Brush and soap:
J&T® Bamboo Tuxedo Syntheet 24mm and Calani Bay Rum:
The J&T® Bamboo Tuxedo Syntheet 24mm is an excellent brush for hard soaps. The Calani Bay Rum is such a soap, which also keeps nicely dry only gets harder. Without sacrificing quality, it has been on my rotation for over 3.5 years. The smell does diminish a bit, but it is still tasty. The foam is phenomenal!
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte used for the 11th time.
The Gem Personna Pfte is still doing very well for the 11th x. 12 might have worked as well, but it's good. In the Gem Damaskeene the Gem Personna Pfte is at its best. What a nice shaving combi. Almost unsurpassable. 3 laps smooth, it couldn't be smoother.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Rebul Dark Spice, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Jan's Bay Rum on it. Ready for this new day.

Parker Variant, MEM blade 3x
Plisson synthetic brush
TFS Mandarino Tachibana soap and AS
3 passes and BBS
The MEM blade is not my favourite blade, and this is the only razor where it performs good enough. First few shaves with the Parker were with this blade, tomorrow a Rapira Platinum Plus. That should shave like a dream.

Brush and soap:
Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm and Dutchi Bergamotte Shaving Soap:
Well what can I say about this brush, the Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm, which I have now used once and already like... Loading takes some time, especially with a firm soap like the Dutchi Bergamotte Shaving Soap, but then you also fill the bun with a rich thick moist foam, which is more than enough for 3 rounds. That brush eats all the soap, the bowl is only needed to put it away and keep it warm. This brush spreads like a luxury rug, but in the meantime it lays a nice layer of foam on the skin. Well rather sad, those people, who appreciate synthetics over an unadulterated piece of nature. I only encourage that....
Blade and razor:
The Astra Superior Platinium for the 1st time used.
A fresh Astra Superior Platinium was allowed to scrape the foam with beard. That worked fine, nice cut, but razor has to catch up. The 3rd round went nicely. The light combination Phoenix Alpha Ecliptic Slant Ox Blod with this Astra Superior Platinium is a great tool. Skull tight smooth and high gloss cheeks.
Result: BBS.
Finally: after the Dutchi, further finishing with lime and herbs is all right, so Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, neutral Seinz. After Shave Balsam and nice fitting Loris E-012 Attitude.
