Sunday Night:

iKon Bulldog razor with safety bars
Super Iridium blade

NOS Ever-Ready 300PST in badger
Art of Shaving Lemon shaving soap

Lather made in a bowl, as always.

Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel, blended with a bit of lather and massaged into the skin.


This brush was a gift from Morrie. It has a knot of approx 16mm and a loft that looks all of 60mm. It has no density and no backgone, yet it loads very quickly from a cake of soap and it makes lather in a bowl with amazing ease and efficiency. I am very pleasantly surprised and impressed with this brush.
