Well not just one but two. I have a number of others I like to play with from time to time but it seems for the last couple of months it is either MWF or IK. IK is my benchmark. It gives me the closest and smoothest shave but either of them leave my face smiling and without need for further processing. As time passes and my skills improve the performance of some of the others improves. I think for a lot of us beginners the entire experience is so intoxicating it takes time to settle down and develop somewhat more objective opinions of the experience and its components. I am slowly coming to the point of differentiating what element is causing which effect. Soap, cream, strop, steel, grind, hot towels, preshave, aftershave..... so many choices so few whiskers. In another 30 years the entire pastime will likely distill to one blade, one soap, and one scent for me. I will become one with the shave.
