Brush and soap:
LiJüN silvertip 3 band and The Art of Shaving Ocean Kelp:
For the Polsilver test with the LiJüN silvertip 3 band a nice fat foam made of The Art of Shaving Ocean Kelp. When shaving doesn't go well, it's not the fault, because this is an excellent base to shave with.
Blade and razor:
The PolSilver Super Iridium for the 3rd x used.
This morning's Polsilver Super Iridium razor is the supposed phony. Well the strange thing is, that I find the knife quite sharp, but still quite easily cause damage with it, which necessitates the use of the alum other than just as deo! Go put the blade one more time in a tame razor, but I'm afraid I have a supply of fake Polsilvers. Luckily a larger stock of good ones! The Above The Tie S2 with this Polsilver Super Iridium is a bad combination. Bite me twice in the back of the head and also a bite of throat. Not normal for me, but besides the alum I had to use some Proraso leakstopper. And to think, that those blades have been in my stock since my first trip to Poland. Apparently I always happened to get the good Polsilver.
Result: JGS.
Finally: 4711 Real Kölnisch Wasser, Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion and Loris E-113 Hermes Terry for the final chord.

I got 4 Scheermonnik samples for my birthday. Yesterday I used the Soek.
A warm spicy scent. Cinnamon and cloves are the 2 main scents I pickup. As the name suggests it’s like you step into a spice market somewhere in the Middle East. Nice!
Great soap! Easy to lather, great cushoning and glide. Damn fine shave!
Can’t wait for the other 3.
