Long time since I got this beauty wet. It's a much better shave with a Polsilver than with the English Wilkie I used last time out.

Really enjoying these close shaves, cheeks feel a little warm and maybe I should stick to two passes instead of pushing it to three. But I am enjoying this set up so much that I want to shave more!

Have a good evening Gents. :D

Hot wash with dove soap.
Vie-Long Horse/badger mix.
ARKO soap.
Kropp 6/8 straight.
Edwin Jagger DE89.
Gillette silver blue blade.
Cien Ebony AS.

Nice 2 pass WTG using the Kropp, finished with an ATG pass with the EJ89. Despite sniffing the ARKO for 10 minutes I cant see where the public toilet block smell comes in, unless you all have posh toilet blocks. Lathering wasn't too bad but I think I am leaning towards cream and croap. No weepers, no nicks or razor burn. Nice smooth skin with a nice smelling AS. Very cheap shave but cheerful today.
