Brush: Vie-Long Boar
Soap/Creme: Arko
Razor: Merkur Progress
Blade: Gillette (dark blue pack)
Pre: How towel
Post: Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables Creme Oil
Result: Got a new Vie-Long boar and wanted to try it out. Like most new boar brushes, there was that "new brush smell" (which sadly is a lot less nice than new car smell), so I gave it a basic cleaning and soaking, and figured that if there was one soap stronger than boar stink, it was Arko! Got a nice lather whipped up for a new brush and had a DFS, and the Arko really did overpower the boar stink!
