Frameback IC Vincent Le Principal
VDH alum

The razor was freshly honed. It was sharp and smooth.
Oumo Tuxedo,
Razor Master Ari on ice,
Paradigm 17-4,
Gillette 7 O'Clock Permasharp Stainless (1),
Bruno Banani on ice,
Coconut oil.
Scent on the Ari is a little less than I had hoped for but it's an older badge ...
Still the lather and post shave feel is very good, so with a little drop of ice, metholated glycerine/grapeseed oil, I got a nice shave.
Enjoy your festivities, enjoy your family or enjoy a silent night!'

As a final hone I used an Ozuku for this razor. The final hone for the IC Vincent (a comparable french frameback) was a thuringian bout. Both razors are sharp, but the salles is sharper and I have to be more careful.
The Occam's Razor has been gifted to me from my Mom and the Soap was a gift of my wife.
So, what could be a better combo?!
A great Christmas Shave in 3 wonderful gentle passes. I will hold it short, the soap smells outstanding, performed like a champ (as it is typical for SV Soaps) and the Aftershave is Top notch too.
Have a fantastic time, enjoy your shaves and take care.
