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.

Thank you Jeff. They have two different OC plates. One is super aggressive. This one is a homage to Gillette New Deluxe and shaves very similar to it.

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

Thank you. The ikon SB looks like it would be aggressive. I had the ikon Tech and it was a beast.

Good evening Cadre. Hope you had a wonderful day.

Late post because we drove back from Georgia today. Had a blast while away but it's great to be back home. Didn't shave this morning because I wanted to do it properly this evening. Wonderful three passes with the Henri et Victoria "Cognac and Cuban Cigars" soap and balm. Great results! Practically no feedback from the alum block.

Hope you have a pleasant evening. :)

Excellent lather from the soap. So easy to whip up and it was nicely creamy & slick...perfect for SR...!
Another enjoyable shave in the book! This razor is just excellent! The edge was keen yet smooth and comfortable after putting it through the full pasted balsa progression. 3+passes for a nice bbs/dfs result. Aftershaves were great too.

@novicewetshaver got me thinking about using my Wonderedge and I’m glad he did! Fantastic BBS this morning with my all time favorite fall scent!

Have a great day guys!
