You do pick some wonderfully shaped razors. That's a stunner

SOTD 6-24-15

PRESHAVE: Face wash with soap and warm/hot water
RAZOR: iKon Deluxe SB w/Bulldog handle
BLADE: Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow (1st try)
SOAP: Soap Commander "Purple" sample (2nd try)
BOWL: VDH
BRUSH: Proraso Omega (model ??) (1st try)
POST: Rinse with warm/hot water to get soap off and then some cold water rinses/splashes and pat try.

Comments: I used the Torrey for the first two passes but seemed to miss quite a bit of the beard so I fired up the iKon Deluxe SB with a fresh 7 o'clock yellow and did a pass plus some touch up and ended up with a DFS with no issues at all! No irritation but one weepers on the neck! The iKon Deluxe is a good and pretty aggressive razor which gets the job done and I like that! Sadly once I get my Wolfman's back, the iKon and ATT's plates will probably will go to new homes as I am getting into a few straights and don't need that many DE's. The blade was very good as it seemed both sharp and smooth so no complaints with it. The brush is also the first use and it seems like an okay brush. I think it is some kind of synthetic but not sure. The tips are soft but the rest is kinda stiff but that it probably cause it is new! I will need more time to test it out. This is the my second time with this soap and I like it alot. It is very good soap, great slick lather and protection. I still have no idea what the scent should be as too me it is weak enough where I cannot make it out. Shave was great today!

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.

Thank you, it is one of my favourites to shave with because of the blade shape.
