Razorock One X AS Splash

Once again I used some stuff that’s been sitting around the house for ages collecting dust - this One X soap and aftershave were a gift from my beautiful wife. The scent of this stuff is absolutely MAGNIFICENT - it’s a clone of Aqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo which is a fragrance that I had a long time ago and I love it. The soap lathers like a maniac, it’s pretty slick, but although menthol is listed among the ingredients I don’t feel any cooling effect from it, and it has fairly good skincare. The CutiBase moisturizer is unscented and is it ever soothing, while the One X aftershave has the same gorgeous scent as the soap and it gives a mild menthol sensation. I only did two passes but I still wound up having an excellent BBS shave!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and safe!

Thanks Toby, simple men with simple needs.

Adjustable August Eve Shave 

Brush: PAA Amber Aerolite
Soap: VDH deluxe
RazorS: pre 51 Super Speed/54 Flair Tip/58 Blue Tip
Blade: Personna 
AS: Marting Soaps Citrus Waters 

Four passes.  Pass 1 with the pre 51 Super Speed.  Pass 2 with the 54 Flair Tip.  Passes 3&4 with the Bluey.  Wonderful shave.  
My thinking with this shave is a different way of achieving adjustability w/o using a stand alone adjustable razor.  Each razor used has a different blade gap/level of aggression.  So using the most aggressive then the lessor and then the least aggressive razors in descending order, you achieve the same as you could/would with a stand alone adjustable razor.  Such as a Futur or a Fatboy.  I will allow this sort of shave creativity for the month of August.
