Doubt any part of this shave, except the Arko scent, could be improved. 3.5 passes and a perfect BBS without a hint of irritation.

Sunday shave. Hard to believe it’s August. No rush today. Took out the Wolfman /Personna Lab for the 5th shave. The B&B LE brush loaded the cream beautifully and made a nice, slick lather. A nice four-pass face shave and two-pass head shave with no problems. Off to church in a few. Have a great day, folks.
 
Arko August.
