A great shave tonight. Hand lathering is making a huge difference in the quality of my shaves. The Stone Cottage Soapworks cream sample was courtesy of @Johnnynroy. I like this one and, especially, Suede de Kashmir so much I just put in an order. Bonus is the vendor is a B&B member!

Cream Arko Sensitive
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Gillette Red Tip A3
Blade Sharp JAWS Platinum 1st
Postshave Special Thayers Mix
Aftershave Reuzel Wood & Spice
Last island shave...another calm day and seems appropriate for the Arko. Nice creamy and slick lather with very pleasant scent.
Shave with razor paired with this blade was great! Sharp but very smooth and comfortable. 3+1 multiple direction passes gave a close bbs to dfs result without any issues at all. Mid efficiency. Post and aftershave was fantastic as usual. Rating 9.5/10
