SOTD 18-24 December 2016

Barrister & Mann Rhapsody // Simpson Chubby 3 Best // Asylum RX // Myrsol Limón

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – iKon B1 Deluxe
Blade – Permasharp
Brush - 'The Archduke' (Brad Sears Archduke 26/50 2-Band Manchurian)
Soap – Soap Smooth - Jasmine Tea
Post - Witch Hazel, Trevarno Revitalising Face Oil

The iKon B1 Deluxe/Permasharp combo was incredibly efficient, ploughing through 4 days worth of growth, whilst the Jasmine Tea was faultless in all aspects of its performance.. yeah, ACE!!

Polsilver Blade
Wrisley Spruce Aftershave

One pass beard and head with the B1/Plus Platinum followed by two with the I1 /vintage Twins. I can't say I was wowed by the B1 at first go but the I1 with Twins achieves the highest levels of efficiency and comfort. Right up there with the AC equipped Hawk in terms of efficiency but without any fear of a blood feast. The feel is not dissimilar to that of a good cartridge razor but without the irritation I always experience with a multblade razor like a Fusion. Just great. And surprisingly to me, no problem with clogging even with the exclusive use of shave oil. The H1 and O clone so equipped may be smoother (I don't have an L) but I don't think as efficient. Dog's Danglies indeed. [Image: d1ec678c2a650a9d8b363d8a20d1f34d.jpg]
