this is after I'd finished, and thought I'd photo for SOTD so shows how long the lather lasts

I'd pif'd Ken T M a couple of Gem SE blades and slices of Arko, and having a couple of Arko slivers, after packing, used them up in my “soup” bowl. I don't have the wrapper as I sent it down with the blades but you know the one, wrapped in silver foil, red wrapper with a lathered head in blue oval
Amazon link Washed face with Mysore Sandal Soap soap linky Not from here but from our local (next town) Indian supermarket at £1, where I noticed the Arko soap, also at £1 so gave it a go, super creamy lather, shaved down re-lathered shaved up, hot flannelled face, 5 or 6 drops of my oil mix, oil rubbed into fingers rubbed onto face, 25ml Sweet Almond oil, 25ml Jojoba oil, 25ml Grape seed oil with x2 drops Sandalwood, Cederwood, Ylang Ylang and x10 drops of Vetiver. Mixed and stored in glass bottle decanted into small squeeze plastic bottle to use.

shaved diagonal holding face taught, wiped face with cotton ball soaked in Witch Hazel, rubbed face with Alum block, wiped with flannel, rubbed 5 or 6 drops of oil mix onto fingers then onto face, applied Aftershave which is 5ml. of Taylors Sandal Wood decanted into a small glass bottle plus 5 drops of Vetiver essential oil. Verdict WOW ! took the top layer of skin cells off ! any more and my head would end up pointed. The Bear cleaned the blood off the mirror, sink and walls I went for a lie down !
just thought I'd share --- cheers all Danny
