Today's Shave:
Blue-Tip SS w/Red I.P. (day 5, I think)
Opal badger brush
Arko
Drakkar Noir aftershave lotion
First time using Arko, with great success! It lathered very well, has a pleasant scent, and left my face pleasantly smooth. I look forward to using this whilst traveling. 3 passes today, and no complaints! Enjoy your day, ladies and gentlemen.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson Chubby 1
Razor: C.V. Heljestrand MK32
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan
Soap/Cream: Cella
After shave: Old Spice Original
Results: Got a new Guangxi/C12K yesterday and decided to try it on the MK, gave it a few laps on the SS 8K to make sure I killed the Shapton 16K edge it had before taking it to the Guangxi. First ~50 strokes with slurry followed by ~50 water only. Happy to say it seems like I've been lucky and got a good one, the feel of the edge was at least as good as from the SS12 of SG 16K
Just a single pass multidirection shave (Still a pretty close shave) as I got a Thuri in the mail today that I think I will test tomorrow
