Brush and soap:
J&T® Padoek finest 2-band badger Virginia Sheng and Plantes&Parfums Provence Eau du Ventoux Savon à Barbe:
The day started with a delicious South French scented soap. Plantes&Parfumes Ventoux fills your bathroom with the fresh scent of lavender, herbes de Provençe and lightly scented soap. I love that. Beautiful artisan badger hair brush. Good foam in the bowl of M ceramics.
Knife and blade:
The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus for the 1st x used.
Got the Rubie yesterday to remove the last beard remnants and now I'm working with it. That promises a lot of good for the coming days, flashy blade. The New Made in England is such a beautiful lightly shearing razor, in which the Rubie is completely in place. Great combination!
Result: BBS.
Finally: Splashing with the Rebul Lavanda, until everything smells well to the purple flowers, some ASB to let the skin hold some more moisture. To fix the smell nicely on the smooth head another puff of lavender from Panier & Sens and I was completely smooth and satisfied again.
 
@Snuff This brush is on its way to the King's house, how do you like it?

@Teiste Oxford & Cambridge ever get one of @Snuff and still one of the most beautiful Lavender scents I've ever smelled.daumenh!

Today I was still talking about nostalgia and there is de Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap.
And despite the warning from @Hellas , I am very much thinking about using this morning again.:rolleyes:
I'm not completely crazy so the glycerine is already ready to add a few drops to the soap for the much needed care. :kaputtlachen1
 
Morris & Forndran Style 3, Size 2 in Finest, Ivory Grain
Le Pere Lucien - Rose de Pushkar
Archdale (s)
Voskhod (5, banked)
Alum

This beautiful oriental Rose smell is one of my favorite soaps. Also one of my favorite brushes today, so that part was perfect.
Not very often that I use the same razor five times in a row, but this one has such extensive configurationpossibilities that it is impossible to try it less often. Today in a regular slanted position, the wtg-pass with the "close shave" side, second, atg pass, with the "once over" side.
Great results, no problems.
 
I think I'll make this a Calani week :)

  • anbbas brush

  • Tüff No. 1

This blade is just spectacular. Keen, sharp, gentle and smoothness in perfection rasierensmilie

The soap is just wonderful, as all Calani soaps are. The smell reminds me of Christmas and gingerbread. So it's not perfectly fitting to August/Summer, but this morning it felt just right.

Have a nice day gents

Saponificio Varesino Felce Aromatica After Shave

The Gamechanger easily tooks down 2 days of growth. The combination with the Voskhod is a realy good one for me.

For me as a daily shaver two days of growth is an exception. However, after shaving two days growth of, it seems the skin even feel closer and softer. Have a good day!

Brush and soap:
Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis and Mama Bear Sandalwood Rose:
MB Sandalwood Rose has a deliciously subtle but at the same time present scent of indeed rose and sandalwood. For me this is a very pleasant fragrance in the series of soaps that smell like nature. In addition, there is the pleasant characteristic of glycerine soap. Lovely foaming stuff. The Maseto made a nice foam with it. Lots of fat and firm foam in the brush. More than enough for 3 extended rounds.
Blade and Razor:
The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus for the 2nd x used.
The knife ran beautifully over the MB and through the beard. Excellent cut. The forgiving Fatip SB is an uncompromising razor, but it shaves very accurately. Nice addition to my den.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Finishing with the whole line of Rose of Bulgaria, leaves a beautifully cared for skin with excellent rose scent.
Nice.
