Greetings,
As always the humble Derby shave stick provide a slick protective lather in a short space of time.
I've mentioned many times in my postings that I take into consideration why some people have a love/hate opinions on the scent of Arko & derby shave sticks, even though both are great performing soaps some people can't/won't shave with them purely because of their scent, to my nose both soaps have a 'Clean scent' which I don't have any issues with besides that, once I've done my final cold water rinse I find the scent has virtually disappeared.... I also count myself very fortunate to have a skin type that hasn't had a adverse-reaction to any of the shaving soaps and creams that I've used to date.
Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.
My face is feeling smooth and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
