Welcome to another week, Gentlemen. This week is a "Free Week", so I'm hoping to try a black and white photo this week. Let's see you show you're creativity. Today, I was in a green mood. Also, I'd like to thank Bryan for the photography advice.

For my picture this morning I tried to highlight the blue in the shave. Everything else is black, white or a shade of grey. I think it turned out nice.

This morning I had my second shave with the iKon DLC slant............WOW. I am in love. This thing has great heft.....it feels so solid in the hand. The knurling is just fantastic and there is no worrying about the razor slipping. The razor just simply looks AWESOME. When I used it the first time on Saturday I got a DFS shave but got a bit of irritation on my neck after the third pass, which I didn't really need. This morning I did just two passes on my neck and took my time on both and my standard three passes on my face. No touch up pass. The result was a BBS shave. I cannot believe its possibly with two passes on my neck. This razor is just so efficient. This could be the RAD killer!!!( I doubt it).
The razor overshadowed the great Cavendish shave stick and he wonderful Thayer's Super Hazel. The post shave feel from the Cavendish is really exceptional. Cheers guys​

I had my 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] shave with the new RR Artisan Classic and used a different brush. Quick, easy, thick, cushioning lather again. Of course, the Slim and GSB continue to hold up their end too. Nice smooth, close, nick free shave. I finished up with Pino.
