Brush and soap:
Plisson Fibre and Einseifer Wiener Duft:
The supple Plisson Fibre has trouble foaming the hard Einseifer Wiener Duft soap. However, once it got going, I had a nice lather. Such a fragrant floral barbershop smell in the firm fat foam.
Blade and razor:
Used the Treet Dura Sharp for the 5th time.
The Treet Dura Sharp is a troublesome blade for me. Won't make it too bad, but Derby Extra is almost the same height for me. Now used 5 times, but had to take the Schick L at the back of my head to get it smooth there. I am talking about the 5th shave. My underline for blades, which are sufficient. That in the combination RazoRock Game Changer 0.84-P with the Treet Dura Sharp. This is the third blade I feel this way, so it really will be the quality of those blades for me. This confirms that not everything is the same for everyone, as two of my shaving friends, whose knowledge I appreciate and who were the cause of this purchase, are quite happy with it. Tomorrow this one will be in an adjustable, but then I think I will have found out.
Result: DFS.
Finally: the Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon remains nicely disinfecting and refreshing, after which the Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion moisturises the skin again. Fragrance of the Loris E-113 Hermes Terry and again very good in the end.

Brush and soap:
Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm and TFS Neroli Strong:
7 years ago I bought my first jar of TFS Neroli Strong. I really liked the smell of the Neroli at the time, so I am now working on the second pot. I am still enjoying this TFS soap very much. The Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm makes a firm foam, which is easy to apply. Good start.
Blade and razor:
Used the Treet Dura Sharp Stainless for the 6th x.
The Treet Dura Sharp Stainless has been put in the piggy bank today. It has been used with pain and effort for 6 turns. Tomorrow another blade, which I know is good. Let's see what I then think about this Treet, but I' m not at all undividedly positive. The Gillette Black Beauty Long Handle adjustable at 5 for the skull and 7 for the face with the Treet Dura Sharp Stainless got, with some effort, enough smoothness, but that can definitely be done better and easier! This blade is not a topper for me.
Result: DFS.
Finally: fresh, fragrant and nourishing finished with the Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Mennen Baume Energisant and Loris E-113 Hermes Terry.
Satisfied again, but that blade??????

Hot Water Splash
Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge Shave Soap
Morris & Forndran Lee 7 in Blonde Badger
Riga 7/8 in Buffalo Horn
Scrupleworks Veggie Tanned Horse .. 30/50
Bloc Osma
Thayer's Witch Hazel .. Rose Petal
Pinaud's Clubman Splash

It's quite rare that I use a razor so close up in the rotation, but this Riga handles so nicely and is so keen, I just wanted to use it again.
I've said it before, but I will truly miss these Czech & Speake soaps.. just superior performance for me. The Lee 7 is a real M&F, not from the collaboration.. A Blonde I hold dear to my heart..

A close, enjoyable shave...
