    Happy Sunday Everyone! Another great shave this morning. Since this soap should be done in the next 3-5 shaves, I need to give some thought to the next target. I will be working this afternoon in order to meet month end deadlines. Take care and have a great day. ​

    Tabac Usage through 01/21/2024
    Lather: Tabac ORG = 152

    Since I was introduced to Tabac in February 2023, I immediately liked it. It was my most used soap in 2023. also it's the only soap I've used for my daily shaves in 2024. I moved the last remining bit out of the ceramic jar and have been loading it from the bowl shown below. On Saturday January 20, 2024 I completed my 152nd shave to complete my first ever puck of Tabac!

    Now I'll be focusing on my refill of Veggie Tabac. As of today I've used it 25 times so it has a ways to go! Love Love Tabac!

    I've come across many artisans whose public relations is, may I say, more MATURE than Phoenix. I'm a PR kinda guy.

    Welcome to the thread, Paul. This is where the action is. ;)
    I have to say, 3017-ing two pucks of Tabac in a row is :shocked003::shocked003::shocked003::shocked003::shocked003::shocked003::shocked003::shocked003::shocked003:

    It's still free country. I would never tell anyone where to buy---or NOT buy a product. I made my decision for me and me, alone.

    La Toja Shave Soap & Aftershave

    [​IMG]

    Happy Monday. We had a nice sunny but chilly day yesterday with most of the upcoming week looks to be rainy and messy. Another fantastic shave to start the day. This soap will certainly be gone before the end of the week. I was digging through my shave cabinet and found a new La Toja shave stick. I might just take it on our trip this summer. Take care and have a great day. ​

    A fantastic shave featuring Tabac Veggie. I'm using Tabac exclusively this month. It's a definite favorite! My Zenith brush whips up an amazing later in just seconds.

    Can you tell a difference between the old and new formulas?
     
  15. awk-m4

    Yes definitely. The soap itself is lighter in color.

    The veggie puck is in the ceramic jar. When I took this photo I moved the remaining original formula to the shaving bowl. As previously mentioned, I finished my original puck this past weekend.

    I find the scent a bit different. I picked up a scent that was familiar to me, reminded me of Ivory soap which was a staple in my home growing up.

    I find the new formula a more thirsty soap. Of course adding some water along the way fixes that up. In terms of performance, I'm very happy with it. Regardless of what soap I shave with, I finish every shave with a splash of Tabac Aftershave. I love this stuff!

    Ethos Bay Rum~~Semogue SOC Boar~~Wolfman WR-2 OC 1.15 Darwin/Wilkinson Light Brigade~~Chiseled Face Midnight Stag
    My new Wolfman arrived from Canada today and I took it for a
    spin.
    The 1.15mm gap seems large, but it doesn't shave that way.
    Very smooth and wonderful to use.
    The Darwin handle isn't the most ergonomic in the world, but what a beautiful design.
    For my friend @wristwatchb I liberally sprayed on some Midnight Stag.

    The Wolfman is a beauty, Joseph! What a great addition to your den!

    And considering I'm upwind and several hundred miles away, it is a great stank choice for you, my friend!

    La Toja Shave Soap & Aftershave

    [​IMG]

    Happy Tuesday. Wow what a week and it has just started. Another fantastic shave to start the day. I find this WR2 with its 1.05 mm blade gap to be both smooth and efficient. Of course the shave is even better when uses a fantastic soap like La Toja. Take care and have a great day. ​
