Pre-Shave: Vitos Menthol
Shaving Soap / Cream: KPemoboe Menthol

Aftershave: Proraso green
Aftershave Balm: Stirling Glacial unscented

Shaving Brush: Shavemac 26 mm. Fan Silvertip Badger DO1

DE-Razor: Fatip SB slant / Zebranowood
DE-Blade: Treet Platinum 3x

Where I normally enjoy testing new shaving gear, this doesn't apply to the Fatip SB slant. :augenroll1

One side of the razor does almost nothing to remove even the shavingsoap on the face.
The other side does its job reasonably well but that's all.

If you compare it with a Lutz slant that also has two different sides, it's just an awkward faucet the Fatip.

In other words I'm not going to test the famous five shaves with it and after the shave it ends up in the drawer with forgotten razors. :Eek

The Russian soap on the other hand performed well and delicious cooling only the smell is a bit weak in the lather and the promised Coconut and Chocolate I could not perceive but the menthol smell. daumenh!

Brush and soap:
Mühle Silvertip Fibre® 21mm and Scheermonnik Delfts Wit:
Mühle Silvertip Fibre® 21mm with Scheermonnik Delfts Wit sets the tone for this day's turn. Good foam, sweet spicy scent, so choose nice matching waters and cream. Well with some smelling and foreknowledge I succeeded. That tassel is a ucky one with great deeds. Knocked nice foam and brings it up easily. Really an all-round travel brush, which of course does well at home.
Blade and razor:
The PolSilver Super Iridium for the 8th x used.
The original PolSilver Super Iridium keeps going. Still little to notice of any weariness in this 8th turn. Fatip Piccolo Special Edition (OC) with PolSilver Super Iridium turns out to be efficient yet friendly. This combination will definitely go on a trip in April!
Result: BBS.
Finally: The foreknowledge and smell impressions resulted in the following list: Wars Classic EnergetyZujaci, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and finally Loris E-164 Laura Biagiotti Roma, a beautiful heavy sweet spicy scent with something wood. My wife loves it...

I've mixed my Tatara razors, I've used the nodachi cap with the masamune baseplate.
The shave is okay for me, I don't like to much blade feel.
The Tatara is a good headshaver but not when it's been too long; the razor clogs up very easy and you have to use a running tap and unscrew the cap quite a bit to get rid of the hairs.
 
Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
Yaqi aqua 24mm
Panacrema pure O2
Universal shavette + derby extra
Vdh alum
Dickinsons witch hazel
Pitralon classic, isana ultrasensitive balsem

First complete shave with the universal. You have to be more carefull with the shavette then with straight. Result one small cut.
 
Good evening Gentlemen. Today’s morning shave was
  • Klar Klassik RS
  • Semogue OC Dachs
  • SWK Basic Scuttle
  • Mulcuto Schrägschnitt
  • Voskhod Teflon coated # 1
  • Klar Klassik Rasierwasser
wrongly, I have not paid much attention to the slanted Mulcuto all these years. Never before has a razor given me such a smooth and at the same time very thorough and irritation-free result right from the first shave. I can hardly get that grin off my face:D:D:D:D:D

@Hellas Mulcuto were the first DE to give me a shave as good as a straight can.


Paladin Buck Rogers 26mm 2CSNL3 fan, Cobalt
Wickham - Citrus Musk
Fatip - Lo Storto CC (t)
Voskhod (3)
Tunney

Better than the previous shave. Aligning the blade with the baseplate instead of the cap works better.

@Hellas what is a good blade for the rotbart? But with such a praise for the mulcuto, maybe I should use them first.

Oh choises. Talk about first world problems.

For me, Rotbart Mond Extra 15 works wonderfully with Sputnik, ASP, BIC, Gillette Blacks, Gillette Blue Extra, Perma Sharp, Polsilver Stainless, Qball, Tiger Stainless, Voskhod. But as ever YMMV;)

Less tugging with the feather blade, but I don't think it's more efficient than with non mixed masamune.

Have a nice weekend!

I'll check. I had a lot of them, but sold a lot as well. Otherwise maybe @Hellas can help you, he just bought 5 identical ones.

if efsk does not find, happy to help. Although NOS the chrome of the other handles does not look well. But the heads are all excellent.
