Parker 98R Razor Arko Puck Proraso Mug Feather Blades

[@Smootus]

What a cool job.... shave every three days and sell soap, razors and blades! Thanks Geo for all you do for people who like to shave!

[@righteousredneck777]

I love the smell of arko and it performs well

[@geofatboy]

I can relate!

[@theantichaotic]

It is really famous arko soap in Turkey. It gives a smooth and comfortable feeling and at the same time feeling of old and traditional shave.

Geo would make an amazing 007 haha, I can just imagine whenever he shoots the bad guy, he closes off by saying "Have a great shave, have a great day". Then whenever Q asks Bond if there's anything else he needs, Geo replies "Make sure you clear the runways". Classic :)

[@jonathanniccolls1592]

Your lather technique is second to none! I've learned so much from your instructions on how to make and apply lather! Thank you, Geo! 👍

[@melocchisinatra8093]

Great shave Geo! That Arko is a fantastic soap. It's performance is uncanny. Love the scent.

[@j.t.r1409]

It's nice to see that sometimes the old reliable product still holds up, and for the price, it's hard to beat.

[@LeFatalpotato]

@@j.t.r1409 you gotta see how cheap they go for in turkey. I just bought a 12 pack of the bar for 5$

[@deadcell4837]

I like how it leaves a slippery film when watered down on the final passes. Great for going back over tricky areas at the end of a shave.

[@melocchisinatra8093]

[@TheRobby1971]

Most excellent explanation of the Arko. Cheers George a great watch as usual.

[@starr_shine3060]

Arko was my first soap. I wasn't crazy about its performance, but I did love the smell. It was the smell of pure freshness.

[@ozmobozo]

Some hate it some love it...

Love Arko soap.

Hi Geo, Dave from England here. Another great video! I've learnt a lot from you! Just one thing............It's simply not done to talk about knobs on public video's old boy!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I love Arko soap!! Take care, Dave.

[@geofatboy]

Oops! Guess I'd better watch my back when visiting the UK 😂

[@davesheppard8797]

@@geofatboy You'd be fine here in England!! And you would be most welcome. Your channel is watched by people all over the world and you give great advice. Your "Just clear the runways" is almost becoming your catchphrase. Just hope travel will be able to start again soon! I work in Theatre and the Americans I meet are usually from Disney when they come to sort productions of the Lion King or Mary Poppins. We had the world premiere of Mary Poppins at our Theatre.

This whole shaving style is so cool, I started recently and always look forward to it, it's wierd 😃 having your own stuff combined and having a pro shave at home.

Just got into shaving with blades and got this razor. Saving up some growth for nice first shave with it .

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Geo- Great shave and razor review; thank you! Nice-looking razor and shaving mug. The weekend’s here soon. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Geo!

I watched this vid seen how quick this fella shaved looked the business so I bought it from ebay and wow it was worth the £20 I paid. This Razor is well designed and great to handle.

Awesome shave and review Geo! For one of your next videos, could you please show us your strops and how they each perform? That’d be great to see. I’m also looking forward to seeing the Spartacus see action again. Thanks!:)

[@bradleycred99]

Well played my friend! Keep the great content coming. 👊🏼

[@DerekJS82]

Just started to use the Derby shave stick that you sent as part of my last order. Was a little dry but after watching your video on using the shave sticks I've learned it's best to soak the stick in hot water before applying to your soaked face. Practice makes perfect. P.S love the Paris Hilton quote, got a great laugh out of that.

[@ColHogan-zg2pc]

THAT'S why my arko stick didn't lather up well for a face lather like in the video's I watched, thanks for posting this!

[@mr.sirhoffer5553]

I have a parker 98r that I load with Astra blades....from my uses I really like it...longer handle and good heft are what I really like about it. Not too expensive either, so I think it could make a good razor for entry into wet shaving and for seasoned wet shavers that may want more length and weight in their razor.

[@geofatboy]

Sounds good! Thanks for sharing.

[@rajansharmaadv]

Instead of two videos a week start uploading three videos because we eagerly wait for your videos 👍👍👍

[@JoyShaving]

Great Shave Geo 👍 Can't go wrong with a Parker 😊👍

[@SixStringViolence]

I love the Arko scent and it produces a fantastic foumy lather. Same goes to Derby soap.

[@jesserlund1339]

Great video and thanks for the review, I will pick one up from Shave Nation today. Be Safe and Have a Great Day

[@jesserlund1339]

Thanks again for reviewing the '98R, I received mine on Wednesday from Shave Nation. For me It is a great safety razor even with the Parker blades. It has taken the lead as my favorite razor.

[@markkinslow128]

Really like that brush...

[@kurtchack]

It has been indispensable for the barbers and men of our country for years, and still is. A soap that has carried its nostalgic style and formula from the past to the present for years. Soap is a tallow-based product. There are many people in our country as well as abroad. Since it is a hard soap, its service life is long. It is the crown of our country's barbers due to its economic nature. 75 gr. stick and 90 gr. bowls available. It has a structure that creates a fast and voluminous foam. It adapts well to oily and normal skin. It cannot be said that dry skin likes much. After shaving, the skin may feel slightly dry and tight. Its scent, the classic soap scum that resembles cleanliness, sensitive noses stated that they felt a slight smell of lemon from the bottom.

[@markdavid3076]

Thanks for another good video. I use Arko as well. Really good shaving soap.

[@Brodie9666]

Great video thanks, question though: Once you've finished your shave, do you just rinse the pot out (with the soap puck still in the bottom) and leave it uncovered, or do you need to cover it up? Will the soap puck go bad if left uncovered? Ie dry out, miscolour etc? If you do just rinse the pot out, how do you dry it?

[@vhockada]

I bought the Rockwell R1 from you as my very first DE Razor coming from a straight razor and I am in love with this thing. It gets closer than my Dovo. Too bad you didn’t respond to my email I sent you.

[@felixG83]

Another great shave and great video, Geo.

[@okiedokie_cool]

Hi Geo, great shave as always. I recently got the Parker 94 R and Parker 98 R. There is a massive difference in height. Please make a side by side shave video to assess how the form factor can alter the aggression (knowing the Parker razor heads except 78R, TTOs, Variant and Semi Slant have similar heads). Please consider using the shave nation badger brush with Arko shaving cream (in tubes). Thanks as always

[@geofatboy]

Thanks very much for your specific request!

Thank you for sharing another great razor review. 🇨🇦😎

[@bobleroe3859]

A year ago I ordered what I thought was a shaving cream in a tube and got a shave soap stick. I had no idea what to do with it. Having seen a few videos I now know.

[@SIGSOLO]

Have you tried putting the Proraso soap (that comes in a little bowl) into the Proraso lather mug? Most people don't know that it is designed with that special shape to fit directly into the lather mug. So bowl into mug and lather away...

[@docmaddyy]

Really love your videos!

[@derearl-reisenspeisen1511]

A question about the Proraso Mug and soap. Does the shaving lather stay in the mug after use or do you rinse it?

[@proggh7289]

Hey Geo! In terms of aggressiveness how do the 98R and the 99R compare? Are they the same?

[@OlRickety]

Can you make a video on your $20 kit please?

[@geofatboy]

On the list. Thanks .

[@Yevhe_N]

Oh, Arko best balnce for the price and quality

[@xXturbo86Xx]

Depends on what you call "quality". It's dirt cheap but in terms of REAL QUALITY it's not even close to the other soaps.

Good review, wondering whether to buy 98r or 94r the small handle one

Choose the handle design that appeals to you.. They are similar shaving

It’s amazing that you don’t have any nicks. Every time I use Feather I end looking like an apple. I’m experimenting with other blades atm.

[@michaelhayward7572]

I can only use a Feather blade in my Merkur Progress.

[@bostonstrongpatriots8881]

It's been a while, maybe you figured out, Ibhad same with Feather, switched to Gillette King C DE blades, it's fantastic not a single nick cut nothing. A blade can be too sharp, combined with not perfect techinique can be ugly

[@naaveenmahadeshwar7889]

👍👍👍👌👌thanks for the review. I however use the Parker HEFTY 94r but I plan to buy this for a close relative. Is it ok to use this every alternate day??

[@JairHCastillo]

This is a dumb question, but just to confirm. Should the soap remain in the proraso mug for future use?

[@geofatboy]

Yes, leave it in there for subsequent shaves

[@alamore5084]

Can I mould an Arko soap stick and put it in an empty Arko soap bowl?

[@Pellidon]

Some say it smells like Frito Corn Chips. I think it smells like the soap aisle in an old time grocery store. Which I like.

[@jimfeldman4035]

An Arko stick in a twist up is my standard travel kit. I haven't had a chance to try the Parkers, but a big fan of the Feathers and Astra SPs in a mid century Gillette TTO mild blue tip. How aggressive would you consider the 98?

Hi, I've got a question. Due to this pandemic commerce between my country and the US and EUROPE may be suspended for a while. I've got a prorasso soap which I began to use right before all of this started about 4 months now. My question is how much does a shaving soap last? Should I order more just in case?? I shave an average of 5 times a week and I can't imagine getting back to can shaving foam.

Hey Geo, how do you think that Proraso mug would work as a lather bowl? My Shave Nation cilantro ceramic lather bowl slipped out of my hand yesterday and shattered into a dozen pieces. I looked at the Indestructabowls on the website and all the colors I like are all sold out. I need a subtle color to pass inspection here, and the Proraso looks good. Think it would work as a replacement?

[@Olek54321]

As far as I know this is actually a lather bowl, so you should be fine. I saw some videos (in Polish) where guy use it to lather Proraso soap and it went fantastic. It's kinda tight though, but as you call it "indestructible"

[@davesheppard8797]

Hey Paul, I just bought a Black shiny plastic Benny's shaving mug/bowl from Amazon. It works really well and an Arko puck sits perfectly in the bottom if you wish. I have a proraso one being delivered as I shall keep the Benny's one with a puck in. Cheers, Dave.

HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Do any Pucks or bar Soaps out there? You can mix and match old Soaps? to fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) Cut the bar soap up on a paper plate, pour the soap, shavings and chunks from your plate into a mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, microwave your soap and cups or mugs? put your paper plate under your cup in case it bubbles out of your cup? for a minute or so? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. (You can use any Hard Soaps You like??) Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money in these Inflationary Times. Your mileage may vary? Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year
