- Yaqi Evil Zebra (Timberwolf)
- Mama Bear - Polo Green
The soap is a hit, such a nice smell, i instantly recognize Polo Green, an Aftershave i rather like, damn now i have to get me a bottle (again)
Mama Bear are nice shaving soaps, rich foam, and good skin care, the scent of this one was strong enough to stay a while after shaving, all in all i am very happy with this one.

Mwf body lotion
Semogue boar brush
Haslinger schafsmilch rs
Heljestrand mk30
Vergulde hand alum
Thayer's witch hazel
Pitralon original, isana ultrasensitive balsem
First shave with the heljestrand mk30. It is a small razor. I did not hone it. It was plenty sharp. I just stropped it.
Pitralon pure; the strange thing I do not really like the smell, but in a strange way I'm atracted to use it. It is not the normal sweet smelling modern scents.

J&T® Padoek finest 2-band badger Virginia Sheng,
Razor Master Ari (Pine),
Gillette Slim adjustable,
Sharp Durablade HI Chromium 5th x,
Green Freeze Lemon (Osage/Mens/Cajuputi/Menthol/Lemon),
Seinz. After Shave Balsam,
Loris E-048 Cool Water.
Brush and soap:
J&T® Padoek finest 2-band badger Virginia Sheng and Razor Master Ari (Pine):
I was standing with the J&T® Padoek finest 2-band badger Virginia Sheng in the Razor Master Ari (Pine) to stir, until the smell of pine forests enters the house, because they will know them in Finland, but unfortunately, there was no such sensation. The smell is in the distance and the soap also smells nice, but not the pine trees I expected. What did come was a good foam for a pleasant shave, but yes, I already have enough of that.
Blade and razor:
The Sharp Durablade HI Chromium for the 5th x used.
The Sharp Durablade HI Chromium did a reasonable turn this morning, but 5x is enough. Ergo piggy bank. In the Gillette Slim adjustable at 6 for the skull and 7 for the face, the Sharp Durablade HI Chromium is a nice combination, but I think it could be better. To know that a Kai is planned for tomorrow.
Result: BBS.
Finally: As I had set myself for freshness the Green Freeze Lemon (Osage/Mennen/Cajuputi/Menthol/Lemon) stood ready and so the eyes will open of it to the Seinz. After Shave Balsam the effect softened. Some Loris E-048 Cool Water for the final scent note and still a good shave. Just a pity about the pine forests.

Pre-Shave: Proraso
Shaving Soap: TOBS Sandalwood
After Shave: DR Harris
After Shave Balm : TOBS Sandalwood
Eau de Toilette: TOBS Sandalwood
Shaving Brush: Yagi 30 mm. Tuxedo
DE-Razor: IKon SBS
DE- Blade: Personna Bleu Lab USA 1x
C'était horrible.
The shave today was the worst of many years what a blood-red misery.
Tjebbe lent me an iKon SBS shaving head and today he was allowed to make his appearance with a new Personna.
And where I normally liked iKon very much I went wrong with the SBS at the fifth stroke and that went on like this.
The most striking "war" wound is a large cut in my upper lip when I put the shaving head completely wrong.
Just a shave to forget about very quickly.

A few bad shaves in 24 hours !
We need to practice .

@The King I also have a SBS; never used it.
No you have made me terrified to ever use it and made it impossible to sell.
But I like your honest review and are willing to be the Guinea pig. I was always curious how it would shave, because of the head design. Some people like to shave with a pils and that head also looks akward to me.
I hope your face will quickly heal.

Yes I should use a blade only once, as the Gillette Nacet gave me a very good shave on the first use.
