For me the best way to describe this razor is with the Dutch saying Meet nor fish. Although this razor gives decent shaves, for me it is not shining in terms of smoothnes or efficiency. Have a good day!

Brush and soap:
Luyixian Synth-24x68 and Klar Kabinett:
There are people, who don't think roses are cool, but that makes it more interesting to still smell wonderfully floral, so this morning again the roses with classic foam, beaten with the Luyixian Synth-24x68 of the old-fashioned Klar Kabinett. Lovely, wife happy again, how cool is that and I am well taken care of.
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte used for the 4th x.
About the Gem Personna Pfte I don't have to tell you much news. Just a good blade with little competition. The razor Gem 1912 from the old box with the Gem Personna Pfte gives great acoustic feedback, so you can hear exactly which hair is cut. All around nice and smooth.
Result: BBS.
Finally: First a quick splash with Turkish edc to remove the soap residue, then Bulgarian fragrance the Rose of Bulgaria AS with matching hydration by Regina Floris Rose Oil of Bulgaria ASG and finally an intensified and even more diverse rosarium fragrance with the French Rose Fernelle Provence et Nature. Again it was not Dutch not cool.
 
@Harkos Hé missed I something ?? What is Harkos Citrus-Mint??
No it's already older, in the summer of 2018 we hat a lot of mint in the garden. So I took Turkish lemon edc and soaked a bunch of mint in it. Afterwards mixed some Alcolado in it and so I became fresh aftershave. Not a bomb, but gently refreshing. The only thing, it soaked also the green out of the mint and that makes it look like old green tea, but that's al natural.:confused:

Normally, new shavingsoaps lie in the King's house for a while before they are allowed to make their first appearance.

However the CBL soap I received through @efsk from @gvw755 is so unknown to me that today it immediately satisfied my curiosity by using it.

And sometimes you have those soaps that leave a great first impression and that certainly includes the CBL.
Nice present smell that also remains in the foam. Fantastic shaving properties.
What more could a shearer want I will describe in the thread over this soap.

3 Passes , and BBS .
The Razor and blade are new for me and the first shave was a surprise ! :Pcputt
Lot of noise and no damage . :aetsch1
First pass on 2,5 was very effective and pass 2 and 3 on 3 even more ! :troest1
I think the razor with another blade will give a better shave , because this blade could not impress me . :wife1
Maybe after using a few shaves . :auslachen1

An experimental shave today: I combined my best performing razor with my worst performing blade. The result was not very suprising: the razor upgraded the blade to a medium performer. And the blade downgraded the razor to a medium performer. Have a good day!

Still curious about the Nodachi but the Masamune gives me a perfectly fine shave!

Have a good day!

Brush and soap:
Simpsons LE TSN 2013 P8 Phyl #195 Best Badger and Martin de Candre Original:
Well, while I was whipping up the Martin de Candre Original with the Simpsons LE TSN 2013 P8 Phyl #195 Best Badger in my Polish bowl, I realised how inexpensive it is. Get wonderfully nice creamy foam from so little soap that I don't think I can empty that jar. What a nice frothy stuff. The Original also smells nice and basic, not over scented, but just a nice soapy smell. So that was a nice start.
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte used for the 5th time.
This morning I made some strokes with the blade over leather to see if the Gem Personna Pfte will shave even better. In the Star the Gem Personna Pfte just feels good as default. Shaves like I expect from this type of razor, so nice and smooth without risk of irritation or cuts.
Result: BBS.
Finally: To stay in French style after the MDC: Rebul Lavanda, L.T. Piver lotion Lavande, Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion and Panier & Sens Lavanda EdT.
