A zen shave this morning.
I'm currently evaluating my 'shave den', so XPEC was up on the chopping board this morning.
Recently I have been using a stubborn Semogue 620 that refuses to break in fully and loves to eat my lather. So as I am evaluating a product, I played it safe and opted for the Razorock 400 with its lovely aluminium handle providing a nice heft.
The lather was easy and superb, with plenty of cushion and glide. The XPEC delivered a fantastic close shave with no nicks or weepers.
The verdict? It's a keeper.
I know some people hate the scent, but I quite like the pepperiness of it. And unlike lots of my other soaps - the scent doesn't vanish during use. So that's another plus.
There was no real need for any post shave - but, what the heck.
A great shave.
