Today's Shave...

~ Today's Shave, October 8th, 2010 ~

Prep: Hot shower, Dark Roast, streaming Grateful Dead via Pandora on iPhone
Cream/Soap: Edwin Jagger, Sea Buckthorne Cream, last of my sample
Brush: Shae Moisture, aka Target Special
Razor: iKon Deluxe, Open Comb Prototype / Prototype Long Handle
Blade: Personna Red
Balm: Kiehl's

iKon week continues...  I determined the Standard head is either going to be passed on to someone else or put in storage.  If I want a mild shave, I'll reach for a SS.  I switched to the Prototype open comb head, with a Personna Red with three shaves on it and I am back to the closeness I want in my shave..  Though, I do have a bit of irritation on my neck likely a function of a bit of unneeded pressure written into muscle memory from the prior shaves with the Standard head...

I beat up my face a bit this week.. I think I'll spend next week with my Mergress or Fat Boy and let my skin recover.
