I used the Thäter brush because on last use I noticed a little lather-fading in the third pass. This time, no problem at all. Probably operatory error.
I’ll post lather comments on Monday noon (PST). The shave, as noted, has 4 small nicks, but I much prefer a shave with no nicks. I experimented with the Treet carbon-steel blade (“Black Beauties”), but didn’t achieve the smoother comfortable shave I first had with this razor. Have I lost my iKon Slant mojo? I’ll continue to try other brands to try to capture my earlier success with this razor.
Still: a BBS finish, and the nicks were small and easily quelled with Clubman Pinaud Dab-on Nick Relief. A good splash of Saint Charles Shave Woods, and I am totally presentable, face-wise.
