Awesome Ikon shave, Clint! That’s a razor for the pro only. It puts the “A” in aggressive. I bought an Ikon OC baseplate for my AS-D2, but ended up more than happy with the ori equipment! Enjoy your day, my friend, and try not to stress.

That Wardonia and the Mark Cross are both great-looking razors, Jeff.

Good afternoon Cadre! Hope you're having a great day.

More shopping, sight-seeing, lunch and back at the hotel room for a little rest. Walking is the easiest way to get around here but there are a lot of hills. We've had a great time here the past few days. The wife has fallen in love with it so it looks as if we'll be coming back at some point.

Great shave this morning. Same brush and razor but today I went with Wet Shaving Products "Ol' Kentucky" Shave soap paired with Epsilon Amber. Great lather and wonderful DFS+ results.

Hope you're having a great week. :)

John, you continue to bowl me over with your carefully selected classic kits! The brush and razor alone are in a class of their own! I always enjoy your posts!

A very close shave. Two passes.
One red pinpoint on the chin.
I think I bought the soap off Amazon but I'm not sure. It makes a good lather and has a nice, mild sandalwood scent.
Stirling Barbershop Aftershave Splash was a nice topper.

Have a great day everyone

Nice setup. I used the IKON B1 SB today. I just bought it along with the CG handle from uptown in a BST last week. Actually made the mistake of buying a head I already had. I've done that before with whole razors, soaps and aftershaves, books, tools, etc...
Sometimes I think I might have some condition

But it's all good
