Shaving Soap: Prep
After Shave Balm: Treufitt & Hill West Indian Limes
Eau de Toilette: Treufitt & Hill West Indian Limes
Shaving Brush: Yagi 30mm. Syntheet
Safety Razor: Paradigm 17-4
Razor Blade: Gillette Nacet
For some people this may sound familiar, but I've really touched on the discipline here to actually empty products from the "Empty to make program".
So today the Prep Shaving Soap and the Treufitt & Hill West Indian Limes were used again.
Are these lesser products??........no absolute not even but the Prep loses a bit of its scent and instead of the T&H new bottles are waiting for impatience to be opened.

M Keramiek APShaveCo flat top synthetic and The Dutch Barbershop Herbal Grinded Lemon:
Not experienced before, but this morning I was suffering from disappearing foam. All as usual and yet the whipped up foam of the Dutch Barbershop Herbal Grinded Lemon pulled away after applying it to the face. In the bowl fine foam, however, smear, but instead of tugging it was pulling away. After the first round the brush was loaded and whipped up again and that went better, but not as usual. Strange, I don't have an explanation for this and hopefully it is an incident, because I always liked the soap.
Blade and scraper:
The Tip Personna? used for the 3rd time.
The blade is doing well. Nice smooth shave, no irritation and no angular sensitivity. The old Fatip is a very direct shaving razor, or the blade is good and the combination behaves well, or the combination bites. This morning the first one.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Beautiful Turkish lime to stimulate and freshen up. Then the usual care with balsam to soothe the skin. Another nice smell. Ready.

Don't hesitate to order these with peace of mind because they are high quality shaving soaps.
I have had the Faena Rodon and have had very pleasant shaves with it.

Shaving Soap: B & M Arctique
After Shave : Arko Cool
After Shave Balm: Williams Aqua Velva Fresh Control
Shaving Brush: Shavemac silvertip 28 mm. 2 bander Flat.
Safety Razor: Paradigm 17-4
Razor Blade: Gillette Nacet
Finally I think after all those years of diligent searching to have found my ultimate shaving brush because guys what is my new Shavemac 28 mm. a delicious lather monster.
And then he needs a few more times to fully develop himself so that promises something.
And now an old joke to throw at it for the insiders.
Now that the temperature is rising again, the B & M Arctique was allowed to cool the face.
But I was so impressed by my new shaving brush that I forgot to count the number of laps the shaving brush had made in the shaving soap.
So I squeezed the shaving brush out again and cleaned it under the tap, and then I kept a very careful eye on the 25 laps you had to make to get a good lather.
