Tabac Thursday
Tabac week continues with another great shave. I inverted the soap jar while loading the brush and it did seem to speed up the process. I didn't use the bowl since I was in a bit of a hurry, but face lathering worked very well. Three easy passes set on five leaves me with comfortably smooth skin.

Beat those drums and ring those bells - what a freeze this shave was and a delightful freeze at that. The Glacial Obsidian soap, balm, and Krampert's Frostbite aftershave left me almost numb as well as BBS!

Great shave this morning.

 

Hello TSD - my maiden voyage with the PAL:



- Barrister & Mann "Rhapsody"
- Semogue OC badger
- PAL Injecto-Matic
- Personna Injector-blade
- Tüff sensitiv Rasierwasser


The SOC produced so much lather from the Rhapsody soap that I could have invited some neighbors over for a shaving party. So I performed a 3-pass shave today instead of the usual 2 passes, because I did not want to waste all the soap

WTG the PAL is a very smooth performer, ATG I think it's a little more aggressive than the Schick G or the Bunny (the only other Injectors I have shaved with so far). So I think you have to be extra careful not to use too much pressure or to "overshave" certain areas of your face.

Anyways - my face is BBS now and I just felt a tiny bit of burning sensation from the Aftershave Wonderful shave.

Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick G1 Injector
Brush: Semogue 1520 boar
Lather: VDH Luxury scented
Post: Witch hazel splash, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Day 3 with this combination and another good shave. The VDH soap works pretty well. It's not the best soap out there but for it's quite good for the price. The G1 glided right through the lather with no problems. This is shave 9 with the Chick blade. I noticed maybe a tiny difference today, but it is still sharp and comfortable. No nicks, weepers, or irritation. Pretty smooth shave for one pass with touch-up.

Have a great day everyone!

 

Thanks. Works well, assembled in U.S.A. The best I could do. Bought a fridge a week or so ago, also assembled in the U.S.A.

 

Thank you @Boojum1.
