Brush and soap:
Yaqi R1605-S Tuxedo and TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Jermyn Street Sensitive:
I thought to use the Yaqi R1605-S Tuxedo to get the last remnants of TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Jermyn Street Sensitive out of the pot this morning, but it won't empty. Besides, I am not a fan of this soft cream at all. Tomorrow, I will try again. There will be no new pot. The stuff shaves well, but I don't like the smell and I don't have such a sensitive skin that I need this. Not worth the money for me.
Blade and razor:
Used the Astra Superior stainless for the 5th time.
This morning the Astra Superior stainless met my 5 standard with flying colors. In the Dscosmetic T7 316L SS titanium handle the Astra Superior stainless feels efficient and the combination comfortable enough for a beginner.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Cien Men Hydro Moisturizing and Loris E-085 Dior Fahrenheit on top, at least I don't smell those Tobs anymore.
 
Razor: Hone Type 15a
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless
Brush: Epsilon Butterscotch Amphora Edition
Soap: Spartium Natural Cosmetic Meštar - Picigin
Aftershave: Spartium Natural Cosmetic Meštar - Picigin

This is a new base for Spartium Natural Cosmetic, and they nail it! One of the best soaps i try. Excellent slicknes and protection and one of the best post-shave feeling!

Brush and soap:
J&T® Essen Jiamei Cosmetic imitation bristle 24 mm and TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Jermyn Street Sensitive:
Thinking I'm using the J&T® Essen Jiamei Cosmetic imitation bristle 24 mm this morning to get the last TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Jermyn Street Sensitive out of the pot, there's definitely enough in it for one more shave. Well then, tomorrow another shave, but then I'm really done with it.
Blade and razor:
Used the Astra Superior stainless for the 6th time.
The Astra Superior stainless is losing its sharpness. Tomorrow also another time, this 6th was good, but that was it. In the RazoRock Game Changer 0.84-P I hardly feel the Astra Superior stainless. Shaves well, but feels like a very easy combination. Not effective enough for my taste.
Result: BBS.
Finally: some fresh and caring stuff on, 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser, Abzehk Avocado cream and Loris E-048 Cool Water. The day has started nicely again. Are better shaves, but this was good enough again.
