Shaved with the puma 6/8 today
Great review and pics Thorsten.Hi Friends,
here my Shave of the Day (21.01.2026)
View attachment 1132
Razor: RazoRock Gamechanger .84 // Blade: Gillette Platinum // Soap: Soap Commander Fortitude // Brush: Yaqi Moka // Aftershave: Alum - Nivea Balm
A shave which was a little „weird.
The soap, lathered up in my Captains Choice Copper Bowl was fantastic as always. You can NEVER go wrong using Soap Commander. Such a wonderful base. Easy to lather, outstanding glide and cushion. I adore Soap CommanderTons of lather in my bowl and the other tons were in this great brush..this handle and the knot are SO good. Cloud-like tips and just the right amount of backbone for me.
The shave itself was smooth, gentle and thoroughly but at the end I had a few blood spots on the neckNo idea where these came from…
Maybe the blade was done or my skin was a bit irritated. Nevertheless 2,5 great passes.
Because of these tiny blood spots I’ve used my Alum Block followed by Nivea Balm to get a smooth and calming ending of the shave.
9 out of 10
Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.
Greetings
Thorsten
Cheers.

Brush: Trotter Handcrafts, Nordic, T1 Manchurian
Software: MacDuff’s and Aylsworth The Northman
Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant
Blade: Tatra Platinum (2)
There are so many good shaving soap sets out there and available now, but I would say that if you didn’t grab The Northman when it was available, you really missed out, respectfully and in my humble opinion. It’s just so very good. Have a great day folks.

Nivea Shave Balm
The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #199 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE MAX razor and the Supply Black Label Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Nivea Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

An exceptional evening shave.
Pre-shave: Hot shower
Soap & Splash: Westman Violet in Black
Razor: DS Cosmetics X1 SS316 Dual Comb
Blade: Personna Comfort Coated (1st use)
Brush: CF Shaves Helix, synthetic knot
The X1 gives a wonderful Shave, used the open comb for
for the WTG and XTG passes and the closed comb for ATG.
Worked wonders with no irritation even with a sharp blade (like the Personna) .
The Violet in Black scent is incredibly sophisticated—darker and more complex than your average floral at least to my nose.
