At least the lather is on theme!
Arko is really not bad. I enjoy the scent, which to me is mostly patchouli, with citronella and I guess lemon.
The Overlander was an interesting shave! I can see what Freedberg was talking about with the drag, but for me I think it's more caused by the geometry and the blade. It's hard to explain. I hate to say it, but it's almost like a Henson! /u/visceralwatch doesn't like Henson, so I guess more testing is needed before I jump to conclusions. Nice close shave though, and very comfortable! Maybe this blade is hitting it's stride, because I've had some not-so-close shaves with it lately, and even a little irritation here and there. Not today, though.
