SOTD Nov 20-2019, (1st shave with the Oneblade)This shave turned out to be a interesting one, bought one of those Oneblade core single edge razors on sale. Now that is a interesting razor and it seemed to perform well with the floating blade, results were in my sweet spot range. I did do 3 pass shave (WTG,XTG, ATG with a clean up) with results being stellar. Nice razor with the feather blades.
Razor: Oneblade Core
Blade : Feather FHS-10 (1)
Soap: Razorock "The Dead Sea"
Preshave: Brush wash the face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel.
Post shave : Fine fresh Vetiver with witch hazel
Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + minor irritation + 1 blemish weeper = :biggrin1: Great shave

Pulled out my Schick Adjustable, loaded with a Schick Twin Bonded blade.

Soap of choice was PDP 63, followed by Old-Spice AS, and Soap Commander Balm. Nice start to the day.
