Well today’s razor was a different kind altogether...today I grabbed the newly acquired SBS head which is the original design and not the newest iKon version. Now for those of you that don’t know the SBS is a OC on one side and SB on the other. Plus, you can flip the base plate between a milder or more aggressive blade profile. I went with the milder side first just to get a feel for it. The SBS head complete incloses the blade so there are no tabs poking out. All good but it does make for a pretty big profile. Loaded it up with a fresh Wilkinson Sword (Germany) to see how good it could be.
Today’s soap RazoRock Plague Doctor which is a great flowery scent and is perfect for this time of year. Crisp and clean. Lathered up a storm and went to work with the Simpson Colonel X2L.
The razor was indeed heavy but balanced well, the shaving angle was just a tad more than 30 degrees but I had no issues finding the sweet spot. First pass WTG was with the OC side and it was smooth and milder than I expected. Second pass was XTG both ways with the SB which was more aggressive than the OC side. Voila! Excellent DFS bordering on BBS. I will try the more aggressive side of the baseplate next time round. Take care, safe travels and happy shaves all.
