An extremely nice shave this morning. The organic (“bio”) asses’ milk shaving soap makes a great lather, and with Mr Pomp, the brush shown, I really enjoyed it.
This is a different iKon open-comb from yesterday’s. The Bulldog handle is somewhat longer, and this one has a nice matte finish. As with yesterday’s, blade alignment is achieved by a bar (as in the Gillette NEW) rather than by two studs or by corner brackets. The bar is a good device for aligning the blade: holds it securely in place as the razor’s tightened.
Three passes to a perfect result, then a good splash of Klar Seifen Klassik.
I have to say that I was sitting comfortably in my chair, still in my pajamas, and perusing the news, when my calendar popped up to tell me I had a dental appointment in 15 minutes. I jumped up, quickly selected the shaving items and did the photo (since I promised Larry I would take a photo of the razor), also a photo of two bowls, showered, shaved, dressed, and drove to the appointment (2.1 miles away—Google says 7 minutes), arriving 10 minutes late. Not bad, all things considered.
The bowls are by Ross Spangler and we broke one yesterday and have lost another, so we want to replenish the supply. He suggested I send him a photo so he knows which bowls and he will throw more:
