Brush and soap:
J&T® Padouk finest 2-band badger Virginia Sheng and Oleo Montrose Beach:
The Oleo Montrose Beach is a nice somewhat sweet soap, with some spicy firmness at the same time, but the beach feeling predominates oor the vetiver used. Whipped up with the J&T® Padouk finest 2-band badger Virginia Sheng it gives a sumptuous lather.
Blades and razor:
Used the PolSilver Super Iridium for the 8th time.
The PolSilver Super Iridium could perhaps have been used once more, but 8 times is also enough. The Fatip Zebrano (OC) with this PolSilver Super Iridium is a pleasant one. Funny how the Fatip razors have evolved from quite effective to comfortably effective. I really like shaving with this latest generation razor.
Result: BBS.
Finally: some good smells, freshness and care with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Cien Men Hydro Care and Loris E-197 Zarkoperfume Oud'Ish Edp.

Normally when I shave later on the day, it feels a little tuggy; not with this combi!
Comfortable and smooth!

Brush and soap:
Omega 20102 and Mama Bear Awakenings:
It was another one of those mornings for a fresh pick-me-up, so with the Omega 20102 firmly waggled through the Mama Bear Awakenings, until a nice invigorating lather emerged, with which the big pig was generously filled. Nice brushing up and quietly the cooling worked in.
Blade and razor:
The Feather stainless Platinium for the 2nd time used.
The Feather stainless Platinium is fine and will remain so for some time. I used to find these blades much too sharp, but somehow that feeling is completely gone.The Dscosmetic T7 316L SS titanium handle with this Feather stainless Platinium is a very comfortable combination. Shaves nice and smooth all around.
Result: BBS.
Finally: cooling down with Alcolado Glacial, Toco-Tholin Lavender ASB and Pitralon Polar.
Again fully alert!
