Yesterday's evening shave

Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
Omega barber style brush
Bdf exclusivo shaving soap
A Bain Le Téléphone frameback
Vdh alum
Humphrey's cucumber mellon
Abzehk menth, Bdf exclusivo balsem

A bit of a rough shave. After I finished I found the source. The blade was a bit loose. The razor is a frameback with a replacable blade. The screen was to loose. I removed the screw, cleaned the blade and retihgtened the screw. The blade is now more firmly positioned.

I will touch up again and see if it is goes better.

Brush and soap:
Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle and Arko:
This morning again the trick without shaving bowl, with Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle the Arko froth directly from the soap bowl. Goes well again. Nice full of foam on the bakkes. Also needs to be smooth, because on the way home. Just a few zmer weeks at home.
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte used for the 9th time.
The Gem Personna Pfte does a good job on the 9th x as well, so he goes home with me to go there a bit further. In the Gem G Bar the Gem Personna Pfte still shaves perfectly smooth and cheeks shiny.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Weleda Aftershave Balsam and a nice smell of the Loris E-048 Cool Water. Ready for departure.

Brush and soap:
Rod Neep Silvertip extra dense LE 2014 #07/12 Shasoc and Simpsons Café Latte:
The soft cream of Simpsons, Café Latte, is very easy to whip up into a beautiful and too much foam. The Rod Neep Silvertip extra dense LE 2014 #07/12 Shasoc is exactly the right soft tie for this type of cream. Do you have to be careful not to overload it and not as I thoughtlessly twist it this morning, as if you are going to froth up Arko... Nice load of greasy foam in the bowl.
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte used for the 10th x.
The average Gem Personna Pfte for me is 10.94. This one is not finished after 10x, so I will use it again tomorrow and behaves very reliable. In the Gem Micromatic OC, Gem Personna Pfte gives a significantly more effective shave than in the G bar, but no less comfortable. Beautiful combination! All around nice and smooth again.
Result: BBS.
Finally: splashing with the Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, lubricating with Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and a puff Loris E-164 Laura Biagiotti Roma, my wife's favorite Loris (also not unimportant).

I’m very happy with the Parker Variant. It has a nice weight and grip, the length of the handle is a bit shorter than the long handled Merkur Progress, and the finish is very smooth. It shaves as good as the Merkur Progress.
