A shave to frame, simply delicious. Though I haven’t connected with Eufros Lignvm completely, it is indeed a very appropriate scent for the weather we are having.

Greetings,


A relaxing sunday morning shave...The Weishi 2.0 Adjustable/Gillette Winner blade duo was a real smooth efficient combo...The Weishi Adj performance on the higher settings give a superb efficient comfortable shave.

The humble 'Turkish Delight' Arko shave stick never fails to provide a slick protective lather in a short space of time, love it or hate it..The performance from this shave stick is amazingly good...After yesterday winter solstice shave i didn't have much stubble to contend with, so after a comfortable 2 passes + a pick ups pass my face was silky smooth again with no errors report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous Splash of Arko ~ Cool Cologne.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.😎
