Helmsman shave cream - iKon B1 head 

When I saw RU-vid notification come up on my phone, I thought you were shaving with Hellman's mayo 😂

I just got and tried out an iKon B1 slant razor for the first time a couple days ago and it's pretty great. I would say that I'm a fan of of their products now.

I think when you do get to it, you’re really going to like the Gillette Pure cream. I was really surprised, being a regular soap user primarily. Great vid.

Well, thanks for taking one for the team, Michael! That cream didn't look like much fun to use. I tried some brushless cream a while ago and while it was effective, it just wasn't the same as a lathering product with a brush. Barrister and Mann Reserve Spice sounds really good. I've finished Reserve sets of Cool, Lavender, and almost done with Seville in Reserve. I will need to pick my next scent in Reserve. Cheers! -Rob

Nice effort with the brush-less cream Michael💈💈 Another sacrifice for your viewers😊 Are you going to give up on B&M, A&E, SV etc., to use this as your go to? Since you won't be needing your Capt. Choice Lather bowl, send it to me😉 I have an Icon OSS handle, but no experience with a complete razor. Good choice using a brush, looked good on camera for aesthetic reasons. Great video and comprehensive review as always👍 Enjoy!

Very nice shaving Michael, good evening

Fine effort with this cream Michael! I have had good results with the iKon B-1 head. Definitely no blade chatter; I suppose the tight milling tolerances are a factor. All the best. Zac

Great shave Michael. Ikon was around when I first started and they had a few razors that I wanted back in the day but I'm pretty happy with the razors I have today.

Ciao michal sempre belle sbarbate e prodotti interessanti

Great video enjoyed watching it !

I was expecting the brush to splay more naturally on your face. It has nothing to do with the Timberwolf 26mm knot which hits the sweet spot for me. PS I must win one of those kits you giveaway. Sound legit.

Hi Michael- Great shave and shave cream/razor reviews, with a well-planned and coordinated nautical theme 🙂; thank you! The brushless cream seemed like it did a nice job; definitely a nice travel option. The Plisson knot was a trailblazer, but I generally seem to prefer a Tuxedo knot, which hits a nice sweet spot for me. I hope you have a great week ahead and best regards, as always!

Hi Michael. I have two brushless creams(that I did try with a brush and without) and I`m not really a fan. As you said, not much cushion or enjoyable face prep with them. However they do the job. Don`t work to hard. Thank you.

Thanks for your weekly videos! They're a great eye-opening source for new and old wet-shavers. If limited to a synthetic brush knots, which do you prefer? I'm looking forward to getting the Yaqi 'Mink' brush that you reviewed (thanks to the 11-11 sale), but normally use a RazoRock Monster (with the Plissoft knot) and sometimes the Stirling 2-Band Synthetic (with a Tuxedo knot).

You know, I still use my original loccitane Plisson and I'm adamant that it's still the best synthetic brush out there, they simply got it right first time. I'm not a big backbone fan (not needed imo) so for lather generating and face feel it's simply unsurpassed. I have endless amounts of synthetic brushes nowadays and still rate it top. Yeah.

Here's an ocean themed thing that I think you might not have anticipated: that "light mint green" color of the handle as you called it could also be considered a seafoam green! 😂

The ikon b1 head looks exactly how I would design it - except I’m not sure what the point is of the recessed diamond underneath the blade - perhaps it is to make the head lighter. A shame that it doesn’t shave as good as some. Regarding that synthetic knot - it looks identical to the knot in my maggard brush. One small thing about that, I occasionally have to comb the knot because the fibers got a tendency to get fuzzy looking /tangled.

Nice one! Have you reviewed it vs the ATT Calypso R1? Any views on FOCUS Tritok R51/52?

A brushless shaving cream and a 1st comment on this channel entry for me! Wheeeee!

It would be interesting to see your opinion of spray shaving foams. Are there ones that you prefer or do you genrally avoid them?

Hi! What would be your pick over the b1?? Your favourite of all? Why? Thanks a lot!

I can see the appeal to that razor and I'm wondering you've got a chance to use it with some different soap? Just wondering if a different soap would make the razor feel much difference?

G'day Michael, Would you recommend the iKon B1 as a daily (every day) shaver?? because of the head looks the same as the Feather AS-D2 razor? can you compare both razor during your next shave before Christmas... Please!

Michael, Nice video. I always search, fully blade covered razor head. Please name any other "No overhang blade"razor like RazoRock. Maybe this is one of feature of luxury products. Thank you. Have a great week 🙏

Interesting watching this as some lather's look like someone's been in a custard pie fight, where-as, this is just like a film and no more, but I suppose it's mainly about what it does on the skin surface.

So it begs the question, what are your favourite synthetic brush knots?

What?! You're not giving us your valued family shaving heirlooms in these giveaway kits? You're so inconsiderate!
