The monday shave is always a pleasure and this mornings is hard to beat. I realized that the Rooney Style 3 Size 1 I used has a longer loft than many of my brushes, which contributes to its fine feel on thee face. Loaded with Phoenix Artisan’s Cavendish in their CK-6 formula, the lather was thick and gratifying and the fragrance of a fine pipe tobacco was distinct.
The ikon X3 is an excellent slant, and here it’s mounted on a RazoRock Barber Pole handle from Italian Barber — an excellent handle, IMO. Three passes removed every trace of stubble, and a good splash of Cavendish aftershave fortified with a squirt of Grooming Dept Hydrating Gel finished the shave and started the week on a very nice note indeed.
