Silver Star blade
Plisson/L'Occitane brush
VeraSoapCo Peppermint SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Barbasol Brisk A/S w/aloe

Same as yesterday with the same wonderful results. This is a great combo. My face is very happy again. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Although I had a great shave with this new Midnight Lime soap from RVT I was crying like a baby. We're going to see my Dad and it looks like he's not going to be around for much longer. He has a bad infection which is not really responding to antibiotics. We don't for sure but it doesn't look good.

 

Sorry to hear about your Dad Jeff. Let's pray for peace for him, and you.

 

Very sorry to hear this news, Jeff. My prayers are with you and your dad.

 

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Tabac
Jayaruh #277
Schick Repeating Razor
Schick Proline B20
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Lucky Tiger

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #277 silvertip badger brush. I did two passes with the Schick Repeating Razor using a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Today's shave
Hot water wash with a washcloth
Rubberset 400/ whipped dog high mountain silvertip
Proraso Blue (bombed)
BW Middlebrooks 5/8 full hollow round end
Iced Nivia aftershave balm
Today's shave with a thank you to @rmcintyre84 . The 400 made excellent lather from the bombed proraso. Three passes with the Middlebrooks (a gift from @rmcintyre84 ). The newly honed (1000,4000,8000,apache strata) made a good shave. The skiny'ish 5/8 was very maneuverable. I finished with iced Nivia balm. Smooth and comfy.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

I was wrong.
The last time I tried Roam it was from the first run years ago. I'm embarrassed to admit that I traded it after only using it once. Since then, I've wondered if I was too hasty, and today I found out I did dismiss this scent too soon. When the tub came, the first whiff seemed harsh, almost acrid. I put it away to warm up from the cold and when I opened it this morning, the scent was different - leather, earth, and smoke, no acridity this time. I built the lather on my face and really warmed up to it - it didn't seem harsh at all, just manly, outdoorsy and not overpowering. I paired it with Chatillon Lux Bon Vivant, and it proved to be a good one. I won't be so hasty now.
