Nice shave today. The soap I bought last year in Normandy in a supermarket. Cheap, nice soap. Not particularly special but nonetheless a nice soap. Does what it is supposed to do. The post shave characteristics are remarkable though.

Blade , Bolzano Superinox ( 3 ) , not the best blade i own , so in the trashcan . :eek:
Brush , Yaqi Synthetic . :herz1

Cologne , Jo Malone , Lime , Basil & Mandarin . goodjob!

Weird smell this soap. Peppermint/Menthol/Rosewood according to the description. They fit together, but it takes some effort on their part :) Quallity is perfect.
Second shave with the Krect/Kai combi (wrote it down wrong in the previous sotd, where it says voskhod instead of kai). Perfect shave.

Brush and soap:
Semogue SOC Bristle Cherrywood and Mama Bear Siberian Fir Needle:
A refreshing turn this sunny morning with pine needles in the bathroom. Yeah, well must make something of it this too quiet period. Semogue SOC Bristle Cherrywood with Mama Bear Siberian Fir Needle makes a nice natural scent and fine foam.
Blade and razor:
The Rapira Platinum Lux for the 7th x used.
The Rapira Platinum Lux is again fine in already the 7th turn. The Mulcuto Schrägschnitt (metal) together with the Rapira Platinum Lux is a good combination. Effective and forgiving. Isn't that what we are looking for? Beautifully and smoothly shaved.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Cooling, conditioning and refreshing with Alcolado Glacial, Pino Silvestre Moisturizing & Lenitiv After Shave Balm and Pino Silvestre Aftershave Vapo Naturel puts the senses back on edge.
 
Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
Omega boar brush
Speick shaving stick
Universal shavette+ Lord class ss #1

Initially I tought the smell of the Omega was not too bad. Then it hid the water and the full smell came to life.

The shave was not bad tough.

The picture doesn't do justice to the Krect; such a beautiful razor!

Anybody know of a good spreadsheet app for android? I'm switching to a little less Google impregnated phone, but I can't seem to find a good excel-like alternative. ..
