Theme justification: Arko is the cheapest lather in my den by a decent margin. It’s currently about $1.24 per shave stick if you buy a box of 12. Daily challenge: Evenything else in this shave is also the cheapest that I own:

This brush was $4 on Amazon and is the worst brush I’ve ever used. I almost don’t believe it’s badger. Full disclosure that I stole bmac’s picture of the Amazon listing, it seems their badger brush option isn’t currently available.

I usually kind of like the scent of Arko, but all I smelled during this shave was the stink of shitty animal hair. I also probably lost 25 hairs from the brush during the shave. I’m very tempted to throw this away, but might keep it around just for next year’s LG.

Stetson Cooling Moisture is the cheapest bottle of aftershave I own. I got it for $7.20 for 3.4 oz. of splash. It’s very slightly mentholated, and likely full of shit that I don’t want on my face all the time, but it’s a classic scent and is pretty mild on the skin.

And finally the razor is 3d-printed and cost u/josiguuh about $0.18 to make.

$FOF - Agua de Colonia Concentrada actually works really nicely with the lemon scent from Arko. The scent is super pleasant for the 20-30 minutes that it lasts.

It’s also the least expensive fragrance that I own, at about $20 a bottle. $SELFCARE - I was supposed to run today, but rested instead to give my back a chance to heal after tweaking it yesterday. I’m also off to a solstice party this evening with a bunch of our local friends. Should be a nice opportunity to unwind, catch up, and celebrate one of the longest days of the year.

Have a great weekend y’all!
