    Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
    Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger
    Soap: RazoRock One-X croap
    Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC
    Blade: Bic (4)
    Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG (9, 10, 11)
    Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's WH, RazoRock One-X AS splash
    Cologne: Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre d' Orange

    I have four jars of the RazoRock One-X. Why? 1)It went on special at Italian Barber, possibly indicating I was one of the few to like it. 2) It's an amazing performer for me. 3) My significant other is a very generous woman and bought them for me. In keeping with the week's accidental theme, I bowl-lathered the One-X, for the first time in I don't remember how long. Talk about your exercise in excess! More than enough lather for all three passes, super thick, ridiculously consistent and moisturizing. This helped the Bic through all 3 passes on Day 4 with nary a nick or sign of iritation, topped off with the matching AS and more jasmine goodness from the EdT.

    4/24/2015 Nationwide Box Tour!

    Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Muhle R41 (2010), Hamburg Concave Quick Cutter straight razor
    Blade: Astra SP (3)
    Brush: Turkish #6
    Soap: Stirling - Vanilla Sandalwood
    After: Home made ASB, Nivea after shave balm
    Cologne: 1969

    I am using items from the Nationwide Box Tour this week. The Vanilla Sandalwood was whipped up nicely by the #6 brush. It has a light sandalwood scent in the background and the sweetness of Vanilla on top. The R41 and the Quick Cutter made short work of the stubble this morning. The Nivea ASB brought the moisturizing and the 1969 will have me smelling good all day. All in all it was another Darn Fine Shave.

    Have a blessed day!

    Jeff, I noticed that my recent purchase of Executive Man had a different feel, much easier to lather, not that Stirling was ever difficult for me, just seem easier. Also smelled better, not the animal fat many have complained about. Whatever Rod did, it's amazing!

    Shave of the week so far, very nice. It's been awhile since I've used Mystic Water and I'd forgotten how good it is. Have a good one.
