Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #270
RazoRock Black Hawk
Feather Professional
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #270 brush. I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor with a Feather Professional SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday morning will feature this setup:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 3
RVT Frosty Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
Aramis EdT

Damn, do I ever love this Frosty Bay Rum - the scent is delicious, the lather is great, and the menthol effect feels so invigorating even though it doesn't overwhelm you like a Glacial soap would. The Prep is a perfect companion because of its scent and post-shave care!

 

Tuesday

Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Sandpiper
Soap: Coate’s Lavender Cream
Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed
Blade: Schick Plus Platinum (9)
Brush: Maggard Synthetic-24mmx56mm
Aftershave: Pino Silvestre Underwood

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

Coate’s Lavender Cream today. 20 seconds to load the Maggard Synthetic brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette Red Tip Super Speed. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Pino Silvestre Underwood aftershave.

Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Clubman Reserve Gent's Gin A/S

Needed a mild razor after yesterday's debacle and this one fit the bill. Nice easy shave that was gentle on my face/skin. The Maison Lambert brush delivered a wonderful lather again. This brush, although really big, is easy to use and has so far provided wonderful lathers. It is heavy tho, 6 oz and you can tell. Well, it will just help you build up your biceps. Now go enjoy your day folks.

First time out with the new Timeless Bronze razor, and I loaded it up with a fresh Rockwell edge. That required a slow, careful two pass shave, with a bit of touch up. The reward was a near dolphin smooth face and only a little bloodletting. The Pele's Fissure 8 Eruption synthetic brush worked great with the TOBS cream. I was able to stucco my mug with awesome thick, slick lather. That alone was worth the time and effort. The crisp apple Teacher's Pet splash made the perfect finish.

************-Opening Day for the Dorco 6(Blades) Pivot. . I really want this to be comfortable for me-looks so nice. I'll start with this, and if need be, go to the Gillette Pivot for relief. I watched a video where the guy shaved one side of his face with the Dorco/other side with a Gillette something. Used Barbasol w/Aloe. He called the Dorco the winner!
