    Leider benutzte ich diese fabelhafte Seife seit vielleicht 5 oder 6 Monaten. Ich habe so viel anderen Seifen deshalb denke ich an Tabac nicht. Vielleicht dieses Wochenende werde ich mich damit rasieren. :)

    I like the classic look of the ball end.and have only used it twice now. But... I got quite a bit of irritation today. Is that because its an aggressive razor and I need to learn how to use it better or possibly my blade is crap? I did two passes and minimal touch up for a decent passable shave. Couldn't take any more.

    Definitely staying away from any post shave with alcohol... And I still have a bit of burning.

    Edit: I corrected the name/type of the razor used.

    Time for a new set up, got five nice shaves out of the Astra SP and the Frankenpuck soap. Been awhile since I used the the Strop Shoppe soap.

    SoTD For Thursday, April 9, or, time to Treet myself.

    Pre- my faithful Bergamot, Balsam, and Clove PSO
    Soap- La Pere Lucien
    Brush- Semogue owner's club
    Razor- oxblood handle Treet
    Blade- vintage ('94) Gem Stainless.
    Rinse- Osage
    Aftershave- vintage Skin Bracer
    Balm- Kiehl's
    Cologne- eau sauvage

    Today I had a bit of extra time, so I decided to treat myself to a relaxed, deliberate shave. I chose to use a bakelite Gem Jr style Treet. I picked my oxblood colored version, because I love that particular color... In fact, I am wearing a matching oxblood colored Fred Perry and socks today. But regardless of my fashion decisions, that was the razor for the day. For those of you who do not have a 1912 style Treet, they are great. For the most part, a copy of the Gem, but with hybrid elements of the Micromatic Clog Pruf. Seriously. The bar is the notched Micromatic type, and there are the distinctive Clog Pruf long slots in the razor bed. It makes for a great variation of an already great razor. Paired up with a '94 Gen super stainless, I got a great 2 pass shave. Second day in a row with absolutely zero neck irritation. It is so nice when my Osage rinse doesn't hurt!
    The SOC continues working it's way to my favorite brush position, while the La Pere Lucien is already firmly in place as my favored soap. I decided to keep this shave old school Europe, and topped it off with Dior's Eau Sauvage. Originally launched in the '50s, and still a top seller in France, it is a classic. Happy day. Hope yours went well also.

    Prep: Hot shower
    Razor: Merkur 34C
    Brush: Omega 80080 Boar Brush
    Blade: Feather (3)
    Soap: TSD Sandalwood sample
    Post: Cold rinse, Alum block, TSD Sandalwood AS Milk sample :love055:

    My first time with the TSD soap. Very nice and subtle sandalwood. Not very overpowering. Lovely smell in general! JoAnna makes some great stuff! :happy088:
    The shave was excellent with 2 passes (XTG, ATG) + touch up and the TSD sandalwood aftershave milk sealed the deal. Love the milk!

    Hope everyone's having a great day!
