Soap Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mojito
Razor Dorko Solingen 4th
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + HA + Proraso Green Splash
Awesome lather from the soap. Love the scent, icy sensation & most of all, the creamy & slick lather...
Shave with this razor was enjoyable. I am liking very much the weighty feel of this near wedge razor. Edge feels smooth and comfortable but still unable to get the targeted efficiency. 3passes without any issues for a ccs to sas result. Aftershaves were awesome too.

The aluminium Lupo is a great little razor. That was an enjoyable shave.
