Brush: J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad,
Soap: Martin de Candre Rose,
Razor: Gillette Rocket HD,
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux 1st x,
Aftershave balsam: Naturlife Krem Vazelin Gül Ve Aloevera Özlü,
Edp: Provence et Nature Rose Fernelle.
Brush and soap:
J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad and Martin de Candre Rose:
Martin de Candre Rose is a nicely scented floral rose fragrance. Not overly strong, but nice if you like some sweet floral scent and especially this rose. Whipped up in the Grail with the J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad creates a nice bowl of fine lather. It can't get much better than this.
Blade and razor:
Used the Rapira Platinum Lux for the 1st time.
A fresh Rapira Platinum Lux you don't feel. This shaves beautifully certainly also lubricated with the MDC. The Gillette Rocket HD is very comfortable with the Rapira Platinum Lux, so that is also fine.
Result: BBS.
Finally: still a small setback, have everything of roses edc etc. already packed for the move, so it was a little search what is still available and that was Naturlife Krem Vazelin Gül Ve Aloevera Özlü and Provence et Nature Rose Fernelle. Well not bad either, but I do miss the spirited splash of edc.

Brush: Omega 80097,
Soap: TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Sandalwood,
Razor: Homelikeshaving TAIGA AISI 316L (satin),
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux 2nd x,
Edc: Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün,
Aftershave balsam: Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü,
Edp: Provence et Nature Santal Absolu.
Brush and soap:
Omega 80097 and TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Sandalwood:
Vintage Omega 80097 with classic TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Sandalwood is a nicely fragrant sandalwood start to this morning.
Blade and razor:
Used the Rapira Platinum Lux for the 2nd time.
A nice Rapira Platinum Lux, which is among my favorite blades, got the job done again. In the Homelikeshaving TAIGA AISI 316L (satin), the Rapira Platinum Lux shaves so efficiently, that I didn't need to set the razor higher, than 2 for a smooth skull. The rest nicely on 4 big strokes quickly home! Get more and more respect for that razor.
Result: BBS.
Finally: fresh, sweet and spicy finished with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Provence et Nature Santal Absolu.
Nicer is not necessary.

Greencult safety razor with M plate loaded with a Feather.
After I tested the S plate (mild) and L plate (aggressive), it was my turn today for the M plate (medium-aggressive).
Well, what should I capitalize? In principle, I personally get along with all 3 records.
Although the L plate needs a little more attention against the grain, the S plate, on the other hand, is almost foolproof and the M plate is more in the middle.
I also had a clean result with the M plate. Since the head is also new and has been revised, I would like to emphasize here that the Greencult with its 3 plates (coming around July/August) is a clear alternative to many other stainless steel safety razors.
We can't wait to see what the end product will look like. So far the 3 plates and the new head are prototypes.
