    Nice Throwback Thursday shave. The Gillette Foamy is getting close to throwOUT time, and I'll look for a colder can(Barbasol Pacific Rush comes to mind). But it was a great setup for the shave itself. No Cuts, Knicks, Polka-Dots..always a good sign. One pass. Gabels always puts out good aftershaves, and the Lime is no exception. . Super Duper Outstanding.

    33 hours late afternoon shave
    06 Jul 2023 border.jpg
    Prep = usual but with cold tap water (hot water system is down for a few days)
    Cream = Tabac: bigger dollop than yesterday
    Brush = Old Vulfix
    Bowl = my old porcelain bowl. Tabac cream lathered up easily even in this smooth bowl
    Razor = Muhle R89, old trustworthy for this cold water shave
    Blade = GPB (2) still fine
    3 passes and a few clean ups

    ATG on the top lip was less comfortable with cold steel
    One minor weeper in my trouble spot Rt lower neck
    Post = cold water, Thayers, Brut. No Scent today

    Cold steel on cold face = a “different” feel
    Is it better? Not yet I don’t think. I least I know it can be done
    Good result, not the best, but fine all the same

    Hopefully gas leak and Hot Water are back tomorrow

    Ikon B1 Deluxe head.
    Ikon stainless steel handle.
    Astra SP blade (3).
    Above the Tie badger brush.
    Imperial Barber shave soap.
    Timeless Razor shave bowl.
    Irish Chestnut by Andy Hilfiger cologne.

    Excellent shave this morning. The Ikon Deluxe is an amazing razor head....a remake of the Gillette New Deluxe. I have a New Deluxe and I think the Ikon shaves a little smoother but don't tell Gary @brit . :D

    Happy Thursday everyone!

    July 6 SOTA

    Good afternoon.

    Straight Razor Shave #465
    7/8 J A Henckels Friodur
    MrEE Tuxedo Brush
    Chiseled Face Cryogen SS
    Proraso Green AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Beard Growth: 30 hrs

    20230706_165058.jpg

    It's still very warm on Long Island and I am glad that I decided to use Cryogen all week. I picked out my very sharp Friodur straight for today's shave.
    I went a little overboard on my lather, but that is ok because I covered whatever I didn't use for tomorrow's shave. Here is the lather:

    20230706_165457.jpg

    Did a 3 passer because I had more than enough lather and the über menthol coldness was what I needed. I achieved BBS, but did get 2 micro weeps. One just below the color portion of my bottom lip and one on my lower side chin above the jawline. Hit it with cold water after my first pass and hit with the alum to erase any trace. They really were tiny that cold water would have suffice, but I sometimes like to use the alum during the shave. After the shave, hit my face and neck with the alum and there was some slight feedback. Finished this shave with the cooling Proraso Green aftershave. Since I ran out of the CF Cryogen aftershave, I noticed that the menthol affect is not as strong and that is to be expected. Still, I am happy with the shave. Take care.
