Gorgeous razor

I love trying new stuff and today it’s the iKon X3 slant matted to a 80mm iKon bulldog handle. Very nice indeed. I own the Merkur 37C & 39C and enjoy them when they come up in rotation so I was looking forward to this one. Loaded it up with a Super-Max Blue Diamond Titanium and set about the shave.

Today’s soap comes from CBL Soaps - Ghost Pineapple which is a mentholated tropical smelling dream of a soap! So easy to lather and such an amusing scent. Cushion, slickness - amazing. A bunch of CBL Soaps have come to the den and I am looking forward to trying them all.

Set about the shave and between the absolute smoothness of the X3 and the scent and performance of the Ghost Pineapple what started out as a two pass “trial” ended up being a three pass BBS finish! Reached for the Stirling Weekend in Malibu AS which is a perfect match and nirvana achieved. Quick spritz of English Laundry Tahitian Waters EDP and we are ready for Saturday evening!

Wow, all the days chores rewarded with a fine shower and shave. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. Take care, safe travels and happy shaves all.
