Brush and soap:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and TFS Neroli Strong:
The J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm is a brush, I appreciate it more and more. That Uomo bun is a real hit, nice backbone and at the same time nice and soft tips. The firm customhadvat has just the right proportions for this bun. orse brush with which you can easily work in a bowl, but also easily heads. My favorite of the first hour is the TFS Neroli Strong. I don't know if this is still for sale, but luckily I still have a whole pot, so I keep enjoying the citrus.
Blade and razor:
The Personna - Lab Blue for the 8th x used.
Personna - Lab Blue remains usable even after 8x, so tomorrow again and then I think the last time. Above The Tie S1 with Personna - Lab Blue is a comfortable and soft shave. Very forgiving slant combination.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Splash of Turkish lemon and Pinaud-Clubman Citrus Musk Eau de Cologne for the freshness and basic scent. Pamper the skin with the Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion. Then the Loris E-048 Cool Water is the icing on the cake.

A quick and makeshift shave sitting on a chair next to the bed.
Absolutely not smooth but most of the hair has disappeared from the face again.

Brush and soap:
M Ceramic APShaveCo flat top synthesizer and Wars:
Wars is a simple cream from Poland. Costs little there, but is better than e.g. tubes Palmolive etc., which are here in the super. Has a woody and tobacco smell. Great to shave with. With M Ceramics APShaveCo flat top synthesizer I easily beat a bucket of foam with it.
Blade and razor:
The Personna - Lab Blue for the 9th x used.
The Personna - Lab Blue is after 9x really over the top. So still neatly shaved and then it disappeared into the piggy bank. The Ikon X3 slant is a reasonably good shaving razor, but not like a 39c slant from Merkur. Somewhat lack of character. That also makes the Personna - Lab Blue ripe for replacement.
Result: BBS.
Finally: the Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün goes well with the Wars soap and Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü also goes well with the scent. Closing with Wars Classic EnergetyZujaci AS and everything is nicely taken care of again.
