Brush and soap:
Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush and Kepkinh Frosty Lemon:
To get the Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush with nice cooling foam first a few strokes of the menthol mill into the bowl, when the Kepkinh Frosty Lemon is loaded and beaten. Now that soap is nice and fresh, but a little fresher foam was good this morning after yesterday's nice weather and the necessary dry white wines with the asparagus, which had to make it easier for us to raise them. So after some cooling of the Prep a little more dullness with this undercooled Frosty Lemon. In short, I'm smooth and up to speed again.
Blade and razor:
Used the Astra Superior Platinium for the 7th x. The Astra Superior Platinium did quite well, but time for a fresh blade. This one in the piggy bank after 7x. The combination Lord L6 with the Astra Superior Platinium is a real beginner's hit, but also a good secret weapon for dull old dudes. Result BBS.
Finally: further deep-freezing with Green Freeze (Osage/Menthol), Prep Skin Protective Cream and Loris E-048 Cool Water.
I am well awake again.

Can I give myself a nice shave...
Today it was time for the next tools.

Alum... No after shave today.
Result very nice.

By the way, the Gatlinburg keeps smelling a bit weird... can't put my hand on what I smell with this soap. Not dirty by the way, but not super tasty either.

Brush and soap:
LiJüN silvertip 3 band and Razor Master Sauli (Winter Coffee):
The LiJüN silvertip 3 band is starting to feel a bit floppy. I've had this brush for many years, can't say exactly, at least 20 years, but notice now that he has trouble loading the Razor Master Sauli (Winter Coffee). The foam becomes so nice and firm, that the backbone of the brush can hardly take it anymore. Well, nothing is for eternity. That Sauli is really a nice soap for cooler days with a full smell of cocoa and coffee. This smell is also beginning to unfold better, after having been used several times. Like to have some.
Blade and razor:
The Personna - Lab Blue for the 1st time used.
A fresh Personna - Lab Blue is again an eye-opener. Nice shaving that razor. Was already almost 2 years ago, that I used 1. It's in my list of good blades. The combination of the Fatip Piccolo Special Edition (SB) with the Personna - Lab Blue is such a dead safe shaving tool, that you can do almost no harm and still shaves nice and close.
Result: BBS.
Finally: finish with a completely Turkish line. Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Loris E-181 Noir Man.
