Brush and soap:
J&T® Essen Jiamei Cosmetic imitation bristle 24 mm and Einseifer Wiener Duft:
While I was stirring in the Einseifer Wiener Duft this morning with the J&T® Essen Jiamei Cosmetic imitation bristle 24 mm, to turn this hard soap into a nice lather, it occurred to me, that I can classify all of these types of soaps under barbershop scent. To me, a lot of soaps smell fresh soapy Mediterranean. I associate that with barbershop. I have quite an assortment of them. Nice, but also 13 in a dozen. This one in any case lathers well and with its fresh light floral scent is absolutely pleasant to use.
Blade and razor:
Used the Carrefour Personna? for the 2nd time.
The Carrefour Personna? does a great job, nice tight cut. Fine blade, which I am pretty sure comes from the same line, where also the Personna Reds in Israel come from. Nice forgiving combination, the Gillette Tech with Carrefour Personna?, with which I shave smoothly.
Result: BBS.
Finally: refresh with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, groom with Abzehk Avocado cream and fresh Loris E-048 Cool Water scent.
Ready for another day.
 
My brad sears/morris&forndran xl1 made great lather of the ToBS lavender cream, and the broken vintage 37 with a Voskhod I should have replaced mowed away almost a week of whiskers like it was nothing. Perfect quicky.
 
Pre-shave:- Cold Shower
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Brush:- Semogue SOC 2 Band Finest Badger in Ash Wood 24/53mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Tabac (tallow)
Razor/Blade:- Merkur 34G / Gillette Minora Stainless #17
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Invite E High Potency Pure Oil (10 drops), Natural Plant Glycerin (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5)

Aaaaaaaaaah Tabac, GOD ALMIGHTY!!, I love this old tallow formula, I'm all stocked up for a very very very long time supplies of Tabac tallow formula in my den.

Sorry non-tallow vegan crap, I am not touching the new non-tallow Tabac until I RIP.

Brush and soap:
Yaqi R1605-S Tuxedo and La Maison de Marseille Tonifiant:
Another one of those nice fresh floral soaps that evokes barbershop-like impressions in me with a nice Mediterranean note: La Maison de Marseille Tonifiant. Nothing special or outstanding, just pleasant shaving soap. The Yaqi R1605-S Tuxedo turns it into a nice firm lather. Fine foam that is good to shave with.
Blade and razor:
Used the Carrefour Personna for the 4th time.
The Carrefour Personna is still nicely on cut. The Apollo OC with this Carrefour Personna? Is an effective combo, no fuss. A simple good shaving razor. So, nice and smooth.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Cien Men Hydro Age Q10 and Loris E-164 Laura Biagiotti Roma on it and again completely satisfied and well shaved.
