Today was a great day.

The Tatara goes back to its owner unfortunately because it is a great razor.

Then the CBL Orânge Dirt that Lathered up gives a wonderful smell and a fantastic high quality lather.

The Tabac shaving cream is by far not as good as the Tabac shaving soap. No wonder it’s stored behind the other shaving stuff.
Maybe I give it another try in a few months.

Today I finally received the coconut lime from Maggard... after that I made another order, hope it doesn't take that long to get here to Frysland. Anyway, the shave... out of the pot, this soap is not primarily coconut lime. Once in the brush this smell comes up more... yes I like it, fresh and summery. I'm sorry I didn't order the ash... who knows when I next order it. Now something different actually you should have a separate brush for each soap with a different smell. When I took the used silvertip from the cabinet it smelled so good to the previous soap that it's almost a shame to use it. (Persian lime from Vulfix)

28 mm NiB silvertip extra dense
Colibri 7/8.
Stirling Coconut lime.
No alum or splass from anything today.
I wish everyone happy pinksteren

The first time I used a Croma blade, but I have to say that I am not impressed at all. Not a bad blade, but certainly not one for in my upper ten.

The short Blackbird handle (thanks Hans!) gives some heft to the Lupo, balance is okay.
The Lupo gives a nice shave but it's not in my top five.

I skipped the shave yesterday. A two pass shave with the globusmann and I was smooth again. It is a very effectieve razor.

@jaap ouderwets scheren how is the cella lavende?
The Cella Lavanda is oké. It,s not really a verry strong aftershave , but a good cologne. And , 250 ML for this price ( 15 euro ) gives vallue for the money. :daumenhoch
