today not the new Oumo but a brush I've been using for a long time (matter of a constant when testing new soap).
Earlier started skeptical but this is really a very tasty soap, both in terms of smell and foam. I would even place it above Eufro's and many others
You guessed it already there will be another package delivered soon

Brush and soap:
Jerusalem Harkos® Fibre and Bomb Dead Sea Salt Soap:
Good loading of the Jerusalem Harkos® Fibre with Bomb Dead Sea Salt Soap provides a fresh soft scent of sea, bergamot and eucalyptus and after some whipping a nice firm glycerine soap foam. Although this soap is not made as a specific shaving soap, it is a very good soap with about the quality we know from Mama Bear. Best stuff to shave with.
Blade and razor:
The Treet Dura Sharp Stainless for the 1st x used.
A new Treet Dura Sharp Stainless. I can say that shaves. The Dscosmetic T7 316L SS titanium handle forms a nice light combination with the Treet Dura Sharp Stainless. That razor is nicely light, because no superfluous amount of stainless steel has been used and the handle weighs very little. It shaves at least as good as my Game Changer, so that's good enough. An above-average good razor that does little damage. Well, from China, so affordable.
Result: BBS.
Finally: some PeReJa Lavender edc, because that flower is doing quite well after the Bomb. The Arko Nem Avokado ASB is actually a body cream, but it absorbs so easily and feels good taking care after shaving. For even more freshness and fruitiness, the Loris E-048 Cool Water. Can cope with it again until tomorrow.
 
Today warm lather. I think the scent of the soap is even better warm .. and of course because it feels good, see it as a warm towel but made of leather

Last shave with the titanium, glad I didn't buy it, after 5 shaves I can feel more and more burn after shaving, strange as it feels non aggressive during shave and I have razors that are a lot more aggressive that don't give me trouble.

Brush and soap:
Simpsons LE TSN 2013 P8 Phyl #195 Best Badger and TDS Cosmetics Cream: evergreen juniper:
It was nice shaving again this morning. The Simpsons LE TSN 2013 P8 Phyl #195 Best Badger whipped up the TDS Cosmetics Cream: evergreen juniper from a new box and gave a nice firm elastic foam. The smell is fine, it looks like a little less resin has been added to the soap, than in the sample I had earlier, so the smell is milder and the juniper comes out much better. This is good stuff to shave with. The skin feels good and shaves beautifully.
Blade and razor:
Used the Treet Dura Sharp Stainless for the 2nd time.
I still don't know if I like the Treet Dura Sharp Stainless or if I like it very much. Used 5 blades and shaved 33 times. In one razor it's a comfortable shaving blade in the other it becomes a bitty dragon. This morning I shaved really smooth. Good, then he falls within my average and very good, then he comes in the region Rapira PL, Gillette Rubie or ultimate Kai and Wizamet. In any case, he is not below average. In the Timeless Solid Bar scalloped 0.95 the Treet Dura Sharp Stainless is extremely effective. So that I just like it. See and then I'm just on the edge of a nice blade or an effective scraper. However, the result is sublime. For the time being we will keep them in.
Result: BBS.
Finally: fresh and caring finished with Mennen Skin Bracer AS, Arko Nem Avokado ASB and TDS Deja Vue.This Deja Vu gives a nicely worn pine wood scent, which fits nicely with the soap.
