

A lot more aggressive than I was expecting. In a good way, though; it'll be interesting to see how it deals with 2-3 days growth. Maybe I should have waited (impatience); as there's a bit irritation. So practice and care required, me thinks. Smooth as hell, though; 3 passes and no touch ups. I love my DE razors, but this SE thang has me going. Between the Schick and the Ever Ready 1912, they make shaving even better.

Be well, everyone.
