Introducing a N00bie to SR Shaving

[Alum Ladd]

This thread must be assimilated.

We are the Arko! Lower your shaving soap shields and surrender your prejudices. We will add your biological and technological shaving soap based distinctiveness to our own. Your preferred soaps will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

This morning I visited Michael to wish him a merry Christmas. I gave (loaned?) him a Ming Shi 2000S, a Chinese guaranteed genuine pure best badger hair synthetic brush, a stick of ARKO and some Astra SP blades.

​

Michael told me that when he started shaving, it was with a "safety" razor, so he still kind of remembers how to use one. I gave him some instructions on how to load the blade and adjust the razor. I also asked Michael to return it to me if traditional wet shaving is not for him.

If Michael takes to the "safety" razor, I will next introduction him to a really safe razor, a straight razor.

I'm still trying to find an EdC that matches the scent of a freshly opened stick of ARKO.

Found it!

Found it!

Looked into it but it is not suitable for prolonged skin contact.
