Adjustable August

XPEC~~Simpson H4~~Barbasol Floating Head/Polsilver~~Creed Aventus
Extra-special shave with the above-pictured cast of players.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the all-star line-up:
Leading off is the once-revered XPEC.
(From smallflower.com)

XPEC can dance toe-to-toe with anybody else on the floor. No hyperbole.
In the number 2 spot we have the one-of-a-kind, to my knowledge no other exists,
lone exemplar of a Simpson Harvard 4 knotted with SiLVERTiP badger.
Batting third and fourth, we have the one-two punch of the Barbasol Floating Head Razor
.....aaaaaannnnnnddddd....an original Polsilver blade, double-wrapped and having never seen the light of day until this morning.
The players were in sync and the conductor of this merry band was on his game as well.
Crash go the symbols
Ta-ra-ta-ra sing the trumpets
Whoosh, swoosh down go the whiskers.
Schmoooooooooooooothhhh.
Since 2010, no other scent has created such fervor.







5 spritzes to my corpus dilecti at 9am and 8 1/2 hours later it has pretty much become a skin scent.
A great skin scent, all the same.​

Very nice!

 

Great catch Jeff!

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Excellent Maestro!

 

Fantastic shave with a winning combo, Gary!

 

Thanks, Dave!

 

Thanks, Gary!

 

Whoa, color me tres impressed! You are a very committed fraghead when the Creed Aventus comes out to play! That’s a serious bottle! With the Barbasol FH it doesn’t get any better! Fabulous apex fragrance shave, Maestro!

 

Congratulations, Gary! We’re both the recipients of some great shaving tools! Terrific Valet shave, my friend! Kudos!

 

Thanks, Joe! I got a really good price for it since the owner considered it mutilated because a small piece of the tail had been removed! I acted like I needed to be persuaded, but I’m pleased as punch with the razor, and the great edge I put on it! One doesn’t shave with the tail!
