Le Coq reglable with Raira blade
Shavemac silvertip brush
TFS Mandarino shaving soap and AS
The Le Coq is a vintage French razor, very loud and effective if the right angle is maintained in the shave.

Brush and soap:
Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm and Klar Kabinett:
Bit of freshness and some protection from the Noxzema Protective Shave feels nice in any case, but whether it actually does anything? In any case, it feels good while I lather up a nice classic with the Oumo Brush LE 095/102 / silk HMW gel tip 26 mm. The Klar Kabinett is a great piece of rose soap. Just a nice rose, not too exuberant and fine fat lather, as you would expect from a good hard soap. A pity for those who do not know it, that it is no longer produced.
Blade and razor:
The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus used for the 6th time. The Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus was not really smooth this morning, good enough to get nice and slick, but it feels better sometimes. Possibly, the Ikon Shavecraft 101 with the Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus is not the ideal combo. This razor is a good shaver, but also a bit bulky. In that case, it is nice to be able to fall back on history. This Gillette Rubie is the 4th one I use in the Ikon. 2 pieces 7th turn and 1 was the blade in the 2nd turn and now the 6th. Will then surely be suggestion. Tomorrow I will know more. Result BBS.
Finally, some more rose spraying and smearing to complete the job. PeReJa Rose edc, Kashmir Rose Lanna Oriental Spa Lotion and Provence et Nature Rose Fernelle are very pleasant together in skin feel and matching scents.

Brush and soap:
Luyixian Synth-24x68 and Stirling Fern:
Nice firm fougère scent this morning while foaming with the Luyixian Synth-24x68 of the Stirling Varen. This soap is one of those real American fragrance bombs. Nice grassy and bushy.
Blade and razor:
Used the Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus for the 7th time.
Did the Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus not feel quite top-notch yesterday, today it was quite good again, with the result, that tomorrow it can be used once more. Then it will exceed my average. In the Gillette Fat Boy adjustable, the Gillette Rubie® Platinum Plus is again just right. Much better combination than yesterday with the Ikon #101. Smooth all around.
Result: BBS.
Finally: freshening up with 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser, moisturizing and caring with Stirling Varen ASB and another firm puff of fougère from the Loris E-003 Acqua Di Gio. Good start again this day.
 
M-keramiek scuttle

Nivea shaving stick
Fasan slant + derby usta
Proraso alum

The usta feels very scratchey in the fasan. Fine blade, fine razor, but not a good combination.
