Don't look now, but I think you might have a bit of a theme going with that shave setup, Gary. I have always felt that Tabac would be a wonderful line of shave products -- if only it came in a different scent...

Clean and clear all over. No damage. 2 passes. Strong finish from the Fine Latigo A.S. As Outstanding As It Gets.

DE Shave # 560 - DEcember Shave - Nordost Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Gillette British Slim TQT (1966 - L2) Blade: Shark Platinum (1) Brush: JTSpartan Boar 24 mm Lather: Barrister & Mann Nordost Aftershave: B & M Nordost Additional Care: Omega Alum Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm Another fabulous shave with another vintage Gillette this morning. Several years ago I picked up this razor after a co sultation with our very own resident Gillette guru, Gary, @brit. It is a very nice TTO with a unique mechanism for opening the doors on the head of the razor. Several twist to the collar versus the stand twist at the base of the handle. Three passes with the razor that sported a new Shark Platinum blade resulted in a super smooth and close shave without a mishaps. The B & M Nordost software has a very nice nice scent. A slightly darker citrus vibe that is perfect for this time of year. Hope you all have had a great day.
