•D R Harris Windsor soap
•Ever-Ready 200M boar brush
•iKon Slant razor
•Astra SP blade (6)

A closer shave yesterday came at the price of some nicks. Having some difficulty with the area right under my nose due to the width of the razor head; the blade is some distance from the edge of the razor. Anyone else having this problem?

•iKon Slant razor

After a week with the Gem Micromatic Open Comb, it is time to return to the iKon Slant.

•EverReady C40 boar brush

•Proraso green tub soap
•Kingsley badger brush
•iKon slant razor (1)
•Astra SP blade (1)
•Proraso aftershave
Lather the Proraso thick. Here comes the long awaited iKon Slant. Still in very short supply the hunt is like the hunt for the Cabbage Patch Doll. I usually don’t participate in the almost futile attempt to snag items in short supply. But, for this one, I calmly placed the order with Bullgoose, and waited for delivery.
Here it is.
My full review will be after a week or so of use, but I can say that it does make a lot of noise as it works and I was ready to shave with it again as soon as I finished the first shave.
The Astra blade seemed like a good first choice since I know its sharpness and Astras perform well in all of my razors.
Proraso start and finish, what could be better?

•Tabac!
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•iKon open comb head with Shavecraft bulldog handle
•Shark Super Chrome blade (3)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave
Tabac is a great start with thick easy to build lather and a scent that is solid and classic (and I can’t describe it).
The iKon head is configured to provide an efficient and close shave.
Clubman is a great finish to any shave.
I am waiting for the iKon Slant. Maybe Thursday. Phil at Bullgoose has been great with keeping me informed.
I also have a Fatboy on the way. It is going to be a good week.

•D R Harris Windsor soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•iKon open comb head and bulldog handle razor
•Shark Super Chrome blade (2)
•Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla
Second day with the iKon Shark combination. The Windsor soap provides excellent lubrication. The razor is a bit on the aggressive side, so I need to watch my technique.
Classic Vanilla is a great way to end a shave.

•Pre De Provence soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Ikon Open Comb head, Bulldog handle
•Shark Super Chrome blade (1)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave
The iKon Open Comb is a great razor. Added to my toolbox is the Bulldog Handle. The handle I bought with the OSS head was too long for my liking. The Bulldog handle is just right for me.
Pre De Provence is always a refreshing soap. The OC razor worked efficiently with the Shark Super Chrome.
The Clubman is always a great finish. A scent that you might remember from childhood, a visit to the barber, a scratchy neck from the hair, …and the scent of Clubman.
