Brush and soap:
Omega 80097 and Elly's Svart Vikingaskip:
Elly's Svart Vikingaskip is the tastiest of the 3 I have from this soap maker from the Ukraine. This one has a nice smell of a sea breeze. Fresh, aquatic and not very chemical in the base. With the Omega 80097, a classic piglet with firm yet nice supple hair, it is easy to load and froth up. Pleasant foam.
Blade and razor:
The Personna - Lab Blue for the 4th x used. Personna - Lab Blue was surprisingly pleasant this time. Not that it's not good otherwise, but sometimes you'll find a combination, which is slightly different in a good or a bad sense. This is more than good, with the blade is half way from a piggy bank. In the Gillette New Made in England, the Personna - Lab Blue is so effective that with long slow strokes, the beard just comes off. Often I still have to scratch, but this is a not to be neglected combination. I think I should make a list of shaves, at least the combos that excel. Pretty interesting probably. Result BBS.
Finally, suitable finish with Elly's Svart Vikingaskip AS, Seinz. After Shave Balsam and Loris E-048 Cool Water.
Nice shave, scent approved by both of us, sun is shining, the day can't break again here between the meadows.
 
Free Friday's shave was:

Omega barber style boar brush
TGS Limone solid shaving soap

I looked forward to enjoy the smell of the soap. But the pig smell has not completely left the boar brush. It returned when whet.

Nice brush, slightly less softer than the Oumo Tuxedo, but more backbone and a far better grip, so I am happy with this one.

Have a good weekend!
