February Favorites!!

February 4

Razor - Kampfe Star
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush - Stirling 24mm Badger
Post - Alum

Here's another favorite, thanks to the fine enabling of @wchnu . The Fuzzmeister got me a bit hooked on Lather Catchers and I found this absolute beauty hanging around looking for a good home. I got some Treet Super carbon blades to go with it, got out the Stirling Iced Pineapple for Menthol Monday and the Stirling brush to lather it up. Outstanding lather. Got the razor loaded and had a bit of a time getting the handle to tighten up enough to not work loose. I also noticed the blades are discolored. Not rusty, but definitely discolored. A bit concerned going into the shave. This is only one of several packs I've bought of them, but all 5 blades showed stains.

Lathered it up and went to work. First pass wasn't horrible as I feared with the blade. Although it wasn't as smooth as I know these blades can be. And, by the time I finished the first pass I knew I had a blade issue. It just wasn't cutting right. So, double checked the pack and found the issue on all of them, then got out a CVS carbon and loaded it for the next two passes. Success! That LC just went to work on that blade and made all kinds of noise and got me all kinds of smoooooooooooth. Definitely a great finish. No blood, just smooth and the alum only bit a couple of times. I'll take it any day of the week.

Monday SOTN

Decent 2 pass shave with the Rex Ambassador and excellent slickness with the Tabac stick...

I'll blame just "decent" on the blade - a little harsh so I stopped at two passes and chucked it. I think 7 shaves was too far with my coarse beard. I'm feeling a Personna blue in my near future. Off to bed. Night

This is more like a prep for surgery than a shave. Better go with a Personna Med Prep blade for this one.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Proraso Pre-Shave
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #326
Micromatic Open Comb
Gem Blue Star CS SE
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. After the CWR, I applied the Proraso. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #326 synthetic horse brush. I did two passes with the Micromatic Open Comb razor with a Gem Blue Star CS 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...
