I really like the regular-size S-Brushes. (The pro sizes are unpleasant to use, unfortunately: too stiff and springy.) With this S-10005 I got a very nice lather from Meißner Tremonia’s Himalayan Heights shaving soap:
Stearic Acid, Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil*, Aqua, Potassium Hydroxide, Orbignya Oleifera (babassu) oil*, Sodium Hydroxide, Macadamia terifolia oil, Cedrus deodora oil, Glycerin*, Citric Acid, Talc, Kaolin, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) oil*, Himalayan salt, C. I. 77007.
*Bio – Qualität
I looked up a few of the Latin names because I was curious. The soap has a very nice fragrance—primarily the cedar—and the lather is excellent.
The iKon S3S is a razor I don’t often use, but when I do, I really enjoy it and it does a terrific job. It has a massive head, and thus requires a heavy handle. The head mass drives the blade’s cutting edge easily through the stubble, and with this razor I virtually always get a BBS result, and so it was today.
A dot of Phoenix Artisan’s Alt-Eleven aftershave balm as an aftershave, and the weekend is launched.
I had a sudden thought this morning: a very good sign that you don’t need a product is that its description begins “At last!”, a sure sign that it is designed to solve a “problem” tht doesn’t in fact exist.
