Brush and soap:
LiJüN silvertip 3 band and Extro Dandy:
With LiJüN silvertip 3 band nice firm foam made of the Extro Dandy. This soap is fragrant, but pleasant, a kind of floral barbershop scent.
Knife and razor:
The Personna - Lab Blue for the 6th x used.
A convincing knife again this Personna - Lab Blue. In the 6th turn still fine cut. Feeling that way, the 7th will also succeed. The combination Lutz Slant with the Personna - Lab Blue is fine. Not angle sensitive and not overly effective. Exactly right and nicely shaved.
Result: BBS.
Finally: the matching Extro Dandy AS and Weleda Aftershave Balsam were an excellent caring finish. No stuff that smells like a couple of hours.
 
No fun to be a truck driver at the moment.
All places are closed , and its hard to find a place to shave and take a shower.
But , found one.
Razor , Bakelite unknown slant.
Blade , Gillette 7o clock ( 1 ).
Brush , Isana Synthetic.
Soap , P & B Imperial Rum.
AS , Geo F Trumper Bay Rum.
Nice and smooth shave in 3 passes.

This Riga arrived last week, and today was it's first outing. This being my third Riga, I had no doubt that the shave would be great, and I was not disappoionted.. These Riga Razors never cease to amaze... perfect grinds, symmetrical with small bevels... edges absolutely shave ready.
I hesitate to call this one a custom, but Sergej and I worked together on the design. I chose different traditional design elements from many razors, and the result is exactly what I had envisioned.
For those that have never tried a Riga, I think you are missing out on something very special...

Delicious shave. Very nice soap, and the Ebor really delivers.
 
Because it was my better half's birthday today, all the stuff was set ready by her, not that I disagreed, super stuff! My best badger brush, a super razor and the rest speaks for itself. Madam has been spoiled: breakfast in bed like every day but this time extensive. A giant bouquet of roses. Some presents to unpack hidden in different rooms (you have to do something in these times to keep moving ), I cooked a very nice Indian meal for madam and tonight I make a Surinamese menu, the rest is for 16+ and is not to be mentioned here. :nein1

Prep Skin Protective Cream,
Omega 80097,
Elly's Baltic Breeze,
Fatip Piccolo Special Edition (OC),
Personna - Lab Blue 8th x,
4711 Real Kölnisch Wasser,
Mennen Baume Energisant,
Loris E-048 Cool Water.

Brush and soap:
Omega 80097 and Elly's Baltic Breeze:
As the skin is a bit sensitive, the head is first thoroughly treated with Prep Skin Protective Cream. Then the Elly's Baltic Breeze with the Omega 80097 foamed. As this soap needs some time to lather up, I first let some hot water run on it and soaked it until I started using it. Well and then it's a piece of cake to make a nice lather. So I firmly aplyed the foam with a somewhat spicy and aquatic scent.
Blade and razor:
The Personna - Lab Blue for the 8th x used. The Personna - Lab Blue delivered a good shave again, but put it in the piggy bank, because 8x is enough and a nice number of shaves. With the Fatip Piccolo Special Edition (OC) and the Personna - Lab Blue I got a nicely effective cut and was smooth all around again. Couldn't be much better. Result: BBS.
Finally: the 4711 Real Kölnisch Wasser is doing fine with the Baltic Breeze. The Mennen Baume Energisant is coming to an end, but still gives excellent care. A puff of Loris E-048 Cool Water finished the whole thing fragrantly.
