Not bad at all! Gillette Aristocrat, living upto its name.
That looks like a fine shaving, understated piece of elegant shaving equipment. Congrats. I've never seen one before.Just got my Razorock Game Changer .84 with barberpole handleView attachment 1040222
That is beautiful.My first Paladin shaving brush has arrived (High Rise Honey Beehive)
Yet another reason to love Arko!When I got home from work, I found the Amazon package containing the Fine Accoutrements brushes, Nivea Sensitive cream, and Arko soap bowl sitting on my doorstep. Unfortunately, the box was mildly squashed, one side flap was pushed in, and the other was pushed out:
I opened it and everything looked okay. The Nivea boxes were slightly flattened... then I saw the mangled Fine Stout box :
I took a peek through the tear and saw...
Just one tiny nick where something hard (possibly the Arko bowl) had pressed against it. But, that little spot just makes my OCD go into overdrive! However, I realize that it'll be a hassle to get an exchange for such a minor thing, so I'm just going to pretend it never happened.
It could have been worse, I guess. The Arko bowl is probably the only reason that the entire box hadn't been squashed flat. So, in the end, Kirko saved the day :
These are some of my favorite soaps. You are going to love the way they lather and shave. Congrats.Another package from Soapy Sciences! A brand that I was unfamiliar with but I found them recently. I heard a lot of good reviews on them so I'm excited to lather them up! As for scents, they both smell neutral/nice.
Lollipop Citrus smells like a Lime gummy bear/jolly rancher/sour patch. Sour, sweet, and pleasant.
Unscented smells like lotion. It has a hint of something that I didn't like at first but it's very minimal.
