Phew. And I really thought this SOTD was going to be scuppered from the offset.
SE party pooper - Ikon B1 with chrome cap
Boooooo. It's a DE blade - Kai
Not a Dandelion? - Cadman 30mm Tuxedo
Soap in a tube? - Blenheim Bouquet cream
Why be at one when you can be at two?
My recent quest for everything with only one edge has seen the few remaining DE's sitting neglected in the shaving cabinet. Shame on you Chris, shame on you. So for a change I thought I'd give the Ikon SB a chance to prove its worth. Feed it a Kai (Not to be mistaken with Kale which is a disgusting rank edible leaf) and away we go.
Public health warning. Do not attempt to eat Kai blades. Thank you.......or Kale
Sometimes a little nudge with an elbow is needed to think outside your own little bubble. How lovely to have the Ikon in my hand once again and how wonderful it delivers. I didn't rate it as the best DE I've ever owned because it isn't. I rated it because it is. I also forgot how damn good these Kai blades are. Sharp sharp and sharp and I love it that they say naff all on them. No 'Super perma sharp stainless steel' or anything else and not even the name Kai. Nothing. Let the blade do the talking. And it did.
'By the hairs on your chinny chin chin I shall slice and cut until there are no more hairs on your chinny chin chin'
And it did
A great double act and I am really glad I revisited neglected grounds. With the Penhaligon's providing the soapy show and the Cadman providing the soapy show application; one super close and smooth shave was had. Finish with a rub of Mrs Satanfriendly's Spanish Fig and Nutmeg moisturiser and a wonderful closing touch to this equally wonderful sink event.
On a finishing point I asked Mrs SF if she could buy me an axe for cutting through roots etc with the garden project. I never quite expected an absolute beautiful beast of a felling axe

Oh my oh my. I'm gone
