First time i use the Tatra platinum blades. Only one day growt so not so big chalenge for it, but felt nice, sharp enough for daily shaving.
I used The Goodfellas' smile Scuttle to keep the brush varm, but the linkidea bowl to wipp up the lather, the scuttle i find to narrow and slic to wipp up lather in.

@Nordic dud Welcome, sir.

Great write-up. I’ll be following along.

I have a similar scuttle and found that it can be too narrow, especially with bigger sized brushes. I use it only occasionally now, especially when I have one of the smaller guys lined up. Most of time I use a 3D printed bowl with a large diameter. It works perfect with the big brushes without all the lather overflowing to the sides. Still, a scuttle is a nice thing on the colder days.

One nick, no iritation.

Tobs cream is one of my favorits. wery nice lather, nice scent also, but does not last long.
Gott a litle nick on the throat, to fast with the razor i think was the reason for that.

2 Pass + 1 pass under the jawline
no nicks, no iritation.

First time i used the DR harris soap. It didd produse a lott of lather, i didd not find it to be i the topp regarding slicknes, butt stil i gave a nice shaving experience. The scent reminded me of detergent, but not unnplesant. Not my favorit soap- but i love the woodbowl it come in.
The perma-sharp blade is one of my top blades, sharp, and also nice on the skinn.

A very nice shave

The brush i bougt today. Happy with it so far.
The laugar soap do have a nice scent, mentol/ecalyptus, ok lather- but nothing spesial. This i bought becaus it is made in scandinavia and was on sale.

I also got a Simson Captain 2 Best Badger in the mail. I orderd from Simsons web site. Very god service,
Cant wait to putt it to uce.
