Brush and soap:
Oumo Brush SHD G5 26mm and Plantes&Parfums Provence Eau du Ventoux Savon à Barbe:
Using the Oumo Brush SHD G5 26mm to whip up a nice lather from the Plantes&Parfums Provence Eau du Ventoux Savon à Barbe. This fragrant hard Mediterranean soap is just right for the brush. Consequently, nice thick lather and lots of foam, evoking memories of sunny southern French scenes. Unfortunately, currently under a very gray wet sky. Fortunately, in May we will be able to refresh the memories in real life. For now, just do with this dream of a soap.
Blade and razor:
Used the Centwin Super Platinium for the 5th time.
The Centwin Super Platinium ended up in the piggy bank today. Could still shave with it, but it really could be better. The Paradigm Diamondback revived the Centwin Super Platinium one more time, but this 5th turn was it.
Result: BBS.
Finally: some fresh, Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, some moisturizing Arko Nem Avocado ASB and nice fougère Loris E-003 Acqua Di Gio to round things off pleasantly.

Artisan Green Cult Steel - Safety Razor
Voskhod Teflon - Blade.
Artisan Los Jabones De Joserra Altamira - After Shave.


Green Cult Steel round two.

Today they are coated with Voskhod Teflon. A fairly mild blade, hence the Cube, as I wasn't sure how often I'd have to go over skin with a Voskhod.


Slightly moisten the cube and spread quite generously over the face. I like the Cube :) - It cleans with the activated charcoal and gives the skin an improved lubricating film thanks to the sweet almond oil, prickly pear oil, jojoba wax, safflower oil, bacuri butter, capuacu butter and murumuru butter. Vitamin E and aloe vera complete the whole thing.


Then the Josera was used. As always with me, it was opened with a lot of love and processed into a nice, fat foam, more like cream. The hot scuttel wafted an aroma of soap through the house, which is still noticeable now.


The soap was then allowed to soak the hair in connection with the cube for 4 minutes. Soaking is always important, always has been. At a barber's, before the foam is applied, the skin is softened with a hot towel, which pulls the hair out a little. The cream then grips better and makes shaving easier.


In the meantime smoked a fag and then got to work. Briefly moistened the soap with hot water with a brush and to the first train. Fits, without much pressure the Voskhod pulled through. The steel head of the safety razor has also been warmed up properly beforehand. Personally, I always do this because I think it shaves better. But like I said, it could just be imagination.


Of course, compared to the Feather in the first round, the Voskhod seemed softer and not as snappy. But I was already satisfied in the first round. The second was then on the side and the third, here with a little thinner foam then against the grain.


Again, no pressure, let it run. Well... smooth and clean. There were minimal hairspots, which I then touched up with a water shave. One right under my nose and the other under my lower jaw, right side. But I always have to improve it again by skin tightening.


The "lie detector test," as Klaus always calls it, showed no rashes either.


Towards the end, clean your face with ice-cold water, dab off the remaining foam with a towel, then dry your face (do not rub).


I'm 99% BBS now. A small hairspot, under my lower jaw, a few stubbles can still be felt. I could go over that again, but it's actually OK.


This was followed by Primavera witch hazel water and finally the aftershave. Here, too, all solder. What more could a man want.


Good evening to all and a nice WE to you.


Addendum: After I've written this here, then there was a smoke and the food was warmed up in the kitchen, there is a slight tension in the skin under the chin. Otherwise no redness or blood spots. A little Ebenholz After Shave Balm and the issue was gone. And yes, the Ebenholz is anti-aging, but I'm allowed to, I'm not 20 anymore :)

Kwast en zeep:
Oumo Brush SHD G5 26mm en Mama Bear Sandalwood Rose:
Lekkere roosjes schuim, niet al te bloemig en met wat houtgeur in de basis, opgeklopt met de Oumo Brush SHD G5 26mm van de Mama Bear Sandalwood Rose. Deze zeep is erg prettig in gebruik en geeft een mooi stevig slagroom-achtig schuim.
Mesje en scheermes:
De Gillette-Wilkinson Sword Stainless Steel (India) voor de 2e x gebruikt.
De Gillette-Wilkinson Sword Stainless Steel (India) doet de 2e beurt prima. Erg prettig scherend mesje. De Merkur 510 Progress voor de schedel op 2.5 ingesteld en voor de rest op 3.5 laat de Gillette-Wilkinson Sword Stainless Steel (India) goed zijn werk doen. Niet overdreven effectief, maar wel vlot scherend. Prima.
Resultaat: BBS.
Tenslotte: een mooie plens Ilgaz Rose Isparta, dan wat Kashmir Rose Lanna Oriental Spa Lotion en ter afsluiting nog een stevige wolk Provence et Nature Rose Fernelle. Dat ruikt weer naar roosjes!
