Post: cold water rinse, proraso red asl
Another excellent shave with the ikon - was quite interesting to use it after yesterday’s shave with Gillette tech. Started with more confident approach and did end up with 4 or 5 weepers (no need for styptic or alum, so they weren’t too big). This razor does require respect - otherwise takes its toll by blood lol! love it!
@Satanfriendly you were completely right about it - gotta always be careful haha!
Soap performed excellent as always - love the Bakewell tart scent on it hah! Nice, cushioning and slick!
BBS on the face, dfs + on the neck. As noted - few small blood sacrifices , but an excellent shave nevertheless!
tomorrow will use the straight. Soon the lathergames start so a month full of themed shaves and majority of it, if not all, will be done with blackbird. It is my self imposed challenge in order to improve the technique. I bet I’ll be happy when July comes to have fun with all kind of different razors again!
