Great shave, the Raw Vanilla is starting to challenge my Bavx as my number one pick fragrance, two pass shave, minor touch up, the weather is a bit of a let down, still i'm off to the food festival being held down at the Cardiff bay and it's always nice to visit Cardiff such a nice city. I would love to move there, but house prices are at least 40 or 50% more expensive

Still sitting here unshaven. Am trying to decide whether to use the EJ Barley Chatsworth I used yesterday (which was lovely but a bit mild when compared with the 38C) or crack out the Ikon Shavemaster that arrived the other day.

Brush: Cubby 3
Razor: Klas Törnblom, near wedge
Soap: Provence Santé
AS: Code

Result: Very, very clean :D
Wow, what a nice blade, two days stubble wiped away. Latest Miller restore and he has made a lovely pair of scales in pink ivory wood with a red wedge and the Miller edge was as allways superb! :D

Hmm the Ikon is a strange beast! Did my normal two pass and if had hardly taken anything off.

Studied it closely and where almost all my other razors need a 30-45 degree tilt for the blade to come into contact with the skin I reckon the Ikon needs about a 75 degree tilt.

However, when I got it right it delivered a great shave without a doubt. Just needs some getting used to.

Obviously you have started to change the few main characteristics of your compositions and let me tell you it works very well!

Another shot with a point in mind; muy buena.

Still in my first week of shaving, and its getting better, just gotta get out of some bad habits, like trying to shave in 3min, just gotta learn to relax and enjoy, but getting there, felt smoother today

I've found I'm getting up earlier than I did before just so I have more time to have a 'proper' shave. Those extra ten minutes make all the difference! :icon_smile:
 
Hot shower
La Toja stick, face lathered with
Bodyshop synthetic brush
Jagger DE89, with
Gillette 7OC Yellow (5)
KoS balm

All the chat about this brush recently reminded me I impulse-bought one as a possible travel device when last in town. A little rougher on the face than my New Forest - as you'd expect - but face-lathered perfectly well, though (as some said) it's a little reluctant to splay out its bristles. Plenty of lather for three on the face and four on the neck, anyway, and a really splendid shave.

And yes, it dries almost instantly. Just need to find it a nice tube now.
