The iKon Shavecraft 102 remains one of my all-time favorite razors. It is a slant that I believe would be safe for a novice, but despite its great comfort and reluctance to nick, it is nevertheless extremely efficient, and this morning I noted how the head mass assists in the smooth cutting action it delivers.
Of course, good prep helps as well. The lather from Mystic Water Cuppa Joe was bountiful and fragrant, and after 3 passes my face felt fine.
A splash of Master Bay Rum, and I’m ready for another sunny day.
