Holy Toledo, what did Jaco put in this soap, liquid nitrogen? Honestly, it’s so bloody cold that it competes with any of the Stirling Glacial soaps. It’s glycerine based with a very nice vanilla scent, the lather is so thick, rich, as well as slick, the menthol sensation hits like a ton of bricks, and the skincare is excellent. The Prep’s moisturizing and soothing feeling is so wonderful, not to mention how frigid the Snake Bite aftershave is. Three passes left me frozen stiff and so BBS!

Wishing you all a great week - be well and safe!

It's been a while since i last used the La Toja shave stick and forgot how good of a lather it provided leaving a good post shave feel.

The Parker razor/ Feather blade duo continued to work together wonderfully still feeling very smooth and efficient.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face is feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Tabac AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the the original TNNSER Razor by T. White with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
