Progress Shaving Brush (Vulfix) Limited acquired the Simpson brush brand in 2008.

I didn't know either. Had to do a search and found this:

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:

I really liked The Razor Company's stainless steel razor when I tried it:

It was out of stock for a while, but now it's available again:

Just to be clear: I get no consideration or remuneration from any shaving-product business. I just like to shave and I like good products. This razor is an example of one.

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.

First step in investigating a lather problem.

Lovely shave to start the day right — and ending with a balm.

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.

Amber Rose and white "Bakelite"

Great shave.

An Italian-themed shave with green-tobacco fragrance.

Grooming Dept Mallard Corretto shaving soap is superb, and I have to say that the Yaqi Knight Helmet razor is wonderfully efficient (albeit not all that comfortable).

A great shaving soap and a wonderful razor make for a fine shave.

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.
