SOTD March 2nd


Ikon SBS (aggressive side)
GSB(6)
Stirling Boar
Italian Barber Amici
Baxter of California Shave Tonic and ASB

Great first shave with the Ikon SBS AKA Mjolnir that jmudrick enabled me into. This razor head is massive and weighty, paired with the stainless steel IB halo handle this razor come in at a whopping ~4.1 oz, luckily you don't have to be as strong as Thor to lift it. I did three passes with the SBS, the first with the open comb side and the second two with the safety bar side. On the aggressive side of the base plate his razor features a substantial blade gap with plenty of exposure. There was definitely more blade feel on the open comb side but neither side felt harsh and even with a well used blade I was able to pull off a DFS+ shave with no irritation or touch up. I started feeling a little head cold coming on yesterday so I used the Baxter Shave Tonic followed up by the ASB to help clear the air ways (both contain a healthy dose of menthol and the Tonic has a good bit of eucalyptus). Have a great weekend my friends!
