Brush and soap:
Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm and TDS Cosmetics Star Anise:
We used to drink aniseed milk at home in cold times, from those de Ruyter blocks. Well, that scent filled our bathroom this morning as I lathered up the soap while working in the Proraso Crema Pre Barba. The cooling of the Proraso, with the warm scent of the TDS Cosmetics Star Anise, which I lathered up with the Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm, brought back fond memories of old times. Something like grandpa with his Tabac? In any case, this new TDS is a fine soap for me! Good lather, nostalgic fragrance and nice caring shave.
Blade and razor:
Used the Rapira Platinum Lux for the 6th time. The Rapira Platinum Lux still runs like a train on the Proraso with TDS foam. Smooth head. The super simple comfortable Gillette Tech gives enough room to the Rapira Platinum Lux to shave nice and smooth in 3 rounds. Result BBS.
Finally, the aniseed and menthol finished with Rebul Dark Spice, Seinz. After Shave Balsam and Loris E-162 Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb made the whole thing complete. My wife did not quite agree, as she hates menthol, peppermint and anise. She doesn't like liquorice either, but I don't use that for breakfast anyway.

Brush and soap:
Semogue SOC Badger Cherrywood and TDS Cosmetics Roos 4.02:
With the Semogue SOC Badger Cherrywood, I whipped up a nice rose foam from the TDS Cosmetics Rose 4.02. If you appreciate a not too exaggerated rose scent, you are well served with this soap. I already had a sample to try out, but now out of the box, the scent is even more convincing. Many TDS soaps have a somewhat resinous scent and they have suppressed that well with this soap. This is good value for money. Nice lather, good shaving properties and a pleasant not too floral rose scent. Price/performance ratio nice stuff.
Blade and razor:
Used the Rapira Platinum Lux for the 7th time.
The Rapira Platinum Lux still did its job quite well, I did put it in the piggy bank, but more because I could, than because I had to. Nice combo, the Fatip Zebrano (OC) with the Rapira Platinum Lux. That gave a perfect smooth head again.
Result: BBS.
Finally: some more pleasant smelling and caring rose from the PeReJa Rose edc, Kashmir Rose Lanna Oriental Spa Lotion and TDS Cosmetics Rose ASL. Nicely groomed start into the weekend.
