[Timor1322]

Shavette: Feather Clone
Brush: Omega 10098
Blade: Feather Pro (3)
Soap: More for You ("MFY") (-Turkish vegetable barber soap-)
Post Shave: Brut Splash + Nivea Cream

Two pass, BBS, no irritation. Nivea cream hydrate very well, I confess, choice of "brut" was not an accurate choice for a hot summer shave . In order to get a "green color harmony" with the Feather Clone, Proraso Green would be better choice

Omega 10098 does a great job with the mug.

Soap reactes like Arko or Derby although there is not tallow ingredient. Palm oil based soap. Palm oil scented. I prefer Arko or Derby scent. Easy to lather MFY, Slickness and protectiveness are here. Post shave mehhh... This is the reason why Nivea Cream made a show off.
Soft soap easy to press into the bowl.

Soap Van Yulay Puros La Habana
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Gillette New LC
Blade Gillette London Bridge 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + HA + RazoRock Puros
Just a great aromatic cigarish leaf scent from this soap! Nothing else. The lather was nicely creamy and had good slickness too...really enjoyed it.
Shave with this very nice vintage razor paired with the good blade was very enjoyably smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a mostly bbs result. They sure got it right many years ago. Aftershaves were awesome too.

Another comfortable shave this morning from the Baili razor & blade duo. The Platinum + blade has surprised me with it's mild yet efficient smoothness.

An acceptable 2 pass + pick ups comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd President EdT to the pulse points.

SUNDAY SHAVE OT THE DAY
RAZOR:-MERKUR PROGRESS 4 Down 3.5 Across
BLADE:-VERTICE ONE BLADE (1x)
BRUSHES:-
1.PRE SOAKED PW MAROON BASE IN WARM WATER(BREAK-IN DAY)
2.TUX KNOT
STICK:- ARKO SHAVE STICK(SURF EXCEL LAUNDRY POWDER SMELL)
POST SHAVE:- HAJAMAT BALM

-The stick smelled exact replica of surf laundry powder.Initially planned for Hajamat Duo.

-Wet face rolled the stick nice till i could see white lines then took out piglet started face lathering.
It formed a thin white layer of snow ,Had expe expected it but not so dry.

-Next washed it away.Rubbed the brush in water and then hung on the stand.

-Took out tux brush rinsed in warm water re-rolled the stick.It took some time for the lather to bloom but it bloomed well enough for 2 pass.

-While dunking the razor in water the lather just diluted and doesn't sit like a lump like for other soaps of Pink woolf/Hajamat/Butterfly garden.

-Vertice One blade i felt smooth on setting 4 and aggressive as well but maybe the razor took care of the other.

-A neutral razor will give out its true nature.
Arko does have little aftershave feel with non drying effect as in creams.

-Although it smells laundry powder the smell doesn't last post shave the brush as usual maintain a whiff of it.

Happy Sundays
Stay safe
