The shave cream shown unfortunately did not do the job. Perhaps I just used not enough, but the amount I used was the amount of shaving cream I normally would squeeze from a tube. (I’m going to use a different shaving cream tomorrow, one that’s also in a tube, to compare.)
The first pass, using my wonder iKon #102, went well, but there was just not much lather in the brush for the second pass. So I took the La Toja shaving stick that was on the counter, rubbed it against the grain of the reduced stubble and scraped off enough to produce a good lather, thanks to stubborn stubble under my jawline and on my chin and upper lip.
With the brush now fully loaded, the rest of the shave went well, but I think this shaving cream goes to the back of the shelf. After 3 passes with the #102 my face was remarkably smooth, and a splash of Bulgari EDT moderated by a couple of squirts of Grooming Dept Hydrating Gel worked quite well as an aftershave.
And it’s a nice day, so a walk is coming up.
