Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Tabac
JR#257 Synthetic
Micromatic Clog Pruf
Personna Gem CS
Personna Pal CS
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Florida Water

Today is day two of the blade test. Up for the first pass will be the Pal CS blade followed by the GEM CS blade for the second pass.

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Ingram Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the JR #257 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Micromatic Clog Pruf Razor using a Personna Gem and Pal CS SE blades and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Both blades performed very well today. I got a very close shave with no issues. Audible feedback was there with both blades.

 

Tonight's shave was with a German Razor. I had a very nice 2 pass shave, that left me with a DFS. Zero issues. Great shaving razor.

Razor- J.A.Henckels, Zwillingswerks.
Brush- Omega Boar
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Telescope Decanter, circa 1973-1976.

 

I've got to get me a Henckels straight now. Nice picture.

 

Mixer upper today
Hoffritz pure badger brush
Old school AOS sandalwood soap (stuffed in an aos cream container)
Merkur Progress (4)
Ladas (2)
Crusellas Gardenias
Three pass shave with the progress opened up a bit and a newish Ladas blades, I'm very shaved.
I mixed the earthy clayee aroma of the old aos with the crisp green flower of Crusellas Gardenias, I'm vey pleased with the mix, hope it lasts into tomorrow.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

I really like your essential oils + unscented soap idea and might one day borrow it.
