Pre-Shave: Bleubeards Revenge
Shaving Soap / Cream: TOBS Lemon & Lime

Aftershave: Brooklyn Soap Company
Eau de Toilette: Joop

Shaving Brush: Kent BK8

DE-Razor: HomeLike Start 1.18 / Stork Titanium Consul
DE-Blade: Gillette Rubie Platinum Plus 3x


Under the Start 1.18 another handle is placed, the Stork Consul.

After three shaves with my favorite blade the Gillette Rubie Plus my opinion is already formed.

The Start 1.18 is a good razor that shaves nice and efficient but it loses comfort compared to top razors like the Wolfman, Timeless 0.95 Smooth and Paradigm.

Tomorrow I'll try it with a blade which in my opinion rises above the mediocre Astra Platinum.

Wow, this was a nice one! The beast mowed away a few days of growth effortlessly. 3 passes and smooth.
The TFS wasn't bad either.
Great shave if i may say so myself.

Brush and soap:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and Lavanda:
If you like a minimalistic brush you should not have the J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm. You are holding something in your hand with this brush. The knot is convincing. The Lavanda cream can be whipped up with it and the foam is easy to apply. It occurs to me, however, that the knot holds the foam well and you should have a firm, not too moist foam to spread it out nicely. That's not a shortcoming, because you can't shave without good foam and that's exactly what you need. The Lavanda can be properly balanced with a drop of water.
Blade and razor:
The Racer Super Stainless for the 1st x used.
New blade, the Racer Super Stainless. The Gillette New Made in England and the Racer Super Stainless make a great combination. Shaves nicely and ploughs well through the Lavanda beard.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Nice matching scents of the Ach Brito Lavender Eau de Cologne, Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion and the Panier & Sens Lavanda EdT, which leaves a nice and tender skin!

Brush and soap:
Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis and Jabonman Lignum MMXIX:
To compare the Oumo, which I may test, just a row of badgers, starting with a good, but in that category the least, the Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis. That's one of my nicer ones. Also a new soap, the Jabonman Lignum MMXIX. So there is an Eufros, which I like right away. Need to find out what it smells like, but shaves well, smells like cedar, spices, and sweets, beautiful masculine in balance.
Blade and razor:
Used the Feather Professional for the 11th x.
The Feather Professional can now go into the piggy bank after 11x. Not absolutely necessary, but noticeably more attention needed for really smooth. So piggy bank. Still clean-shaven with the combi RazoRock Black Hawk and Feather Professional, but tomorrow something else.
Result: BBS.
Finally: With this Jabonman seemed to me Rebul Dark Spice, Weleda Aftershave Balsam and Loris E-85 Dior Fahrenheit well in place. My spouse agrees, so the Monday starts well again.

So can we finally say that there's a Jabonman shaving soap that smells good, Harkos? :carrot1

That is very personally of course, but this one is in my opinion a nice earthy and masculine scent! A bit Italian style, some nuts in the background. Yes I like this one.
