Pre Shave: Hot Shower + Bulldog face wash
Razor: iKon 102
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (#1)
Brush: Semogue 610
Soap: Vie Long Stick
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphreys Witch Hazel
AS: Sir Irisch Moos balm
EDT: Guerlain Habit Rouge
First shave with the iKon 102 and the Vie Long soap. Superb shave apart from the tiniest nick on my nose, which was clearly my cack handedness. The Vie Long soap is great, it quickly produced a decent lather, a very mild scent to this soap which is fine. I am very impressed with the iKon 102, I already have the iKon X3 and I get varying results with it. The X3 is not bad, it just seems to shave closer sometimes than others for me, but it feels very safe. For a first shave with the 102 it was very good, I only needed 2 passes for a very close shave. The last DE razor that impressed me this much on a first shave was the Timeless Stainless, this iKon is a seconds from Connaught Shaving and I cannot see any flaws or blemishes with the naked eye.
