Brush and soap:
Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush and Mitchells Woolfat:
Just loading with the Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush from the Mitchells Woolfat box and whisking in the bowl, produces a fabulously beautiful lather with a nice neutral scent. Shaving foam, nicely oily and soft on the skin, that makes the blade run properly.
Blade and razor:
Used the PolSilver Super Iridium for the 5th time.
The PolSilver Super Iridium effortlessly passed my 5 standard and will do so for some time to come. In the Gillette New Made in England effective shaving with the PolSilver Super Iridium, but not overly so. That razor is basic, shaves nicely, but I don't find it really comfortable.
Result: BBS.
Finally: on MWF you can apply anything, so 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser for the freshness, Braukmann Sport Cream good nourishing men's cream and Loris E-048 Cool Water for the nice smell.

Woh... not the best headshaving combi...
Not a very deep cut, but it took awhile for the bleeding to stop.
Ditched the blade, try a more known one .
 
Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
Omega boar brush
Cella shaving soap
Lupo + voskhod #3

After the shave I went for a bike ride. There was a chilly north western wind. I can't wait for spring to start.

Brush and soap:
J&T® Bamboo Tuxedo Syntheet 24mm and Cyril R. Salter Indian Sandalwood:
My tin of Cyril R. Salter Indian Sandalwood is almost empty. When it does, a new one will have to come immediately, because man what a nice sandalwood that is. The J&T® Bamboo Tuxedo Syntheet 24mm is a nice supple brush to whip up the firm cream into a nice fat and full eal slippery lather. So good start again this morning.
Blade and razor:
Used the PolSilver Super Iridium for the 6th time.
The PolSilver Super Iridium razor continues to work well. The Gillette Tech with the PolSilver Super Iridium is comfortable and very sparing. It runs nicely on the firm lather and leaves no trace of my beard. Given the less effective razor, it did require shaving 3x (wtg, xtg and atg), but with this lather, that's no punishment.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Provence et Nature Santal Absolu as a closing ritual.
This day, the sun is shining outside, cannot be spoiled.
 
Yet antother lovely shave with the wantonly destructed Tech. I find that this razor combined with a sharp blade like a Kai really delivers. Great stuff, really great.
