My ancient tub of Yardley, a big brand back in the day, is still going strong. I have to admit, though, that the G.B. Kent BK-4 does seem to be fluffier than I now like: too airy in feel. Nevertheless, it worked up a good lather and did its just well enough. But I think I’ll be seeing less of it in the future.
The iKon 101 is, in my view, an underappreciated gem, and it did a terrific job. Plus the head looks interesting.
A splash of Floris JF finished the shave on a good note. The name of the aftershave comes from the founder. From the Floris site:
1730 – Floris founder Juan Famenias Floris and his wife Elizabeth began selling perfume, combs and shaving products in the elegant quarter of London’s St James. The Floris shop they opened at 89 Jermyn Street remains the heart of the business and is still run by their descendants today.
