Had a very busy week at work, unfortunately first time I have had to post this week.
A great shave today, I cannot believe its June already
On Wednesday SWMBO was on a late shift and was most puzzled to what why three parcels had arrived.
A Aesop shaving bowl (stainless steel - ideal for our holiday), Vitos shave cream and a OSS Bulldog handle, which I have paired with a iKon 104 Tech head.
My first shave with the iKon 104 Tech for a long, long time. I felt comfortable shaving with this beast, after feeling that I have tamed the Muhle R41. What a shave. Earlier this week I shaved with the Perma-Sharp Super Stainless (the Scottish version of this fine blade - made in Paisley with Sheffield steel
, with a Rockwell and wanted to use this in the iKon Tech as I found this to be an excellent, efficient and smooth blade,
What a trebble act - the Vitos cream, when I opened the parcel I thought the postie had delivered a slab of C4 plastic explosive! I was planning to take the Vitos on holiday - no chance given the weight and the risk of being called back for a full body cavity search! What a cream, protective, excellent cushion and glide and what a post shave feel - as every YMMV.
The star perfromer was the iKon 104 Tech - very efficent, smooth, yet there was a feeling that if you don't give the razor full concentration and resprct, it would bite.
OSP Eucalyptus and Menthol Splash to finish off, nice tingle - no burn, which gave me the feeling that I got the pressure and the angle right on the shave.
All the best,
Chris
