I see the focus is not very good this morning, and I apologize for that. Autofocus, like autocorrect, has its ups and downs.
I wet the knot of the Omega 11047 (a mix of boar and badger) well before I showered. After showering, I washed my stubble at the sink using MR GLO, rinsed partially with a splash, and rubbed the Valobra shave stick against the grain over my entire beard. I rewet the brush under hot water to warm it up, gave it a couple of shakes, then brushed the stubble briskly and the lather arose. Despite the diminutive size of the Omega brush, it held plenty of lather for the entire shave.
Three passes with the iKon 101 left my face completely smooth and with no problems. The blade in it now is newish, so the shave was highly satisfying: very smooth action. FWIW, I find the 101 noticeably more comfortable than the iKon Short Comb—and a lot more interesting-looking as well.
A small splash of Lenthéric Tweed EDT as an aftershave, and the weekend is underway.
