U is for Under-

Whether you would say "undervalued" or "underrated", IMO RazoRock makes some of the best soaps available at a price-point that makes them one of the best values in wet shaving. The majority of their soaps clock in at under $10, and I've seen them as low as $3.99 / $4.99 each on occasion.

Proraso Pre / RazoRock "Acqua" Soap / Yaqi "Mysterious Space" Synth / Stirling Silicone Bowl / 1964 Gillette Slim
Gillette Silver Blue Blade / Alum / PAA Star Jelly / RazoRock "Acqua" Splash

Well, I haven't been shaving as often as I probably should, but I will try to make up for it the rest of the week...maybe... ;) . Anyway...the Letter "V" came up today and why not pull out my favorite "V" soap and aftershave set. Actually...it's probably my absolute favorite soap and aftershave set. Vide Poche got the call. Absolutely love this scent. I have gushed before so I won't do it again. But man...the way the honeysuckle, freesia, lavender, orange, bergamot and amber all work together...it is a bouquet of spring to my nose! The soap is one of the best performers I have also. Just really good stuff!

Three passes with the old Progress and I went for a sharper blade this time with the Feather. caught my neck a little and didn't even realize it. But no biggie. By the time I finished the shave and drenched myself in the aftershave...all was well. Damn Fine Shave Plus! Though I will say it is hard to tell when I touch my face...my hands feel a lot like sand paper right now.
