A morning shave experiment, a 💩 blade in a good razor and a good blade in a bad razor. Still better results with the good razor.
Good razor: Golddachs Butterfly+ FlyDear (Chinese blade from SheIn) 7/10
Bad razor: Aveo butterfly + DOVO (second use) 2/10
Soap: DOVO Berlin Barber 5/10 - this won’t be my favorite soap, I think - too bad, it wasn’t cheap ☹️
Brush: Omega 10015 7/10 - basic boar with a wooden handle, works nicely, for the price I can’t really complain
Pre shave: Hattric 7/10
Aftershave: Hattric 7/10
My skin was still more irritated on the side where I used the Aveo razor. Can NOT recommend it #wetshaving
BTW, 7/10 is a very good rating, not a WOW effect, but nice and could be used as a daily driver, not everything needs to be 12/10 😂😂😂

Judging by the price I saw when looking it up - this is way overpriced for an A&E soap! 39€ is crazy. By comparison, you get A&E Barbiere Classico, their own barbershop scent in their new Ultima base for ~27€ here . I can’t say anything about their Ultima soaps, as I’m only familiar with their Kaizen and K2e. However, even the K2e which is a very good base is only around 23€ everywhere.
However, I am glad to hear your skin has recovered enough from yesterday’s blood bath that you can already shave again!

Well, the price I paid was around 30 €, but still. It is still not 100%, but I wanted to try new things. Tomorrow, I will use a shavette :-)

30€ is still very expensive, especially for a soap you don’t like… I guess you pay more for the fancy packaging and the Dovo name.

If nothing else, I will keep the soap bowl and reuse it for the Golddachs soap :-D
