Brush and soap:
Oumo Brush SHD G5 26mm and TDS Cosmetics Rose:
TDS Cosmetics Rose is a soap with a heavy resin content. This overpowers the rose a bit, but also has something special about it. The quality of the lather is very good, so fine in use, but not an excellent rose scent. The Oumo Brush SHD G5 26mm, with its backbone, is a great brush to lather up this soap.
Blade and razor:
Used the Ahshana Super Chromium for the 6th time.
The Ahshana Super Chromium blade did run out of use after 6 shaves. The shave went better, than yesterday, but that is due to the scraper, as I thought. The Merkur 39C Slant Long Handle Barber Pole gave the Ahshana Super Chromium just that little extra to make the shave go well, but then this vintage blade was also used up. Still perfectly smooth all around.
Result: DFS.
Finally: in style with Ilgaz Rose Isparta, Bomb Rose Revolution - Body Butter and TDS Cosmetics Roos ASL nourished and again it has become a nice complete shave.

Brush and soap:
Luyixian Synth-24x68 and Haslinger Schafmilch:
Last fall I was at Haslinger and picked up some soaps there. This morning I used the Luyixian Synth-24x68 to lather up the Haslinger Schafmilch. Still new in the packaging, so curious to see what this one is like. Nurturing neutral soap, which foams up super. Such a bowl full of pleasant neutral smelling foam, good stuff to shave with.
Blade and razor:
Used the Personna Platinum Chrome (Red) for the 1st time.
A new Personna Platinum Chrome (Red) to try. I got these from Alwin to compare to the same blades, which I have in a different package. Going to swap them every other day so I use each blade in the same razor. Starting with the Mühle R94 Rocca and the Personna Platinum Chrome (Red) from Alwin. Shaves well, super sharp, even have to be a bit careful with it as this blade in the Rocca is gasping at the boss. Shaves tight smooth this combo.
Result: BBS.
Finally: with the neutral Haslinger everything fits, so today Abzehk Olive edc, Abzehk Avocado cream and Loris E-303 Bulgari Aqua Marine. That's another pleasant finish.
 
Zenith unbleached boar brush
Tabac shaving stick

This week I have a reduced setup. But the zenith is breaking in nicely, tabac is lathering well, and the slant is doing great. So I shall not complain.

Brush and soap:
Omega 20102 and Daisho Holland-Wetshavers-Belgium_Summer Breeze:
The Omega 20102 makes it easy to whip up a voluptuous lather from the Daisho Holland-Wetshavers-Belgium_Summer Breeze. This sturdy hog brush loads the firm soap easily and whips in quite a bit of water, which produces a nice thick creamy lather.
Blade and razor:
Used this Personna Platinum Chrome (Red) for the 1st x.
Used the Personna Platinum Chrome (Red) from my own stock this morning. The blade feels more comfortable and shaves more smoothly, than yesterday's one did. Had the blade in the same razor, the Mühle R94 Rocca and this Personna Platinum Chrome (Red) I find a lot more comfortable, am also easier smooth. This is only the 1st round, so I can not say anything definitive about this, but found this impression funny. Further testing and tomorrow the Personna again, which Alwin sent me. Shaved smooth all around.
Result: BBS.
Finally: nicely refreshed with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, Cien Men Hydro Age Q10 and d Daisho Holland-Wetshavers-Belgium_Summer Breeze. The Aftershave I find to be a nice fresh citrusy. I get less of this from the soap.

Brush and soap:
Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm and Mama Bear Ice:
Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm and Mama Bear Bear Ice = fresh top lather.
Blade and razor:
Used the Personna Platinum Chrome (Red) for the 2nd time.
This Personna Platinum Chrome (Red), which I got to try, is not as pleasant to use so far, than the blades in my collection. Some small nicks. Otherwise smooth, but feels a bit raw. Possibly it's the Gillette Goodwill (head), in which this Personna Platinum Chrome (Red) may not be used so well. Tomorrow the comparison blade back in and see if it is more pleasant to use again.
Result: BBS.
Finally: nicely refreshing Alcolado Glacial, Abzehk Avocado cream and Loris E-048 Cool Water applied. Are the eyes open again though.
