[Time Bandit]

Arko/Boarko August continues...

Prep: Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser used w/ a Clarisonic Mia Men

Blade: Gillette Nacet Stainless
Razor: Henson AL13 ++ (original Men's)

Brush: Omega Boar 10005/80005
Soap: Arko

Post: Thayer's Witch Hazel Unscented
Aftershave: Guerlain Vetiver

Its been a while since I've used my Henson. This razor continues to impress me. If you've never used one don't sleep on it. It's not a premium razor (obviously) but I believe it's smoothest autopilot razor out there. It's the only razor I have no hesitation going against the grain with. Seriously say what you will about its looks but it really is a gem of a whisker remover.

I wanted a nice smooth, clean, quick shave as I'm going to see The Killers live in concert tonight and needed to hit the road asap. The combo of the AL13 ++ with a Gillette Nacet really did the trick.

Fyi the Guirlane Vetiver pairs very well with the scent of Arko.
