Pre: Arko stick
Brush: Yaqi "Barber Pole" 24mm Synth
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavy Copper
Lather: Stirling "Executive Man"*
Razor: RR "Lupo 72"
Blade: Dorco "Prime"
Post: GBS alum block

Horrors! A profane mashup today:
Arko + faux Aventus lather and frag!

Worked just fine, though. Applied a
very light coating of Arko stick as a
pre-shave, then lathered up with
"Executive Man."

The Arko was a nice wake-up, which quickly
dissipated upon a second-pass lathering,
leaving just the great frag of "Executive Man."

Hope this will satisfy my friends in both
Arko August and All Aventus August events.

*With a dollop of added Pantene
Hair Conditioner in the bowl.

Stay healthy,

Bill​

>> All Aventus August <<

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Semogue 1800
Soap: Razorock ~ Emperor
Razor: Mühle Rocca
Blade: vintage Polsilver Stainless (18)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Razorock ~ Emperor
Fragrance: Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man EdT

AAA - day 9

Nothing spectacular to report today. The shave was uneventful, three super smooth passes followed by my standard touchups. The combo of my Rocca, a nicely slick and excellent smelling lather from Razorock's Emperor and a still strong going super smooth Polsilver blade is really hard to beat... Result? Almost BBS, without any irritation of my skin.

My "slurping beauty", as I use to call my Rocca due to the audible feedback she provides, works stunningly well with the vintage Polsilver, she might become my preferred razor with this blade.
Super smooth strokes, yet efficient. Just a minor hint of burning feedback from the AS - very very nice.

Did I already mention I'm smelling just devine

Happy shaves, y'all!

A good shave.

Today's shave was a confectionery, mint, and fruit mixture. Different (for me) but pleasant. The combined scents are very enjoyable but strangely enough they don't make me hungry.


Happy shaves guys.
