Brush and soap:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and Le Père Lucièn - le Savon du Barbier:
Prep Skin Protective Cream, J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and Le Père Lucièn - le Savon du Barbier feel like a very good base for a successful shave. Well that was it. The foam was perfect.
Blade and razor:
The Shapu Super Stainless for the 5th x used. The Shapu Super Stainless reached my 5 norm easily, so also perfect. The Fatip Grande Rutinia with the Shapu Super Stainless goes well together and was very effective, so also perfect. Result BBS.
Finally: splashing with Rebul Lavanda, moisturizing with Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion and a scent with a decent depth of Loris E-85 Dior Fahrenheit was very nurturing and pleasant, so also perfect. Conclusion: perfect start of the day.
 
Euhh , de vergulde hand ? And you like this soap ?

First use of it and I have no complaints.
I've been informed that it's the oldest shaving soap in the world at over 450 years old. They must be doing something correct to have lasted so long.

'wat van ver komt is goed'. Maybe there is truth in that saying. It is because it is the only shaving soap availlable in the dutch supermarkts and it is cheap too. We don't appreciate it. So the reverse could also be true. @Clouds if you like it use it.

Altough it makes my skin itch, because it is really drying. @The King advices to add a drop glycerine.

We also have a cheap local soap that I happily use but others complain about.
I have extremely oily skin so soaps that dry me out suit me. My wife and I use different soaps even for washing our hands.

A verry nice shave , and BBS extra.
Razor , a bakelite slant , no brand to find , the only thing i found is the number 6 in the head.
Blade , Gillette Nacet ( 4 ).
Brush , a German vintage , pure bristles , with a new Synthetic knot.
Shaving cream , TOBS Grapefruit.
And after the 3 passes , a big splash Floid Dopobarba.
