First Xmas day shave


iKon with Gillette 7 oclock yellow
MWF soap
Kent KB2 brush
Boots Freshwood balm


A very nice shave cannot believe how far I have traveled in 3 weeks From Multi blade Fusion to an iKon loaded with a feather blade ready for tomorrows shave.
ps My toes still curl just thinking about strait blades. :hungrig
 
Absoutely nothing against a fusion blade, in fact my SOTD was a fusion blade, a fido PIF sandlewood soap, sandlewood bay rum AS and maca root ASB, lobely and most importantly very quuck shave!! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!
