Brush and soap:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and Proraso Green:
It's fun to cool your head in the Proraso Crema Pre Barba. Then with the J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm loaded the Proraso Green and beaten to a nice yoghurt-like foam. By the way, that brush is the best. Now that I can compare it with the gel tip, I have to say that when you need a somewhat firmer brush, it is more pleasant than the Oumo HMW gel tip. The latter is very good, but also very soft and supple, something other than too limp(!), which is not always better with a hard soap and maybe long stiff beard, but I'm not sure about the latter, because I shave every day.
Blade and razor:
Using the Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus for the 5th x. The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus still doesn't give a crimp and does its job without any problems. In the comfortable Timeless Solid Bar scalloped 0.68, the Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus feels unsurpassed in sharpness and cut. Beautiful work. Result BBS.
Finally: refresh the freshness with Alcolado Glacial, Toco-Tholin Lavender ASB and Loris E-048 Cool Water.

Brush and soap:
LiJüN silvertip 3 band and Chiseled Face Trade Winds:
This morning the bathroom smelled like the blued deck of a windjammer after I had whipped the Chiseled Face Trade Winds with the LiJüN silvertip 3 band into a nice foam. That requires a whole line of worn scents, but first the hair from the head.
Blade and razor:
The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus used for the 6th x.
The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus effortlessly did its job again. There are still a few shaves left in this blade. The Paradigm Daimondback, which has now changed owners and is now staying here, is with the Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus top. In the meantime I've discovered that for my beard a very small shaving angle is very comfortable with this razor, as the English say "riding the cap". Just a few more shaves and I've got that razor completely in the grip. Meanwhile I am very pleased with the result of this tool.
Result: BBS.
Finally: taking care with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Loris E-003 Acqua Di Gio which prolongs the smell of the windjammer. That Loris has a nicely worn fougere scent, which fits perfectly with the Trade Winds.

What a pity that a lot of brands of shaving soaps/creams have disappeared from the scene lately.

For example Irisch Moos, I Coloniali and unfortunately also the Prep has not escaped.
One of my favorite scents and unfortunately that delicious smell is absolutely not to be found in any other soap.
