    Dove Men Face Wash
    Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Jayaruh WC1 Silvertip Badger
    Schick L-1
    Personna Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Barbasol Brisk AS

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC1 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes with my Schick L-1 razor and a Personna Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Barbasol Brisk after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Thank you, my friend! The water wasn't the issue, but rather the small rocks that my knees and elbows were digging into while taking the photo! :lyrtuy5:

    I guess it's time to give the Flair tip another hard look as I just had a GREAT shave with it. Sweat razor. Never really gave it a shot after our initial meeting which didn't end well. I have since gotten quite proficient though.

    MdC facial soap
    Weber PH
    Feather blade (day 2)
    Kent BK4 silvertip
    Kiss My Face shave cream
    Two passes
    Unrefined shea butter

    A simple but very good shave to celebrate my return to work after a vacation with my Bride. KMF shave cream works really well for me, and I can get it at the local supermarket.

    I hope you all have a great week.

    Tabac Tuesday
    May 26, 2015
    Prep: Hot Shower. Axe Shield Face Wash
    Razor: iKon Shavecraft 102 w/wave handle
    Blade: Red IP
    Brush: Omega 10066
    Lather: Tabac
    Post: Alum. Thayers Cucumber WH.
    Aftershave: Krampert's Acadian Spice
    Fantastic shave/soap! The Omega 10066 is a super brush, I wasn't a fan of Krampert's Acadian Spice until this morning. The iKon SC102 is mild enough that you really need to work to get a nick.

    A better tomorrow. Takes your best today!

    Tabacstag!
    Überlather Tabac mit Tabac provided great cushion and slickness for the FB set at nine for the first pass. I dialed down to five for the second and three for the last. It was an excellent shave. I have no irritation and a smooth face and neck.
    The Sherlock did sting more than usual, but the menthol helped with that and I think this scent is a very nice mix with Tabac.
    Prep: Mickey Lee Lime
    Überlather: Tabac mit Tabac
    Brush: The Colonel
    Razor: 1959 Gillette FatBoy 9/5/3
    Blade: Personna Lab Blue
    AS: Chiseled Face Sherlock
