Brush and soap:
J&T® Bamboo Tuxedo Syntheet 24mm and Martin de Candre Agrumes:
Beautiful citrus with something earthy in the base in the brush. The J&T® Bamboo Tuxedo Syntheet 24mm together with the Martin de Candre Agrumes is wonderfully fresh with something basic in the fragrance. Not a super exuberant soap, but good quality with a solid smell.
Blade and razor:
The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus for the 3rd x used.
The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus plowed through nicely and was still in great condition for the 3rd x. Although the cheap Merkur clone, the Qshave, isn't very tightly finished, the Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus fits perfectly and it's a good range of mild to effectively adjustable scraper. My copy is fine and gave me another nice shave. Skull on 2, face on 3 and in 3 rounds smooth.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Finishing with the Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Mennen Baume Energisant and Loris E-048 Cool Water edp makes the whole nice and complete. Fresh and fruity start.

  • Merkur 39C
  • Lord Classic (5)
  • J&T Marblewood Tuxedo
  • Nordost - Smoked Orange
2 rounds and good enough (no energy left for a third round, used the remnants of the foam in the shower ;-) ), not exactly BBS, but near. The Classic keeps it up, i wonder if this one will break the 7 times that one gave me in the Charcoal, as it feels still sharp and smooth.
The J&T is marvelous and smooth in use, very nice brush, real soft tips, but still enough backbone.
The soap is a new one, forgot to post in the 'received by mail' section. Finally a soap with a good Orange scent, that stands up, it has a slight, very slight, bitter note (the smoked part?) but the Orange prevails, this one is a keeper, if you are into Orange scent, this one is recommended.

Brush and soap:
Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis and Mama Bear Ye Olde Barbershoppe:
The Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis is a nice brush, not too hard, not too soft and nice grip. Ok, it's not a Shavemac with a great backbone, but absolutely not limp. Now used 63 times and doesn't lose its hair. That was my only critique of this brush. When I complained about it to the supplier, I promptly got a new brush sent to me, so that was only used a few times on trial. Do I miss the hairs from the first brush? Absolutely not. Ergo pleasant brush, good service and I satisfied. The Mama Bear Ye Olde Barbershoppe let herself be whipped up with it to such a nice coherent glycerine foam, like bavarois. Smells nicely rounded, a bit sweet and powdery. Not exaggerated for an American soap, but nice to use every time.
Blade and razor:
The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus used for the 5th time.
Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus passed my 5 norm without any comments and now through for the top prize. In the Merkur 38C HD Long Handle Barber Pole, the Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus is still able to deliver a highly effective turn, although that razor falls into the pussy category. Sorry I mean for beginners.
Result: BBS.
Finally: A nice splash of Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, the self mixed Toco-Tholin Lavender ASB and as a scent of the day the Pinaud-Clubman After shave lotion Original over it.
