Both are great. I tend to lean towards Tabac a little more, at least that’s been the case in the past. Gonna bust out the Tabac tomorrow.
When it comes to TABACco, I have Stoylin Gentleman A.S. and Sir Hare "ALPHA"(that company's Tobacco version)shave soap. I'm good.
I thought with summer we would be going around slower. My posting is affected by my schedule, I either post in late morning or late evening my time. Late evening for is late morning for me. We are 13 hours ahead of EST
This morning it was hard to break the fog, no idea why so I was in a hurry for me shave.... so no straight razor and no picture. My Joris was already loaded with a Feather (2) so she got the call. To wake up and beat the heat I picked Stirling Lemon Chill and an Omega boar. The shave was excellent.
I do shave with Tabac now and then, Bruce, but just have never received the post shave skin bennies I get from MWF.
I have several of Jose’ soaps: Gredos Kilix Brocha Samples: Aqua de Gredos Noir Viriato All excellent.
