This is what shaving is supposed to be: a pre-shave beard wash with MR GLO, then a wonderful lather made by Mr Pomp and VintageBladesLLC.com’s own shaving soap. The fragrance of the soap is a very traditional adult English shaving soap fragrance—none of the novelty fragrances that can be fun for a shave every now and then. This is your steady daily shave fragrance, a blend of lavender and other notes that I cannot recognize but that have an immediate reassuring familiarity.
The iKon DLC Slant with a still newish Personna Lab Blue blade, carefully loaded, performed flawlessly. I was pretty much BBS at the end of the second pass, but continued with the third because why not perfection? Not a trace of a nick, no irritation or burn, just flawlessly smooth skin.
I applied a good splash of Captain’s Choice aftershave, and the week begins.
