It's literally quite an operation to shave after a surgical operation.
But it worked, so maybe in three days or so you'll get another shave.

Gute Besserung my friend and nice shave!

I see you have the Prep cream from South Africa. I have it also and I think it’s fantastic!

To be honest (as always) I think the European Prep smells better than the South African Prep

The South African has a slightly sharper scent, which suppresses the Camphor.
In terms of menthol level they are the same and that could have been a bit higher for me.

But the most important thing is that it is a fantastic cream that I use as a pre-shave by the way.
 
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Voskhod (2)
Pre-Shave: Proraso
Soap: KEPKINH Vanilla
Brush: AP Shave CO 24mm Silksmoke Black handle
Aftershave: Physalis Hamameliswater
Aftershave: Brut Original
Aftershave: Speick Men Aftershave Balm Sensitiv
EDT: Brut Original

It's a litle bit colder at the moment a nice sweet scent is the way to go.

Tuesday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Gillette day 4
Bundubeard Kameelperd’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Pe Re Ja Lemon Cologne

The Gillette blade is performing very well for me - today was my fourth use of it. Once again I had the pleasure of using Jaco’s gold medal worthy Kameelperd soap and I enjoyed the rich, thick, meringue-like lather with its beautiful coffee/peppermint scent, as well as its off the charts menthol freeze which is easily a match for any of the Stirling Glacials. The Prep and the Alcolado Glacial both felt wonderful, and the Pe Re Ja is a most delightful lemony scented cologne from Turkey used in barbershops over there. Three passes gave me a perfect BBS shave!

It’s really a case of YMMV because I find both versions of Prep have the same scent and great, cooling skincare. I’ve been bringing in a lot of soaps from South Africa lately.

Brush and soap:
Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush and Klar Kabinett:
It's getting a bit monotonous, what I have to say lately. Note, that I actually brought a little too little and haven't found anything in the shop yet, which is worth it. So this morning it was again the Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush with the Klar Kabinett. Not a punishment in itself, but the day before yesterday also roses?
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte for the 6th x used.
This time another blade through the rose foam, the Gem Personna Pfte. This 6x used knife has not yet reached its end. The Gem G Bar and the Gem Personna Pfte knife are of course made for each other. This provides an absolutely unique combination with unprecedented shaving properties. Actually, every self-respecting wet shaver should have such a combination at home! Now 14 hours later I'm still unacceptably smooth.
Result: BBS.
Finally: The Turkish Ilgaz Rose Isparta edc, with the Regina Floris Rose Oil of Bulgaria ASG brought the skin back in shape, which was not really necessary after the fine soap and the razor-sharp Gem combination. Nice smell of the Rose Fernelle Provence and Nature for the environment.
Lazy day, cooking yourself and making plans for the rest of the trip.
