Good evening Gentlemen. Today’s morning shave was
  • Tabac Original Beard- & Shaving oil
  • Faena Olympian
  • Mug from Crete
  • Rolls Razor Imperial
  • Rolls Razor Balde No 7 #1 honed on Blue Thuringian und stropped on Ledertradition‘s Double strop, Latigo / Nubuk
  • Hofigal Trilavanda
Wow, shaves like a wedge Sheffield Razor, honed on a blue Thuringian. But much easier to go across the grain under the chin :lol

Brush and soap:
Mühle Silvertip Fibre® 21mm and Arko:
Actually, the only thing strictly necessary to fight the beard when travelling is the Mühle Silvertip Fibre® 21mm and box or stick Arko. Simple and super nice foam.
Blade and razor:
The Souplex B choice for the 5th x used.
A good travel blade, the Souplex B choice. A forgiving combination, in this case Fatip Piccolo Special Edition (SB) with the Souplex B choice. Smooth shaving on the beautiful Arko foam makes preshave absolutely unnecessary and the skin remains beautifully smooth.
Result: BBS.
Finally: absolutely superfluous, but very nice splashing with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, lubricating with moisturizing and caring Weleda Aftershave Balsam and completely unnecessary nice scent of L.T. Piver Lotion Pompeia. My wife doesn't like the lotion as much, so quickly finishing the bottle and don't repeat it.
It's a good thing you want to travel on an easy and low budget, so you can do that with little investment (not necessarily).

No SOTD for me today (was late getting out of bed :) ) but yesterday i was talking to a collegue and he was shaving with a DE which I did not know, he was complaining that he was getting a dry feeling in his face from using vergulde hand soap, and said he wanted to use a staight for years (think it will be challaging for him because he only has a right hand (no left hand only an stump)) so today i gave him some soap samples to try and one of my practise razors for honing a Gold Dollar to try out.

Lets see how his face is tomorrow.

:)
 
Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
Speick shaving stick
Proraso boar brush
Unknown humpback + Treet carbon #2
Vdh alum
Dickinsons witch hazel
Biocura Man classic silver, Wilkinson hydro

First shave with the humpback. The alum didn't sting. So the combination with the Treet is very gentle.

The classic silver is an aramis copy. This is a not standard smell. I'll hope it grows on me I have to finish the bottle.
