Today I fancied a little of touch of Arko, so here's how it went.
Prep: Hot shower with Dova Face and Body wash.
Pre-Shave: King of Shaves Menthol Shave Oil
Brush: Omega Pure Bristle
Razor: EJ DE89
Blade: Feather (3) I felt quite a bit more tugging today than yesterday, so I've ditched this one now. Astra's up next.
Cream/AS: Arko Soap Stick. I'd forgotten how well this stuff lathers. Bouncy, slick and reminded my why I started DE shaving to begin with.
After Shave: Today I went for some Gillette Arctic Ice ASB I had sitting around and a little dash of Wilkinsons Sword Hydro ASB after a little rub from the Alum Block. Cool, clean and sharp.
Result: I went a little more forcefully than I normally would today as the little hairs I'm missing are causing some real itching and irritation underneath my chin and around my neck-line. 3 passes with a touch-up around the neck/chin. Stung for quite a while afterwards with some itchiness but petered out by midday. Think it might be my collar doing most of the irritating.
I've ordered some of Prof's ASB as I've heard glowing reviews. Hopefully it'll be here by tomorrow and I'll post some results to see if it helps with the irritation.
