Day 6 of my journey through barbershops.
Today, my wife and I celebrate our 14th Anniversary. So for today, I went with my wife’s (and possibly my) favorite barbershop. Along with the Iberia 14.
I just recently made and installed these new Weru scales and topped it off with a brass wedge. I’m loving the look and feel.
The Frameback saga has been pushed back 1 day. Image

Day 5 of my journey through barbershops.
The Barbershop.
This little Frameback belongs to u/souleater7173. He sent it to me for honing and this was one I didn’t want to miss out on trying.
It’s a cool little razor. A 1st Gen Frameback from Sweden. Framebacks were originally made in Sweden starting in the 1870s as a way to compete with Carl Friedrich Ern’s Hexe machine, which allowed for the mass production of full hollow grinds.
A thin blank of high carbon steel was forged and given a small wedge taper so that the edge could have a thin, full hollow feel. An additional piece of steel was then added to the spine to increase its width in order to maintain geometry from spine to bevel for a shaving edge.
Eventually, a 2nd generation would be born from this original idea. Stay tuned tomorrow for the continuation of this saga. Image

That sounds like a great setup for a month! I’d like to grab some Jicky at some point.

- Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Caoba
- Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Caoba Aftershave Splash
This set showed up yesterday, alongside Armonia.
First time whiffing the scent and I thoroughly enjoy it. Dark and spicy, there’s a lot in here I enjoy. I need to grab the EdP. u/gcgallant you will probably really enjoy this one, if you haven’t checked it out already.
This 10/8 made by Roman Kamlash is probably the 2nd best shaver in my den. To some, the size seems intimidating, but really it’s super comfortable to handle and very easy to index. Some may struggle with keeping no pressure, as it is as heavy as an 8/8 near wedge. If you’re comfortable with that facet of technique, however, it shaves like a dream. Roman’s steel is top notch and rivals just about any out there, new or old.
Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation. Image

I just had this Armonia set land today, courtesy of u/chicagogroomingco, for my LG prize. Thank you again, Vida!
The scent is very nice, with a lot of tobacco leading the way, which I was hoping it would. Darkwing is super slick and pairing it with the Iberia is always a treat.

I ended up being super busy and didn’t have a chance for a shave until late. Even now I’m pressing it. I’ll be brief.
This was my first time with AYLM. I had a little trouble building my lather on my first pass. I think I under loaded. The chill was strong, but not too strong. The scent was better than I was anticpating. Not overpowering or, in a way, synthetic(?) smelling, like candies. It was pleasant and fits summer well. This could be a good scent for hitting a summer BBQ.
My second pass I loaded more and had better results. Primary and residual slickness were there. Nothing that wow’d me, necessarily, but nothing to complain about. If I wasn’t in a rush, I’m sure I could have gotten more out of it. Luckily, I have enough to try again.
My Splash pairing was less about scent pairing and more about vibe. It was just great summer scents all around. The scents did pair nicely, but that’s just coincidence!
Overall, good shave. I wish I hadn’t been in a hurry. Image

Barbershop day today! Went and got myself a Fresh Cut Fade. Dude I went to is solid and does clean work. Honestly, I should go to him on a regular basis. He’s very consistent. He can’t shave with an open blade
I also shaved off my full goatee today. Rocked that one for over a year. No trimming, 3 passes, no nicks. Still got it.
I’ll probably keep clean shaven for another week or so, then start forming another one. I enjoy wearing a goatee. The Mrs also likes me with a little facial hair too.

That’s a really nice shave! I almost went with RS and a 14 also, but I’ve been sitting on some Spanish soap all LG. My hand was forced.
- Comment on Monday SOTD Thread - July 1st, 2024 4 months ago:
Yeah, Shawn and Dennis just crush it when it comes modernizing those classic scents.
- Comment on Monday SOTD Thread - July 1st, 2024 4 months ago:
I really like the opening but I’m especially fond of the dry down. It’s really almost two different scents at that point, to my nose.

- Lather: Itakha - Malva-Rosa
- Post Shave: Noble Otter - Two Kings Aftershave Splash
First time trying out this Malva-Rosa. The scent is really nice. Pretty much just rose and geranium. I had a hard time sniffing out any of the Dragon’s Blood. Paired up super well with Two Kings.
Performance was great. Didn’t take much effort to build and wasn’t crazy thirsty or anything. Slicker than snot. Both primary and residual were great.
This Farvour just showed up from u/EldrormR. The Mags SHD are fantastic knots.
This Iberia is fantastic. I will go so far as to say it is the best feeling razor I have shaved with. Image

“Pinging” you two to address your comments on the mail call. Similar in feel to handling a GEM, but with a much gentler blade. Awesome shaver.

First go with this Lather Catcher and I love it! I just honed up one of the 3 wedge blades this evening. I could probably stand to dial it in a little more. All in all, fantastic shave though. I just love Lather Catchers.
- Comment on [Mail Call] C.V. Heljestrand Latcher Catcher 5 months ago:
Very steampunk indeed. From what I can tell, these were made by Heljestrand between 1900 and 1939. The lines along the back give me really strong 30’s vibes. The most steampunk looking decade!
- Comment on [Mail Call] C.V. Heljestrand Latcher Catcher 5 months ago:
It is. It has a little clip in the middle that holds the blades. From what I gather, you set the blade in the clip and pull the leather, then flip and pull it the other way. It’s cool. I’ll try to remember to grab a pic showing that this evening.
