Love the look of the razor

My modern TIs are fantastic, definitely solid in rotation.
I'm a big fan of natural materials in handle or scales; notably wood or timber

#14 in 2024 GRUYERE shave sebaticle - Still in

#31 GRUME April 2024 - Still in



Date: 04.16.24

Days growth: 4

Head and face shave

Razor: Gillette Superspeed

Blade: Astra Superior platinum (3)

Brush: Omega Pro 48 boar



Pre-shave: Hot shower using Johnson and Johnson on face and head with facial scrubber

Lather: ARKO stick

Passes: 2 WTG ATG plus touchups



Post Shave Routine and products:

1 - Hot rinse with microfiber towel X2

2 - Cold rinse

3 - Cold rinse with microfiber towel X1

4 - Aftershave: 4711 splash

5 - Balm: 3in1



Notes: This evening’s shave was very enjoyable. I have not used ARKO in a while and I always underestimate its performance and how much I enjoy the scent. The 4711 complimented it perfectly. I did get one pretty good nick right under my nostril, pretty painful. Outside of that, it was a close comfortable shave.

Comfort: 8

Enjoyment: 9
