#SOTD – #tgif The Deacon has an Extreme Cold Fusion in memory of Ernie "#elf" Borraga 🪒💈🥶🧝‍♂️💈🪒

Another The Deacon Shaves YouTube video.

Hi everyone and Happy Friday #TGIF !! We made it through another week. Time to get ready for the weekend.

Besides needing some extreme cold today as the heatwave here in the middleofnowhere, Texas continues to break records, This week is #elf week on FB. Were shaving in memory of Ernie #elf Borraga. No , I did not know Ernie personally but from what I have read and heard he was a stand-up guy and brother in the wet shaving community. So Ernie, This one is for you. R.I.P , brother.

Let’s open the books on this shave:
Pre-shave – Hot Shower with @vanyulay7032 Exfoliating Scrub with @DouglasSmythe PAA Ice Tube
Razor(s) – Supply.co Pro
Alum Block – Osma
Bowl – The Deacon Shaves Prototype V2
Brush -@OMEGA Pro
Soap /Splash -@wettheface3525Cold Fusion
Balm – @dukecannonsupplyco Ice Cold
Cologne – @BarrettFragrancesOfficial Silver Fox

Here’s some notes: I’ve heard that Ernie liked it cold, so I had the soap in my refrigerator and the aftershave in my deep freeze for about 30 minutes prior to shaving. (freezer is set at -7 F ) If you have clogged sinuses , Cold Fusion will clear them. This has so much menthol. I even started to tear up !! Tears of mentholated joy !! It passed the residual slicknes test, no problem.
The Supply Pro performed well as always (as long as you follow the 4 Ls of using it – Load (the blade), Lather, Label (against your face to create correct angle, Lightly (no need to press hard, , let the razor do the work)

The Pro has 6 main settings and 30 microsettings. I like being able to dial in that precise. I was somewhere around f.4 (guestamate)
And after 3 passes, I was BBS.

The Silver Fox from @BarrettFragrancesOfficial is a awesome light scent in the vein of Grey Vetiver. Lovely way to finish this Ice shave.

Well That’s all for today.I hope to see you on Monday. I think we will go to Miami for this shave.

Be Good To yourselves and each other !
“If shaving isn’t one of the most invigorating parts of you day, then your doing it wrong”
Have a great weekend, and smooth shaves
