Although this Tcheon Fung Sing Crazy Sandalwood is labeled “Forte,” the fragrance is not nearly so strong as AOS Sandalwood, though certainly pleasant, and the soap provides a good lather, today with the aid of Phoenix Artisan’s Amber Aerolite brush. It has a 24mm knot, and the handle is large, so a big brush. (PA offers another brush in the Aerolite style, the Phantom Aerolite, but though it looks attractive, the knot is 26mm, which for me is too large.)
The stubble fell quickly to my iKon stainless steel slant with a DLC-coated head. The handle, I noticed this morning is from Above the Tie — they round the end of the handle, which you can just detect in the photo if you enlarge it (click it, then click the result) and can readily detect if you try to stand the razor on its base.
Three passes to a perfect result — this is another razor where I learned to ride the cap for the best result — and then a dab of Origins Fire Fighter, a very nice balm, finished the job..
A new week, with a new month awaiting at the end.
