Australian Private Reserve - Lavioletta
Timeless 0,95 Smooth
Gillette Platinum (1)
Humprey’s Astringent
Stirling Bergamot Lavender ASB
The APR Lavioletta is a flowery scent with Lavender as main scent note. To my nose is a soft, sweet scent. The scent strenght is not very strong during the shave, although well noticable.
The Gillette Platinum I used for the first time. For me it is a 13-in-a-dozen blade: it shaves wel but nothing special. It was a nice shave with a very close result. Have a good day gentleman!
Razor: Timeless Ti 0.95 OC
Blade: Hema Blade (5)
Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre
Soap: KEPKINH Anise & Cedrus
Brush: AP Shave CO 24mm Cashmere Jet Black handle
Aftershave: Physalis Hamameliswater
Aftershave: Hema Fresh Eau de Cologne
Aftershave: Speick Men Aftershave Balm Sensitiv
EDT: Speick
5th comfortable shave with Hema blade, not bad. Speick EDT is finished no spare in the house. KEPKINH soap is a excellent perfomer, only 20 seconds loading gives enough lather for three passes and a touch up.

Palmira SC
Svoboda ASB
Groom AS Splash
Oscar Pour Lui EdT
I think this Shark blade is starting to lose some of its sharpness because it didn’t take off as much stubble during my first pass as it did earlier in the week. This Palmira cream from Serbia has a lovely old school scent with great lather and it gives great skincare also. The Svoboda balm from Russia has a nice clean, soapy scent, it’s quite mentholated, and is it ever moisturizing as well as soothing. Two passes with some touching up earned me a good BBS shave so I can’t complain!
Have a great weekend!

J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad and Cyril R. Salter Sublime Citrus:
This morning when I got up, I was already so lazy, that I forgot to take a picture of the J&T® Marble Wood APShaveCo SynBad, Cyril R. Salter Sublime Citrus and other stuff.
Blade and razor:
The Schick Proline B-20 for the 10th x used.
The Schick Proline B-20 may again tomorrow, because it is still good. The combination Pal Injector with Schick Proline B-20 is just fine.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Even forgot to pack edc, so the 444 and Loris E-181 Noir Man was the quick finish.
Then just lazed around, had a bite to eat in the harbour and now again lazy at the wheelhouse. Heavy life here at the Baltic Sea.

Super Speed/new Gillette
Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash
I saw that the Shark blade had become too dull for me to continue using it so I changed it up to a new Gillette and what a difference. The Kudu soap delivered tons of awesome lather along with its beautiful coffee/peppermint scent as well as its strong, delightful menthol sensation and such a great great postshave feeling. At the risk of sounding like a broken record there’s nothing like a nice massage with the Prep, and a couple of splashes of the Alt Innsbruck for a good, icy cold finish which makes you smell beautiful. Three most enjoyable passes and I’m almost as smooth as my wife and daughter!

Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle and Klar Kabinett:
This sunny day started with roses. The Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle made a nice foam. That went smoothly in the travel bowl. The Klar is a great soap, that gives me exactly that nice foam to shave with.
Blade and razor:
The Schick Proline B-20 for the 11th x used.
The Schick Proline B-20 did its job well, but since I do notice some decline, I found 11 times enough, so in the piggy bank. The Pal Injector with the Schick Proline B-20 is and remains a top combi, even if the blade loses some sharpness, the quality of the shave is very pleasant with this SE blade and beats for me any DE blade.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Meanwhile about 12 hours further and still the smell of roses hangs around my head thanks to the Ilgaz Rose Isparta edc, Regina Floris Rose Oil of Bulgaria ASG and Rose Fernelle Provence et Nature Edp. I love it.
