My Rooney butterscotch Emilion did not make the headline, but it’s a superb brush, and the lather I got this morning was really first rate. The key is to load the brush fully, and today I had to add a little water a couple of times during loading to ensure the brush picked up ample soap.
The iKon X3 is a first-rate slant, with the X3 head here mounted on RazoRock’s excellent barberpole handle. This hand has the finial knob a larger diameter than the handle, something I wish other handles would mimic: the larger knob greatly facilitates the ATG pass. Three passess smoothed my face completely.
Thayers witch hazel with aloe vera is a well-established and highly regarded product. This one is an astringent, which means it is 10% alcohol. The lemon fragrance is light, and all the Thayers witch-hazel fragrances are short-lived but pleasant when applied.
