New Year's Evening Cold Water Shave

Pre: Shower, CeraVe face wash
Soap: A&E Sol Cal Hipster
Brush: 24mm 2BED APShave knot, WildWestBrushworks 'SubZero' handle
Razor: Homelike Start 0.69, Bulava handle
Blade: Polsilver SI (1)
Post: Cold water rinse, Thayers Cucumber WitchHazel, Stirling Unscented Balm
​
No photo for this one as it was late. I've used the 0.69 plate a couple of times, and have had great results. Although the brand new Polsilver SI felt a bit tuggy in this set up? The Nacet which preceded it felt much smoother, bizarre as the Polsilver had been awesome with the 6C.
Anyhow, a DFS was achieved with no redness or irritation. Face feeling smooth, all ready for work.
Have a great day gents

Today's shave is almost a photocopy, of yesterday's one to be ascribed to fragrance addiction!

Instead of a short Silvertip knot a standard Finest's one and, instead of a mild razor another mild razor, but with an extra gear.
Armed with a pseudoscratchy efficient Müster, it behaved with convinced determination.
For the second pass and the finishing I chose instead a green SOC, much milder.

As I was getting ready to shave, looking out of the window, I saw a foggy darkness broken by the gleam of the only streetlamp we have here (having two would make this lost plaga look like Ginza St.), which reminded me of the atmosphere of 'The Third Man'.
Could there be a more exciting sensation: Orson Welles sitting on a small armchair (for whose safety I would have feared, but... what the hell!) talking to me with his deep voice while I shaved?

The experience would have been well worth a fake Chippendale chair! (Yes, I know something similar has already been said and this is not plagiarism: this is a tribute to the Great Opportunist!).

The photo, it goes without saying, was contracted!
