Wednesday’s Shave 

Watching now and good to see ya again ! Yeah the green was a pass for sure when you passed it around

Thanks for the video Ken.  It's nice to see you in action again.  While we are on the subject of great but inexpensive gear, two of my favorites are Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Toner ($4.68) and Dickinson's Enhanced Hydrating, Alcohol Free Witch Hazel Toner ($5.90).  The prices are from Amazon Prime, effective as I write this.  The original has witch hazel and alcohol, and it will both brace and disinfect your face really well.  The second is milder and an excellent, skin friendly moisturizer.  It can be used any time of day, not just after shaving.  I use them a lot.

Great video Fluffy !

Looks like I'm buying some Witch Hazel toner and some Arko this morning.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the kind offer. I've actually had it before, some years ago. I recall it was good, albeit not "elite". The scent doesn't bother me like it does other folks.

I'm just going to grab their new(ish?) tub of it for travel. They say pack what you don't mind losing. I'm a big fan of the compact soap containers (like the 2oz Proraso Green). The top of that one is great as a (small) makeshift lather bowl. I'm picturing the Arko being similar in size.

Not sure if it’s just me. I tried the Arko “puck” in the plastic bowl a good while ago.   But like the sticks better. Remember the bowl being a more firm soap. May have just been less fresh/old.
