@Hellas how are the soaps of Faena? I almost ordered them a few times but cancelled at the last moment.

Was a mistake to cancel.. I find them very good although Fokion, the owner of Faena, raised the price remarkable over the last years. However, the Soaps are still of my favorites and only matched from Anas Soaps (Soap making adventure) witch unfortunately stopped Produktion for a while as she got married and helps her husband in his shop.
 
Today in the morning I had the following Shave
  • Floid pre Shave Oil
  • Faena Esperia
  • Simpsons Colonel
  • ERN Crown & Sword 1166 6/8“ stropped on
  • Scrupleworks Oil tanned harrow Horshide strop
  • Hellas Lemon ASL
Great razor and the Scrupleworks strop impresses me more and more.

I remember Richard (efsk) once said that it's a crime to unsharpen a point, "you better learn to shave" :)
I repeat that very often, not in the least at those times I think it would have been better had I blunted my razor :lol

Pre-shave:
Vitos Menthol
Shaving Soap: I Coloniali Mango
After Shave Balm: Treufitt & Hill West Indian Limes
Eau de Toilette: Treufitt & Hill West Indian Limes

Shaving Brush: Shavemac silvertip Fan 28 mm. 2 bander
Safety Razor: Paradigm 17-4
Razor Blade: Gillette Nacet

I doubt, yes I really doubt, should I once again this more than fantastic shaving soap with its so incredibly delicious scent here again extensively to go to admire?

Oh well don't let me do it, because then no one has to be disappointed when he reads that it is no longer available. :D
 
So the first time using my (new to me) Nakayama, i used my practise razor a #49 F. Herder with a new plastic scales and w wedge.

Progression 3/5K Naniwa super stone, Nakayama with TBN, Mejiro, Koma and a new tomo nagura.

Shave was very nice, used a Shavemac DO1 2 band 24 mm with MDC Argumes a very nice citrus soap and after a used a resfreshing Osaga Rub.

A nice start learning this new stone, a good weekend everyone :)

Brush and soap:
Semogue SOC Badger Cherrywood and Le Père Lucièn - Rose de Pushkar:
Roses this morning. Roses to start the journey through Germany, which starts today. Nice brushing with the SOC Badger by the LPL Rose de Pushkar. Lovely soap. There are stronger rose scents, but this one is very refined and lingers for a long time! Shaves also, a plume for the rose.
Blade and razor:
The Tip Personna? used for the 4th x.
The Tip is still in shape. Not a flashy and very special blade, but easy to shave with. In the Timeless 0.68 a very forgiving combination. A bit heavy, therefore, you should make sure that it does not press too much on the skull, but otherwise fine.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Rubbing on and spraying with roses and ASB, a nice start of a day of travelling to the first campsite not far from home, Borger, to explore the province of Drenthe a bit more closely.
