The Fatip Slant messed up my Zen, but the issue settled down and I managed to bend it to my benefit.
Enjoying this almost impeccable GRUME.

Last nights shave
Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
Blade: Gillette King C
Brush: Frank Shaving 3 Band Silvertip Badger
Soap: Fine Classic Platinum
Post-Shave: Alum Block
Fine Platinum AS Splash
Fine Platinum ASB
Castle Forbes Kieg EDP
First time with the King C blade and it left a few too many weepers for my liking. Got a DFS shave but not the customary BBS. I’ll give them another go but initial thoughts are based on what they cost they are expensive and maybe not as good as say Nacets.
Anyway happy Sunday all, almost there

Uncertain if these last little Arko bits in my bowl are in fact everlasting gobstoppers. They do look different from the movie..
They don't seem to be getting any smaller.
