Oh nice! I didn't know we had one here. I love Arko, not so much the Nivea but I got that too. I also use Astras or GSB blades. My brush looks nicer tho, and your razor head is zamak.

The Nivea cream is total crap and burns the living hell out of my skin, it's an Edwin Jagger razor but I've only used it a handful of times. I ended up just growing the beard so all of my safety razor stuff is kind of redundant now. I love Arko too, especially the smell of it. The brush was the last thing I had bought, it started to split after only a few uses. It's only synthetic, nothing fancy. My fave blades are the feather blades, Astras irritate my skin too much for some reason. I have bitch skin unfortunately. Runs in the family.

Even with a beard right now I still use my safety razor for keeping my neck trimmed. It can also remove a full beard pretty easily without trimming it first, which is neat.

That's why I use a safety razor, everything else irritates my face, even electric razors.

I just use an electric trimmer for my neck line, if my beard was shorter I'd probably continue to use a safety razor but I never liked to use it when it came to lining the beard up because it always felt clunky, and the edwin jagger is actually fairly small. I preferred to use a straight razor for lining up but I stopped doing it a while ago. Yah I've shaved a full beard using a safety razor before. I could never get the hang of shaving against the grain on my neck though. Do you line the cheek lines as well? I used to do that too but now I just keep a natural cheek line.

Yeah I trim my cheek line, my hair there is light.
