Four days of growth to get through had no time really. Grabbed the 66 Aristocrat Adjustable and loaded it up with a Nacet. First pass on 6 and the remaining two on 5. The Henri et Victoria - Terre d’Henri is an excellent performing and smelling soap and a little goes a long way. 30 second load with the Chubby 2 left me with enough for 4 or 5 passes. Both the soap and brush are lather monsters. Finished off with the matching balm and some Guerlain Homme l’Eau Boisee. Perfect and well needed shave.

Rating: 5 / 5

My Favorite Razor and Fragrance (the performance is awesome too, but the fragrance is just..da bomb)
Razor- LONE WOLF HASEGAWA 72 (kamisori grind)
Soap- Ariana & Evans "Khalifa"+ Black Afgano clone fragrance oil (I bought the "khalifa" because I love Nasomatto's Black Afgano, but while i find the fragrance to be similar, it was just way too light, so I added some...okay, A LOT of fragrance oil..)
Brush- Restored Vintage Made Right
Aftershave Splash- Home made. Everclear alcohol, plus Black Afgano clone fragrance oil.
Soap Jar- Some kind of vintage canister/jar, maybe for tobacco or something.
Aftershave bottle-Vintage perfume bottle.
Fragrance (not shown)- Nasomatto "Black Afgano"

First shave with the .84 plate on the GameChanger. Still very smooth, a notch more efficient. Does not feel like a usual .80+ blade gap though. Fantastic!

Schone Razor / Red Personna
RR 24 Barrell Plissoft
Grooming Dept. - Lavender Preshave
RR Dead Sea
Tcheon Fung Sing - Stupefacente aftershave splash.

Overall a really good shave. Not sure I like the difference in the comb on the Schone vs the Fatip. You can feel how much wider and more blunt those teeth are on this comb. I guess it just feels different.
 
Date: 06 February 2019

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush:- RazoRock Plissoft Synth. 24/57mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Arko (4 shaving sticks grated into a 250ml plastic tub)
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Razor/Blade:- Rockwell 6C 'R6' / Vintage NOS Wizamet Polsilver Brown #8
Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil / WAHL Bay Rum Aftershave Splash
Fragrance:- L'eau D'issey Pour Homme

I don't normally shave every single day, so why not for the whole month of February Summer Arko shave, I'm glad my skin is holding up for Arko just a tag dryer on my face for everyday shave which is no drama.

Arko shave stick seems fantastic for the whole summer season, so you don't have to worry too much about your skin drying out because we all start sweating again soon, Arko stick is fantastic when using only cold water because the lather explodes very quickly and very slick throughout the whole shave with a tip of water for each pass. I'm glad to have a whole of 12 Arko shave sticks suitable for Spring and Summer shaves, I'm not complaining about the smell of a very light lemon scent which is nowhere to a urinal cake smell.
