Despite the fact that the Derby extra is not the best blade on the market. The shave was good; two pass with touchup. The fasan looks aggresive, but is a mild efficient razor.

@jaap ouderwets scheren keep us posted about the soap. Always interested in new soaps on the market.

Brush and soap:
Omega 20102 and Calani Bay Rum:
It's been a while since I've had bay rum in the brush. So the Omega 20102 with the Calani Bay Rum was a pleasant new acquaintance. This soap is very usefull and forms a lot of foam in no time. With the firm Omega pig that is easily done. I had prepared the skin with a layer of Prep. I don't really like preshave, but this invigorating Prep is pleasant to use. I don't know if it's much better to shave, but at least it's nice and fresh. Well the Bay Rum doesn't need that, but my dull head sometimes does.
Blade and scraper:
Used the Feather Professional for the 5th x. The blade is just as good as a Feather Professional should be after 5x. Excellent. Even the combi RazoRock Black Hawk with Feather Professional felled well. Whether that comes from that Prep I don't know, but so far I found the Black Hawk absolutely mediocre compared to my other SE razors. Now the beard flashed off in 3 laps. Result BBS.
Finally: A splash of edc, then Jan's Bay Rum, a dash of Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion and finally Loris E-181 Noir Man.
Nice and fresh and at the same time spicy and woody this morning, nice again.
 
Last night's shave. Was a bit late so had to be a quick one. Face lather, no bowl.

Yaqi Timberwolf 26mm
Proraso green cream
Robuso 4712 5/8
Osma alum
Nuage asb

Just two passes. Good enough. Next time 3 passes and a hard soap again.

Shaving Soap: Wickham 1912 Citrus Musk

After Shave: Pinaud Citrus Musk

Shaving Brush: Proraso

DE-Razor: Parker 55SL-RG semi slant
DE- Blade: Treet Black Beauty Carbon 1x

Looks like the Parker semi slant and I aren't gonna be friends. :nein1
After having shaved with several slants for weeks, this is the one who can charm me the least because I find him shaving a bit mourning.

No, now I'm a bit sorry that I got rid of my Merkur 37C because I followed the wrong track that the 37C and the Parker had a similar shaving character. :(
 
Dear Mr King !
Because of your iron backbone , there seems to be a problem if you have to buy another Slant !
So , i can make you a happy shaver again , and give my Razorock 37 German Slant to you.
I don,t use it , and its collecting dust.
:bier1


Eeeeh yeah how can I turn down such a nice offer Jaap it's a lottery ticket.

Knife cuts for me on two sides I get a nice shaving slant back in my possession and I keep my famous iron backbone is stand.

But maybe I still have something to make you happy again.
