Pre-Shave: Bleubeards Revenge
Shaving Soap / Cream: Razorock The Dead Sea

Aftershave: Davidoff Cool Water

Shaving Brush: Shavemac 26 mm. Fan Silvertip Badger DO1

DE-Razor: iKon 102
DE-Blade: Feather 2x


The Razorock The Dead Sea shaving soap was allowed to take immediate effect today and this is due to the curiosity about how the scent would develop when lathering.

And that was a great pleasure the beautiful scent of this soap remains very perceptible in the lather and also the shaving quality of the lather is very good.

And the eye wants some too and I think the picture on the lid is one of the most beautiful packaging there is at the moment.

Brush and soap:
Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm and Extro Dandy:
I don't know if it's any use preparing the skin with the Noxzema Protective Shave first, before a nice lather beat with the Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm from the Extro Dandy may be, but it is an addition to the ritual, which makes it more fun again. In any case I don't notice, that afterwards the skin feels much better. But I do think I notice, that I have to beat a stiffer foam, because the preshave makes the foam precipitate a bit. In any case it's nice and fresh and doesn't detract from the smell of the foam.
Blade and razor:
The Super-Max stainless for the 3rd x used. The Super-Max stainless is already starting to feel a little less effective. That after 3x is very quick for me! Tomorrow again and then I'll see. The Merkur 38C HD Long Handle Barber Pole is a very forgiving, but also less effective razor, which certainly does not improve the effectiveness of the Super-Max stainless. Well see, in the end I'm not a Super-Max fan either, but for the sake of science I keep trying. Result BBS.
Finally: after finishing and care with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Weleda Aftershave Balsam and Extro Dandy AS, this shave was again a pampering moment.
Now let it grow again for 24 hours, for the next one.
 
Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
TGS briar woods
Semogue boar brush
Liese + Treet carbon #2
Vdh alum
Dickinsons witch hazel
Epsilon scottish spirit, isana ultrasensitive balsem

First time use of the briar woods producers a nice lather. The Liese Treet combination was pleasant. I was prejudiced about the Treet blade, but I was totally proofed wrong.
