Much better lather today. I think yesterday I did not give a good enough shake to the brush: synthetics hold a lot of surplus water, and that can dilute the lather. Today, I remembered, shook the brush twice, firmly, and got a very good lather. The totally white puck is oddly appealing. Again, the fragrance was light but pleasant.
iKon razors are really extremely nice. They all seem to be exceptionally comfortable and exceptionally efficient, and this open-comb was no exception: BBS is three passes with no problems at all. Really a superior shave.
A good splash of Fine Clean Vetiver aftershave—a favorite—and we are ready to launch the weekend once the day is done: roasted baby back ribs with Penzey’s Bicentennial Dry Rub. (Strip membrance from back of rack, let it sit for an hour or so to come to room temperature, then roast in 300ºF oven for 2 hr 30 min. Use kitchen shears to cut ribs apart: works much better than a knife.)
