:) Does this mean I'm excluded from the Arko challenge because my Arko is no longer pure? If that is the case I will gather my balls and go home!!

For clarity refer to post #358 :)

No, we can accommodate variance - even anticlockwise lathering is OK

Ruben, here are a few pointers, I always dry my blades after shaving with a kitchen paper towel, always shave with perfectly dry hands when holding the razor, after stropping I spray a micro fibre cloth with silicone spray which is petroleum neutral, which also means it will cause no harm to plastics or horn bone or Ivory, last of all store your carbon razor in a dry environment and not the bathroom.

Thanks for the tip @Jamie as the micro fibre cloth with silicone spray has worked a treat!

Yesterday's SOTD

Rockwell 6S R3 w/ Kai (1)
Mondial1908 Boar
AP Reserve Bombora Soap/Splash/EdT

Bombora is an awesome set for a hot, humid Sydney day.

I gotta give shout out to this Mondial boar brush. It's f'ing amazing. If anyone loves boars and has not got one, go do it! There like 30 bucks. I can't imagine how any brush could be better.

I think it's identical to @UKSteve beloved ABC boar. The ABC was what I ordered, but this is what I got. What ever it is, I dig it.
