Super nice combination of cream, brush, and aftershave!
This razor satisfied my craving for a straight. I find it incredible how the shave angle for this AC razor is much more compared to a straight razor...

Pre-Shave: cold water splash / YBN Glycerin
Razor: Mühle Rocca R95
Blade: Suneko Amorphous Diamond
Brush: Mühle Purist Silvertip Badger Ebonite
Bowl: DSC scuttle
Soap: Smoking Monster - Golden Dragon (tallow - unscented)
A/S: Two Girls - Florida Water (decant / diluted with Thayers Witch Hazel)
Aftercare: Aloe Vera Gelly
EdT: Zino Davidoff

A lovely mid-week DFS with the R95 and a new Suneko blade. This could've been a closer shave but I was pressed for time this morning. I'm very happy with the results nevertheless.

New gear includes the stainless steel razor stand from Yaqi where the razor can be kept standing or lying. Smoking Monster's Golden Dragon tallow-based soap and Two Girls Florida Water, which I diluted into another bottle Sind the alcohol content in this one is quite high.

The most positive experience of today's shave was the new soap. My badger brush lathered it up in mere seconds; the lather was exquisite. But more than lathering performance I am impressed with this soap's post shave feel. I have no soap irritation whatsoever and my skin feels hydrated even a day later. Many of the soaps I tried out are quite drying to my skin and often slightly irritating, which I counter mostly with WH and soothing Aloe Vera gel. Not so this soap. I'm not quite sure what it is: is it the very short ingredient list (apart from saponification ingredients only glycerin and tocopherol i.e. Vitamin E are added) or is it the tallow? Maybe it's the combination of all those things. In any case, this is probably the best soap I have tried so far, and I did try a few.

Have a great rest of the week, gents!

Comments	This is the second shave with my Merkur 37c loaded with a Wizamet blade. I am down to my last few Wizamet blades. Fortunately, I have some old stock PolSilver Super Iridium blades. The Merkur–Wizamet combination delivered a close and smooth shave. Today’s brush is the 2023 Contributors’ brush by Paladin. The brush, like all Paladin brushes, loaded soap easily and made excellent lather with the Haslinger soap. This was the 16th day I used the soap. The shave was perfect. Have a wonderful day, folks.
