So I so thoroughly enjoyed the iKon X3 slant last time out I reached for it again this morning. Quite glad I did because that smooth initial shave was readily at hand again today. Smooth shaver indeed. Again, I used the Super-Max Blue Diamond and it was quite comfortable in this razor.
Soap of the day Barrister and Mann Tuesday (yes, I know)...just something so apropos about the wonderful smell of lavender and violet on a sunny Tuesday morning in the Summer. Love the soap, performance and scent. The APS Shave Co 24mm Silk Smoke worked its lather voodoo nicely. Quiet soft with good backbone this one.
Set about the shave and decided on a simple two pass shave vs my normal routine of three. With the grain and against. Again, a BBS finish with one less pass. The X3 is now King of my slants.
Take care and happy shaves all.
