Monday...

Merkur Futur w/new Feather blade
Bic Metal
Simpson Persian Jar 1 in best.
Arko soap
QED Rose Hyrodsol
Tendskin
Em's Lavender a/s balm

Floris Special 127 edt

The Arko soap gives me a great smooth & close shave. The performance/price is incredible on this product.
I like the soap much more than any of the Arko creams.

Have a great day.

Patrick, as I told a few guys here, the Arko soap made this shaving line famous. But, there are 2 excellent creams from Arko also--the Sensitive, which I used this morning, and the Commando. You're right about the soap though, it's fantastic.

Austin,
How do you like that Beard & Skin Therapy?? I keep seeing it popping up in SOTD pics (maybe they're your pics) and was wondering how it performed. I saw it at Sun Harvest, the price was OK, but the smell wasn't wonderful. What's your take on it?

sorry to take the thread off-track

I really like it. I apply a pea drop to my wet face and it conditions and soothes the skin. Worth a look.

The Hardware: Merkur 1904 w/ fresh Israeli blade , SR-204 brush

The Goods: Proraso pre/post, T&H Limes cream

The Tone: Thayer's Lavender WH, Floris Santal splash

The Cleanup: DR Harris A/S milk, Trumper's Coral Skin Food, QED Da Vinci Water

The Stench: Drakkar Noir EdT

Last time I use the Drakkar Noir in that quantity. Phew. It's tolerable in small doses.

Really liking the Israeli blade, I believe this is my third one. On my face, it's similar to a Derby, but seems a touch smoother. The T&H Limes, on the other hand... It gave a nice rich lather, but very little lubrication. The blade was skipping across my face. Not quite as bad as AOS Lemon in that department, though.

Thanks Richard, believe me my BK gets used plenty...it's a great brush. I wish my pic's where half as good as your's, but I only have a small pocket sized digital camera.
