Shaving Soap: Dead Sea Shave Maelström

After Shave Balm:
Eau de Toilette: Treufitt & Hill West Indian Limes
Shaving: Kent BK8
Safety Razor: Wolfman TI22 / Stork Titanium Aristrocat handle

What a boundless pleasure that I have discovered the Dead Sea Shave what a mighty delicious shaving soap this is anyway.......but as always YMMV
And now that I haven't used menthol soaps for about 5 days I notice the cooling this shavingsoap has in it.
Are these menthol crystals or is it the peppermint oil ?? That we have to investigate because this soap is also worth a review.

J&T® Padoek finest 2-band badger Virginia Sheng,
Dead Sea Shave - Tempest,
Pal Injector,
Schick Proline P-20 8th x,
Mennen Baume Energisant,
Loris E-003 Acqua Di Gio.
Brush and soap:
J&T® Padoek finest 2-band badger Virginia Sheng and Dead Sea Shave - Tempest:
Badger in Dead Sea mud is not a messy business. No, that's nice earthy foam making, that shaves fine. I got this soap from a shaving friend, because he didn't like the scent. Well neither do I, I just like it, muddy and earthy with a fresh undertone.
Blade and razor:
The Schick Proline P-20 for the 8th x used.
Because it' s so nice, the Schick Proline comes into action again. In the Pal, as mentioned before, a top combi. So easy, forgiving and yet effective shaving, that I become smooth with no chance of damage.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Aftershave was not used, immediately balm on it and then a spray fougère by Loris. Again completely satisfied the day started.

Hi Friends,
here my belated Sunday Shave.
Razor: Weber
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium
Soap: Klar Klassik
Brush: Markus Herber Translucent
Aftershave: Klar Klassik
Pomade: Shear Revival Crystal Lake
First shave ever with the Klar Klassik and the Weber Razor. Great!!!
The scent of the soap is fantastic. Relaxing, clean and fresh. The lather was very easy to build and the glide and cushion was excellent.
The Weber was gentle and extreme smooth with the Polsilver blade. Very good combo.
Unfortunately i had to stop the shave after the second pass because my skin was highly irritated. On the 12th of September i have a "Date" with my Dermatologist, to see why i have this trouble from time to time.
The Aftershave is wonderful. The scent is very elegant, a bit "sweet" but masculine in the same way. Skincare is Top notch.
Have a great week and take care.

This was a nice shave. I totally agree with Kingjacks statement about the Timeless Smooth. The combination with the Bolzano turned out to be very good on its first use. Have a good day!

Pre-shave: Prep creme
Shaving Soap / Cream: Meissner Salty Sea Sage
After Shave : Weleda
After Shave Balm: Weleda
Shaving Brush: Shavemac 28 mm Fan Silvertip 2 band
Safety Razor: Wolfman TI22 / Stork Titanium Aristrocat handle

The Salty Sea Sage shaving soap once acquired from my great Belgian friend Snuffie because I appreciate this fragrance so much.
However, there was also a pot of Salty Sea shaving cream open and of course it had to be put on before the shaving soap was opened.
And this break has the soap absolutely no good done because the smell is as good as gone and we all find that of course very unfortunate ......for me

- Noble Otter - Two Kings
- Loris - E-025 (Boss Bottled)
What can i say, new soaps in and especially the Two Kings had made me very curious.
I can report that the Two Kings Lathered even more beautiful smells than it is dry! What a scent, it reminds me a bit of the Monarch, i would put it in the same category for sure. If you like the Monarch and love the smell of Roses, this is one for you!
As i have no accompanying Aftershave or EdT (damn those no-alcohol oversees shipping rules) i opted for the light touches of Boss Bottled. Not a great match, we will seek further

The Corte Sabauda is a beautiful smelling soap recommended to me by Eric from @Barbiere di Figaro and am I happy I listened to him
The Aust is a non-blunted American point razor, and the thing about these non-blunted points is tbey make you humble. They teach you the one thing that is important about shaving with a straight: focus. Lose focus: cut. So the moment I thought: almost cut myself, got away good there, was the moment that point dug itself into my face. I really have to learn shaving.
