    Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #457
    Gillette Red Tip
    Gillette Super Blue Blade X3
    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac After Shave

    The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #457 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Red Tip Razor and the Gillette Super Blue Blade X3 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    SOTD Friday 30 August
    • Razor Gillette British Rocket FlareTip
    • Blade Gillette Minora Stainless (12)
    • Pre-Shave Tricare Goats Milk
    • Brush Synthetic
    • Soap Wilkinson Sword Black
    • Post Shave Thayers Witch Hazel - Unscented
    • Aftershave Brut Splash
    • Balm Nivea – Sensitive Pro - Post Shave Balm

    The Morning Shave.
    The Gillette Minora Stainless blade was in my c1950’s Gillette British Rocket FlareTip today.

    I collected a couple of very minor weepers from today’s shave. This blade has finally lost its edge. After 12 full head & face shaves the Gillette Minora will be swapped out.
    Must be honest with the quality, this is a great daily shave blade, especially if travelling and not wanting to take an assortment.

    This was part of a group participation shave; I do usually have a couple blades on the go at once to rotate.
    Looking forward to next week’s choices. I have a few blades from a 20-sample pack.

  12. Oh yeah absolutely, if it isn't broke there's no need to change to something more modern. My trusty 56 year old Gillette Slim gives me a much better shave than I ever was able to get with modern electric and disposable razors before I finally saw the light one day out of pure curiosity and decided to switch over to the art of safety razor shaving.
