This razor is good but I am not very impressed by the performance. In my modest razor collection there are definitely better razors. However, this razor is friendly priced. So when you are looking for a good price-quality ratio, this razor is worth the consideration. Have a good day!

Brush and soap:
Omega 10019 and Mama Bear Sandalwood Rose:
My simplest brush, the Omega 10019 was allowed to beat with the Mama Bear Sandalwood Rose foam this morning. Well that is entrusted to that sturdy little pig! Nice thick lobed fragrant rose foam with some earthiness and woodiness.
Blade and razor:
The Rockwell Razors Swedish Stainless Steel for the 1st time used.
Although not a favorite, the Rockwell Razors Swedish Stainless Steel was quite useful. No idea who makes these blades, but they are usable on average, but not a top. Probably the combination Rockwell Razors 6s with the Rockwell Razors Swedish Stainless Steel is pretty well matched, but the best thing about it is the razor. Nice and smooth in 3 laps, that is okay, but with a Rapira PL it feels a lot easier.
Result: BBS.
Finally: The rozarium complete with PeReJa Rose edc, Regina Floris Rose Oil of Bulgaria ASG and Rose Fernelle Provence et Nature edp. Tasty roses today.
 
Actually yesterdays shave:

Omega Proraso boar
Pereira bowl
Palmolive Classic cream
Robuso 4712 5/8
Osma alum
Nuage asb
Mennen as

Not much to write home about. Was the first time with this cream...and the last. It does what it has to do, but thats it. There’s nothing for me that makes it nice or special. Not the scent, nor the performance. I’ve got more than enough other soaps and creams that i like much better. I gave it to my father-in-law.
3 pass shave. 1st pass felt harsh, 2nd and 3rd a lot better. Little to none irritation according to the alum block. Maybe the razor could do with a touch up.

Good shave today. The Lutz is a razor that is worth every single euro I paid for it. The Timor only makes it better. Have a good weekend!

Brush and soap:
Omega 80097 and Proraso Red:
A simple turn this morning, which I've had in rotation for years: Omega 80097 with Proraso Red, yes chemical sandalwood with lots of clay. But it foams and shaves!
Blade and razor:
The Rockwell Razors Swedish Stainless Steel for the 2nd time used.
The blade from Rockwell Razors Swedish Stainless Steel does its job, not good, not bad, but middle of the road. The combination of the Timeless Solid Bar scalloped 0,68 with the Rockwell Razors Swedish Stainless Steel provides an acceptable shave, but by the grace of the Timeless.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Soap residue neutralized with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün. Then hydrate and care with the TFS Crazy Sandalwood ASB, after which the Proraso Con Olio di Sandalo AS is the fragrance for the day. Short day.
