    I was eyeing my iKon SBS this morning but reached for the General instead. The SBS is the original version based loosely on the PILS with an OC on one side and SB on the other. More on that one later. The General is a smooth shaver.

    DrJon’s 13 was the soap of the day. Vegan and really quite good. Love the scent and the lather. Also have their Flowers in the Dark.

    Easy two pass today was all that was needed. DFS/BBS. The Kai Captain Original is on its second use and has smoothed out nicely. Enjoy the sun if you can and your day!

    TNAC (Tom's Not Another Creation) Razor
    Feather Hi-Stainless Blade
    Surrey Boar Brush
    Barrister & Mann Latha Sandalwood
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel w/Rose
    Brut Classic Splash-On

    After getting this razor, I waited till the following day to shave with it, using the curved top. I decided to wait another couple days to use the angled top, to compare the shaves, using the same items for them. I really didn't notice any difference between the two caps. The angles were easy to find and while, it is a light weight razor, with the feather blade, it was very effective. And yes, two BBS shaves with two passes and minor touch up. I'm hoping to get two more shaves with this razor, but using a heavier handle for each top......................
