Wednesday morning shave (belated writing, lacked the time to do yesterday):
Pre.: Hot water rinse, organic coconut oil, Proraso green pre-shave cream
Brush: Mühle Classic 23mm STF black resin handle
Soap: Klar Seifen - Classic
Razor: ShaveCraft #104 Tech on a Stork Classic aluminum handle
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock SharpEdge (2nd use)
Post.: Hot water rinse, alum, cold water rinse, Lucky Tiger Vanishing Cream, Cremo Cooling post shave balm, Alpa "Windsor" blue AS, Tom Ford "London" EdP
Strangely rough shave... hmmmh maybe I didn't use enough water in the lather... skin got irritated
still good result.
Thursday morning shave:
Pre.: Hot water rinse, organic coconut oil, Proraso green pre-shave cream
Brush: 30mm Tuxedo knot on a Shavemac 82 renaissance handle
Soap: Klar Seifen - Sport
Razor: ShaveCraft #104 Tech on a Stork Classic aluminum handle
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock SharpEdge (3rd use)
Post.: Hot water rinse, alum, cold water rinse, Vifrex, Myrsol Emulsion, Myrsol "Formula K" AS, Tom Ford "Noir" EdP
Again today, somewhat rough shave... I think the blade is degraded, but also the soap doesn't seem to work as good, as MDC or Meißner Tremonia or I Coloniali.
Hmmmh... will have to check tomorrow.
But ok, sometimes shaves can be better, sometimes they aren't, that's life
Wishing all a great and funny Thursday!

Received the Gillette Skin Guard razor as a promotion from Gillette. It is a Fusion metal/rubber/plastic handle with a 2 blade cartridge that has a guard top and bottom. Not bade as you don't feel the bade. The cost of replacement blades are ridiculous.
