Watch out on pass 9...the "pass-out" pass

Tried that and regretfully it didn't work for me, but I was partly to blame since I substituted the Boston Pops Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture conducted by Arthur Fiedler for the violin music and cut myself horribly at the passage where the cannon shots are fired. (I am still trying to locate the missing part of my ear.)

Of course, shaving only by candlelight at 5 am didn't help either.

Neither did I care for the caviar's fish taste while shaving.

I am thinking now of sprinkling gold dust on my $8 boar brush as - similar to graphite in a pencil - it might improve lubrication and would finally enable me to save money and enjoy using $1.09 Williams shaving pucks every day...

Arko does NOT smell like a urine cake. If it did I wouldn't mind because I like the way those smell. Come on, you know you do too!! But would not like it for an everyday shaving soap. That being said, I have a sample 15 gram MdC on the way to try out. Arko does have a very strong clean and soapy smell to it that is fine with me. It works fine for me. Wet your face, rub the stick all over your face then hit with a warm and slightly dampened brush, creates ample lather. Exceeded my expectations.
