Pre-Shave: Vitos Mentolo
Shaving Soap / Cream: Local Gent Shaving Eucalyptus Mint

Aftershave: Aqua Velva Fresh Control

Shaving Brush: Kent BK8

DE-Razor: Razorock German 37
DE-Blade: Gillette Nacet 1x


I cannot escape the impression that the Razorock German 37 is more efficient than the Merkur 37 but also less comfortable to shave.

Very curious if members who also own the Razorock and the Merkur endorse this statement.

Bowl lathering doesn't work yet with the new brush. Face lathering a bit bether.

I owned that same brush, for me bowl lathering worked very very well. must be that water-soap ratio.

I think it has to brake in. It will work out.

This is not a regular soap of Catie’s Bubbles but a cream. Very good stuff which lathers easy and feels great on the skin.

J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm,
Martin de Candre Rose,

Brush and soap:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and Martin de Candre Rose:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm with Martin de Candre Rose is a delicious foaming soap. Nice scent of roses. Not exaggerated, but pure!
Blade and razor:
The Rapira Platinum Lux for the 9th x used.
The Rapira Platinum Lux shaves smoothly on. It goes in the piggybank, but not because it's completely worn out, 9x is enough and it feels just a little less. The Blackbird V2 machined finish 85mm handle with the Rapira Platinum Lux is still a good shaving combination, but enough is enough.
Result: BBS.
Finally: nice fragrant finish with the PeReJa Rose edc, moisturize with Naturlife Krem Vazelin Gül Ve Aloevera Özlü and Rose Fernelle Provence et Nature Edt for another Provencal rose scent. Totally good and complete!

Pre-Shave: Bleubeards Revenge
Shaving Soap / Cream: TOBS Lemon & Lime

Aftershave: Aqua: Wichkam Citrus Musk

Shaving Brush: Edwin Jagger Silvertip Fibre XL

DE-Razor: Razorock Gamechanger SB 0,8
DE-Blade: Gillette Nacet 2x


I had written a while ago that this jar of ToBS Lemon & Lime should never have passed quality control.

When opening it was one big puddle of water and if it had been a lovely smell I would have sent the seller a complaint for sure. But this is by far one of the worst citrus scents I know so no action was taken. (Although it was a gift from Mrs. King)

But now he comes, only after 16 yeah you read it right after only 16 shaves he is already up, this means about 10 grams with each shave so much water was in it.

@The King will there be more varation in the soaps the coming period now this cream is finished? Or will the finishing program continue with other soaps?

 

[Hellas]

Good evening Gentlemen. Today’s morning shave was

• Noxzema Crema Rasatura Perfetta
• Calani Dubai
• Shavemac D01 24mm
• SWK Basic Scuttle
• GEM Junior
• Gem Stainless # 5
• Floid The Genuine

One more shaving soap the Local Gents Eucalyptus Mint that has to be used as soon as possible and then we're going to vary again. ​

Actually I have quite a lot of choice and a pot lasts way too long.

Treet Dura Sharp (1)

Myrsol Antesol + Emulsion

This razor should be handled very carefully. Very aggresive so I cant use this one daily. However, when used carefully it delivers a very close shave within de boundaries of expected smoothnes.
