The iKon stainless-steel slant is a superb razor once you learn the angle. Great shave.

I don't think *every* shave can be "exceptionally good," but sometimes it seems like it — the result of excellent products, excellent razors, and a fair amount of experience. Today's shave was extremely pleasing which is the run of this particular mill. (Of course, using a good slant razor gives a definite assist.)
I do love the Superlant, and Meißner Tremonia's Exotic Elemi is not too shabby either, especially with my beloved Omega Pro 48.
I am finding I like dome-shaped shaving knots these days. I talk a bit about it in today's SOTD post:
A great shave is a fine start to the week, and this morning's shave used a great brush — "great" in size as well as quality.
Aces over 8s — a terrific shaving soap and a terrific shave, thanks also to my double slant on a two-day stubble.
Sardinian Honey and Floïd
Very nice shave today — the Parker Semi Slant is a fine slant. (I believe "Semi" is a weasel word to make the name less frightening.) And Floïd fragrance is awesome: old-fashioned masculine.
I don't know of a better shaving soap than Phoenix Artisan's Formula CK-6. This morning's shave brought a renewed appreciation of this soap.
