Brush and soap:
LiJüN silvertip 3 band and Stirling Varen:
It's starting to look like I've made it a bit of a habit to apply some preshave before the foaming. Today the Prep Skin Protective Cream. Just wonder if it really helps, because I sometimes think that it makes my skin more sensitive, because I have to use alum more regularly to stop a leak. Then this morning after prepping I used the LiJüN silvertip 3 band to beat a nice firm foam from the Stirling Varen. This soap is in my opinion a firm and successful fougère fragrance with the famous Stirling shaving quality.
Blade and razor:
The Gillette Platinum for the 6th x used. The blade is surprisingly good in already the 6th turn. This Gillette Platinum is beginning to become more and more valuable to me. It's still not the ultimate top blade for me, but it's certainly in the bandwidth of this kind! The question is of course how constant the quality is, because this is the 1st blade from the 1st box, but the acquaintance is certainly good. In the Timeless Solid Bar scalloped 0.68 it's fine to shave with the Gillette Platinum. Because of the weight of the razor, I really have to make sure that there is no pressure, but then it's also a lovely soft shave. And here comes the question: is my preshave too soft? Or does that possibly have to do with aging of the skin? Interesting to find out, but doesn't in any way detract from the pleasant blade. Result BBS.
Finally: no eau de cologne today. Everything feels clean and fresh enough, so apply Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion and some extra fougere from the Loris E-003 Acqua Di Gio.

Pre-Shave: Blackbeards Revenge

Shaving Soap/cream: Lea Classic
Shaving Brush: Yagi 26 mm. Tuxedo

DE-Razor: Razorock Gamechanger SB 0,84
DE-Blade: Treet Dura Sharp 1x

Aftershave: Weleda
Aftershave balm: Speick

The skin is somewhat calm after weeks of being irritated so for the first time tried the Treet Dura Sharp.

A smooth introduction, I may say, but for a correct judgement the skin must be completely calm.

Some things that I want to empty as soon as possible always last longer than I thought.
