2 days growth,
Tabac Tuesday, Gillette Tech
View attachment 285314
Prep = usual
Cream = Tabac cream
Brush = Semogue OC cherry finest badger (1)
Bowl = Op Shop Microwave proof bowl made in Japan
Razor = Gillette Made in Argentina Tech
Blade = Gillette Rubie (1)
3 passes + touch ups
Post = cold water rinse, Alum, cold water rinse, Thayers, Tabac ASL and Balm
Semogue: first time use of, nice backbone; soft on the face, holding on to the lather a bit, already splaying after one use
Argentinian Tech: no problems with lather clogging
Rubie (1): smooth, sharp, happy
Bowl: nice and wide, reasonable depth lightweight, easy to clean
Results: some BBS top lip after ATG. Superbly scented for the day
Damage: none
After all was said and done and the clean up completed I found some stubborn little stragglers at the midline just below the chin: Gillette Sensor Excel to the rescue, oh well it’s still a Gillette day!
After
@Terry ‘s comments about old timers & grey beards etc, I think I will stick to single use of blades for a while to see if this helps…
(PS: Finally the Plumbers have come and gone from this house, hope that’s the last I will see of them, we have gas, water, hot water and no more leaks...)
