Mühle open-comb and a great shaving cream from the past
A commenter suggested a comparison on the Mühle open-comb with the iKon open-comb, so today is the Mühle’s day: a very smooth and comfortable shave, thanks in part to the excellent lather from the Tryphon Violet shaving cream—the Lucretia Borgia synthetic-bristle brush did a great job, and Tryphon shaving crams are excellent. You’ll notice that Giovanni used no dye in his formulation.
The shave was smooth and quite comfortable—the previously used Astra Keramik Platinum blade still did a great job. The Mühle is considerably lighter than the iKon: 1.7 ounces vs 3.1 ounces for the iKon. Tomorrow I’ll use the iKon and get a closer comparison.
A splash of the wonderful New York aftershave, and I’m good to go.
