WSP test soap N
Omega boar brush
iKon standard plate razor
Shark blade (6)
Lucky Tiger balm

Second time with the WSP soap. New is the iKon standard plate razor. 

The soap performed well. An easily built lather and a slick shave.

The iKon standard head gave me a close shave. The reason for using this razor today was to test how the blade feels. I can verify that the blade feels rough on the face. Similar to the Gillette old type. I would not call it aggressive, just rough. I did not get any razor burn from the shave.

Wet Shaving Products (WSP) Test Soap
Omega Boar brush
Gillette Aristocrat (1947) razor
Astra blade (2)
OS Signature aftershave

Although the razor is new to me, the head design is not.  

The soap has no scent. I lathered it from the smallest tin I have ever seen.   The lather took a lot of water and bloomed densely.  It was durable, slick, and easy to rinse out of the razor.  

If MDC made an unscented, this would be it.  

I am going to use it again tomorrow.
