What worked well on Sunday, Monday,and Tuesday worked good today. I got a BBS/DFS with "No Nicks or Weepers"
I am using a new shaving soap that is new to me. It seems to be very good.
Maybe after all of these years I finally learned how to shave?

Comments: The shave today was great! I started out with a two day growth as I didnt shave yesterday. The razor is more aggressive than the OSS model and took care of the two day growth like nothing and very smooth. This the first time using this iKon Deluxe razor and I like it alot. I like the fact that it is more aggressive than the OSS model and very smooth too! The Proraso blue cream was great and also my first time using it. It gave me a great lather with very good protection! No irritation or weepers! I ended up with a DFS in two passes and some minor touch up. I almost got a complete BBS except for one little spot on the neck area that I missed during my touchup so my fault! No complaints today at all!

Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!

Thx.
