Semogue SOC Bristle Cherrywood and Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic:
Nice cold start this morning, because I had to keep my head down to compare razor blades. With the Semogue SOC Bristle Cherrywood cool foam beaten from the Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic. Put the head in the Prep and over that the Mita is really cooling!
Blade and razor:
Used the PolSilver Super Iridium for the 1st time. Another dispute has arisen about real and fake Polsilvers and since I seem to have them both and also the Wizamet it's easy to compare. This morning I did a left-right comparison with the Polsilver Super Iridium with and without the Super Iridium imprint. The impression exists, that without the SI imprint they are fake. That would be possible, but well I can shave with it and this morning I don't notice much difference between left and right and continue with the fake one and the real one. See where the ship stranded. Having said this well, I have to say that apart from the regular blade changes the shave went fine. The RazoRock Game Changer 0.84-P with Polsilver Super Iridium is a fine combination. I don't notice much difference between the two Polsilvers and what I notice can be subjective and suggestive. Time will tell. Result BBS.
Finally: Nicely shaved by cooling with the Alcolado Glacial, Toco-Tholin Lavender ASB and Loris E-048 Cool Water. Man, am I cool again

Pre-Shave: Prep
Shaving Soap / Cream: CBL Fresh Lime
Aftershave: Williams Aqua Velva Fresh
Aftershave Balm: Stirling Margarita in the Artics
Shaving Brush: Shavemac 26 mm. Fan Silvertip Badger DO1
DE-Razor: Paradigm Diamondback
DE-Blade: Gillette Nacet 1x
The number of soaps that have never been used has increased with the arrival of the 5 CBL soaps.
So this morning we made the choice to open a new soap, the CBL Fresh Lime.
And a delicious smell that reminds me of one of my favorite Lime scents of all time and that is Iced Key Lime from the Queen Charlotte.
Shaving soaps that contain the synthetic cooling agents are harder to lather up and it takes a little more knocking before you get to a nice lather.
I already noticed this at the Cannonball of Summer Break and also the Fresh Lime requires a little more patience from the wet shaver.
The cooling of the Fresh Lime is light but the synthetic cooling stays a bit longer as an ordinary menthol soap.
All in all a nice introduction to this soap.

Prep Skin Protective Cream,

J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and La Toja Hidrotermal Crema de Afeitar:
With the J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and La Toja Hidrotermal Crema de Afeitar. First some Prep smeared for cooling and then well packed for a test run.
Blade and razor:
The PolSilver Super Iridium (n) used for the 2nd time. The Polsilver Super Iridium should now show the difference between a supposed fake and a real one. This morning the "phony" To feel the blade right away, the combination Mühle R41 (2013) with the Polsilver Super Iridium appeared to be quite a challenge. Well that was quite smooth, but also with a bit of damage. That happens to me more often with the R41. That's where tame blades are supposed to be. Good morning try with the real ones we're going to see. Result BBS.
Finally: With Rebul Lavanda, Weleda Aftershave Balsam and Loris E-048 Cool Water refurbished and I was actually quite satisfied, even though alum was necessary.
