I'm getting sloppy. Forgot to write down yesterdays shave, and noticed I forgot the one before that as well. It was the second shave in seven days, si I understand why I had a lot of hair to remove.

Nice set to froth: Shavemac Silvertip D01 2 band bulb 24 mm x 50 mm Jungle Moss and The Gentleman's Groom Room Essence of Scotland Scottish Heather. This soap also escaped the attention for a while, but now it's back in the picture. Nice fragrant and firm foam.
Blade and razor:
Used the Treet Dura Sharp for the 6th time.
The Treet Dura Sharp felt so bad that I put it in the piggy bank in the 1st round. Strange blade, I can shave well with it, but there is a lot of difference per razor and that is unpredictable. In the Apollo OC the Treet Dura Sharp is absolutely unpleasant. So I took the MMOC with a Gem Personna, which had already been used 9 times, and went on with it. That blade felt like new compared to the Treet. It's funny that I read good things about it, but I don't really know how to use it myself. Will try one more in the near future and otherwise I will have 97 too many.
Result: BBS.
Finally: appropriate scents and care of Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, Mennen Baume Energisant and Pinaud-Clubman Special Reserve.
In the end a very satisfactory shave.

I'll take them off your hands, if you decide they're not for you!
I like those Dura Sharps in every razor I them in... but as with every blade, I don't push it. I use every blade only three times.

Brush and soap:
Simpsons LE TSN 2013 P8 Phyl #195 Best Badger and TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Platinum:
Noxzema Protective Shave, Simpsons LE TSN 2013 P8 Phyl #195 Best Badger and TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Platinum are together a nice preparation for a good shave. Yes this shave was again completely satisfactory. Nice foam with a subtle scent, on the skin slightly cooled by the Noxzema, was the perfect start.
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte used for the 11th x. Gem Personna Pfte blades are excellent, this one for the 11th x. And after having taken care of everything I shave, this one wasn't finished yet. I guess the Ever-Ready Ambassador is one of my 4 best performing razors of this kind. So the Gem Personna Pfte can show its full potential. Nice smooth shave. Result BBS.
Finally: fresh floral closure with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Vivo Per Lei Hyacinth Hand & Body Lotion and Loris E-113 Hermes Terry. A satisfied start of the day again, as long as I don't look outside..... Gray skies above the meadows.

3 times are very well with this Treet, but I get out of the most blades minimal 5 shaves. I will try again 1 or 2 blades, because you and the King are shaving very well with them. Otherwise I wil keep you in mind Fedde.

Kai is one of the few blades that last 3 shaves for me. Most blades last 2 shaves.
Because of the high prices of Kai blades, it’s nice they last a little bit longer.

No, this was not the best razor/blade combination. Especially the first pass was a little tuggy.

Have a nice day!
