Spice
The Grosvenor badger/boar combo brush did a fine job in lathering, but it’s one of those brushes that must return to the soap for each pass: not really a problem, and the lather was excellent. Three passes of the iKon with a Swedish Gillette blade and then a splash of Old Spice (though labeled “original” it’s not the Old Spice from 1956, I would say).
Michael, do you notice any difference w/ the short and long handled IKONs? thanks, Jon

Not in the shave, though clearly the short thick handle has more heft than the long thin handle. I like ‘em both.

I really love the handle on my Grosvenor 404. It is very robust. Interestingy, in use, the knot develops a natural “breech” or pocket in the center.
