Oh! I forgot to add: no sharks were even seen during my shave. NOT A DROP OF BLOOD WAS SHED!This is the blade I used last year, today I used it for the 5th use.

The tuck pictured was for stainless sharks. Some kind soul here gave them to me. I will use one of them if I can't make the above one last for the month!
It was an incredible shave. The aftershave, as I recall, is a weird experimental mix of vintage Avon Blend 7 and another Avon called "Backwoods" or "Outback" I can't remember, some 70's scent. If someone here were to type it I'd remember it. I also put some Orange essential oil in it. Leaves my incredibly handsome face feeling AND smelling great. My lovely wife even likes the smell!
My face is still BBS after 6 hours or so.
The brush I will tell about in my "Just like Grampa used to shave" thread.
I have decided to try and go all through out August with this setup.
When does "Shark Week" start?
I sincerely doubt I will shave every single day in August!
The ARKO aftershave balm goes on slightly heavier than the Nivea balm I usually use, with no discernible scent. I like the way it feels. The ARKO aftershave cologne has a nice cooling feel to it, doesn't dry my skin or leave it feeling oily, the scent is pronounced with a lot of staying power. A really nice way to start the day out, a bit too much for the evening.Wow you are 'really' all in. What are the aftershave cream and cologne like?

Utter perfection attained with the king of soaps and my Parker SRX SS Shavette loaded with half a Wisamet super iridium. Though I would treat myself seeing as it's Sunday
Switched it up with a good splash of Brion Serbian aftershave followed by the traditional slapping of the face. No idea why I do it, but my dad always did that when he out his Old Spice on.
Did he slap his face vigorously when he applied his aftershave?We might have the same Father my friend!
