Brush and soap:
Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush and Cyril R. Salter Indian Sandalwood:
Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush with Cyril R. Salter Indian Sandalwood is a nice start of a woody shave job.
Blade and razor:
The Gillette Nacet Stainless for the 5th x used.
The Arabic Gillette Nacet Stainless (original from Russia) reaches my 5 norm in good condition, now up to the average use. Excellent performance so far. In the Timeless Solid Bar scalloped 0.95 the Gillette Nacet Stainless is quite effective and I am nice and smoothly shaved in the end. With this razor I have to make sure that the skin on the back of my head remains intact, but otherwise a comfortable and effective shaving combination. Nice work.
Result: BBS.
Finally: beautiful in the scent line Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Loris So Oud. Find myself enjoying the fragrance.

The henckels is still not sharp enough. I will go back to a lower grit honne and start again. The Vincent was good.

Is the replacement for my 26mm. Shavemac that fell out all the time and I am very satisfied with it.

Because of its SHD version it's full of foam but gives it off very easily to the skin.

And I can't make it any different than I already wrote it is a 26mm bun. :kaputtlachen1

Well this new Pearl Flexi is heavy, the handle is fat, it's a nicely made razor.
The first pass I used it at 3, for the second I opened it to 5, but back to 3 for the third pass.
The heaviness made the shave feel scratchy, better my technique, I will use the Flexi in the milder section tomorrow...

Brush and soap:
Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm and Simpson Sandalwood:
Simpson Sandalwood is a delicious cream to shave with. Gives a fragrant thick, tough foam that absorbs a lot of water, with a fine sandalwood scent. I have sandalwood, which I like better, but this one scores high. The Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm fills up completely with this beautiful dense foam and soaping is a piece of cake. The bowl is only needed to put the brush in, when the soap has foamed up.
Blade and razor:
The Gillette Nacet Stainless (Russia) used for the 6th x.
The Gillette Nacet Stainless passed comfortably through the hair. The foam leaves a nice film on the skin and therefore you can continue shaving. The Timeless Solid Bar scalloped 0,68 runs smoothly over the skin and allows the Gillette Nacet Stainless to do its work perfectly.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, TFS Crazy Sandalwood ASB en Provence et Nature Santal Absolu for the delicious scent, even if the foam is still on the skin.
