Favorites is fun. For those that haven't tried it, Tabac is tobacco flower scented. It's a European man's scent that has been compared to the smell of your grandmothers purse. Being a hard puck soap it last a long time. It also gives great lather with little effort. I dribbled a little water on the puck to speed up loading, then got my moistened & shook out badger knot well impregnated with soap. Plenty of lather for three passes & clean up. The photo shows what was still in the knot when I'd finished shaving. This was I think my 3rd use of the Double Open Comb DE. Very impressed with the results. No nicks or cuts despite the scary big blade exposure. While I might not recommend a Fatip or Gillette NEW OC to a newbie, is one's giving great reduction with little learning curve. DFS+ = IBSS! Splash of Uber Manly tobacco and leather AS/Cologne to counter act the Grandma's Purse soap scent.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

Please do......it was meant in a good way.

 

Great shave and those Yaqi DOCs are hard to beat for the money. I have a few and enjoy them greatly!

 

That will never happen.......that would take all of the fun out of the room.

 

That is a masculine shave, Rick.

 

Good looking shave and write up Rick.

 

Heyyyyy, I resemble that remark. Baaad JuJu!!!!

 

Dug out the old Wilki soap from many many years ago that's been sitting dried out and neglected for ages. Still lathers so I'll use it up since thats my goal ...thin out the soaps. The Burma shave brush didn't shed today (for once) and kicked the lather out of the old soap. My gf complimented on how smooth I was today , although she prefers the Stetson AS . Can't win em all.

Busy weekend! Not a lot of time to post beyond checking in occasionally the past few days. I’m at the airport now getting ready to board for Vancouver for a few days of meetings. Did get a nice shave in first this afternoon with a favourite razor and some new gear that is also reaching fave status. I’ll have more time to catch up later tonight.
Have a great evening, all!
