Does she change bras mid interview?

Oh boy you don't know the half of what he gets up to…Google (incl. Image searches) will tell you even more than this...I neither agree nor condone how he does what he does, but can appreciate his photographic aesthetic.

FWIW, I think Speick products are strong contenders for best value for money shaving requisites on the market...

I hear you mate!
...in your stupid tanned lathered face arko

Haha @stillshunter, I thought for a moment you were talking about my face, but you have no idea what it looks like...

Out of interest, I think Value For Money can be expressed as a simple equation :

VFM = (Quality x Quantity)/Price

Which is why I think Speick rates highly - the quantity for money is perhaps a tad above average, but the Quality is very high which makes for a very high final score. Arko on the other hand looks good from the Quantity for Price point of view, but is shot down for people like us by having a piss poor Quality score..

ORLY! *raises eyebrow*
Don't mistake a questionable scent with lack of performance.
If it was to use Jermyn St's scent from the TOBS range, folks would be positively fawning over it at any given chance (with the occasional exception like @filobiblic )

 

[Draco Noir]

Well that's a big part of the Quality variable in the equation @borked - who wants to walk into the bathroom first thing in the morning and cover their face in something they really don't like the smell of? That's not a good customer experience

Agree completely mate - if they used a fragrance that was actually appealing, they would kill it. Look at Proraso for example

Or even ARKO!!!!!

 

[Draco Noir]

Lol @gthomas04 - the argument goes full circle That's why I qualified the ARKO quality thing with "people like us" (@stillshunter and myself).

Man, if you like the scent of Arko it's going to wipe the floor with everytrhing in sight as far as Value For Money goes

It's interesting isn't it - fragrance seems to be the most personal and subjective thing of all when it comes to soaps, creams, balms etc. And also the most difficult to describe to another person...

So true!

Somewhat true, yet to me at least, I view it as personal preference, as if you have used it and not a fan of the scent, will you also deny it performs far beyond the expectation for what it is employed to do at that price point?

 

[Draco Noir]

@borked, I certainly didn't deny that - just tried to make the point that a scent that is unpleasant to someone will drag down the perceived quality of the product.

And I was at pains to make the point that if you do like the scent of Arko, it's going to absolutely triumph in the VFM department.

 

[borked]

and I do concede that a scent can make or break a grooming product
