Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Cella Shave Soap
SlimGem 3D Printed Badger
TNNSER 3D Printed Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Cella After Shave Balm

The Cella Shave Soap lathered well with the SlimGem 3D Printed Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER 3D Printed Razor by Tom and the Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I am unable to get a close shave with my C. V. Heljestrand Eskilstuna Kindal. I feel it is too mild, also I'm used to Feather blades on unmentionable head, which gives me an almost perfect bbs without irritation. What would be the most similar model to this combination, in order to get the closest shave possible?

Fuzzy was here.

You'll never fool anyone that it's potato, but for folks on a low carb diet it's one way to have "potato" salad again. Let's see, no potato salad or this "potato" salad... Hmmm? It's actually pretty decent. Would Kohl Rabi or Jerusalem artichoke work? IDK. 
CAULIFLOWER POTATO SALAD (KETO & HEALTHY)
This easy cauliflower potato salad tastes like regular potato salad, except it's keto, gluten-free, and just healthy. Make it in 15 minutes!

INGREDIENTS

1 head Cauliflower (cut into small florets)
2/3 cup Mayonnaise
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/3 cup Onion (finely diced)
1/3 cup Celery (sliced thinly or diced) (or fennel)
2 large Eggs (hard boiled, chopped)
Chives (optional, for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS
Cook the cauliflower on the stove or in the microwave.

Stove method: Boil a pot of water with a tablespoon of salt. Add the cauliflower, and simmer until very tender (about 5 minutes). Drain well and let cool. Note: expect this to take longer, more like 10 minutes or more. You want the veg' to be soft and not crunchy. But that might depend on the size of the pieces.

Microwave method: Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of water. Microwave on high for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Drain well and let cool.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, until smooth.

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, diced onion, sliced celery, and diced egg.

Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well.

If you have time, refrigerate the cauliflower potato salad for at least 1 hour to let the flavors develop. (This is optional.) If desired, garnish with chives and additional paprika.

Notes:

MY RECIPE TIPS
>Cut the florets small. Smaller florets will more closely resemble potatoes. Plus, I like that they cook faster.
>Cook the cauliflower until very soft. I’m all for crisp-tender for many of my cauliflower recipes, but for this particular recipe, extra softness will give your cauliflower potato salad a texture that’s closer to potatoes. Don’t stop cooking too early!
>Fold or toss the salad rather than stirring. Since I recommend very soft cauliflower, I find that it can get a bit mushy if I stir it.
>If you have time, refrigerate for an hour. This is not required, but will let the flavors develop more. I often like to make this salad ahead anyway.
>Change it up with dill pickles or bacon! If you like these flavors in potato salads, you’ll like them in this cauliflower potato salad, too. Just mince the pickles finely, or crumble oven baked bacon and add to your taste.

The Rolls Razor was a safety-razor made by British company Rolls Razor Limited from 1922 to 1958. I got my first one back in 2013. It had a 1947 blade in it. I did not consider it as a safety-razor because I considered the safety bar just a kick stand to protect the blade when setting it down. However, I have modified my view and now consider it a safety-razor. 

I used this one for years despite the cracked stone.

    

In 2018, I found a Rolls Traveler. It was in very good shape and even had a blade that was never used. The blade is marked 53 for 1953. This is the Rolls I use now. It is a very good shaver.

    

I've been looking for a for a gem Junior bar with the wooden handle and scroll lettering ever since I saw Jayaruh's video with his. This lot came up, and I won. I cant wait to give it a shave Sunday!

Let's remember we do not in anyway discuss unmentionables. We let it slide a bit on introductory post. There was a post somewhere that had way to much unmentionable chatter. I can not find it now to fix it. This is a single edge (safety razor) and injector only forum.

Finally - an AutoStrop A1 !!!!!  
And a nice Schick Type G Set to sweeten the deal.
