Sunday 1st August, shave #213.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Arko (for Arko August)
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 SB, Astra SP #4
Post-shave: Nivea Balm.

The shave with Arko is like MWF (my current gold standard), as it lathers up as easily, and performs well. Got a BBS face, acceptably smooth neck, and no user error.

Where it loses marks is post-shave, as it's drying and leaves a bit of sting. It pairs up better with a balm than an alcohol aftershave.

My home-made puck was aired-out for 2 weeks. The scent is like a laundry product, "clean" but nothing fancy.

Tuesday 3rd August, shave #215.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: Rockwell 6S R3, Boots #3
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Brut AS.

For Mild & Medium Month, revisited the R3 plate, which I haven't tried for a long time. It doesn't feel like it's doing much ("is there a blade in this thing?"), but the result was a jeopardy-free DFS without much effort.

Shave #216. Second use of a Kai blade in the Carbon Cx copper. Very smooth shave but required three full passes.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar

Got a perfect lather off the refilled MWF — thin, slick but not drippy. BBS face and comfortably smooth neck.
