Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Face Wash and Proraso Red
Razor: iKon 101 + OSS Handle
Blade: ASCO orange (#1)
Brush: Hans Baier Silver Tip
Soap: Palmolive Stick grated
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented
AS: Nivea Originals Balm
A not so great shave today, the Palmolive Soap performed well after grating it up, I had two leftover sticks and decided to grate up what was left and stick it in a tin. What was not so good was the ASCO blade, no nicks, weepers or irritation but after three passes my face felt like it does normally after one pass with a blade that usually gives good results. The iKon 101 is quite mild but heavy and most blades I have tried are at least OK in this razor, the only other blade I recall that failed abysmally in this razor was the Merkur blade but that was actually worse than the ASCO.
I will try the same blade in the Fatip Piccolo tomorrow.
