March 14th - March 20th

Every time I see the Yates in some SOTD my resistance crumbles a little further as my friends keep trying to convince me that I absolutely need one. :rolleyes:

Brush and soap:
J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad and Le Père Lucièn - le Savon du Barbier:
Fine classical soap here in the bathroom Le Père Lucièn - le Savon du Barbier. Nice solid soap without any special smell. No, some coconut, almond and such soft tones, but lather that I beat from it with the J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad, full, fat and caring!
Blade and razor:
Used the PolSilver Super Iridium (n) for the 1st time.
A fresh PolSilver Super Iridium is always very pleasant and good sharp. Nice and close shave. Dscosmetic T7 316L SS titanium handle with the PolSilver Super Iridium (n) is again such a beautiful combination, shaving easily and comfortably, but also sufficiently effective. Such a successful shave again. I have used this razor 18 times now and I read back a bit, but the one shave was even better than the other. I did have some very fine blades in it each time, but still. Nice light razor for a decent price, that can easily compete with the more expensive American violence. Not to compare with a Paradigm, that is of a different league, but the Game Changer by RazoRock is certainly not better.
Result: BBS.
Finally: after the LPL, you can apply almost anything as long as it is not too fresh, so Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Braukmann Sport Cream and Loris E-181 Noir Man.

M-keramiek scuttle
Zenith boar brush
Cella shaving soap
Solingen Böhlerstahl 7/8
Proraso alum
Humphrey's witch hazel
La rive cabana as, de vergulde hand balsem

This razor is very thinly grounded that it is very loud. You think that there are still stubbles, but after the wash of of the soap you can feel there is nothing there anymore.

A couple of years ago I couldn’t handle Kai blades. They always gave me rough shaves. Nowadays I appreciate them more and more as very effective!

M-keramiek scuttle
DS Cosmetics badger brush
Cella shaving soap
Razorock lupo sb/oc + voskhod
Proraso alum
Humphrey's witch hazel
Cluma pinaud as, de vergulde hand balsem

Very pleasent first shave with the lupo. OC and SB were very nice. In recent days I have struggled with ikon sbs, but this was nice and pleasent first time around.
 
What! You say, efsk doesn't shave for weeks on end and now twice in a row? That's because I got rid of my moustache this morning. Decided I like it better without. Judging by the look of relief on my wifes face she likes it better without as well.

Brush and soap:
Rod Neep Silvertip extra dense LE 2014 #07/12 Shasoc and Martin de Candre Vetiver:
In earlier times, I found vetiver to be a scent that didn't really appeal to me. Not bad, but not inviting either. However, since I've smelled it at MDC, my opinion has changed, this variant is delicious and I bought a jar of it when I was at MDC last autumn. Whipping up this lather with the Rod Neep Silvertip extra dense LE 2014 #07/12 Shasoc of the Martin de Candre Vetiver is a piece of cake, just load that brush well, whisk in the bowl and lather bomb. The quality is just fine, MDC.
Blade and razor:
Used the PolSilver Super Iridium for the 2nd time.
The PolSilver Super Iridium is fine! Nicely effective this combo Timeless Solid Bar scalloped 0.95 with PolSilver Super Iridium and still comfortable. All around smooth again with a nice smell.
Result: BBS.
Finally: matching scents and care with Rebul Dark Spice, Arko Nem Avokado ASB and Loris E-113 Hermes Terry. Nice shave.

Whether it's the Lupo or this new Indian blade, I don't know, but it was a comfortable shave...
