Bowl: CaYuen Workshop Abalone Bowl
Preshave: Hwayeon Soap Co. Shaving Gel Gel

Additional Care: Thayers Facial Toner: Rose Petal

Today was a quick shave as I was headed out to Brooklyn to see my NY Liberty take on the Indiana Fever. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like Caitlin Clark will be playing (injury) but still great to see the Libs! It was also my first shave in two weeks since I had surgery on my face. I went with the Tatara Muramasa Ti, which has quickly become my favorite razor, and with BBS Pacific Horror.

The Muramasa Ti is just perfection for me. I hadn’t shaved in two weeks but had buzzed the cheeks with the clippers a few days back. Still had significant growth by today. I set the Muramasa to 4 slapped in a Wizamet and it sliced through my uncut stubble like a samurai sword! And being in a slight rush I just went for two passes wtg and xtg and came out with a BBS shave! This razor is one of my desert island razors for sure!

And what more can I say about BBS Soaps?!? Man they just knock it out the park every scent! This is a dupe of LV Pacific Chill. Super fresh, citrusy, aquatic super summery and chill. It’s a hit!

All in all a great shave! Which can be made better with a defending champion New York Liberty victory!!! Let’s go Libs! Have great shaves!

Tabac Wednesday 23 Jul 2025

1 Days growth

Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Derby Menthol shave cream
Soap = Tabac
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = white plastic
Razor = Gillette Popular 1939
Blade = Euromax made in India (2)
Passes = 2 and touch ups
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal
ASL = Tabac
ASB = Tabac
Scent = Tabac

Still a favourite razor of mine, maybe the sentimentality of its age (1939). The handle is less grippy than it could be but some alum takes care of that

Tabac Full House again

 

The Wednesday Lineup.

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #474 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette NEW Deluxe Razor and the Perma-Sharp Super Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Wednesday morning - almost a Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 11
Denu SC (from Colombia and very mentholated)
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

This tube of Denu has been sitting in my cupboard for ages - at least 15 years so I decided to give it a spin this morning. The scent is nothing special but it gives great lather which is fairly slick, and it has a powerful menthol sensation to it - not Glacial level but it’s definitely the coldest tube cream on the market. The Stoffel balm and the Floid Vigoroso were a perfect finish. Three glorious passes gave me an awesome BBS shave - no complaints whatsoever!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!
