Thanks. Yes, it's some wonderful gear, and it was a great shave.That is, in my opinion, the SOTD. I can only imagine. Fantastic.

Still my favourite DE blade by far and it's kind of cool being a hero! thank you.For this Friday the theme of my shave was 'Orange. The new donkey'
View attachment 43885
Agent orange - Ikon B1 SB
Boss orange - Polsilver Lodz
Orange utang - Razorock Plissoft 400
Oranges and lemons - Extro Arancia soft soap
A Clockwork orange - Extro Arancia EDT
After the past week of relying on donkeys contributing to my shaving routine I decided donkeys are out of vogue and a return to being orange just had to be the flavour of the day. Step in those wonderful Italians and their flair for everything tasteful. Not necessarily well executed, but tasteful. Own a Moto Guzzi motorbike and you'll have an idea where I am coming from. Gorgeous to look at, gorgeous to ride but one just doesn't know what is going to fall off next. Preferably not the rider. In this case step forward Sig Extro and his wonderful shaving soaps. Not much to fall off fortunately but I am perplexed why the old gentleman on the lid has what appears to be a wood plane.
I love this stuff. Easy to pick up on the brush and easy to lather. A lather up there with the French and their donkeys and a scent just out of this world. Although I am very doubtful oranges exist much beyond our little planet.

Mmmmm?
I have said enough about the Ikon in I don't know how many previous SOTD's and whatever trash and waffle I wrote at the time still stands. Give me one razor, give me the Ikon SB. Not everyone's concept of a great razor, but to me nothing gets closer. Throw a Polsilver Lodz in to the mix simply because I am totally unoriginal and can't be bothered with anything else. @Blademonkey you are my hero. You saved me a lifetime of trialling a whole mountain of blades just to arrive at the top and to find out the climb was a wasteful journey.
To top this wonderful shave off; bring back Sig Extro and his Arancia EDT, once again wielding his wood plane on the packaging. May be he is shaving the peel off some oranges, but whatever it is; he is doing a damn fine job.
So to end a damn fine day, a damn fine shave. As smooth as Tropicana without the juicy bits and smelling every bit the equal.
Be well all you raving shaving folk, have a great weekend and may all your shaves be as wonderful as this one.
Happy Birthday Paul, may you have many more P.May 17th Birthday Shave
