Results: Time for the IXL to shine through on this beautiful post-Halloween Tuesdayhttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif. Once again, I opted for the Arko today, but this time in combination with Al's Bomb creme. In contrast to yesterday, I used a little less Arko and the scent was much better but with equally über-amazing performance. I know Al's creme is the crème de la crème, but what I have come to really appreciate is Arko's performance. They should make this with better smelling essential oils. Beautifully BBS and satisfying shave:y. |
