December 6th - December 12th

Proraso white preshave
M-keramiek scuttle
Zenith boar
Cella shaving soap
Knockout razor, Voskhod #1
De vergulde hand alum
Humphrey's cucumber mellon witch hazel
Tabac as, De vergulde hand balsem

First shave with the knockout. People who say it is a great razor, are spot on. Two pass with some touch up and I'm cleanly shaven.

@Rudolf1 great looking grelot.

Brush and soap:
Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle and Calani Bay Rum:
This morning another out of book shave. Everything was right, starting with the foam produced with Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle from Calani Bay Rum. Firm and elastic Bay Rum foam.
Blade and razor:
The Sputnik Vintage 1987 used for the 4th time.
The Sputnik Vintage 1987 remains excellent on cut. A new razor, the Dscosmetic T7 316L SS with titanium handle, in which the Sputnik Vintage 1987 combined very well. This razor is really a top notch scraper. Not too effective, just a dot less, than my Game Changer, but it certainly does shave equally well. The T7 has an gap of 0,7 mm compared to the GC 0,84. Nice addition. The parts are also interchangeable, let's find out if that affects performance.
Result: BBS.
Finally: pleasant after the Calani Bay Rum Rebul Dark Spice, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Pinaud-Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum. Tomorrow such a turn again, but with the top plate of the Game Changer.

The parts of Game Changer and DSCosmetic appear to be interchangeable.
No differences in shaving, but less nice looking ... ;-)

The Krytyk, that I used with a shim @Clouds made for me so injectorblades would fit, is an efficient, slightly aggressive razor, that delivered a BBS shave with one stroke down, one up. I'm impressed.

Brush and soap:
Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm and TFS Corte Sabauda:
Time to untangle the Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm again. A disadvantage of horsehair brushes is, that the hairs are easily tangled and a harder feeling is created in the middle of the brush. The foaming of the TFS Corte Sabauda worked well and gives you a nice fragrant foam. Beautifully floral.
Blade and razor:
The Sputnik Vintage 1987 used for the 5th time.
The Sputnik Vintage 1987 reaches my 5 norm nicely, but think that the next turn (6) is the last one. Maybe that's because I tried the Dscosmetic T7 316L SS titanium handle with the top of the Game Changer and that feels like an R41 just not 2011, but absolutely 2013. The Sputnik Vintage 1987 is slightly less pressed on the bottom plate than with the original top plate, which makes it surprisingly effective. The second round the original top plate was back on and that's damn comfortable. Finest razor in the original configuration.
Result: BBS.
Finally: floral and fragrant finish with the PeReJa Lavender edc, TFS Corte Sabauda ASB and Loris E-164 Laura Biagiotti Roma. Totally good again in the end.

Another nice shave with the knockout. Two pass with some touchup. Not everybody in the house agrees with the use of the classic as. It is an aramis clone.

Brush and soap:
Mühle Silvertip 3 band and D.R. Harris Lavender:
It was all right again this morning. Despite the fog and cold outside, a vision of purple Provencal lavender fields in the bathroom. Foam beaten with the Mühle Silvertip 3 band of the D.R. Harris Lavender. This firm cream is just right for the somewhat floppy badger. Yet a nice fragrant bowl of foam.
Blade and razor:
The Sputnik Vintage 1987 for the 6th x used.
The Sputnik Vintage 1987 has a surprisingly smooth shave again. Thought yesterday it is at its end, but it flashes through the beard hairs again. Must be the quality of the Paradigm Diamondback, which makes the Sputnik Vintage 1987 do another round. Tomorrow apparently again.
Result: BBS.
Finally: with PeReJa Lavender edc, last bit of Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion, of which the tube now disappeared in the bin and L.T. Piver lotion Lavande finished.
Sweet dreams of real lavender fields.
