Getting a little tired of just using the one soap over and over so I decided to use the RazoRock today.
Sunday
Hot water prep
Blasberg razor - Acca Kappa 1869 sc - generic silvertip badger brush - cold water splash - Acca Kappa 1869 asb - hot towel - shower - Acca Kappa 1869 AdC
A damn fine shave! Had to choose one of my sharpest razors as yesterday I got a little sunburnt, so the skin was sensitive. Glad to say that the Blasberg performed above par and the shave was excellent. Enjoyed to the tunes of Miles Davis - Birth of the cool :)
