Some 8 days ago already, my last shave, so it was necessary. First threepass shave in months, possibly first one this year.

After weeks of shaving with eminent Slants could today the Charcoal with base plate number 2 and equipped with a Torpedo grip pamper my face.
Equipped with a wonderfully comfortable Gillette Rubie Plus blade you know what to expect: a lighthearted shave.

And because the crest of the Graydog Hawaiian hardwood blanks curly mango 24mm. Finest Silvertip is so wonderfully soft, it was allowed to turn the Taylor cream into a nice qualitative lather.

In conclusion, I sprinkled myself liberally with the delicious scented water of Taylor so that I could start this Sunday fragrant.

I didn't shave for two days. Brush is already working really well. Low budget high quality.
 
Monday morning and that is the right day to use another cremé from the updraft. Not that the TOBS Peppermint does not please me no, on the contrary, this cream has one of the finest "earthy" peppermint scents. Why then posted in the layout program so the curious readers will rightly wonder?
Well there is a view through my young friend on a peppermint soap in which even delicious menthol crystals are processed, can it get any better?

But now something completely different, isn't it true that you start to appreciate something when you use the lesser alternative again after a long time?

Today the R41/ 2013 was used again and it becomes clear that compared to my new American generation razors such as Wolfmann, Timeless, and especially the Paradigm in terms of shaving comfort, the R41 clearly lacks balance.

Even with the deliberate placement of a Carbon blade that forces you to shave a little more quietly the R41 feels "rougher".
Mission accomplished because already during shaving you long for those comfortable razors that are also the better in terms of efficiency.

DS Cosmetics Z0 (R41) is a very efficient razor, but for me not very comfortable. Maybe it is the blade combo. I will use the muhle r41 with a ladas in the near future.
