Hello All,
Final Day of Arko Week. Today it was Sensitive, followed by some Cz&Sp 88 EDT. I have observed (again) that all the Arko creams provide the same level of lube and lather quality. Even though there are several flavors, they all smell about the same to me, except for Citrus, my favorite flavor and the only one I can readily detect in scent.
Andrew, I've been observing the superb variety of creams, soaps and colognes in your SOTDs, and I must say you have a whole lot of stuff there, pardner ! So you're the gent who owns the Texas Shave Castle! Tell me, where do you store all your stuff? Did you say one time you are fortunate to have a walk-in closet just for toiletries? Was that you? Or was that Ravi ?
Cheers,
Richard

Remember, you can't see nicks on the back of your head... It could be bloody murder back there and you wouldn't know. Especially if you cut yourself with a feather. You know...those nicks you don't feel until you add a bit of aftershave or see the blood.fallingwickets wrote: One day, when i hear from relaible sources that the ER is empty, I'm going to try and do the head with a DE
