Brush: Custom with finest 2-band knot.
Shaving cup: Epsilon.
Shaving cream: Lea Classic.
Razor: Merkur 39C.
Blade: Sputnik (3).
After shave: Alcolado Glacial.

The shaving cream makes a nice fresh and thick lather.
The Merkur 39C razor is, just like the iKon X3, a very fine razor - effective
but yet mild. One can hear there's a blade in it, but not feel it ...

DFS++ !

Have a nice day, gentlemen ...;)

Three Pass Shaving Routine..:cool:

Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
Herder Constant Solingen Full Hollow 6/8th
Hans Baier Silver Tip
Valobra Tallow Soap
Humphreys Witch Hazel

I Had a Wonderful Shave Today with My Herder Solingen 6/8th..This Stainless Steel Blade SR is Way Different to My Stainless Steel Henkels Fioudur Solingen 7/8th..The Herder hasn't as Thin a Grind as the Full Hollow Henkels Fioudur & For Me is a Far More Forgiving Shaver..In Fact..I Feel that I Can Do No wrong with the Herder..I Find the Henkels Fioudur Scary by Comparison & it Requires a Lot More Attention to Use..:eek:

I Have Read on Some Forums a Stainless Steel SR Doesn't Take or Hold an Edge as Well as a Carbon Steel Blade...I Wouldn't Know about Modern Stainless SRs But this Auld Herder has One Keen Edge & a Very Smooth & Forgiving Shaver..;)

I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..:D
