19 August, 2023

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Busy day out running errands with the wife but the day started with a great shave. Been a very long time since I last used "The Dead Sea" soap & splash from RazoRock so I remedied that today. Performance wise, this has always been my favorite soap from them. Always great lather with excellent slip and cushion and the post shave face feel is so nice. Nice albeit light scent, very spicy & earthy with the rosemary, saffron and cannabis but I never have been able to detect any lemon or sandalwood. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the RazoRock Game Changer .68-P and I finished with the matching splash.

Hope you have a great day.

What a guilty pleasure Pineapple Ambrosia is. Between you and me I just love this soap and aftershave. It isn't straight pineapple or it would just be called pineapple. It's a sweet pineapple with a little coconut and something else I can't quite place. Overall it's really good and is a true favorite of mine. I think Pineapple Ambrosia is a great fragrance that is fun for warmer weather. Just don't eat the soap or drink the aftershave because trust me, you're going to want to.

The Kopparkant Plus did a fantastic job with a fifth-use RK blade and the Ever-Ready brush was a joy to use in itself. I didn't use a lot of soap but giving it a good bit of distilled water it produced plenty of lather allowing me to do three passes. I ended up as smooth as can be and after a few uses, I'll tell you I'm still very much diggin' the razor and the shave it gives.

The aftershave is a real gem. Not only does it smell fantastic (like you could drink it) but it feels great too. You can tell it hydrates your skin as the feeling is very apparent shortly after but also last for hours. I was noticing the effect for what felt like all day.

Like I said, Pineapple Ambrosia is a real guilty pleasure and I think if you try it, it might just become one for you too.

Thanks for reading. Now go enjoy your shave.
