A perfect shave today. The G.B. Kent BK4 did its usual wonderful job working up a fine lather from Standard Cement shaving soap, whose ingredients are:
Vegetable Stearic Acid, Distilled Water, Organic Coconut Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Vegetable Glycerin, Argan Oil, Natural Plant Essential Oils And Extracts, Cocoa Butter, Bentonite Clay, Rhassoul Clay, Activated Charcoal
As noted earlier, the soap was developed in cooperation with LA Shaving Soap Company, so it is a very nice soap indeed. It’s also quite thirsty and I had to add water a few times just in loading the brush, and a little more as I worked up the lather on my beard. I suspect it’s the presence of clay that results in the need for water.
Three easy passes to a perfectly smooth face. The iKon Shavecraft #101 is a superb razor (and for those seeking good gifts for a man who shaves, this razor is an excellent candidate).
And the shave got a nice finish with a good splash of Prospector Co.’s K.C. Atwood aftershave, a witch hazel and aloe vera blend with a fragrance of sandalwood, orange, and grapefruit.
