I have just had my smoothest shave ever, I have been dabbling with Derby cream this week to see how it compares with an Arko stick. Whilst is gave me a great shave I don't like the lather being all in the brush and not in the bowl, it also makes it harder to clean the brush out.
Today I went back to the Arko and tried a Shark blade in place of my regular Derby. WOW, what a smooth BBS shave. Loving the Arko!
Finished off with Nivea balm, and a splash of Turkish lemon cologne.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

No shave for me today. I've come down with some bug so it's back to bed for me. Hopefully I won't be too long away.
