Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #144 2-band Badger
AC-Matic by Roger Quintero
Feather AC Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap was face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AC-Matic by Roger Quintero and the Feather AC Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday morning:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 3
Southern Witchcrafts Lavender SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Musgo Real Classic AS Splash

Although it’s as hot as hell today I decided to forego the menthol and I opted to go with the Lavender soap from SW. It’s so nice - what a great scent, it lathers beautifully, and it’s so gentle on my skin. The Lubriderm moisturizer and the Musgo Classic aftershave were a perfect finish. Three passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

Wishing you all a wonderful day - be well and stay safe!

Great shave Akhi! I know it’s super hot and I didn’t think this soap would work for me but I was wrong. It’s fantastic! Finishing the shave with a splash of Proraso Green is super refreshing!

SOTD: 08/12/2025

Razor: Timeless Razor Bronze
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium, 2nd use
Brush: Shavemac Americana D01 Silvertip 2-Band Badger
Bowl: CaYuen Workshop Abalone Bowl
Preshave: Hwayeon Soap Co. Shaving Gel Gel
Soap: Macduffs Soap Co. Prairie Sky Cream
Aftershave: Macduffs Soap Co. Prairie Sky Aftershave
Additional Care: Osma Alum
Additional Care: Thayers Facial Toner: Rose Petal

For this early week shave I went to one of my favorite artisans in Macduffs and with an amazingly efficient razor the Timeless in bronze.

The Timeless is an amazing razor! Smooth, balanced, and in bronze has a good heft to it. Super efficient again I was DFS after the first pass and still went for four passes between the joy of shaving with the Timeless and the soap which I’ll get to now.

Having missed Prairie Sky when it was dropped I was looking around after seeing the scent notes. I contacted Sean and he was nice enough to make me a set of soap and splash even though it’s not in stock. Sean, if you’ve never had the pleasure to have communication with him, is an amazing person and I can’t recommend Macduffs enough! I’m so happy I asked and Sean could come through. Such an amazing scent! It’s bright, fresh, sweet, with from what I can pick up a touch of citrus! Wow.! Sean is a master of scents!

Holy smokes what a shave! Amazing day and a shave to match!
Awesome shaves everyone!

well, 1st outing with the 3 piece Dscosmetic DS 44C, ('inspired' by the 34C), and TBH, I couldn't fault it.. mild, smooth, and efficient enough to get the job done.. and this ticked all the boxes.. it produced a shave that I would have expected from the 34C.. now, if it came in stainless..
