Pre-Shave: Castle Forbes

Shaving Soap/cream: Jabones de Joserra Spanish Fern
Shaving Brush: OUMO Pandorra 24 mm. Fan Silvertip Manchuria Ace

DE-Razor: Mulcuto Nädelspiten
DE-Blade: Gillette Nacet 1x

Aftershave: Espritde Valdemar Fougére
Aftershave balm: StirlingVaren

What a fantastic good razor this Mulcuto is and remains my undisputed topper of the slants.

And then the soap gentlemen what a delight this is to me.
Proof that good shaving soaps can come from Spain.
A jewel of a fragrance and excellent foam.
By the way, that smell is absolutely strong, so not for shavers who like modesty.

Great soap, CBL produce, and I really like the scent of this one: A very pleasant flowery, soapy scent, nice and quiet, soothes both smell and skin, perfect for my evening shaves.
Pils is one of those razors that you either use, or regret that you don't use it often enough. Astonishingly good razor, I wouldn't be surprised if it beats my Knockout.

The Timeless hasn't been used for awhile, but it didn't sell yet, so let's put it to work.
I still find it beautiful designed, but for me it feels a bit harsh, I more and more am using my milder razors.
Result is clean shaven!

Have a nice day!

Brush and soap:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and TDS Cosmetics Rose 4.02:
TDS Cosmetics Rose 4.02 is a new composition of their rose soap, which smells in the direction of Klar- and Dusy Kabinet, but has a more powerful fragrance. It also foams up very nicely. Got a sample from Jan Zoethout, so now I ordered a box at the makers in Belarus. To justify the moderate shipping costs a bit, because they are relatively high compared to the pleasant price of the shaving gear, also added some aftershaves and an anise soap. About this later when they arrived. With the J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm the soap foamed up and that gives beautiful foam, a bit dense, about the type of Bulgarian yogurt, but a bit fattier and from Belarus.
Blade and razor:
The Treet Dura Sharp Stainless for the 3rd time used.
The Treet Dura Sharp Stainless shaves nice and smooth again.In my new Fatip Zebrano (OC) the Treet Dura Sharp Stainless is very effective, but still comfortable. I bought this razor especially for the Zebrano brush, I thought it would be nice as a set. Unfortunately, the wood of the Fatip is considerably lighter, but that may improve. The head is a lot milder, than I'm used to from my old Fatip. Tolerances are also good, which makes the blade stretches very well. Nice efficient tool, which is also very comfortable to handle because of the wood.
Result: BBS.
Finally: beautiful roses with PeReJa Rose edc, Kashmir Rose Lanna Oriental Spa Lotion and Provence et Nature Rose Fernelle. I like me again and more important, so does my spouse.
 
Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
Omega 102 boar brush
Arko shaving soap
Dumas aine 32
Proraso alum
Humphrey's cucumber mellon witch hazel
Cien X-bolt AS, De vergulde hand balsem

Very nice lather with the arko and the 102 brush. The brush is now really broken in. It took a bit longer the omega 98 brush.
