a bit difficult to find out the name of this razor .. the only thing that can be clearly read on the tang is "Novelty". Based on that, I suspect American. nevertheless a nice razor. Together with the Stirling Wintergreen and the V Sheng 30mm Silvertip brush a pleasant combination. The result is a mirror-smooth skull and face.
Almost weekend.. yehh.

Brush and soap:
Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush and Dead Sea Shave - Tempest:
They say a lot about Tempest's Dead Sea Shave, but for me it's a successful soap that delivers a good foam and has an earthy scent, but that's what you get with mud. Luckily there's also some fresh lime and a grassy nuance like a fougère. Think that last aspect comes from seaweed. Anyway, I like to shave with it. Not exciting, no fragrance bomb, or tingling fresh. No earthly, a bit Zen. Nice mud to wiggle the pig in. No. 1305 did that effortlessly. A bowl nice foam.
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte for the 2nd time used.
The Pfte 2nd x, there is little to say about it, except that it cuts hair. That in my favorite Gem razor is nice. Gets you a slick face.
Result: BBS.
Finally: The Pinaud Original is a strong scent, which can drown everything out, including the mud from the Dead Sea. Excellent closure, followed by a nice after-treatment with the Weleda.

The Scottish Fine Soaps Classic soap was more luxurious packaged than lathered up ...
The lather vanished, so I quickly grabbed the Stirling!

Enjoy the day!

My favorite Stirling Soap today. A fresh cologne scent. The combination of blade and razor is a good one: not the most effective but enough blade feel to avoid putting pressure. Have a good day!

OK is possible, but there are other words on the tang not like I told in my sotd Novelty but Cutley or something. see printscreen. (I couldn't change novelty after I posted ) edit : adjustment is possible immediately after installation, if there is a longer period of time between them is not possible.

Mixed yesterday, tested today. Cooling effect super, somewhere between Stirling Chill and Glacial. The main problem is and remains the Arko "scent" which still overshadows the Fine Platinum after 30min.
