Bought this splash last fall but haven't ever gotten around to using it. Not bad.

Using Arko! as a stick rather then loading from a bowl really shows how little soap you need for a fantastic shave!

Super early (for me) morning shave. Getting ready to attend a cornhole tournament at our local Legion. Will be a blast!

Blade felt a touch tuggy this shave, will use it again next shave. I may not have let my wiskers soften as long as usual.

Spent a little extra time on my lather today.
Lo and behold the blade was smooth sailing. Might be leaving a tiny bit more stubble then when new, but still cutting smoothly.

New blade today, old one was still smooth but was not cutting as closely as new. 24 hours post shave felt more like 36.
Was eye opening to see how many shaves a BIC will go in my Overlander. Doubt I will regularly go more then 7, much easier to start a new blade on Sunday.

Woke up earlier then the Missus, so once I finished my coffee I decided to shave. Really took my time building my lather, spaying less water at a time, really going slow to incorporate it. Then did my usual 2 passes, but again very slow and methodical. Results were telling, close to a 3 pass finish. It did take as long as three passes tho.

Simple, quick shave before work. Decided on The Dead Sea splash as my finisher today. Got a 2 thumbs up from the Missus, and a comment that for her it rivals Mudder Focker as a scent.
Good thing I like it as well!!

Long weekend away with the Grandkids and didn't manage to get in a shave. Fresh blade and 3 passes set me back to rights.

5 days growth to DFS+++ like it was nothing!

Repeat of yesterday, went a bit slower and got a touch closer shave.
Really enjoying this brush, it has really softened nicely while maintaining a decent stiffness. APSHAVECO did a fantastic job!

Finished up with a razor cleaning and new blade installed.
