M-keramiek scuttle
J&T rubberset copy
Arko sensitiv shaving cream
Kirby beard + Treet durasharp #2
Vdh alum
Dickinsons witch hazel
Cella eau lavenda, Arko sensitiv balsem
In combination with the Kirby the yellow red Treet was very nice. For the rest a lot of lavenda smell to compensate the cloudy weather after all the sunshine of the last weeks.

Prep Skin Protective Cream,
Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle,
Arko,
Gem G Bar,
Gem Personna Pfte 12th x,
Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon,
Mennen Baume Energisant,
Loris E-048 Cool Water.
Brush and soap:
Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle and Arko:
This morning extended the time for my ritual, so apply Prep Skin Protective Cream, then a nice foam made with the Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle in my bowl of Arko. Still remains a top soap, whatever you think of the smell, which I like.
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte used for the 12th x. The Gem Personna Pfte is ripe for the piggy bank after 12 shaves. Still had some cut in it, but not good enough for this type of blade, so exit. In the Gem G Bar a Gem Personna Pfte is a soft shaving blade, but this one was less. Soft, but not efficient. In the end nice and smooth all around, but that could go much better. Result BBS.
Finally: with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon the Arko neutralized. Then brought the skin back in good condition with Mennen Baume Energisant and refreshed with Loris E-048 Cool Water. Beautifully fresh!

Today a shavestick, I'm still looking for Valobra sticks but the only place she had in stock was BdF in the netherlands but €12 for a stickie is a bit much.
Would you also like to experiment with making my own sticks out of some shaving soaps (like MdC), somebody has an address where you can get the empty shaving tubes you can buy (in Europe)?
Have a nice weekend everyone!

Pre-Shave: Balea
Shaving Soap/cream: Le Père Lucien Abricot
Shaving Brush: Shavemac 28 mm. Syntheet FAN
DE-Razor: Fatip OC Zebrano wood
DE-Blade: Gillette Nacet 1x
Aftershave: Le Père Lucien Abricot
The renewed acquaintance with the Abricot of LPL has pleased me wonderfully.
Not so long ago I disposed of an almost full pot because the smell was so weak that there was nothing to smell of apricot in the foam.
Is this a fresh pot or was it shot out with the smell oil? Either way it smells much stronger.
The accompanying aftershave is also quite strong and even gets the approval of Mrs. Koning.

Yaqi R1605-S Tuxedo,
D.R. Harris Lavender,
Fatip Piccolo Special Edition (SB),
Souplex B choice 1st x,
PeReJa Lavender edc,
Weleda Aftershave Balsam,
L.T. Piver lotion Lavande.
Brush and soap:
Yaqi R1605-S Tuxedo and D.R. Harris Lavender:
Delicious fragrant lavender foam beaten with the Yaqi R1605-S Tuxedo from the jar D.R. Harris Lavender. This cream or soft soap has a nice scent and produces a very firm full fat foam.
Blade and razor:
The Souplex B choice for the 1st x used.
The Souplex B choice is a blade in my top series. The cut is just good from start to finish and the durability is high, but that differs a bit per blade. The average is 9 to 10 turns. The Fatip Piccolo Special Edition (SB) with this Souplex B choice is therefore very comfortable and easy to shave.
Result: BBS.
Finally: refresh with the PeReJa Lavender edc, unnecessary care of the Weleda Aftershave Balsam and a nice syringe L.T. Piver lotion Lavanda to perpetuate the delicious scent of the French lavender fields.
Too bad the better shaves are so over!
