First use of the unbleached boar. Out of the package there isn't much smell. I first shampooed it. When wet there is a bit of smell. First use was not bad. Bigger omega's will not release the lather at the start. This does.

The razor has a lot of blade feel, but if handled with care will give a good shave. Two passes and at least dfs with little alum feel.

Brush and soap:
J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm and Meißner Tremonia Strong 'n Scottish:
Meißner Tremonia Strong 'n Scottish is one of those sturdy soaps with the scent of whisky smoke treated wood, nicely autumnal. Well I like it in the summer too, but this morning whipped up with the J&T® Zebrano OUMO Brush SHD WT (Super High Density, White Tips) finest 2-band badger 24 mm was quite good after a stormy night. Full of grease fragrant and above all gliding well.
Blade and razor:
The Personna - Lab Blue used for the 5th time.
The Personna - Lab Blue flashed through the beard with such a prime lather. 3 rounds with the Fatip Zebrano (OC) and Personna - Lab Blue mowed the whole thing nice and smooth again.
Result: BBS.
Finally: fragrant end with Rebul Dark Spice, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Pinaud-Clubman Whiskey Woods made it complete.

Switched to the open comb for my head shave, but however the Masamune is very nice shaver, it does clog up pretty quick... cc or oc

Did the first pass with the Dumas. It isn't sharp enough. I will hone it further.
 
While the precipitation from the heavy cloud cover made the sky grey I felt the need to shave with a summery soap.
After some contemplation, my finest rose scent with the necessary menthol crystals was extracted from the stock and the soap while foaming up I felt the sun proverbially rise.

From my American shaving friend Les I was able to obtain a new shaving brush, the Graydog Hawaiian hardwood blanks curly mango 24mm. Finest Silvertip.
Quite a mouthful but this is actually the brush in my possession that has the softest bristles, what a pleasure to soap yourself up with this.
