Brush and soap:
M Ceramic APShaveCo flat top syntheet and Rose of Bulgaria:
Whipped up Rose this morning with the M Keramics APShaveCo flat top syntheet from the Rose of Bulgaria cream. Nice rich lather this gives, which has the scent of roses just fine.
Blade and razor:
Used the Gillette Nacet Stainless for the 2nd time.
The flashy sharp Gillette Nacet Stainless gives a fine cut. Even in the tame Merkur 38C HD Long Handle Barber Pole is the Gillette Nacet Stainless effective, so a nice comfortable and smooth result.
Result: BBS.
Finally: with the Rose of Bulgaria AS, Kashmir Rose Lanna Oriental Spa Lotion and Provence et Nature Rose Fernelle a nice rose finish and fresh again for the day.

After the suspension with the raw-shaving R41/ 2013, today the demarche with (vintage) slant razors was resumed.
The Fasan with its open comb was fitted with a Feather blade but this logically did not weigh down this lightweight razors.
And if you are a fan of heavier razors, the first shave after a very long time with such a lightweight is always a bit of a search. Even a small wound under the right chin was my share today.

Now there are of course minded readers who would advise me to place a heavier handle underneath.

With that they are almost completely in their right, were it not for the fact that then the real Vintage slant enthusiasts would have had to miss this beautiful photographic image where we see the Fasan in all its splendor.

@The King I still consider myself a newbie to wetshaving with a DE. But I noticed that the combination of the treet carbon or classic with a slant (liese, 37c, maggard, ibsen and fasan) really give me comfortable shaves. There is hardly any alum feedback.

Brush and soap:
J&T® Essen Jiamei Cosmetic imitation bristle 24 mm and The Art of Shaving Ocean Kelp:
The imitation pig, J&T® Essen Jiamei Cosmetic imitation bristle 24 mm, is a nicely serviceable brush. It's obviously synthetic, but successful and an easy lather beater. The Art of Shaving Ocean Kelp gives mellow lather, so that was fine this morning.
Blade and razor:
Used the Gillette Nacet Stainless for the 3rd time.
Gillette Nacet Stainless (Russia) is still like new. In the Mühle R41 (2013) the Gillette Nacet Stainless (Russia) is particularly effective. The combo is a bit too much for my skull so I used the Gem G Bar with an almost new blade for that as well. Nice and smooth on the head, cheeks and neck.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Braukmann Sport Cream and Loris E-048 Cool Water, which all fits nicely fresh with the Ocean Kelp.
