Pre-Shave: Bleubeards Revenge
Shaving Soap / Cream: Biolijf Eucalyptus

Aftershave: Speick
Aftershave Balm: Speick

Shaving Brush: J&T Padoek finest 2-band badger Virginia Sheng

DE-Razor: iKon 102
DE-Blade: Feather 3x


I've already tested a lot of shaving soaps as many people here know and especially when a shaving soap says Bio on it, skepticism quickly develops.

I foresee thin watery foam or foam that melts away even faster than snow for a tropical sun and even more of that misery.

But this shaving soap does not at all comply with the above this soap simply gives a fantastic standing, protective and sliding foam.

The Eucalyptus scent, on the other hand, is different from the usually used fresh Eucalyptus scent in shaving land.
A somewhat earthy and dark scent Eucalyptus scent that you have to get used to but one that can absolutely enchant me and also in the foam remains beautiful.

I want to thank @jaap ouderwets scheren for sending me these.

Gladito (se)
Treet (1)

The first time I used a Treet it did not convince me at all. Today I wanted to put a Wyzamet in the Gladito, misgrabbed, ended up with the Treet and was in for a pleasant surprise. Quite a great shave.

Brush and soap:
Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle and Wickham Soap Sheridan's:
A nice spicy and somewhat caramel scented foam beaten with the Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle from the Wickham Soap Sheridan's. This soap is no longer available, but is deliciously full of fragrance, spicy with a sweet undertone, warm in character. Beautifully matching the gray skies of this morning.
Blade and razor:
The Captain Red carbon for the 6th x used.
The Captain Red carbon laid down this turn. Immediately at the first stroke did not feel as it should with this kind of blades. At the 2nd round XTG I gave up and took my Schick to hand. Whether it is the combi Mulcuto Schrägschnitt (plastic) with the Captain Red carbon, or whether the blade just ran out, I'm not sure, but shaving with the Schick was certainly not a punishment. I always have these ready for when things don't want to get smooth.I checked my database, but it's probably due to the knife, because my average for the Captain is 6.2 and most of the turns were without the skull.
Result: BBS.
Last but not least: nicely scented finish with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and as a spice toot Loris E-162 Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb.
 
Tabac tuesday

Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
Omega boar brush
Tabac shaving soap
Liese + treet carbon
Vdh alum
Dickinsons witch hazel
Clubman pinauld, isana ultrasensitive balsem

After @efsk remark about the treet carbon I was curious and put a Treet in the Liese. I had read on fora that these blades are dull etc. It was a nice shave. Maybe I don't have tough stubble. My face really felt nice and smooth after the shave.

That's telling us a lot.

It was a perfect answer to the question. The treet carbon steel.

So it is the Treet Black Beauty Carbon and that proves once again that Richard and I have a completely different feeling with blades.

This Treet I love to shave while the Voskhods do not charm me. And with Richard this is exactly the other way around. oh that always rising UEKAZ.
