This blade performed very well. Normaly 2 shaves for a blade is enough. This one got the chance to performed a 3rd shave and did it well. Very close and nice shave!

J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm,
TDS Cosmetics Rose,
RazoRock Black Hawk,
Feather Professional 8th x,
Rose of Bulgaria AS,
Regina Floris Rose Oil of Bulgaria ASG,
Rose Fernelle Provence et Nature.
Brush and soap:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and TDS Cosmetics Rose:
New stuff, a brush to try and a soap from White Russia, which contains roses. The brush, J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm is new and J&T gives me a try because of a new knot. I think that's fine, badger with backbone of almost a pig, suppleness of a modern synthetic and tips, so soft, that I can tickle my wife with it. The handle is nice and fits well in the hand. I' m going to use it a couple of times to see how the backbone stays. The TDS Cosmetics Rose is not that beautiful, it is very disappointing, because I smell all but no roses. The foam is fine to shave with, but the smell for me is more leather, tar and a hint of ammonia. In itself not annoying, but a more fierce smell of harbors with old wooden vessels, than a rosary. Don't know yet if I am happy with this, but I definitely don't smell roses.
Blade and razor:
Used the Feather Professional for the 8th x.
There is nothing new about the blade. The Feather Professional is also this 8th x absolutely good and sharp. The combination with the RazoRock Black Hawk shows the Feather Professional to its full advantage. Once I judged this aluminum razor as a bit less, but then I didn't shave my skull yet. However, this light combination makes it very easy to shave my head hair, e.g. the Asylum is far too effective and I have to put on velvet gloves, while the Hawk shears lightly over it.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Rose was ready for the finishing touches and that's all I want: Rose of Bulgaria AS, Regina Floris Rose Oil of Bulgaria ASG and Rose Fernelle Provence et Nature.
Next time I think I will take care after the TDS with leather wax.

Prep
M-Keramiek scuttle
Proraso boar brush
Heljestrand mk24
Vitos extra super coco
Dickinson witch hazel
Tuff herb, isana ultrasensitive balsem
Razor was good. I used it a bit enthusiastically which resulted in a small cut, but that will heal quickly. The mk24 really has a small blade.
First time use of the super coco. It is nice stuff. Hardly any smell tough, but nice lather and face feel.
@Harkos I also have the hawk v2. I use it with a stainless steel handle to give it some extra weight. I have no experience with other AC blade SE, but I thought that the hawk v2 is quite ok.

J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad,
TDS Cosmetics Lavender,
Asylum RX,
Feather Professional 9th x,
Ilgaz Lavanta Kolonya (Lavender),
Seinz. After Shave Balsam,
L.T. Piver lotion Lavande.
Brush and soap:
J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad and TDS Cosmetics Lavender:
Foam whipped with the J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad to compare with the brush, which I have on loan to try with an OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm knot. Now comparing syntheet with a badger is not quite the equal, but the SynBad is very much in the direction of a real badger. Still, for me there is nothing like really good hair, I remember from yesterday's shave. I do really like the OUMO knot. Tomorrow more, now continue with today. Foam whipped from TDS Cosmetics Lavender and that smells nice during shaving to those purple flowers. Nice soap. Basically the same as the (less tasty) Rose of yesterday, but here a pleasant lavender smell.
Blade and razor:
Used the Feather Professional for the 9th x.
The Feather Professional stays good on cut. The Asylum with the RX Feather Professional does feel a bit rawer than before, but that's feeling. So it can also be my feeling. Tomorrow I'll put the blade back in a neater iron.
Result: BBS.
Finally: The Mediterranean atmosphere extended with Ilgaz Lavanta Kolonya (Lavender), Seinz. After Shave Balsam and to end L.T. Piver lotion Lavande.

DE-Razor: HomeLike Start 1.18

A very early shave for me as forum member Jaap comes to visit me and a family meeting is planned afterwards.
The Hinoki soap has a great smell, weird guy @dajd94 who not to appreciate this smell.
The Start 1.18 razer is used for the first time and as everyone will know I only give my opinion after five uses.
First impression is not wrong only the grip doesn't appeal to me.

Further, Maggard boar / badger brush in Maseto handle and the TFS Mandarino Tachibana shaving soap and AS.
There is a little menthol in this AS, and that goes well with the mandarino scent.
Have a good weekend!

The first use of this brush was not such a pleasure. It reminds me to much to natural hair brushes. Also the combination of razor and blade felt not optimal. Have a good weekend!
