Last shave was Sunday so today I took some time to do it good.

Nice cold shower with mint shampoo by Yves Rocher.

-Fatboy-ISraeli 4th use
-Gillette Executive Fresh Feather
-Fresh Derby Extra
-Muhle Pinsel superbadger
-PSO
-Pre Proraso
-Arko sensitive shave cream -orange box/first use
-Nivea Fresh 2 phase lotion
-King a/s balm
-CAESARS MAN EDT pure Lime surrounding sweetness.

started out 2 passes with the grain using Executive Gillette with fresh feather.
Smeared some PRoraso Pre over the face to have a chill shave down.
switched to Fatboy for against the grain 1 pass, threw the ISraeli away afterwards then loaded a fresh Derby Extra into Fatboy setting 7 then against the grain touch up all over the face using PSO.

In between waiting I would smear the Arko cream all over the face
Is there a law against this kind of pampering ....

:rolleyes:

Rene, I find the Arko Sensitive cream has a nice cooling effect. Don't you find that also?

Jeff


Yeah that was weird ! I was thinking is this stuff cooling me or not its so little but its there ..so I thought lets boost it up and use proraso pre on it to amplify the effect of the Arko. quite a pretty impressive cream. its is not luxurious Lather def. not. but it gives a close shave nonetheless. If im going on holiday id not take my luxurious creams with me.. imagine stuffing the 500ml Proraso tube in your toilet bag. it will be Arko toothpaste like handy or the Arko shave stick because thats a no brainer lathering wise..I cant stand the smell of the shave stick wish I could.... im trying to get intouch of the company that designs Arko I must talk to the engineers who make the scents or rather no scents!
 
It's funny, but I like the scents of the Arko soap and the cream very much. There are 2 Arko aftershaves which I don't care for, but the creams and soap for me anyway, smell great.

I like using an unscented balm after Mama Bear soaps cause the scent of the soap smells so great and lingers so long I hate to cover it up.
