I find Lavanille more difficult to lather than my other soaps, including other Barrister & Mann soaps. Not sure why that would be, but I noticed it again this morning. I’m pretty sure my brush was fully loaded, but sparse lather by the third pass, when I reloaded (with a different Barrister & Mann soap, Leviathan, which does a fine job).
The iKon 101 is a reliable workhorse and I got a fine shave with a certain amount of blade buffing required to finish. Maybe a new blade is in order.
A splash of Lavanille aftershave—a very nice fragrance—and the morning gets underway. I did again shake the aftershave well before use.
