My Simpson Emperor 2 Best worked up a very nice lather from my pre-reformulation-and-outsourcing Geo. F. Trumper Sandalwood shaving soap. It was a good soap back then.
I haven’t used the iKon 101 for a couple of weeks, and even though I know that I like it, when I return to it after a break, I am always surprised by how very good it is: totally comfortable, very efficient, and altogether a delight. Three passes, no damage, totally smooth face.
A good splash of Saint Charles Shave Sandalwood aftershave, and the weekend is officially launched for me.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! (It doesn’t seem to be so big a holiday here as it is in Monterey CA.)
