J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and Mama Bear Ice:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm with the fresh Mama Bear Ice were the base for a good start. Since I had to shave carefully around some cuts a nice layer of foam on the skin.
Blade and razor:
The PolSilver Super Iridium for the 3rd x used.
This morning a real Polsilver Super Iridium and yes the difference is palpable. Flashy sharp and no further damage. Just pay attention to the already created spots. The Above The Tie S2 with this Wrist Silver Super Iridium is an effective combination. Shaves absolutely smooth and I have to pay attention to the angle, but then something happens. Clear difference with the fake knife, that's how I dare to call the other one by now.
Result: BBS.
Finally: With the Kremlon Ice Eau de Cologne, toco-Tholin Lavender ASB and the Loris E-048 Cool Water I kept my head cool.
One more shave compared to another razor, but then I think it's clear.

Plisson Fibre and Simpson Sandalwood:
Yesterday there was a parcel in the mailbox containing a monster sandalwood. I tried this one this morning: Plisson Fibre with the Simpson Sandalwood. The smooth Plisson syntheet is just the right tool for this very soft cream. Personally I'm more of the hard soaps, but I like the Simpson cream very much. Little needed and the scents are really English. So is this sandalwood. Smells a lot like Tobs, but a little sweeter. Not the solid wood smell of the TFS Crazy Sandalwood and that's a pity, because the latter doesn't seem to be made anymore. When I have to place the Simpson in my row, it is very much in place 3-4 for me. Similar to Tobs DR Harris and not as good as the TFS for me. Nice layer of scented foam on the head and just shave.
Blade and razor:
The PolSilver Super Iridium for the 4th x used.
The probably fake PolSilver Super Iridium was used again. What outlines my surprise? Does it without any problems this morning! That's probably because of the Fatip Piccolo Special Edition (SB), in which I had screwed the PolSilver Super Iridium. The knife ran without any problems, so there is still hope for this one. Don't use an effective scraper and then they do it? Time will tell.
Result: BBS.
Finally: To stay nicely in the woodline, finish with the Proraso Con Olio di Sandalo AS, TFS Crazy Sandalwood ASB and nice puff Loris So Oud.
