Blade: Dovo (2)

7/10 - I managed to get a smooth shave at the end, but it took me 4 times to achieve that on my chin.

Pre shave: Hattric
Razor: Merkur 15c
Blade: who knows, it was there, I forgot which one it is and it has no branding, but it still worked
Brush: Mühle Rytmov Pure badger
Soap: Mühle Aloe Vera
Aftershave: Seinz. AS Balsam
I’ve made a very nice lather out of this soap, it helped a lot with the shave. Just a bit of skin irritation, which is understandable with a razor like this. But after I applied the balsam, I feel great.
8.5/10 👍👍

Pre-Shave: Hattric SR: Beviro closed comb Blade: Mühle (1) Soap: Proraso Red Brush: Nom Gustav Pure Badger After-Shave: Speick
This Beviro safety razor is most likely made by Mühle, the head is the same, the store that has created the brand Beviro also is heavily focused on the Mühle brand, the Mühle blade should be included in the package (it was not in mine). The head also very closely resembles the Mühle closed comb head (same shape of the “teeth” on the edges of the main plate).
It was a very mild, but still effective shave. The safety razor is pretty simple, not the most affordable one and the availability outside the czech republic might be limited, but I like the design and it simply works. The major downside is the handle that is not slippery per se, but also not grippy.
Overal score of this shave: 8/10

Today, a conservative shave…
Hattric pre-shave Böker Barberette Pro + Gillette Platinum Weleda shaving cream Golddachs Pure Badger brush Hattric after-shave
I need a bit of a healing time after my last few experiments so I only did a down and side stroke. My skind already feels much better. That Golddachs brush is something I like. OK, it does not make a very fluffy foam, especially not from a shaving cream, but it looks nice, it was not expensive (I think I’ve only paid like 15 €) and the feeling on my face is pleasant.

If nothing else, I will keep the soap bowl and reuse it for the Golddachs soap :-D
- Comment on Wednesday SOTD Thread - July 31st, 2024 2 months ago:
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 :-)

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 😂😂😂

A good one, usually below 4€ in Germany, very very affordable

I like my Böker shavette (Barberette Pro, although I think they rebranded them for some reason), with a high quality (my opinion) Timor blades. Then it is a very comfortable shave. Some other blades are also OK, but honestly, I don’t mind if my shave is 20% more expensive if it is pleasant ☺️

The classic one with the green label: pitralon.com/pitralon-classic-after-shave/
- Comment on Tuesday SOTD Thread - July 30th, 2024 3 months ago:
Pitralon is great, cheap, stable, it smells good.
- Comment on Tuesday SOTD Thread - July 30th, 2024 3 months ago:
I also have less than stelar experience with the included pack of Wilkinson (with the shavette), maybe there was a batch that was not good and by incident, all those blades were used for the shaving set.

A shave. Well, shave - more like a bloodbath. Inferno. Stalingrad 1942 was just a demo compared to what had happened in my bathroom.
A new razor, by Müller (German store) and their private brand Aveo. And the included blade. First I was impressed by how smooth and gentle it is. But when I used it against the grain, the horror had started. I can’t recommend it, at least not this razor/blade combo. A good splash of Pitralon to cool it down. Golddachs soap was excellent, as usual.
Razor: Müller Aveo - Butterfly (TTO) Blade: Aveo? (included with the razor) Brush: Aveo Soap: Golddachs Sandelholz (Sandalwood) Preshave: Hattric Aftershave: Pitralon + Alpa 378 (I used Alpa on the upper lip where the damage was the worst, to heal the skin)
3/10
