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 Framebacks were originally made in Sweden starting in the 1870s as a way to compete with Carl Friedrich Ern's Hexe machine, which allowed for the mass production of full hollow grinds.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.
Vote is in! Thanks for the nudge
That sounds like a great setup for a month! I'd like to grab some Jicky at some point.

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.
Yeah, Shawn and Dennis just crush it when it comes modernizing those classic scents.
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.

- Brush: Farvour Turn Crafts w/ 26mm Maggards SHD Two Band Fan
- Razor: Iberia 14 Doble Temple 8/8, Extra Hollow Square Point
- Lather: Itakha - Malva-Rosa
- Post Shave: Noble Otter - Two Kings Aftershave Splash
I had to take a small break to focus on LG. I can only handle so much typing. Even if it's just to copy and paste.
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 really good. 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 amazing. I will go so far as to say it is the best feeling razor I have shaved with.
