Maybe it is the indian razor not getting along with the pakistani blade or the otherway around. You never know.

Definitely bang for the buck!
Looks good, feels nice, it's sturdy made.
And like I said, heavy... and after only two shaves I think it's not for me.
Could be the blade, trying a Rubie tomorrow I think.

Omega 80097,
Stirling Varen,
Merkur 38C HD Long Handle Barber Pole,
Gillette Nacet Stainless (Russia) 8th x,
Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon,
Stirling Sailing ASB,
Loris E-003 Acqua Di Gio .
Brush and soap:
Omega 80097 and Stirling Sailing:
Nice fougère foam beaten with the Omega 80097 and Stirling Varen. Wet bunch with nice polystichum setiferum or fern in the edge. How beautiful is that.
Blade and razor:
The Gillette Nacet Stainless (Russia) for the 8th x used.
The Gillette Nacet Stainless ended up in the piggy bank. 8x was enough for this knife. The beard still came off, but with attention. Maybe the tame Merkur 38C HD Long Handle Barber Pole razor was too comfortable for the Gillette Nacet Stainless, but 8 shaves and all good ones, is not nothing. Quite satisfied with this Arabic version of this Russian blade.
Result: DFS.
Finally: the Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon is a bit of a outsider with the lime scent, but nice and fresh. Finished with matching ASB, Stirling Varen ASB and Loris E-003 Acqua Di Gio.

Le grelot 30
Humphrey's cucumber mellon witch hazel
Arko platinum as, De vergulde hand balsem
I used the le grelot 30 I honed yesterday. It worked out well. It was sharp. I'm not some kind of connaisseur yet that can guess the finishing stone on the base of the shave. I can only say the edge improved.
First time use of the new zenith. The handle isn't privacy friendly it mirrors everything. Bowl lathering with the cade wasn't a succes so I went further with face lathering and arko. I think the brush will break in quickly.
Arko platinum is a creed aventus clone.

It had been a few days ago, so the razor had to go over it again. Actually not that much time, but showing up unshaven when you have an appointment is not okay either.
Schulte & Schroder. 7/8.
synthetic brush.
Arko soap.
alum.
Mont Blanc Legend. result.
a 1 pass shave was good enough today.

Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis,
Martin de Candre Vetiver,
RazoRock Game Changer 0.84-P,
Tatra Patinum Stainless 1st x,
Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon,
Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü,
Loris E-003 Acqua Di Gio .
Brush and soap:
Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis and Martin de Candre Vetiver:
With this brush Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis and Martin de Candre Vetiver soap to start provides a fine bowl of foam.
Blade and razor:
The Tatra Patinum Stainless for the 1st x used.
From a shaving acquaintance (Ehv) I got a few boxes of Czech blades to try. They were already here for a while, because there was a trip and some other blades in between, but now the first one, the Tatra Patinum Stainless. Of course you need several turns and blades to separate the wheat from the chaff, but this one is not wrong. The first strokes felt good right away. Not super as a Kai or Rapira PL, but certainly supple and with a nice cut. Could of course be the RazoRock Game Changer 0.84-P in which almost every blade does well, but the Tatra Patinum Stainless feels immediately familiar. Nicely smooth on the head as well as the cheeks and in the neck.
Result: BBS.
Finally: classic tune Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Loris E-003 Acqua Di Gio.
Satisfied again.

Pre-Shave: Treufitt & Hill gel
Shaving Soap/cream: TOBS Royal Forest
Shaving Brush: YAGI 26 mm. Tuxedo
DE-Razor: Charcoal SB Level 2 Antique Brass
DE-Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux 2x
SE-Razor: Feather Professional Artist Club DX
SE-Blade: Feather Professional
Aftershave: Brooklyn Soap Company
Eau de Toilette: Calvin Klein Obsession
The third and last course was used by the Feather and now that the necessary experience returns, the fun with this Shavette starts to increase again.
And it really shaves smoother when only the de-razor is used.
